If you're a minimalist, this isn't the place for you. Everywhere you look, there's something for everyone. It's a mix between a breakfast place and a lunch spot. The food is quite tasty and plentiful. I tried Manti, and it was good, but I couldn't finish it. It's a shame they don't have a beer tap.

The seating is quite limited here if you are looking to dine in but the ambiance is lovely. The people working there were friendly and the lentil soup was amazing. I wanted to take a gallon of it home with me. They have a wonderful selection of vegetarian food and the menu is inexpensive.

The food was good. The waiter was rude to non-german speaking customers. She was not German btw. The owner literally ‘clapped’ when we left. We stayed there for four hours maybe it was too long, but if that bothers you, you can let us know verbally and explain why. Them we might be kind and leave earlier. Behave!

We ordered one of the meze plates. Çiğ köfte was rotten! i couldn't believe to my friend so i tested myself. Stomach pain all night. Rest of the meze was i think not a good quality. I would not recommend this place.

Super comfortable place, very friendly service (depending on who attends you, but usually is the owner and he is super nice), tastefull self-made and fresh meze like humus and different creams like olive and aubergine made. One of my favorite places in Berlin.
