I came to Zweistrom's for a much needed late-night snack. It was a Saturday night and the…read moreneighborhood was vibing! I ordered the falafel wrap. The falafels were fried to order, which I appreciate. After the falafels were ready, the gentleman working put them in a wrap and then went to the bar of vegetables and toppings in front of me. He added hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and I think a spicy mustard. After he finished stuffing the wrap, he rolled it up and placed it on a grill press for a few minutes. My falafel wrap was delicious and full of flavors and textures! Starting with crunchy! It had a big crunch from the grilled wrap. Then I got the added crunch from the falafel. It was then followed by the smooth and savory hummus. The vegetables were a perfect addition. Extra: Vegan options Open late - 3 am! A few seats inside Outdoor seating available It was authentic, inexpensive, fresh, fast, and they were open late! My falafel wrap was the best late night snack that didn't make me feel guilty or bloated the next day. Also, the service was good too! The gentleman working was kind and had great energy. We chatted for a little, it was really nice. I wish him the best of luck. If you're in the area, I highly suggest stopping by.

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!".

Although bear in mind there is not a whole lot of space to sit.

This gem of a restaurant in the usually upscale "Mitte" district of Berlin offers a business lunch that lasts until 3pm instead of just 2pm, so you can take your time and enjoy a late lunch break. It also offers a legendary Sunday brunch which is the only exception because it's always full and you definitely have to book in advance, but you won't regret it. The entrance is not in immediate view because there's a construction site next to the restaurant, which is always quiet whenever I visit, but don't let that fool you. Right behind it is an empty space overlooking the water where you can enjoy the summer. You know what? Just go there. You'll see!

I was dining solo after a sleepless overnight flight from JFK. It was early, around 5pm, and I started with the lemonada, a non-alcoholic and frozen blended drink with mint. Tasty. I also had the Moroccan mint green tea as well. For dinner, I had the chef's sampler with six small plate appetizers of his/her/their choice. All were quite good, several were sprinkled with pomegranate seeds, and the felafel, hummus, yogurt, and another eggplant mix (not baba ghannoush, I know that that is!) were standouts. The portion size is very fair for the prices: my whole dinner My only complaints are that the pitas were cold and dry and really should be made fresh, service was missong throughout the meal, and the background music kept starting and restarting, which was mildly annoying.

This spectacularly located, wonderfully set Greek eatery is the perfect establishment to spending an evening with your SO or enjoy a meal with a friend. Through the candle light you can read the menu and salivate over any number of the Taverne's mouthwatering entrees and appetizers. While I pondered seemingly forever over the options, I eventually settled on souvlaki with gyros in tzatziki sauce with a side of roasted Greek potatoes. If such a meal is possible in this mortal world of ours, I don't need to experience a meal in Heaven. To accompany my meal I went with a refreshing pint of the banana hefeweizen. Definitely recommended. After the meal, do yourself a favor and don't skimp on the desert. The chocolate lava soufflé with ice cream will send you off right. The staff is superb and efficient so be sure to tip generously as you take your leave and dream of the next occasion you have to frequent this glorious place!

We walked in and got seated immediately. Looking through the menu, I realized, to my dismay, this restaurant didn't serve what I was looking for. Whatever, I was hungry, and we both wound up ordering the menu item closest to the Doener Kebab. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it's called, but it's very similar to a gyro, but instead of pita, the fillings are wrapped in their bread that's baked in a tandoori oven (Tandur Brot). The filling...omg, it was DELICIOUS. At first, I thought it was so good because I was hungry. Nope, whatever combination of spices they use to flavor the meat is a wonderful one. Every single bite was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and well-balanced with the lettuce, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes wrapped into what looked like a super-skinny burrito/taco. Cost including a bottle of water? About 5 euros. Good deal and am totally coming back here when I go and visit Berlin again.

They got this lunch special offers, it's different everyday. That's kinda nice. If you didn't find anything on the special offers, there are still some other thing on the menu which cost around the same price. I went there as a big group, around 7-10 people. We made the reservation before. That's why we could have a decent table at the lunch break. I ordered that grill chicken leg. It was quite good. And they gave me a soup for appetiser. I got no idea what is in it. But taste quite good and special. It is great place to have lunch with group of people. The place was completely full when I was there. It seem to be really popular place in Kotti. After the meal, you have to get to the cashier desk to pay, so don't just sit there and wait. If you looking for a quiet place to have a meal, this place probably not the one you are looking for. It is bit noisy here. But if you just want to try some good middle eastern food, this is one of place you should give it a try.
