I am not quite sure what the difference between homey Turkish food and what is not. I am going to…read moreassume homey entails more focus on the food and ingredients rather than the presentation and other things. One glance at this place and it certainly looks homey if not rather like a one pot, buffet, fast food kind of style. There was counter full of prepared food in the back and you can pick and choose your meal from thy selection. No there's nothing created here a la minute but the price kind of reflects that. While I can't comment on the authenticity of the food, I can say without a doubt it is tasty...for the most part. Everything does indeed taste "homey" as every dish is sort of a mis-mash of different vegetables and meats in a consistent sauce. By that I mean most of the dishes have similar sauces a tastes quite similar despite it having different ingredients. The rice is a nicely prepared with fantastic texture and just the right amount of squeakiness to them all the while still soft and pillowy. The chicken is sightly dry but very nicely compensated with the great sauce that it's bathed in. Sadly this meal wasn't quite as memorable as I had hope for. Unlike the Turkish cuisines I have had in the past there wasn't one or more dishes I would recommend of you must order. Everything tastes good -- like a every day good kind of meal mom used to prepare.

We actually went out of our way to find this place. We'd heard that the Turkish food in Berlin was…read morefantastic and this restaurant had good reviews, so we came here for lunch. We were not disappointed! The waiter/owner(?) was very pleasant. He did not speak English, but with the help of a lady sitting next to us, we ordered exactly what we wanted. (By the way, they do have menus; you have to ask for them.) My husband and I each got a hefeweizen--0,5 liters, which was a bit too much for me, but oh well. My husband got the lamb kabob and I got the beef patties. Each plate came with salad, rice, vegetables, and condiments. The lamb came with grilled bread. The meats were juicy and flavorful. The rice pilaf was excellent: fluffy and well seasoned. And the yogurt sauce... So good! We ended the meal with espresso and Turkish black tea. It was a lot of food, so I don't think we'll be hungry again for awhile. Whether you are in the neighborhood or make a special trip, this restaurant is definitely worth a look!

Oh wow, Berlin is know for its an international city filled with immigrants, amazing architecture,…read moreunbelievable history, delish chocolates, but one hidden secret is their amazing Turkish food. It's at times better than Istanbul. It's a very much hole in the wall and I didn't expect much because it had small reviews. Let me say, this is probably one of the tastiest and juiciest restaurants in Berlin right now. Once you enter in, a tall lanky man makes eye contact but doesn't speak a word. The service was always great and the food arrived on time. Every time you ordered he would just nod his head and the food would arrive. Let's start with the basics, the hummus was silky drenched in smooth olive oil with fresh chickpeas on top. It's so fresh that it would melt in your mouth. That combination with the fresh soft crisp bread is heaven. Service was impeccable. Food was grilled fresh from the start and we had the juiciest of kabobs. Your taste buds will go on over drive! Oh my god, we got the Ali Nazek plate. Without a doubt one of the best kabob dishes on the western hemisphere. It's minced Lamb meat,on top of olive oil, yogurt and garlic. At first I said, what a strange combination, But oh my god what a delish combination. The food, the fresh made bread, the hummus all melted in our mouth. The freshness of the ingredient is unparalleled here. My partner ordered the pilic sis kabop which are delightful lite chicken cubes which complemented the lamb. For desert, some nice Turkish tea and coffee with a thin crispy wafered Baklava. This might be your new favorite Turkish addiction in town!!

Though the menu is quite limited but it is more than adequate for a light lunch or early evening supper. On my first visit I had the lamb Manti with yoghurt spicy oil. It was delish, the Manti were large and the wrappers were like silk which melted in your mouth. It was piping hot contrasted by layer of yoghurt. I was already looking forward to having this again... Unfortunately on my second visit, I chose the potato Manti which were also quite tasty but lukewarm. It was I admit a very cold day and they just opened and it was quite cold inside, which resulted in me wearing my bobble hat inside. The waiter was so sweet he gave me a complimentary Revani and Tea to warm the cockles of my heart. They had just opened and it was quite cold inside. My lunch companion was very pleased with his Gözleme which came with a nice little selection of Meze. They offer a variety of delicious fillings and you can actually watch this being prepared. I found the tea much nicer than the Turkish Mokka, which I found a bit on the watery side, I like mine with a much creamier texture. It's nice to sit outside on a sunny day. The inside is comfortable but don't expect anything too glamorous, Just bear in mind that this is not a full on restaurant, in case you are expecting a huge choice of Turkish cuisine. Prices are very reasonable
