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 :)

From the amazing food to the super friendly staff, this Greek restaurant impressed us. I haven't had such delicious food in a long time. The staff was very friendly and funny. Our friend from the company spoke Greek and it was a lot of fun. Thanks for the great food and stay. I would visit Berlin again just for this restaurant.

I had high expectations based on the great reviews, but my experience at Taverna Athene was disappointing. Despite having a reservation, I received little attention and had to wait quite a while. The table offered was not great, and overall the service felt disorganized. The dish I had was okay, but definitely not exceptional—nothing that would justify the wait or make the visit memorable. Maybe it was just an off night, but I expected more from a place with such high ratings.

Another amazing experience at Taverna Athene! Last time, we tried the chef’s special, which was a mixed grill with lamb chops, lamb skewer, and another cut—all incredibly delicious! The sides were just as good, especially the crispy potatoes and the creamy tzatziki. We also had moussaka and a fresh salad with balsamic-mustard dressing, both fantastic. This time, we ordered Dolmadakia (Grape leaves with rice filling and homemade tzatziki),Arnisio souvlaki (a large tender lamb skewer, in our own marinade, served with fried handmade style garlic potatoes and Tzatziki) and Gyros (Pork from the rotisserie, with Tzatziki) with Greek-style potatoes. Everything was great again! The kebab (lamb skewer) last time had smaller, more tender pieces that melted in the mouth, while this time the cuts were bigger but still juicy and flavorful. They also serve a welcome shot of Ouzo Plomari, which is a nice touch. Even their house wine is pretty good! Definitely coming back!

Taverna Athene was truly one of our highlights while’s visiting Berlin. We were in search of an authentic Greek restaurant to end our trip with an we can’t recommend this place enough! BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE WE HAVE WVWE HAD! The staff was so kind and caring, it felt like we were in the living room with family. We got recommendations from our servers and every bite is bursting with flavor and so much love! The spanakopita has the flakiest crust I’ve ever tasted and don’t even get me started on the tzatziki—creamy, garlicky, and ridiculously addictive. 12/10- please do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. Will be back every time we are in Berlin- we are in love!

Great hookah/shisha lounge, super friendly staff. The gentlemen who helped us were very kind through a slight language barrier, and made sure we were comfortable. Two stories, but they brought out chairs and a table for us to sit outside. Had a very good experience here for a late night smoke sesh.

Did only takeaway falafel roll. It was fresh and the owner let me come back with cash next day 😊.

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.

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!

From outside you would hardly notice that this unflashy place actually offers the best Ethiopian food imaginable. Even a member of the Ethiopian royal family comes here when in town. Highly recommend is the plate to share and eat with your fingers only

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.

Visited this cozy restaurant on a Saturday evening. Location is a little far from our hotel but we felt like eating Ethiopean food and this one had good reviews. The food is indeed well spiced. We chose the menu for 2 which consisted of beef goulash, lentils, 2 chicken drumsticks, feta, cabbage and salad. We paired it with South African white wine and Djuju Mango. Good service, nice ambiance with the candles.

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!

Very disappointing place, had high ratings but was pretty bad. The salad was absolutely awful. They’re definitely using old vegetables and when I asked why the lettuce was yellow and wrinkly, they said it’s meant to be that way 🤦‍♂️
Carlos Huang - 2 months ago

Somehow small with ample seating? Feels timeless the moment you step inside. Quaint, busy, cosy - Perfect place to stop in. Food smells and is wonderful. Low key, filling, tasty, goes great with cold beer. So glad we popped in!

This place has such a pretty outdoor area, especially on a sunny day. The overall design is lovely, and it’s the kind of spot where you could easily spend hours relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. They even have a dedicated laptop area, though I was a bit disappointed to find out that laptops aren’t allowed on weekends when I came to work. My favourite dish here is the Caponata and Hummus, it looks beautiful and tastes even better!

A friend recommended this place, and I almost ordered everything on the menu, including the kitchen sink, because the food looked like it could win a beauty pageant. Unfortunately, it was more of a “looks can be deceiving” situation. The French toast was just bread with berries, lacking any sweetness—like a vanilla-less vanilla dream. I don’t usually go for super sweet stuff, but this was supposed to be a flavor explosion, not a flavor fizzle. On the bright side, the staff was friendly, and the library setting had some good vibes. I might give it another shot, but next time, I’ll order less and hope for a plot twist.

The bacon was cooked to perfection but I think the leaves in the toast had a very strong flavor for my liking, I would have liked it better without them. The waffle is ok, but too many sweet components and it’s too sweet to eat it all.

Hallesches Haus is one of my favorite places in Berlin. My colleagues and I go there for lunch quite often. Great food, amazing ambience. One small complaint I've about this place is a bit of mismanagement during lunch time. They're super busy. Therfore, they miss orders. The food is served very late too. But food is simply the best.

We got a table without a reservation after a short 5-minute wait, which was great. The service was excellent – very friendly and attentive. We both ordered decaf iced lattes, which were delicious. We also had the Eggs Benedict – they were good, though not the best I’ve ever had. I personally didn’t love the black cabbage salad that came with the bread, but that’s just a matter of taste. The location is bright and open with lots of natural light, and the overall vibe is really nice. I’d definitely come back – if only for the incredibly kind and welcoming staff!

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. - 3 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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
