My daughter, wife and I visited Hasir on a cold, damp Wednesday night in Berlin. A short walk from…read morethe Hackescher Markt S-Bahn station, one can easily find the place tucked in a courtyard off the main street. We were warmly greeted at the door and promptly shown to our table in the nicely decorated and inviting dining room. I'd say about half the tables were full this time of the night around 7pm. After introducing himself, our waiter quickly determined that our command of the German language was severely limited and switched to English. For drinks, I choose a Turkish beer, Efes, from a rather short list of beer choices (at least for Berlin standards), my wife went with a glass of Turkish red wine from a much more extensive list of wines and my daughter picked her usual soda. To start, we ordered hummus as we always do at a Turkish restaurant but found we had a choice of the standard version or one with bits of meat and other stuff in it. We choose the upgraded version as it was something different. Along with the hummus, we got a huge hunk of bread that was blown up like a balloon and very tasty. They also provided some small dishes of yogurt, cheese, tomatoes and butter along with the bread. While the hummus was good, I would probably go back to the tried and true version on a future visit. It was tasty and we enjoyed it but perhaps a bit too much for us. For our entrees, my daughter went with the bursa kebap with a yummy yogurt dollop that she thoroughly enjoyed. My wife choose a different kebap (sorry don't remember the name but check the picture) that was wrapped in a tortilla like shell and served with two kinds of yogurt that she loved. I went with my usual Adana kebap that was served with rice, fries and a small cuban salad. I could have done without the fries but they were fine. The kebap though was very well prepared and to my liking. I wished I had had saved some of the bread earlier to go with it but I instead stole some yogurt from the ladies' plates to spice it up a bit more. The grilled vegetables were a welcome treat as was the rice. The coban salad had a slightly sweet dressing to it that I found yummy but at this point I was running out of room and couldn't finish it. I would have preferred to have ben served the salad in advance of my main meal but that's not how they roll here. Service here was first rate. Our waiter was very attentive to our needs and helpful in suggesting items from the menu as well as describing them. The menu did have subtitles in English that made selecting even easier for us. There was a large group seated behind us (perhaps an engagement party?) that was at times loud but never bothersome and they added energy to the dining room. There looks to be a nice courtyard outside the main dining room but the weather this night was not condusive to outdoor dining. We would come back here in a heartbeat on a future visit to Berlin. The service was excellent, the prices reasonable and the food delicious.

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.

Best food we ate in Berlin! It's a bbq style Turkish restaurant! You have to make reservations!…read more Location: It is located along Hasenheide. The interior is ok but we were seated outdoor which is much better so the smoke of the food does not go to us. Service: Amazing staff! It's only 2 of them but they manage to take care of us while we dine in. Food: we ordered the set menu for 2. It includes 3 mezze, salad, mixed plate of meats, dessert and drinks. 3 Mezze that we choose are HUMUS: for real the best humus ive tasted! It has sesame seeds on top and it just divine! ROKALI HAYDARI: Oh this one is so creamy! It has feta cheese, yogurt, arugula and red peppers! Perfect for the bread. PASTIRMALI MANTAR its my least favorite, reminds me of eggplant lasagna, it was okay. The meats that are included on the set menu are lamb, chicken, marinated chicken and beef. They are all good cause we make sure we grill them good! The salad and rice that comes with the set menu is very tasty as well, we finish everything. Lastly for dessert we chose IRMIK HELVASI: it was the best dessert, im not sure what it is but the sweet sandy texture with the vanilla ice cream was so good! I can eat the whole thing!! Btw there is a side condiment that is really really good, not sure whats on it but sprinkle it to the meat and it will taste magnificent! Price rating: 8/10 its on the pricey side but its worth it because everything was good! We will definitely come back here when we are in Berlin! Good food, nice staffs and amazing ambience!

Yes....! There's…read morereally not much to say about Meyan, because in total honesty, what do you say about a place that seemingly has it all? I was looking for a vegan/vegetarian-friendly place to accommodate my special out of town guest, and Meyan more than delivered. The ambiance of the hole in the wall is beyond special. The colorful plates, eclectic cushions, and bright flowers create a cheery and joyful environment, which very well complements the nature of the food--the flavors are bright and bold, yet fresh and surprisingly light! We ordered the chicken salad, the hot eggplant signature dish, and 3 small sides of beetroot hummus, baba ganouj, and a carrot walnut spread. Needless to say, we were hungry. The chicken was battered with sesame seeds and, despite being fried, was extremely light and fragrant! The seeds paired beautifully with the slightly-sweet-yet-slightly-acidic housemade dressing. A beautiful salad that was beautifully portioned, dressed, and seasoned! Hurrah! The eggplant in the signature hot dish was sautéed with onions, tomatoes, paprika, and olive oil... A flavor bomb if you can imagine one... Deliciously satisfying and again, very well portioned. This dish, I believe, also came with a basket of house made bread! Put the words home made and bread together, and you can definitely count me in every single time. However, the star of the show? The spreads. If you can, try them all. I haven't had a bad time with one... If your stomach or resources are limited, here are my suggestions: If you like beetroot, the hummus is a must! Slightly sweeter than your classic chickpea hummus, this spread was divine on the nuttier bread! Speaking of divine, the carrot-walnut spread came in close as the overall favorite. It was slightly sweet, yet savory, and immensely texturally satisfying with the carrot and walnut chunks. The baba ganouj was your standard. With that being said, however, the standard at Meyan is set exceptionally high. It's quality. Meets quantity... The best of both worlds, really. There's really not much more to say... If you don't believe me, definitely swing on by to check it out for yourself!

I added so many pictures I had to write a review - finally, so…read more.. Short story: it's officially a best grill in town: best dorado, best prawns, best meat. Every dish is served with a generous portion of a fresh salad and hot bread. They have three types of soups: all of them taste very delicious. Beside all that they serve hot dishes, which vary from day to day, so menu is never the same. Great place! You can order every meat type as "a meat in bread" and it tastes so good! Eating here for 12 years. Never had a bad day there :-) Long story: I know everybody in here, because I'm going here for 12 years already. It's such a delicious grill place, I can't help it. I know it doesn't look very inviting from the outside, but you won't regret you stepped in once you've tasted their food. Grilled dorado - is the most popular dish in here. Fish is always fresh and tastes like heaven: soft and tender, crispy on the outside, served with arugula and lemon. Best fish I ever tasted! Meat variety is huge. You can order chicken, lamb, ribs, even leaver etc. All the meat is also grilled, served with rice and portion of salad as any other dish. Portions are really great. By the way, salad is incredible! I always wonder how they manage to get these sweet tomatoes every single time? Prawns. Well, that's a little secret, actually. They don't always show it on the display, so if you want to get a taste of those delicious prawns, you have to ask for them. They are grilled with a pinch of salt and served with arugula and a portion of salad - just as fish. I can only recommend those. When I was eating them, I imagined myself in Barcelona, in one of those amazing restaurants along the coast. But this is a different story :-) Resume: come inside, make yourself comfortable, order whenever your heart wishes for and enjoy these flavorful taste. You'll never regret you talked yourself into going here :-)

An absolutely superb upscale Turkish restaurant!…read more * * * Not all Turkish restaurants in Berlin are doner kebap places ... Although the ratio of doner kebap places to Turkish full service restaurants in Berlin is about 600:1. When you go full service, some of what you usually get is standard you-can-get-this-anywhere dishes such as hummus. You won't have that problem at Osman's Tochter (although they do serve hummus.) What Osman's Tochter puts on their table is amazing. * * * They claim all their dishes are mezzes. This is like a Spanish restaurant claiming all their dishes are tapas. Usually tapa/mezze places serve you small dinky little portions, So you have to buy a lot of plates and build the tab in order to eat well. Ozment's Tochter is actually the opposite. They deliver more food than you would expect from the menu. Both my wife and I found that ordering two plates was enough to keep us comfortably fed - with even a little left over for the table. No complaints from Samuel C - who believes eat big or don't eat at all. * * * Nearly every dish we had was stellar. I will just mention a few highlights. 1) Taramasalata is always good pretty much everywhere. Ozment's Tochter's taramasalata exceeds the high standards you would expect from taramasalata in general. Never has saltiness been put to better use. 2) Octopus is a high risk high pay off endeavor. When it is bad, it is fish-chewing-gum. When it is good, it is shellfish's answer to steak. The octopus at Ozment's Tochter is completely first rate. Their version comes in an elaborate stew. I was mopping up every last bit of juice with my bread. 3) They serve an elaborate halvah dessert with fruit compote and a lot of stuff on it. The cook would probably disagree with me - but I think every addition they make to the halvah makes it worse. Their homemade halvah is absolutely positively to die for. It is a not-to-miss dessert. If my mom tells me I have to eat my fruit before I can have my halvah, Okay, then, I will do it. I would do a LOT to get another dose of that halvah. 4) They do an addictively good shrimp in the shell. Sadly most of the flavor is on the shell, although the shrimp themselves are no slouch. Get used to the concept of swilling shrimp and shell together around your mouth. You will have to remove the shell politely with your napkin. Miss Manners will be watching you. 5) They serve a raki, Tekirsdag Gold, that is absolutely outstanding. Note that you can buy Tekirsdag Gold in most large German supermarkets. It is impossible to get in the U.S. but easy to get in Germany. That said - raki is a set up thing. You need the raki AND ice cubes AND a pitcher of water and the right size small glass - a small narrow glass just big enough to hold your shot of raki and one or two ice cubes. If you are staying in a hotel, you won't have that. I could do this at home because I have the tall handle-less cups the Japanese use for tea. That said, let Ozment's Tochter serve you your raki the right way. And trust me, you really do want the Tekirsdag Gold. 6) One note: Ozment's Tochter will make you rethink the pita bread you are used to. Ozment's will serve you one piece of bread regardless of how many dishes you order. They will be happy to bring you more but each new pita is two euros. Plus - their pide is a more like a crusty Italian roll than what we call a pita. It has no pocket just for starts. At first I was frustrated because we were out of bread relatively quickly. We were rationing the bread for prime uses. * Then I realized ... * That nearly everything I was eating was better WITHOUT the pide than with it. That even included the supersalty taramasalata - which is pretty strong stuff. The only thing I really really had to have bread for was mopping up octopus sauce. Seen that way, the restaurant giving you one and only one pide is a sign of advanced culinary judgement rather than some form of cheapness. The cook is asking you to break your standard habits concerning mezzes. The cook is right. Do what he or she says. * * * Overall, an absolutely outstanding Turkish restaurant. Granted if you were eating in Izmir itself, you would have a spectacular view of the Mediterranean while you ate. If you aren't in Izmir and you have no seaside view and no octopus straight off the boat, Ozment's Tochter is the next best thing.
