If you come to this location by foot, you may seem skeptical at first, but once you go inside the restaurant, you know everything will be amazing. Don’t let your opinion of foreigners around this berlin area shape your prejudgement about this restaurant.
I came here with my family of 8. It was difficult to find anything available for a party of 8, but managed to find this hidden restaurant on open table. Let me tell you, this hidden gem made our trip complete.
We were warmly welcomed and a table was prepared for us immediately. The owner came around to greet us and offer us suggestions should we not know what to order, but we all knew immediately what to order. I can recommend anything on the menu.
We ordered the appetizer sample plate, and everything was delicious. They even made whole wheat flat bread, which was warm and fresh. We also ordered the baba Ghanoush, which was amazing. The eggplant had that fresh off the grill aroma and was warm. We also had the falafel, which in my opinion is difficult to make, but they somehow perfected it. It was crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. Most places either burn the falafel or it turns out soggy or too dry on the inside. They, however, perfected the art.
The side salads that came with every meal were also delicious and had a lot of variety in the choice of vegetables. The dressing was also very tasty. The dishes that were ordered varied from lamb, beef, shrimps, etc. I can honestly say this is one of the best restaurants in the area and I highly recommend this to anyone, especially groups.
If you want the special dessert, make sure you order it at least 20 minutes before you need to leave. They make it fresh. It is definitely worth the wait.
I read some reviews about people complaining about the service being too slow. We came in around 19:00 and noticed two waiters leaving as they were off duty around 20:45. This did cause some delay for other tables that just arrived, but honestly, the food makes up for it. At the end you also get a free tea; we were in a rush to leave at the end and didn’t get to enjoy this, but I am sure we will be back in the near future.
