Hard to believe that this place gets enough business to stay open, but we are glad it is! We had dinner at around 6:30pm. Took my family there based on the reviews here and it didn't disappoint. I had the mixed grill plate and it was amazing. Highly recommend that if you want a place to grab a bite that is a bit different in the flavor profiles you might be used to, then give it a try. read more

You'll find this tiny restaurant tucked away with its 2 workers inside. The menu is reasonably short, simple and really all you need. However nothing really can explain the flavour guaranteed with each dish. Shared the falafel plate, Turkey kebab sticks and the chicken dish Malle. The turkey was some of the best I've ever tasted, incredibly succulent. How incredible, mixed with the full glass of Spanish red wine, and garlic bread the large portions really allowed us to enjoy to the full extent. Service personal and efficient, ambiance tranquil leaving a delightful aftertaste when you return to the streets of Berlin. 43€ for 1 appetizer, 2 mains, 2 glasses of red and a bottle of still water. For the taste and quality of food also means this is one winner of a restaurant! read more

This small restaurant serves some amazing food like I have not tasted anywhere. The place is kind of small but we went a little late on a weeknight and had no trouble finding a seat. Also, they only take cash so come prepared or run across the street to the atm. Let me get the average things out of the way. We started with hummus which was a little runny and bland for my taste (though we didn't leave any on the plate) and it came with some great toasted bread but there weren't enough of them. I got the falafel which ended up a little soggy because they were served with that hummus and more unnecessary sauce but they had nice flavor. Okay, now for the raves. Each dish was served with a great salad with an absolutely amazing dressing, citrus and sumac. I got the falafel plate which came with a crisp slice of haloumi, an amazing onion salad/relish (which sounds odd but was delicious), and two sauces in addition to the hummus. We also got the mixed grill which was amazing! Juicy chicken, tender steak, a piece of smokey sausage, something like kafta. The plate also came with salad, sauces, onion relish, bread and fried potatoes. I can't recommend the mixed grill plate enough. Service was polite and the drink list was extensive. There were only a few things that kept this from a five star review but I will definitely go back soon! read more

Very good middle eastern food at great value and with friendly service. We ate kebabs and falafel, very good! They offer larger and smaller plates to suit all amounts of hunger. read more

Order the appetizers as entree and you will be very happy. Wonderful mix of textures and flavors. Perfectly sublime. My BF ordered the chicken entree and was disappointed. It was over salted and the couscous was plain and boring. The hummus and falafel plates were some of the best I've had in my 51 years. read more

Top-notch food in Berlin. Small, cosy Mesopotamian (!) restaurant recommended by a friend. Walking distance from Berlin Hauptbahnhof, very local, hard to find just by coincidence. Mainly vegetables, amazing taste! Falafel plate with breaded halloumi cheese, salad, sesame-jogurt sauce rocks! So is breaded eggplant with zucchini, peppers and Tomatoes. But not only. They also have poultry, lamb and veal. Not mentioning baklava, which stuffs you completely. But it is worth it. I must be back to try more dishes. Preferably all of them :-) read more

Almost 5 stars, because the food was so delicious. We brought friends from Paris and even they were happy. Few vegetarian options, but they are probably all very good. The place is tiny so you may want to make a reservation. read more

Holla! Es gibt sie noch die kulinarischen Ueberraschungen! Eigentlich kam ich hier nur zufaellig vorbei, mein Blick blieb an der Karte haengen, hier ein Restaurant neu? mir nicht bekannt, sieht nett aus, also rein. Kleiner Raum, grosse Fenster, grosse Heiligenbildchen an den Waenden (eine Ausstellung, wie uns auf Nachfrage erklaert wurde). Ein paar Mittagsgerichte, die bei 3,50 Euro fuer eine Suppe anfangen, ueber eine gemischte Vorspeisenplatte fuer 6 Euro bis zu Lammdingsbums fuer 8 Euro. Da liess sich dann was finden. Vorab gab es eine Tasse Tee aufs Haus, voll war es nicht. Die Bedienung ausserordentlich nett, das Essen kam zuegig. Ich hatte eine Karotten-Orangen Suppe. Die allein war schon fast genug (fuer mich jedenfalls), dazu die Vorspeisen, die aus diversen Pasten, Hummus, Kichererbsenpuree usw. bestand. Plus ein paar Gurken- und Tomatenscheiben (die allerdings nach wenig schmeckten). Insgesamt konnte ich das alles nicht aufessen, es schmeckte aber alles frisch und lecker. Auch mein Kollege, der das Lamm ass, war happy! Alles in allem ein neues Restaurant in der Gegend, was noch etwas braucht, bis es jeden Mittag voll ist aber dann wundert Euch nicht, wenn man hier besser einen Tisch vorbestellt :-) read more

Wow! The high Yelp ratings are there for a reason. It's a tiny bit off the beaten bath, but is TOTALLY worth the extra walk. I'm pretty sure the lamb with plumb sauce thing I ordered is the best meal I've had in Berlin so far. Thank you Yelp...never would have found this place without you. read more

A small restaurant on Torstrasse that offers some dishes packed with flavour. It is a great lunch option if you are in the area, but be prepared to wait a bit on your food. They offer a small selection of changing dishes. I had some sautéed spinach with figs and olives. A great dish, will certainly go back there and try the other dishes. read more

Very cozy and tiny nice restaurant! The staff is super friendly and welcoming! The food took a bit long, but the staff gave 2 drinks for free for that and despite that the food was awesome! It was like home made 5 star food with a lot of different interesting spices and prepared from someone who definitely knows how to cook! Its mesopotanian kitchen and I highly recommend the yoghurt soup and the lamb! great experiece overall!! read more

Best value for money! Food is super tasty and portions are large, too bad they only have little seating inside.

Visited on a quiet Tuesday afternoon for an early dinner. The food was amazing and the whole vibe of the place made it even better. Quant, boutique and homely. I Recommend ! read more

There is not a single vegetarian meal on the menu. Just some appetizers. It's cold inside and loud, because the front door to the street was open all the time. There is only 1 toilet for guests and nearly no chance getting a parking lot there. Can't understand the positive feedback. read more

Best food we had in Berlin. The baklava was amazing! Wish we had come here sooner..

Cute place, nice and fast service... The food was fresh and tasty. Price value ratio very high... Worth a try and enjoy!

Good food and reasonably priced. Very small, hole-in-the wall type place that is easy to overlook if not careful. Friendly service. English menus if requested. The one warning is they only accept cash; fortunately I had enough euros on me. read more

The best middle eastern food I've had the pleasure to experience in Berlin! Incredibly tasty and friendly service.

Tried multiple plates, everything was very delicious, and the service is always friendly. Just some times they are very slow. I will come back for more. read more

The food tasted great, and looked amazing. But past that, the amount of feels this place generates you won't know until you go. So go. Most sure 5 star rating I have given in a while. read more

Really delicious food. We had the vegetables and filo wrapped cheese from the warm tapas type menu which were delicious, and came out hot and fresh. We initially ordered these dishes and then some mains but the waitress kindly informed us that the plates were quite big and that we should order fewer things and see how we go. It was refreshing to have somewhere that wasn't just trying to make money but seemed to care about your experience! We also had a mixed grill to share which was too much food for the 2 of us! But the food was expertly prepared, the marinade on the meat, particularly the chicken, was delicious. Don't be fooled by initial appearances, give this place a try! read more

Earlier reviews clued us in on this small restaurant and glad they did. I like to try new places when traveling while my companion is more reluctant. Both of us very much enjoyed. There was plenty of food and dishes were well prepared -- fresh ingredients, nice char to the grilled meats and vegetables. Felt like being invited to a home cooked meal. read more

This place has some of the best food I've ever eaten. My husband and I ate there every chance we got while in Berlin. It's great for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Also, much of the fantastic artwork on the walls is created by the chef. read more

First time in Berlin and this was our first meal. The next has a very high bar to reach to match Marral Cafe. Outdoor seating was clean, quiet and candle -lit after dark. The falafel appetizer was the perfect mini-meal while we waited for our dinner companion. w salad and hummus accompanying 4 small round falafel, and a pastry wrapped delicious morsel served w delicious bread, it was very satisfying. The English menu was descriptive. We chose to share the grilled plate and chicken skewers among the 3 of us. We still went home leftovers. The grilled plate had delicious meat w grilled pear and apple and tomato w onion relish,hummus, couscous. The English-shy server brought more of the delicious salad topped w a finely grated cheese and spice I didn't recognize. She was quiet, kind and helpful but not comfortable speaking English. This didn't diminish our experience at all. Unfortunately we were the only diners there after 21.30 so they closed when we left at about 22.30. This cafe is best for groups of 4 or 5. read more
