    Mint tea
    Usman L.

    Don't miss stopping off at this excellent, fresh, and inexpensive Syrian eatery before or after visiting Checkpoint Charlie. Pretty much everything we ate was amazing. The eggplant was one of the best things I've eaten. There were also these things like Syrian egg rolls filled with ground beef. Excellent as well! Really interesting tea choices too. Casual place with great food and wonderful staff/owners!

    Single mix plate for 8€

    Update: we have it another try to be more specific in our ratings. The baba ganoush is fantastic no doubt. But 6€ for two thin pieces of eggplants for 6€ is not a good deal. 7€ for the falafel plate (5 pieces) vs the mix plate 8€ (2 pieces and many more) makes the mix plate the best deal to get. The hummus is not the greatest and so is there falafel - disappointing. The best falafel we've had so far was at Alin in Prenzlauer Berg. Oh Lord this Place is so overhyped. Yarok has great reviews online and did a great job to get the attention of many tourists. As local Berliner I can tell you that the food is just average and the price is slightly higher than other spots. There are soo many better options in Berlin with better falafel and Mediterranean food. The food was not bad, but also not good. We wouldn't come back. 8€ for a plate was an ok price. Places like Ajin, zweistorm in Prenzlauer Berg or Mezem in West Berlin or many other spots in Friedrichshain around Boxhagener Straße are far better options if you are looking for better taste and price.

    Tasted mediocre, but for the price, it was fair and good.

    Extremely friendly customer service, accommodating. The food was mediocre to me, but the food versus price was very fair in my opinion. I tried a platter that had a couple of salads and couple of different grilled meats and falafel.

    2 meals here! Read about this Syrian joint on Berlin foodstories. Absolutely delicious and cheap, but cash only. Loved the kebab wraps here. Seating space isn't large, but offers both indoor and patio options that's seat about 20ppl.

    Amazing food and service. I had read about Yarok before arriving in Berlin because I wanted to try Syrian food. I was traveling with a large group and really looking forward to trying it but also nervous as I was bringing many people along who may not have had much experience with Middle Eastern food...plus pleasing a big group is always a challenge. Yarok did not disappoint! It was worth the hype; everyone was happy with their meals & the price. I suggest sharing with friends to try different things. We were a big group & the staff was extremely accomadating. A platter between 2 is perfect. I shared the mixed platter that came with a few meat dishes and a few vegetarian (hummus, falafel, tabouleh, eggplant etc). Highly recommend! Good for vegetarians as they have many veggie appetizers & a vegetarian sharing platter as well. Tips - 1. Be prepared to wait as the place gets busy 2. Cash only

    Mix-Teller! Highly recommend!

    Everything about this place is FANTASTIC! I walk in and I immediately feel cozier as I am surrounded by the colorful walls and mingling voices. The waiter was attentive and seated me promptly. I ordered the mix-teller, which is basically a huge platter with everything they have - hummus, falafel, tabbouleh, kebabs, etc. - for only €7.50! Each bite made me want more, and everything on the plate tasted so perfect together (and individually)! It might be difficult to get indoor seating if you go in a group larger than 4 people, but this place is definitely a gem. I usually don't revisit restaurants when I'm traveling but I'll make an exception for this place!

    Great Mediterranean food! Good service and a place with good vibes overall. The mix platter gas great and the blakava was delicious with the right hint of honey. Fair prices and good food!

    Yarok is a nice, clean, chill place to go for dinner. It's colorful inside with some music playing on the speakers, and the staff in the back of the shop chatting to one another, making delicious foods. They even have little blankets on the chairs in the winter that you can wrap on yourself if you get cold from the door opening with more customers. I went around peak dinner time, but the service was quick and friendly. I got #18, the vegetarian platter, and WOW! Not only was it filling, but it was delicious too. I can't wait to come back and try their other dishes now that I've gotten a little taste of a lot of their options.

    Nr. 20 für 2 Personen
    Gregory S.

    Als syrischer Imbiss ganz ok. Die Nr. 20 ist eine vegetarische Platte aus allen Speisen ab 2 Personen für 9,- €/Person. Schmeckt lecker, wird man aber nur leidlich satt von.

    Hummus
    Graham L.

    With Hummus running in my veins, I think I can recommend this tiny hole in the wall as a great place if you're craving some real Middle Eastern food on Torstraße. For €4.50 you get a nice plate of Hummus, Tehina and a small salad. It's fresh and lemony but in my opinion would benefit from a little more garlic. For another €1.50 you can have a fresh mint tea although that's made with the awful Berlin water. Maybe I should have had one of the fresh juices.

    Chicken Shawarma plate
    Mohammed G.

    This is not your typical Shawarma/Falafel imbiss here, but it's rather fast Middle Eastern food served with class. I was very hungry, so I didn't want to go for any experiments and ordered the Chicken Shawarma dish. First things first, the presentation was great and beautifully done. The Chicken was very well marinated and oozing with flavor. I was probably only disappointed by the portion, which was smaller than what you'd typically get in a Shawarma shop. To close it off, I ordered a cup of black tea. It was a bit different from your typical Turkish or Arabic tea, but was instead marinated with Cinnamon, Lemon, and Cardamom, and it was nothing short of great. Service is good, and prices are a bit above other Middle Eastern places but still totally worth it.

    Vegetarian mix-plate for two.
