Anastasia is quite a nice Russian restaurant in Samariterkiez in Friedrichshain. Overall it has…read morehearty and tasty food, a very friendly staff, and a nice ambiance. Worth a visit. The lunch and dinner menu feature a variety of typically Russian fare, including blinis, pelmenis, Russian salad, and others. They also have a daily menu with salads, portions of pasta, and other small dishes. The prices are not cheap - it's easy to spend more than 10€/person on food, which Berlin is rather on the expensive side. But the uniqueness and taste make it well worth it. An additional bonus is the wide number of drinks and teas on offer. The staff is friendly and normally attentive, although a couple of times that we have been there, we have had to seek out the staff if we have additional requests. But honestly in Berlin that's not abnormal. Recommended!!

The food was more than reasonably priced for the large portions. I give this place a 5 star rating because it truly deserves it. Finding good authentic German food in Berlin is not very difficult, but if you do not enjoy pork, or also prefer a vegetarian option every once in a while, it becomes quite a challenge. This place has both: great vegetarian dishes and plenty of meat options without pork. The best thing of all-I can still call this food 'traditional' German food. The service was friendly, on point and professional (hard to find in Berlin), the food was interesting, fresh, delicious and it made me want to come back to explore more of the menu.

A quaint little restaurant with a nice outdoor patio and a daily rotating lunch menu…read more Nothing is certain but the drinks menu, so each visit to Lorberth is something of a surprise. Their website advertises a two-course lunch for 6.90 EUR, including a light starter (like a soup) and a hearty main. On my visit the starter was (best described as) an Italian gazpacho, thick and chunky and very flavorful. Great with the complimentary bread. For my main, I had a spaghetti with fresh garden vegetables. Everything was delicious. The whole place has a great ambiance and the service is very friendly. The rotating menu also has a variety of salads and small plates, which split 50/50 of being more or less expensive than the two-course lunch. A meal for one should fall somewhere between 10-18 EUR.

Is this the best falalfel in Berlin? Sorry, but no. Is it still tasty? Yes, of course. I got the…read morefalafel and hummus in bread, and it was a solid meal, though I feel they were slightly stingy with the hummus, as I didn't taste much of it. The wraps they use are great though--a nice change from the döner bread that a lot of places serve. And they are super crispy from being heated up, which I love. The inside is small and not full of much atmosphere, but there are tables outside, making it a great place to stop for a bite in the warmer months. And it's inexpensive too.

What was even worse than the food was the absolutely HORRIBLE service. Hands down the worst service I've ever experienced at a restaurant. Never offered refills of water or additional glasses of wine. We had to track down the waitress to order and then had to get up and track her down again to get the bill so we could pay, leave and get better food elsewhere. It was very drab... worn down inside and very outdated. I also found it way too expensive given the bad experience. Do yourself a favor and skip this place altogether.
