It’s easy to underestimate the place from the outside, but the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth, the attention to detail, and smell of quality food all around. We had the dorada — which was excellent — and a plate of grilled meats, also great. The owner was also very welcoming and attentive, shaking every guest’s hands, and truly making the experience feel like dining in your uncle’s home. 10/10

Simply the best vegan food in town! I was so surprised to see that they have so many vegan options and even more surprised when I tasted the food. It was by far the best vegan food I had in Berlin! Will be a regular from now on 🤍

A WONDERFUL find! We were in town for Berlinale and stayed in a hotel nearby. Ended up having dinner here every single night, as the food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. The grilled skewers and mussaka were delicious, and so were the desserts. The owner and all the waiters were incredibly attentive and friendly - and take great pride in treating all their customers as guests. 10/10 highly recommend!

We visited Berlin for 3 nights in January (group of 4) and we went to this restaurant twice ! The food was amazing and the service was fantastic. I would highly recommended. The moussaka was divine and the atmosphere was brilliant! It was really busy on the two nights we attended. I would advise to book before going :)

Our food was great and every dish on the menu comes also with a vegetarian or vegan alternative. There are also plenty of gluten free options. The staff were friendly and we had a very nice time. Ps: make sure to look at the back of your napkin :)

Incredibly tasty, filling food, wonderful service. The atmosphere of the place is inviting with interesting Ethiopian art and table clothes. We lingered for teas after our meal and a woman heated aromatic herbs using a flame, then brought the herbs around to the tables to scent the air (after asking us to make sure it was ok!). The soundtrack was nice and they even turned down the music for us when we said it was a bit loud. Would 100% recommend for a great evening out

I really like this Ethiopian restaurant as it is close to my house. For the first time I ordered a salad and was a bit disappointed as it was nothing special, could have been done better at home and for the price it is not worth it. However, the main dish was super good. I took the mix plate with lamb curry and 3 vegetarian dishes. It was super good and really filling.

It's a true Ethiopian restaurant in Berlin! There's a good choice of different dishes, although the portions are not that big. Prices are although very low. The waiters were extraordinary nice and the location is so pretty!
Eleonora Tonino - 2 years ago

The portions are very generous and the food is tasty. No problems with the staff and they were very accommodating. Probably best to go with a friend or two to share meals together. The location is also very good as it's close to U Hallesches Tor.
Yaser Hammadi - 4 years ago

The restaurant is tastefully decorated with traditional fabrics, ceramics and tables. The service was excellent and the staff were polite, attentive and made sure we felt welcomed and we had a good tome. We ordered the Mixed Plate for two people and it was delicious. All of the dishes work perfectly together - the stronger Chicken and Beef and the complimenting milder lentils and vegetables. Overall a very healthy cuisine with fermented bread and vegetables, legumes dishes, stunning cottage cheese and homemade meat stews.

We had a really good pork schnitzel with eggs and a nice cold beer. Staff is helpful and friendly and they speak English. I definitely recommend this place.
B Przystawski - 5 months ago

Came here 3 times this week,and it was amazing every time.I had the pork and beef meatballs with the potatoes on the side which were amazing,and the other days I had the pork schnitzel which was honestly my favourite dish and was super super amazing. The schnitzel and potato really complemented eachother and were both amazing.5/5 stars

Less restaurant and more neighborhood beer hall with a limited menu. Even with a limited menu, food is very good. Schnitzel, meatballs, fried eggs and cold sandwiches. Schnitzel and meatballs (with potatoes and pickle) are very good. Staff is friendly and does a good job. Cash only!

I just stopped by for a quick lunch, but my experience here was still extremely satisfying and welcoming, in all regards. Felt like home. The service was friendly, attentive and helpful and the dish was served promptly under 15 minutes from when I arrived. As for the food, it was lovely. Pure perfection, far exceeding my expectations. The filled peppers were the best ones I ever had in my life - tender, buttery, well seasoned, full of flavor and authentic. The potatoes were a great vessel for the sauce and the salad on the side perfectly cut through the richness of the filled peppers. If I had to have a complaint, it would be that it may be a bit pricey for a meal people usually cook at home. The peppers and a big bottle of water were 22.80 € altogether. However, the quality definitely justifies the price and I guess that this is normal for a lunch/dinner in Berlin in 2025. Visiting this place made my whole day and I can‘t wait to come back and try other dishes.

Had a lovely night here recently. Went along with a few friends and ordered some sides and different grilled dishes. They also provide English menus and you are able to pay on card. The staff were really friendly and provided some good recommendations on wines.

Thabk you for your warm welcome and for the best kebap.

After a night of partying, I was super hungry, and like an oasis in the desert, this little Dönerei (does this word even exist?) appeared. Oh my god. The meat was delicious and PLENTIFUL in my Döner box. Actually I'm making myself hungry and I might go there again this evening. Edit: I went again and got a delicious and huge dürüm!
Tristan B. - 9 months ago

The quality and the taste was really good. It wasn't too oily, the bread was delicious, meat and other ingredients were really good. I was very pleased. However, there is not much space to sit, so it's best for takeaway.
Elly Gh - 9 months ago

Oh my Gosh!!!! Walking to find dinner and there was this incredible scent in the air and I followed it. To be honest, I've never had a kebab in my life. The guys that were working were very patient with me and made me this massive and most DELICIOUS thing I've eaten in a long time! I don't know if all kebabs are like this but as far as I'm concerned, this one is AMAZING!

Cheap big tasty portions with lots of veg. Not fancy cuisine but if you’re on a budget and hungry this is the place for you. Great value and also feels light and not too greasy
India Barford - 2 weeks ago

I ordered the süɓ sauer ente kross (sweet& sauer crispy duck) for takeaway. Quick service, good taste, good prize, well sized portion, alu meal box keeping the dish hot and no additional plate needed at home. Beats cooking yourself all day long!
Paul Ballering - 2 years ago

I stopped because I wanted a hot, solid meal. Laby took my order, sat outside and she made everything FRESH. I don't know about these negative comments but for the price, for the amount of food (plate full!), a solid hot meal....this hit the spot. Thank goodness I stopped...it started raining like a monsoon! I did pick up after myself and took the plate etc inside and thanked the lady. She was surprised. Maybe make an effort and be kind people. 1 lady running the place. Anyway, I'll be back to try something else because it was good, solid, hot, and fresh.
L KY - 11 months ago

Food was heavy, greasy, and sometimes you couldn’t understand what kind of vegetable you’re eating since it tasted so weird. Don’t recommend this place for people with more sensitive stomachs.
Kristina Kirkliauskaitė - 6 months ago

Good Asian Food, cheap but very tasty. Location is interesting and real Berlin. If the owners-wife serve or make the meal... she is a little bit rough, (mentally) but anyway you came for a good meal.

So comfy and comforting! Sudanese falafel with peanut sauce was revalation when I first visited Berlin over 15 years ago and it brings peace to my heart to see Sahara still going strong. This branch is particularly cozy because customers have graffitied the walls of the inside seating area. A small complaint about our most recent visit - we ordered a falafel makali and a halmoumi makali sandwhich but we got 2 sandwiches with haloumi and only 1 with makali. I just removed the cheese and gave it to my partner but other vegans might get upset.
Amy Turtle - 5 months ago

My sandwich was so-so. I tried better sandwiches in Berlin from the same cuisine. The nice part is they serve tea for free :)

Great pasta and pizza! Owner runs the place for 30 years. Some people claim his behavior was very Berlin Kreuzberg-like.
Daniel Haese - 8 months ago

i came looking to save some money from the expensive prices in the city centre and i ended up having the best pizza i’ve ever had
Boni Boletus - 2 years ago

If you are tired of the same old pizza flavors, give this place a try! Their pizzas are absolutely delicious. Ambiance is a little dark and shady but thats ok!
