West African food can be offputting at first, but there's some really interesting stuff if you're…read morewilling to step out of your comfort zone. This place specializes in food from Cameroon (Kamerun) and thereabouts, which I had not run across before. I go the Ndolé, since apparently that's the national dish. At first I found it a little odd because of the flavors and textures, but once I got comfortable with it, it was really appealing. It has some unusual flavor and texture from ground up nuts and bitter greens, and a kind of fishy taste that I believe comes from ground dried prawns or similar. While that might no *sound* appealing at first, it ends up making a really savory combo. I ended up getting mine with both rice and plantains, which was good because I needed rice to soak up the broth and plantains to balance out how incredibly rich it was. I got the version with beef, and the main complaint I'd have is the meat used was kinda stringy-fatty by American standards, though that might just be the style, but I trimmed the bits I didn't like and ate the tastier brisket-like beef bits. Also, note they have bottled palm wine as a drink option, so make sure to try that and maybe some of the African beers. All in all, this is maybe a place for more adventurous eaters, but I left feeling quite satisfied (and stuffed) for €20 (ndole, side of plantain, one palm wine and one beer).

Both the food and the service were so bad that it prompted my review on Yelp…read more Let me start off by sharing that my favorite food of all is Ethiopian and although I'm getting used to all of the Germanized, blanding down of food in Berlin, this restaurant is the most guilty. Not only that but my husband and I found their food just plain bad. My "berbere" sauce was like a really bland pasta sauce and my dish was served lukewarm by a very disgruntled waitress. Actually, all of the staff here seemed quite indifferent at best. We ate half of our meal and left as soon as possible. The only thing we liked about the restaurant was the decor and ambience, minus the miserable looking staff. We wondered if the staff were poorly treated by the management to warrant such sullen faces. Big disappointment.

The waitress was very nice and made it happen, no extra charge. The food was tasty, but we're used to more authentic, spicier Ethiopian food. But for newcomers to this kind of food, it's probably a better start. We were positively surprised by the size of the portions. All in all a very enjoyable experience.

The sign outside read "Nigerian" and "vegan options", so we got curious. The interior is cozy and well laid out, with lots of space for groups. There were plenty of vegan options on the menu, and although not indicated - most items are also glutenfree. However, meat eaters will find an array of interesting dishes as well, from chicken to ostrich and even crocodile steak. I can highly recommend to get several dishes to share, to get a taste of everything, but also for clearing your palette in between the well-spiced dishes. We ordered fried tofu masala with veggis and potatoe wedges, a mango-avocado salad, and a side order of cassava with a mint dip. Everything tasted amazing! It was plenty of food for us two, well spiced but not too spicy for us - although that's a personal evaluation. If you want to try something very typical for many African and Indian regions, try a Palm Drink (Ghana). It is fermented palm juice with a very low percentage of alcohol. I found it a required taste and decided after three sips that I'm not a fan, but my partner thought it was refreshing and sweet. Besides palm wine, there are a number of African beers on the menu, including Nigerian Guinness. All around Pan Africa is a lovely, unexpected gem in the middle of Rixdorf - Neukölln. I will for sure come back with friends!

It has plenty of different dishes on it and everyone can find sth to enjoy. Especially the vegetarian dishes tasted amazing and the pancakes were also really fresh and delicious.

Having a dju dju beer was a nice addition to the meal and the way they serve it is also quite cool. Definitely a nice experience. We will come again soon!

Service: The staff here are so welcoming & friendly. It honestly made the dining experience that much better -- they went around offering freshly made traditional coffee and popcorn after the meal. Such a memorable touch to wrap up my dinner! Ambiance: Very homey feel to this establishment. Charming cultural decor surrounds you at the restaurant. There is a bar section and a table dining section. There is also a circular nook inside where one can enjoy a more circular, cultural seating arrangement. This is a great place to enjoy a casual dinner that's a bit more intimate, in my opinion. I enjoyed my company/meal so much that I forgot to take pictures of my food! But, here are a couple of photos of the traditional coffee cup and honey wine glass. Overall, I highly recommend Bejte if you are Berlin. You will not regret coming here for an experience -- such a wonderful way to end a day of walking/sightseeing!
