What's the first thing I do in Berlin when I arrive from the airport? I go to Café Aliyah! I would say this is not your typical hookah lounge. So if you're looking for delicious food, some good shisha, and did I say damn delicious food(?) then you have to dine here!
This is probably the only place other than my own mothers cooking where I felt the taste was close enough to home. I always order the same items. Either the chicken rice, or the chicken mushroom pasta which is usually what they have on the lunch special for years (5€ and comes with a drink!)
Service is usually really good, and I don't have many complaints on that. I've been here about 4-5 times, and mostly for lunch but the occasional night if I have time in town. You could expect it to get busy on a Friday or Saturday night where tables are reserved. So, if you plan to go on a busy night, be sure to make a reservation.
You've also got outside seating where during the cool summer could be tough because of the bees, and during winter they'll warm it up with covers and heaters. Cozy place! read more
