The server noticed we were exhausted travelers who had just gotten off the plane and were desperate for something vegan, so they made an exception and cooked for us..

The service was exceptional. We really enjoyed the house wine, bacon wrapped prunes, obadtzda, a salad, and one of the thin "German pizzas" they serve. The atmosphere is very casual and the setting is beautiful. They do take reservations over the phone, which is likely advisable given how busy the place was. Be sure to ask for outside seating if the weather is suitable. Also keep in mind this is a cash only establishment.

This place was quite an unpleasant surprise. Although we had passed by it often, living quite…read morenearby, we hadn't tried it out. On a sunny day, we saw seats outside and decided to try it out for lunch. We had some wine, a pizza and noodles with gorgonzola and bacon. First and foremost, the prices here are a joke. I live in the area so I know it's not cheap around here. At the same time, the prices here are higher than everywhere around and the portions are smaller. The pizza is a decent size but they forgot one of the ingredients. Further, it was thin-crust but mushy and wet. Nothing crunchy or appealing about this dish. The noodles were bland and I think I counted about 15 pieces (in total) of penne. This as a main course and for something like 12 Euros. The pizza for somewhere in the vicinity of 15 Euro for the "large" was ridiculous. The wine, also not cheap, was OK but nothing more. Finally, service was a joke. Slow is an understatement. Disinterested and unprofessional fits the bill. So, why two stars? Well, I really like the decor inside. It is well styled. Further, it's a nice location and if you are only coming in for a couple glasses of wine, fine. I'll give them two stars for deco and location. Otherwise, everything else is a joke. Finally, you better like snobs. The place is usually full of your usual Eppendorfer clowns. Pinks, greens, animal prints, silicon lips, LV bags and so forth. I can usually drown them out and mostly find them amusing decoration for a place. They entertain me well but I know enough people who would gag at their sight and here you don't have to wait long for the "show" to begin.

I prefer sitting outside in the warmer months and having a glass of wine or coffee. It's kind of a place to go for a quick stop. In the winter, I find the interior really tight when the restaurant is full but it's stylish. Others have written this already but don't go here if you're not into the gliterrati of Eppendorf hanging out. I can easily ignore them and find them entertaining, albeit oftentimes too loud. Everyone wants to be "most important". Whatever, these are all trust-fund babies or advertising drones and they never change wherever you are. The food is mediocre at best but there are some highlights. The place is not consistent which is probably the biggest complaint about their food. The prices are also steep for what you get. I recently had a seafood mix which was I believe 21 Euro. It was horribly small in regards to portion size and was bearable. I've had so much better seafood in my life. The mussels in the dish were the smallest I've seen in a long time. The fish was also off somehow.....I just couldn't put my finger on what it was that threw it off. On the other hand, my g/f was impressed with her penne dish and we both do regularly get the Caesar salad, which actually is more like a chicken-teriyaki salad. Oh well, this is Mars Bar. It's usually like this and you go here knowing what you're going to get. At least the crowd is consistent. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. It's a fun place to "stop in" if you're in the area or live nearby as I do. It's definitely not a destination restaurant where you make an effort to go out of your way and reserve a table. Of course, if you want to show off your Porsche, Ferrari, or Lambo, you can park it right out front and there are a lot of windows so that everyone WILL see that it's you. If you feel ignored, rev the engine a couple times......it's usually loud inside.

"Lebensmittelvergiftung bekommen im Maral" "Leider entsprach…read moreder gestrige Besuch im Restaurant Maral nicht dem gewohnten Standard. Die Qualität der Speisen (Tom Kha Gai, Sushi, Bowl) war deutlich hinter dem bisher erwarteten Niveau. Die Suppe wirkte geschmacklich unausgewogen und wenig gewürzt; Sushi/Bowl entsprachen ebenfalls nicht den gewohnten Ansprüchen. Zudem erschien der Service unausgeglichen, und nach dem Verzehr traten Beschwerden auf, weshalb der Verdacht einer lebensmittelbedingten Erkrankung besteht. Dies hat sich nun auch leider bestätigt. Ich hoffe, dass das Team Hygienemaßnahmen und Arbeitsprozesse überprüft und entsprechende Verbesserungen vornimmt."
