I don't know how anyone could give this place less than 5 stars; if I could give it 6, I would…read more First: the food is absolutely delightful. There are tons of options, including many vegetarian ones, and I have yet to try a dish that wasn't beautifully made, with balanced, light flavors. There are lots of beans, lentils, vegetables, yogurt-based sauces, olives, cheeses, stews, bread, tea, three or four variety of starchs--rice, couscous, bulgur, etc-, burek, fried stuff, baked stuff, boiled stuff.... Sometimes, if I need to eat one meal in a day, I'll go here. Second: the people that work here come from various places--Turkey, Lebanon, Germany, Cuba...ALL of them (that I've met) are friendly, generous, and welcoming (and patient as I point at the different foods to pile my plate with!). The atmosphere of the restaurant is awesome: a clean, simple yet warm vibe, classical music playing, and a back room where you can look onto the back yard. Third: you are getting ALL of this for either 7 or 9 Euro. I come from NYC, where one can easily--and in fact often does--pay twice that amount for food half as good. SUPPORT places like this, that offer lovingly made, healthy, delicious food for good prices....this is my favorite restaurant BY FAR in the neighborhood, and there are many other good ones here. I've brought about 4 friends here and all of them have been blown away...one even told me the next day, "dude, I can't stop thinking about that restaurant!".

We walk into Auszeit after a pretty lazy search to find a place for dinner our last night in…read moreBerlin. We passed this place just about every time we walked to and fro our airbnb, and it looked cute and was almost always busy, so we gave it a shot. An older man, presumably the owner, greeted us. He didn't speak much English; we spoke no German. So in a game of charades, we managed to get seated and order a pitcher of still water. So far so good. He handed us menus that thank you jebus had English subtitles,and I quickly settled on a risotto dish with beets and veggies that sounded right up my alley, in addition to the antipasti appetizer tray we decided to start with. After placing our order, I watched as our waiter moved from table to table and realized he was the only worker in the place. It was a relatively small restaurant, maybe 10 or 12 tables between the inside and the outside, but one guy for the whole place? yikes. He brought our water quickly and took our order in good time, so I thought that maybe he's just super fast and a rock star waiter and handling the whole place by his lonesome is no biggie? And then he walked out the front door.... and I watched him pass all the outside tables... and turn a corner... and not come back. Did he just drop the mic and up and quit? Is he coming back? Is there anyone else here to bring me food, because I'm pretty hungry? A good 10 minutes later, he shows up. He resumes his work. He brought us out our appetizer, which was a tray of grape leaves, some seafood which I cant recall because I did not eat, roasted veggies, olives, cheeses, etc. It was good to okay. We had something similar a few days prior in Fuessen that was freaking magical, so it was impossible not to compare the two and I think that sandbagged my feelings a bit. We finished the tray and I saw the server walking in our direction, seemingly to pick up the empty plate. But he kept walking... all the way out the door. I watched just as I had the first time, as he left the building, passed by the diners outside, and then turn the corner out of sight. Whaaaat is going on. Long story short, this happened one more time, totaling 3 times that he just left the place unattended for 10-15 a piece. I could hear the bells from the kitchen as they completed plates to be brought out to hungry eaters. I watched as fellow diners looked around in curious frustration, waiting to get their meals or their wine or their check. It took over an hour and 15 minutes for us to get our entrees. And was it worth the wait? Not, unfortunately. My risotto was lacking something. Flavor mostly. I had to add salt to the dish just to get some kind of taste to it, and I never do that. The food was bland, the service was partially non existent and the price was too high for what we got.

When walking in the restaurant was fairly small and a bit run down. The staff were okay, nothing amazing. This place is definitely more of a fast casual place than a sit down place.

The portions were decent size for both and everything was cooked well for the most part. The sauces were great, and the lamb was tender and full of flavor. The chicken however was only okay. It was a bit burnt and hard for me and the flavor was pretty average. The plates also came with some bread as well. Overall decent but nothing amazing.

But what made it worth while is that the place looked like some old school place in Turkey that was trapped in time. The waiter was old classy guy who had what I thought was a really kind grandfatherly face, and even through we came early and the place was empty I truly felt like i was in a nice restaurant in Istanbul in the late 90s or something. Not Hip, which somehow is a relief in Berlin. Nice place to take parents. Planning to come here again when my mom visits.
