One of the best kebabs I’ve ever had! Tender, perfectly grilled on the outside, juicy in the middle, with a pleasant smoky flavor and amazing lamb taste. The staff were very polite and the service was smooth. I’ll definitely come back every time I’m in Berlin!
The food was not just filling, but also good quality and delicious. The servers were quick to seat us and take our orders. We ordered the chicken skewers, lamb skewers, and mixed grill platter and all three were great. Free bread and salad was served to start. We came for lunch and it was not too full or loud, so the atmosphere was nice and calm.
Delicious food, exceptional service and lovely ambience. We shared some dips for starter which were delicious. I’d particularly recommend the hummus with ezme. The accompanying bread was also a generous portion. I had one of the mixed grill options and everything was cooked well and extremely tasty. The waiter was extremely attentive and friendly and ensured our meal was perfect. I’ll be back!
Excellent quality food and perfect service. Had a mixed grill plate, all the meat was high quality and the side salads and rice were paired perfectly. Slightly upscale atmosphere, but still you'll feel right at home.
Wow, we were glad we found this restaurant. Didn't had reservation but we were early and so lucky that there was a free table . All was very tasty but the lentil soup was really wow, so in balance.. The meat was tender. The baklava 3 pieces for 8€, not cheap but very tasty. We be back when we're in Berlin again.
The food is delicious! Iskander Kebab that we eat is the best with affordable price. Restaurant is very warmth and cozy. Servants are helpful and kind. Service is excellent!
Great option if you are looking for Turkish dish. I went here as walk-in and they gave me a table which was good. The place is dimmed lit and I felt like really in Aladdin place hehe! I had adana kebap which was really delicious! I highly recommend it. Then I had baklava too which was superb! Lots of pistachios. They serve free salad and pita bread which is nice.
While traveling in Germany for our wedding anniversary, we found this restaurant to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Food, service & ambience was amazing. Our servers Ismail and Aksin were absolutely incredible & made our special day even more exciting by surprising us with dry ice presentation. It was so beautiful. What a great gesture! Must visit this restaurant.
