We had researched vegetarian restaurants before our trip to Berlin.
This venue was highly recommended and we throughly enjoyed our visit.
We booked a table in advance and we took a tram from the centre of Berlin and it was hen only a short walk from the tram stop to the restaurant.
There were many people sitting around the pavements nearby eating food they had taken away from the restaurant.The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful when we were deciding what to order, guiding us regarding portion sizes suitable for the size of our party.
Were we to visit Berlin again, we would not hesitate to return to the restaurant.

Everything was amazing.
Best hummus I’ve had in Berlin.
The portions were bigger than expected

Our favourite Berlin restaurant - unfortunately you did not live up to our expectations this time around. Tonight we went for the belly dancing show and set menu offer. Positives first: Very generous portions, be prepared for a big feast and lots of lovely flavours! Their lemonade is very fresh and delicious, definitely recommended as a refreshing aperitif. The belly dancer show was so energetic, excited that we finally got to see it! Great fun! Our prior experience, both at the old location and new, has been nothing but positive.
Attentive staff, busy vibe and amazing food.
However, there were some issues this time around that has made us wondering if this was our last visit. Our reserved slot was 18.00 to 20.00.
We were welcomed and seated immediately upon arrival but then had to wait nearly 20 minutes before staff took drink orders.
The starter wasn’t served until almost an hour after we arrived.
To our knowledge at the time this left us possibly with only an hour to finish a 9 course meal.
The dessert was served at about 20.00, so luckily it wasn’t as tight as feared. Yet again when we had finished our meal we also had to wait a long time at the bar to get to pay our bill. Unfortunately staff did not have time to pay much attention to our table during our stay.
By the time we left staff had not taken a single drink-order from us, we had to make the request and generally it took some effort and waiting to communicate, as they were super busy running back and forth.
Even presenting the menu and taking orders they appeared in a rush, talking very fast and «on the go». Starter: The seasoned bread was nice but dry.
Some of the dishes that we expected to be served warm arrived cold at the table.
Unsure if it was supposed to be like that, but the grilled cauliflower, falafel and roasted potatoes would have been nice served warm.
The potatoes were somewhat chewy and falafel was not moist like before, unfortunately dry.
The hummus was lovely, like before, however served with much added tahini now which camouflaged the hummus flavour and made it somewhat bland. Mains: By the time our mains arrived we were starting to feel full already.
So great value for money, but quite overwhelming. Dessert: Coconunt pannacotta with pistachio crumble and a fruit sauce was lovely, but then again we were very, very full at this point. All in all we spent the majority of our visit waiting, and less time enjoying the food and taking the time to process and taste the lovely foods and flavours.
Such a shame. The large portions are great if you have a big appetite and are a fast eater.
We could’ve enjoyed half the size and therefore miss the opportunity of a la carte. The belly dancer was definitely a highlight, thank you for the entertaining show and spreading love! Edit: Would like to add that the staff was very friendly also this time.
They were constantly running and probably did as best as they could given the number of staff available and dinner set-up, serving a full restaurant within a very short time frame.
