Baraka is a phenomenal experience that brings you amazing food in a beautifully decorated spot. We tried the Tagine platter for two, which came with a lot of little tasting dishes so that we had a chance to experience a variety of tastes and combinations while enjoying the main star of the day : The lamb Tagine, which was TO DIE FOR. The service was attentive and fast, and the prices are fair for the amount and quality of food that you get. Just incredible! read more

Our group was at Markt Halle Neun which is a fun experience but not very suitable for a relaxed sit down dinner so we came to Baraka which was close by. Solid Moroccan cuisine with a very hospitable staff. We had a wonderful meal! read more

At first glance Baraka seems to be an amalgamation of Moroccan, Egyptian and Arabian food. But when your entree comes, only one word can describe their cuisine: delicious. It was a warm night so we opted to sit outside. A thirst quenching limeade and a creamy mango lassi prepared our taste buds for what was to come. A bowl of Harira, a traditional soup served during Ramadan, balances the mix of lentils, chickpeas, tomatoes and herbs. A little bit of lemon juice brings out the fresh flavors and the endless basket of Khobz is there to sop up the remainders. Portion size is a great value for your money! The mix plate of grilled chicken, hummus, tabouleh, baba ghanoush and a small salad is what your body needs after an afternoon of errands in the city. My tajine was highly satisfying with tender chicken thighs simmered in tomatoes, olives, spices and lemon. I ate it all with gusto and licked my plate (and his!) clean. Friendly service is apparently a rarity in Berlin, but that wasn't the case with our waitress. Smiling, attentive and pleasant. We'll make Baraka our regular stop every time we're here. read more

I was here during my vacation to Berlin. I absolutely loved the food. Not sure if how authentic it is because it was my first time trying this type of cuisine. Good quantity. Really would recommend. read more

Baraka is an excellent choice in the Kreuzberg neighborhood for Middle Eastern / Egyptian food. I usually stop by here at least once when I'm in the city. Great food, nice interior, and good service! Pro's: - creative interior (cloudesque ceilings) and authentic furniture (low tables, chairs, and sofas) - tapas-style food that comes in dozens of small bowls - main dishes are usually served with bread on the side and hummus - good food quality, inexpensive ... great value for money Con's: - furniture needs some overhaul There is also a takeaway window in case you want to grab a Shawarma to go. I usually sit down and get something grilled (lamb or chicken) with rice and several sides (hummus, vegetables, beans). I like the variety of dishes and drinks (try the Mango Lassi). If you're in the mood for Middle Eastern - this is your place! read more

Baraka - Chicken and Lamb mixed plate for 3 - Moroccan Near Me - Berlin, BE

Awesome food, I drive long distances to eat here. My favorites are the meat balls and falafel. Their spiced tea is very tasty and I go for it even when it's 35°C outside. Very friendly staff, the men may not be that smiley but they are extremely polite and they sure know their work. The beverages as well as the food have gotten a bit expensive in the last few years though, the portions on the other hand have gotten smaller. Also, after what I know from traveling and my friend who is an Arabic-speaking Middle East expert, it's a bit hard to really call it "Moroccan" though. Sometimes too crowded and it can get loud at times, up to the point that it can be harmful to health. The place seems to be very popular among American tourists. Once we found ourselves sitting between three or four groups of Americans and for the next few days I couldn't for the life of me get rid of that nasal sound out of my head, my friends had reported the same discomfort plus one of my friends reported blood coming out of her ears, and I'm not sure she was being sarcastic. read more

Wanted to try the legendary falafel in Berlin which along with Pretzels and sausages it's one of the best foods the city has to offer. After so many choices I'm glad I went with this one, amazing falafel, small plate starters and a lounge area where you can sit on the floor! Oh and there's also shisha. read more

Baraka - Vegetarian starter for 2 - Moroccan Near Me - Berlin, BE

Good food, reasonable prices, immersive atmosphere, and really welcoming staff make Baraka worth a visit.

Sehr lecker, super bedienung einfach nur top de laden

Baraka - you are truly wonderful. My German teacher said this was her favorite restaurant so I went with a friend one night for dinner. I knew the restaurant was promising since it is in Kreuzberg, which has such a fusion of all different cultures. We entered the small corner eatery and walked to the back where we found a room filled with floor cushions and low tables. MAKE NOTE: you have to take your shoes off before entering the area (don't make the same mistake I did). Our friendly waiter came over and I asked him, in my best German possible, what he recommended and he said the vegetarian couscous - so I took his advice. The couscous was fantastic and the dish combined with the unique decor/atmosphere made it a perfect choice. I would recommend Baraka to anyone who likes to try all different kinds of cuisines and wants a change of pace. read more

Located few steps away from Görlitzer bahnhof, so it is a perfect place to load your belly before hitting the clubs and bars in the area. Love the salad variation (Meza) for 2 here....you get a taste of everything, and the price of 16 EUR is more than fair. The service is super quick, and the staff is friendly. the exaggerated decoration is not everyone's cup of tea, but it has something cute about it. I was hesitating on giving 5 stars, but well, the taste of the food is good, but I have tasted better (Alhamra, Qadmous)..... read more

Very fresh homemade falafel, makali and all the other eastern goods. Lots of seats to eat in or take out a sandwich. Try the parsley salad or just go for a mixed platter. There is plenty for 2 read more

An excellent inexpensive middle-eastern (I think mainly Egyptian) restaurant.You can get a tapas-like platter to share with a table of friends, either vegetarian or deliciously meat-filled. I can't remember what this was called, but it was excellent. A great place to go with a group of friends on a warm Berlin night. read more

Great food, wonderful for large groups. Affordable and filling- and everyone can find something that they like.

I give this 4 stars because the service was really good and fast and also because I don't really know what Moroccan food is supposed to taste like -- but I should say that the vegetarian dishes were extremely bland which made me wonder if this is just toned way down for German non-adventurous palettes. That cinnamon rose water tea is dope though! read more

The decor of Baraka seem slightly exaggerated (to say the least) so at first glance, you might feel that the authenticity of the restaurant might be somewhat artificial. But look beyond the plaster stalactite ceiling and you will embark on a genuine and great experience in food and service. If you are a minimum of two people dining, I can highly recommend their platter with meat (a mix of nine specialities served in individual bowls on a large Moroccan tray). The serving consist of various traditional dishes such as baba ganoush, falafel, hummus etc. the latter was not particular good in my opinion. It had a slightly odd egg-like taste, which I personally do not associate with a classic hummus. The falafel however was impeccable -- the best one I have ever had. At € 16 you are truly in for a bargain for such a large dish, a very cheap but delicious meal for two people. And with such a polite and service minded staff as this, I am certain you will have just as great a dining experience as we had (beyond standard service and interest in our experience they also arranged a taxi pick-up for us, and fetched us at our table, when the car arrived outside). Note: We dined late at a Saturday evening, where the restaurant does not close until 01 am -- if you are looking for activities in the nearby area, you can have a drink and play a game of bowling on a neat set of vintage lanes at Tante Lisbeth, which is close by. The lanes are open until 10pm, and it is a good idea to book them up front. read more

I went at 11 and they were out of doner so I had the kofta plate. Kofta was okay, the portions are generous, the service is excellent, and the cups of hot tea was very well appreciated. read more

I've been here 3 times. The first time was with my best friend and we were eating some dinner before heading to a party later on, we ordered a tablett for 2 people which is like a tray with lots of bowls of food on and you share. It was pretty good, we headed to the party feeling full and happy but then we both got pretty bad stomachs at the same time at the same WG party, with only one toilet. Terrible situation but there you are, I left for my own toilet at home. The next time I was with some other friends and they suggested it, i forgot about the party incident and went with it and once again we all got sick after sharing a tablett. I remembered the previous incident and vowed never to go there again. Today with my job we went for a quick team lunch, and my boss took us here. I really didnt want to appear negative and i didnt really have a better place in mind so i stuck with it and ordered a tagine instead, hoping the diarrhea was specific to the tabletts. I was totally wrong and once again spent hours at home on the toilet when i should have been elsewhere! Everyone in my team got sick too, im not quite sure what it is theyre putting in this food but its really not healthy. With the foot washing comment below im just so grossed out. The food is tasty enough and the service is fine but honestly, not much can repair their reputation with me after that. read more

Really amazing!! Despite not having a reservation we still got a table. It is a really cozy place! The atmosphere is great and lovely. The service is absolutely friendly and it didn't take long until we got our food. The menu itself is a bit pricy but nonetheless it is absolutely worth it!! read more

So first of all, my first visit there was on my friends bday. We got a reservation for 22 People and everyone was very excited to eat Egyptian and arabic food ( and a cake afterwards). I admit its a beautitul location and atmosphere, even if the smell of the candles or air freshener was too strong.. As we sat at our table we were looking through the menu but even before we had the chance to order some coca cola- we got 4 big plates with some weird rice (middle bowl), 3 different hummus types ( Mazza in little bowls), arabic beans (middle bowl), 4 pieces of halloumi, 4 pieces of falafel and something that kind of tasted like salat but wasnt. Now imagine us being very hungry and moody because we had to wait 40 minutes to order sth in addition to that it was ramadan (!) but get a big plate with little different types of food we've never tasted? I mean we wanted to eat there because we've already tasted kind of everything thats arabic food and didnt risk anything.. BUT we wanted to eat specific food there ! One of my friends parents even got married there a long time ago ! I was really disappointed to not eat aything at all but bread. Wait it gets better ! We had to pay 12 Euro ! Whatever I wanted to give them a chance and went there last thursday with my cousins. I was happy to finally eat what I wanted to eat on my friends bday but couldnt. I ordered a plate with halloumi, falafel, some hummus and a little bit of salat . It costs ca 7 Euro + coca cola 3 Euro Well after I ate my last halloumi and finished the half of my salad and was about to scoop another spoon full of salad and bit on it - I felt sth strange - a hair was in my mouth ! And oh no wonder the cook had shoulder length black hair ( I have middle lenght brown hair ) . I took the hair out of my mouth - too disgusted to say anything-, put my money ( the right amount for everything we had to eat) on the table and left. I swore that I would never eat there again. Afterwards I went home and could not eat anything at all for the whole day . read more

Great food good setting. Good for groups of friends. Tajines were well spiced and served with couscous. Juice options were a plenty. No beer or alcohol, but a shop is just nearby. Service was quite good, but they seemed to allow beggars to mill through the our toot seating and approach every table. read more

Been one of my favorite places, since they raise the prices to ridiculous range I don't go, esp. the drinks. They got no idea concerning allergies and so on. read more

I was very disappointed. So far I have experienced not may good places for this kind of food in germany. We had the pattern and it looked great and the service was friendly. However the tast of most dishes was way below what i know from the restaurants in London or the middle east. read more

We loved this restaurant. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, yet provided value for money, and the service was near perfect. For travellers like us the platter for four was ideal and they provided us with four different desserts so we could swap and share. They were all wonderful. read more

Always nice to find a restaurant you can tell locals love. Really cool looking restaurant inside. This place was packed when my friend and I arrived in Berlin. Since we didn't have a reservation, they were only able to seat us under the premise that we leave at a certain time (left with 1hr to eat). This was no problem for us but service was a little slow that night. Our order wasn't taken until 20 minutes of waiting but food arrived immediately. My friend had a couscous dish that he said was not very tasty- lacked any spices or flavor. I got a shawarma platter that I truly enjoyed... i mean the platter was huge and I finished most of it. read more

Had a terrible experience there last night. Paid 10 € for food that's not worth more than 1.5 €. The waiters refused to cooperate or show any type of courtesy even though we were more than 30 guests. Can't believe the restaurant lost so many customers at once although we made a reservation. read more

Tolles Essen und eine lebendige aber dennoch gemütliche Ecke zum draußen Sitzen. Der Preis stimmt vor allen Ding. Grad für 12EUR können zwei Leute sich von richtigen guten Gerichten absolut satt fressen. Dann noch 2EUR für einen leckeren frischgepressten Saft macht etwa 8EUR pro Nase. Was will man mehr? Hier wird keinen Alkohol serviert also der Durchschnitts-Xberger/Touri wird sich hier nicht lange nach dem Essen aufhalten. Sprich: ein toller Laden, um mit dem Abend anzufangen, und es gibt immer schnell wieder einen freien Tisch. Immer wieder gerne! read more

decent moroccan place in kreuzberg. one room looks like the inside of a cave, which is either quaint or tacky depending on your tastethe other room is quite regular. food did not stand out at all to me but it was decent. emphasis on vegetarian dishes. note: i believe they do not have an alcohol license. i could be wrong as i haven't been there in a while, but this is my recollection. read more

great place, great food! very genuine interior and cuisine. while not vast the menu offers a good selection. there's a carpeted section in which it's required to take off one's shoes and sit on the floor. the large pillows extend a tacit invitation to lay back after a large meal and lose track of time. read more

Super leckeres essen! Zu empfehlen ist der gemischtes Teller!

Lovely place. Especially loved the large area with cushions and pillows where you can sit and dine on the floor. We had the mixed plate for two, with meat. And it was very very nice. Only the service is terribly slow. It took us about half an hour to get the waiter's attention so we could order some more bread. He was terribly busy. Other than that i really enjoyed my visit here. It's so nice and cozy, very low key but the food is delicious. I can recommend the köfte, the falafel, the lamb.. Everything i tried basically. read more

I have been there today, there is no one there to meet you when you enter the Restaurant, finally there was a man who said without a hint of smile,that we can´t sit in the quite room without a Reservation,its ok for us,but the way HOW HE SAID it,unfriendly. The food was good, the arabic coffee was a disaster, i have changed 2 times,still they could not make it properly.They do not even ask you if you want it sweet or half sweet or without sugar.My Mokka came as syrope, i could not drink it,they changed it and brought me 2nd Mokka full of coffee powder,the spoon was almost Standing in that Little mokka Cup,because the was almost no liquid.They charged me for that coffee i never drunk 3 EUR ! I would not drive there to eat again,does not wort it. Plus you can´t breath there,the air is full of smoke of grilled Kebab I lived in Egypt and have been to Marocco,you can´t compare.( fot the People who does not know what the real oriental Food is,the place will be OK). read more
