Beba in Berlin

no words for this place. unreal. sublime. maybe. i liked it.

You have to wait a long time. The food is very salty and is very unappetizing. There are simply leaves in the salad. But the dessert is ok and tastes good. We are from the BPA group and many of us found it that way

Very good mezze platter, really recommended! Otherwise a bit loud. Apparently they are also struggling with a lack of staff here > self-service and one person alone searches through the hall to find the small numbers to which he would like to bring the food. 🧑‍🦯

Fantastic brunch, fantastic weather and great service - will come back!

Have been coming here quite often for a few months. Excellent food, ambiance, and staff. It’s really improved! Great job!

A nice place with very friendly employees. I felt very comfortable here.

We booked this place for a summer party for our employees. Everyone loved the location and the food. There was misunderstanding of communication in the contract, that made some unfortunate event at the end. But nevertheless the service was polite and friendly. The drinks and food was delicious and unique. And the atmosphere of the location was amazing.

We booked until 2am and had to leave at 1:45am. impudence. I am paying for a service that is not guaranteed. I can only advise against this location. We came from all over the world, even Montreal, based on the reviews.

Stereotypes are a real time saver. If you want a cheap feed, go lebanese or Turkish; stereotype says you'll get a cheap feed, with minimal fuss and inexpensive ingredients. The Israeli/Jewish business stereotype (I'm the latter); we make the best possible product we can think of and charge as much as we think enough customers will pay. That's what you get here. Fabulous food from quality ingredients, really well put together, at a highish price. Seems that whatever issues there were with the Israeli boss (yeah, they can take care to stressful heights (he says euphemistically)) have settled (yeah, i know how to ask the staff, without asking them). All that and a place in berlin that knows how to make coffee. If the prices are ok for you, come and settle into a cut above.

Very nice restaurant with a nice terrace. The service was very friendly! I can highly recommend the artichokes and hummus!

Food was something unusual and good. Unfortunately, the daily special and other dishes were no longer available at 2 p.m. You have to order at the kiosk at the entrance. When paying with a card you will be asked to add a tip of 10 or, better yet, 15%. Until then, no services had been provided. The interaction is not unfriendly but overall rather uncaring and disinterested. Food is then brought to the table, but you have to get your own cutlery. Maybe the whole service concept should be reconsidered.

+The food was amazing. - The overall experience was not great… 1. The owner spoke very rudely to one of the wait staff loudly & in front of customers. It was unkind & unprofessional. 2. We made a reservation weeks ago for lunch but they did not have a table reserved for us when we arrived. 3. The prices and food do not match the level of service…no beer glass available after asking, needing to ask for water glasses after ordering a bottle, only outdoor seating available because of the nice weather but no mention of this on the website or when making a reservation. 4. Food at lunch should not take 45 minutes to come out. The food was truly great but it just doesn’t seem like they know how to run a restaurant and I worked in the industry for more than 10 years…so I’m also super forgiving knowing that when it’s super busy sometimes service can be slow. My impression was it’s simply run poorly by management. To to be fair, it was my 1st time there so it could have just been a bad day…

My review applies to the outdoor area on a Sunday lunchtime. When you read the story of how it came about in the menu, you have high expectations, but then it starts. To order, you have to go in. When ordering dishes from the menu, you will be informed that the menu has been updated and that some dishes are no longer available. Then you should go to the table and food will be served. When the food arrives and you notice that the drinks are missing, you find out that you should have picked them up somewhere else. The sandwiches are missing fries. A server left with the information and was never seen again. another offered us cookies as compensation. two came. The food tasted good, but I felt it was overpriced. Overall, I would say wanted to, but unfortunately couldn't.

One of my favorite restaurants in Berlin. Brunch on Sunday is particularly recommended.

As a former employee of this restaurant, I feel compelled to share my deeply horrible experience with the management. The behavior exhibited by the boss, Shany, was nothing short of appalling. Not only did they foster a hostile work environment, but they also engaged in the appropriation of Palestinian cuisine while staunchly supporting apartheid and the colonization of Palestinian land. Additionally, the constant misgendering I endured, coupled with a complete disregard for my identity as a trans person, made my time at this establishment incredibly difficult and emotionally taxing. In summary, my experince at this restaurant can only be described as horrendous. It's important to address and condemn such behavior, and I stand firmly against Zionism while advocating for the liberation of Palestine.

Says it is open here but there is a sign saying it is closed at the door. Edit: Saturday at 4pm there was a sign over the other sign saying “closed” and I asked the people at the lobby and she said it was closed, multiple times. It indeed looked open but there was a sign saying closed and the staff of the museum said so too. Edit: Upping to 3 stars as it seems to be a misunderstanding and the business is replying in good spirit! Probably the person that didn't allow me in at the museum after asking a few times was just badly informed. Will happily change it up when I visit next. Thank you Shani.

Sunday Brunch outside in beautiful sunshine. Food was fantastic, light refreshing and flavoursome. Each bite added a new layer of complexity to the pallet. 100% would recommend to anyone!

I took advantage of the Sunday brunch. I made reservations in advance, and although the price is known and is €11 per person, it actually costs a lot more. There was no information from the staff about what the price included, because the drinks were definitely paid for and expensive (coffee). I think it's worth just going there like a restaurant and ordering from the menu. I ate little and paid a lot! The food was tasty, especially the baked cauliflower, and I might add that the bruch included vegetarian dishes apart from smoked salmon. I definitely won't come back.

I liked it enough. The food is good and plenty. But the drink service was really slow. Did not enjoy seeing a hairy back in a restaurant from one the staff members. A lot of dishes had coriander in them. So I had to have my friend taste everything before me to make sure I wouldn't accidentally eat coriander or any nuts. Allergens where not listed.

The homemade lemonade is highly recommended, wonderfully fresh and sour. It's not really cheap, but every bite is worth it. A real feast for the eyes and the palate! The atmosphere has something hall-like about it. But here you sit well and have enough space.

expensive buffet, people are moody

Do yourself a favor and don't go to this place. Unfriendly servers and food does not look fresh.

The brunch is sooo delicious! Enjoyed every dish on the buffet ♥️

Great food, all you can eat brunch, very nice, had to stab a guy to get that Shakshuka, but thats ok, thug life

Went for the Sunday brunch and it was sublime. Fresh, tasty and varied dishes including desserts and either a well made espresso or a lemonade. All in all for the quality and number of different dishes well worth the price. Service was also really good..friendly smiley and welcoming. Would definitely count this as a must eat if in Berlin for the weekend.

Simple the best branch I ever had!

Everything is expensive and people working there are just rude.

I’ve finally made it for brunch here. And the food is so so good.

The cake was very tasty. Unfortunately, the offer only consisted of sweet pastries - although there was also a brunch that day (Sunday). For this reason, the feedback is not representative of the normal offer. The service was friendly. I can highly recommend the New York Cheesecake.

Wow! This place is a must! We were here a group of people for few times and last one was also the Sunday buffet! I must say, everything but really everything is just fantastic! The food is fresh! The place is clean the stuff is really nice (each and every one of them) and the taste! Oh the taste is amazing! Everything is super tasty from the main dishes to the special desserts! (One of the best cheesecake I ever had) Highly recommend! It a must! Thanks guys for a special experience

The service was not great. Food was ok

Such a nice spot! Really Liked the food

Amazing food and vibe, we definitely recommend it!

Das Pulled Beef Sandwich war besonders gut!

The food is absolutely delicious, I'm eating their daily dish almost every day for lunch because it's just so tasty, healthy and affordable. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is great. Also a fantastic place for just having a cup of coffee, if you're not hungry. And make sure to see the art exhibitions at Gropius Bau, they're always fascinating! Highly recommended!

Ein wunderbarer Ort. Ich war schon mehrmals dort, auch zum Essen. Der Raum ist, wie der gesamte Gropius-Bau, eine Augenweide: großzügig und klassizistisch zurückhaltend. Das Beba-Team ist absolut cool. Freundlich, kosmopolitisch, agil. Es handelt sich nicht um althergebrachten Kellner-Service und man muss sich auf Wartezeiten einlassen (drängeln oder quengeln: not an option). Das Beba ist kein geschmiertes Uhrwerk an Service. Aber wer will schon in einem geschmierten Uhrwerk trinken und essen? Das Angebot ist vielfältig und alles von sehr guter Qualität. Heute hatte ich einen Orangenkuchen, den ich mit einem Freund teilte. Der Kuchen hat Leysieffer-Qualität, frisches und natürliches Aroma. Auch die Kaffeevariationen sind über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Hier gibt es nicht den üblichen Museums-Nepp. Die Bedienungen sind unglaublich nett und kommunikativ, hier ist eine frische neue Generation unterwegs und man gibt gerne ein ordentliches Trinkgeld.

Ein absoluter Abstieg gegenüber den früheren Pächtern. Desorientiertes Personal, fast nur englischsprachig (für mich kein Problem, für andere schon), am Samstagnachmittag um 14.15 Uhr noch zwei angebrochene Kuchen vorhanden. 1 Besteck zu Kaffee und Kuchen fehlte gänzlich, auf Nachfrage gab es auch Zucker und zwei Essgabeln anstelle von Kuchengabeln. Kaffeelöffel wurde geteilt. Kuchenqualität ist den Preisen nicht angemessen, über den Kaffee schweigen wir. Kein zweites Mal! Allerdings ist adäquates Café-Angebot rund um den Potsdamer Platz auch Mangelware. Typische Touri-Abzocke.

Ohne Worte. Organisation - Fehlanzeige. In der Folge ist der Service unterirdisch.

Service absolut unorganisiert und planlos, daher lange Wartezeiten auf Getränke und Essen und bis man überhaupt sitzen kann.

Ich weiß nicht, wie lange man im Restaurant warten muss, bis man wenigstens einen Platz bekommt. Von einem Kaffee ganz zu schweigen.

Ich habe mich nach vielen Besuchen nun zu einer Rezension entschieden, denn das Personal ist wiederholt das unfreundlichste alle Museen in Berlin. Die Bedienung ist motzig und ruppig. Das kuchenstück hätte nicht kleiner sein können und der Kaffe schmeckt wässrig.

Beautifully designed eatery in Gropius Bau. Tried the mezze platter. While everything was very tasty, it was a bit too salty to my taste. Aubergine and cauliflower were my favourites. While the hummus was quite decent, it was a bit dried on the top - to me a sign of leaving it open for too long. Schug was excellent. Service was as friendly as Berlin usually offers, but also as slow as it could get. It was not even a peak time and it took 5 mins until I was offered a table, and 20 minutes until my order was taken. Once ordered, food was served very fast, though.

Wir haben hier die Weihnachtsfeier von unserer Firma verbracht, und ich muss sagen, dass ich in meinem ganzen Leben noch nie so gute, jüdische und libanesische Küche gegessen habe. Der Service war einzigartig, das Essen von höchster Qualität und extrem frisch und wir haben den Abend sehr genossen. Volle fünf Sterne!

Great place, nice food, atmosphere and the staff was friendly.

For a museum-based restaurant this is one of the best! Very good Jewish inspired dishes, friendly service and even a thoughtful choice of music!

귀엽고 키치하고 그른데 재방문 의사는 없. 그냥 경험하러 가기에 좋다

Peinlicher Laden, man spricht kein Deutsch aber auch Englisch wird hier nur marginal verstanden. Bestellungen gehen im Chaos unter, ständig irren Servicekräfte mit Bestellungen von Tisch zu Tisch und fragen wer es denn bestellt hätte. Kaffee nur lauwarm. Die hohe Bestuhlung hinten ist samt Tischen teils sehr wacklig und defekt. Alles in allem kein Ort den man weiter empfehlen könnte.

Sehr sehr lecker. Super Bedienung

Der Service ist praktisch nicht vorhanden. Die Servicekräfte unterhalten sich lieber untereinander. Als wir (7 Personen) endlich jemanden an den Tisch bekamen, konnten wir bestellen. Nach 20 Minuten war der bestellte Kaffee immer noch nicht da, geschweigedennder bestellte Kuchen. Wir sind frustriert gegangen.

Super cute little find. When we arrived, there was a live music performance. We just stopped by for coffee. Nice coffee and atmosphere, I’d come back ☺️

Whether you're a museum enthusiast or a food connoisseur, this restaurant is a must-visit destination. The combination of exquisite cuisine, a captivating ambiance, and friendly service creates a dining experience that transcends the ordinary. Prepare to embark on a culinary journey that delights the senses and leaves a lasting impression.

Super leckeres Essen, guter Service!

Opening times are wrong, closure at 17

Badly organized, promises are not kept, service is miserable, prices too high, food very average.

A really beautiful, airy Mediterranean restaurant located in a museum, with friendly service. I came here for a work meeting with someone in my industry. We ordered the mezze platter, which was huge, shareable, and very pretty! We also ordered coffees and chatted here for three hours, with no problem. The prices were more expensive compared to other places, but priced that way because of the museum location, I’m guessing!

Nous sommes tombés sur ce restaurant par hasard, attirés par l'afffiche colorée. Quelle chance ! C'était vraiment délicieux. Des assiettes aux saveurs méditerranéennes remplies de saveurs toutes plus délicieuses les unes que les autres. Très bon et très sain. Et un service adorable.

Tried the hummus here the other day. Taste was just ok, didn't seem super fresh unfortunately. The staff is friendly though and service is fast. The outdoor seating area is nice when weather permits.

Nice place to grab some food after visit. Jewish cuisine from different countries. Leek with labneh was delicious. Be patient regarding service (a bit slow). Staff is pleasant. Credit card accepted.

Ambiente wie eine Kantine Das Essen war lecker. Die Preise sind teuer bis überteuert Die Getränke sind naja nix interessantes (Home made lemonade und Wein) und überteuert für winzige Gläser. Service war sehr langsam und uninteressiert. Ja, zwei Kellner für alle Leute. Das ist keine Ausrede. Alles war langsam. Wir werden nicht wiederkommen.

Sehr leckeres und abwechslungsreiches Essen. Alles frisch und selbstgemacht! Es ist jedes Mal ein tolles Erlebnis. Vielen Dank.

This place is amazing. The food is great. The cakes are delicious...and the people who work there are very kind.

Very good and testy food. The dishes are quite big. And the people are nice.

Love it! Good drinks and snacks on a museum day ❤️

Totally underestimated Israeli food. You can combine it very nicely with a stroll through the exhibitions at "Gropius Bau". The Sunday brunch is one of my favorites ♥️

Came for lunch, a really interesting menu based on Jewish food with the influences of the areas the diaspora spread to. Very generous portions (particularly the sandwich!) and absolutely delicious. Prices towards the high end but very worth it (e.g. Sandwich was 18 Euro but was massive and came with chips and salad that were both large.) Really interesting food, and a lovely waiter

Delicious Israeli-inspired dishes with gourmet details. Their menu had several vegan options. During stretches of better weather, the tables and ordering trailer are outside--the kitchen is still in the Martin-Gropius-Bau Museum basement. They have some beer selections. We went for lunch on a Sunday and it was not too busy, but very, very good. Don't miss their hummus, nor the eggplant.

Le mezze à l'artichaut, un delice !

So cute outside with a delicious spread. Very vegetarian friendly but yummy for all. Some of the best food I’ve had in Europe really

Echt onvriendelijke bediening! Beledigen zelfs de klanten. Maken vreselijke opmerkingen. Geven commentaar. Mooie locatie maar not the place to be!

Ich kann dieses Mahl leider nicht zu mir nehmen da es nicht schmeckt ich kann das Restaurant auf keinen Fall weiterempfehlen. PS das Wasser sieht nicht nur aus wie Seife es schmeckt auch so.

Das Konzept des Ladens ist wirklich gut, bietet gleichzeitig auch ausgefallene Speisen. Für mein Empfinden waren die Gerichte geschmacklich nicht wirklich das Gelbe vom Ei.

Incredible street food in a lovely tranquil location. Situated just at the side of the Gropius Bau we had the best lunch. Salad and pickles with a huge Schnitzel sandwich. It was busy for a reason. Great music was playing and the shade was appreciated. So nice we stayed for a second beer!

היינו בבראנץ׳ של יום ראשון, האוכל היה טעים מאוד, טרי ומגווון. בזכות מזג האוויר ישבנו בחוץ, אבל חלל המסעדה היה נראה מזמין לא פחות. מומלץ ביותר!

KATASTROPHE ungewürzter Brei (Hirse und Gemüse) ein No Go

Het is een geruststelling dat als je de tentoonstellingen doet in de Gropius Bau, een buurt waar je weinig degelijke eethuizen vindt, hier steeds terecht kan voor een portie lekker eten uit die de inspiratie vindt in het midden Oosten en Joodse eetcultuur. De ruimte is een aangename verzorgde plaats. Het eten steeds lekker, maar de bediening blijft hier een heikel punt. Deze keer was het zelfs zo slecht dat ik er niet blij van werd. Veel bezoekers hebben zelf s niet de beleefdheid te wachten tot er een plaats wordt toegewezen, worden niet op hun plaats gewezen door het bedienend personeel en krijgen dan nog hun eten sneller geserveerd dan zij die zich aan de huisregels houden. Deze keer was het zelfs zo erg dat we vier tafels sneller zien bediend worden die allen na ons binnenz ijn gekomen. En dan spraak ik zelfs over meer dan een kwartier later. Weinig geamusseerd hebben we tot driemaal toe dan iemand van de bediening hierop duidelijk willen maken. Uiteindelijk was er toch één die het doorhad en naar de keuken liep en krgen we na korte tijd toch ons eten. We hadden niks speciaal besteld. We aten hetzelfde als de mensen die na ons waren binnne gekomen maar eerder werden bediend. We hadden hey gevoel dat ze wel wisten dat ze een steek hadden laten vallen en kregen een extra goed gevulde sandwich, wat dan op zich weer teveel was en wij dus niet konden opeten wegens teveel. Ook jammer als je op deze manier eten moet verkwisten, want lekker blijft het eten hier wel. Ook de huislimonade blijft een favoriet en opteer ik hier steevast voor en laat het glas wijn met plezier links liggen. In Berlijn is het e gewoonte dat je het bedienend personeel een tip geeft van 10% van de prijs, maar hier moesten ze dit dus nie verwachten. Zorg eerst voor personeel dat zijn werk kan uitvoeren alvorens je verwachtingen schept. Het is hier dus een dubbeltje op zijn kant. Momenteel nog geen alternatief in de buurt gevonden waar je zeer lekker kunt eten in een aangenaam kader, maar waar de bediening wel correct is. Dit is al zeer lang een werkpunt in deze zaal en hopelijk maken ze hier eens werk van. Je betaalt hier voldoende om dit toch te mogen zeggen!

Waren mit einer angekündigten 50 Personen Gruppe dort, außer uns waren keine anderen Gäste vor Ort, trotzdem mussten wir knapp 1,5 Stunden auf das Hauptgericht warten. Um die Ruhezeiten des Busfahrers einhalten zu können, mussten wir das Lokal dann nach knapp 2 Stunden ohne Nachtisch verlassen. Katastrophe!

Great food & drink, great service, great place next to the Gropius building

Delicious Israeli food ! If you visit the art gallery, you should definitely also pay a visit to this restaurant. Fast service, we can see the vegetables being marinated and the herbs growing. I paid 19€ for an enormous Schnitzel Sandwich that was sooo good!!

Amazing spot for high quality delicious food! Will come back over and over again!

Awesome lunch experience at the Martin-Gropius Bau (Museum)! A rather tall room with minimalistic decoration felt like I was somewhere else. Service and food were outstanding, highly recommendable for oriental food lovers. The hip hop music in the background and the self-made lemonade toped this experience.

amazing place! so tasty and friendly!

Fabulous place, delicious food (like a short trip to Tel Aviv while staying in Berlin), super friendly staff! ❤️❤️❤️

Super Brunch, leicht und lecker.

Beat place we’ve eaten in Berlin. Really chilled atmosphere, great service, but the food……out of this world. And really good value for money.

Brilliant service, great atmosphere, but the food was wonderful. Will be going back whenever I am in Berlin.

It's definitely one of my favourite brunch places in Berlin! The sunday buffet is delicious, the service is friendly and fresh and the atmosphere is amazing!

Uiterst vriendelijk personeel bracht ons een kwur van lekkernijen. Zowel de rustieke sneeen brood, de bladen met midden oosterse lekkernijen als de taarten waren heerlijk. Tussen de middag even reserveren, beslist een aanrader!

Excellent Sabich plate, worth every penny of which you will need plenty.

Very good food, the service is inefficient and super slow.

Delicious food and very generous portions. Truly remarkable flavours. Mezze plate as big as a tea-tray! Loved it!

Wait a long time to be seated, just to be told that you need to come back later because they need some time to clean up the tables. Is this Berghain?

I was looking forward to going to Beba since a long time. Unfortunately today I got one disappointment after another. I had reserved a table, yet waiting 10min to be let in despite the restaurant being empty. Then I waited another 15min to receive the menu and got informed that there were no hot drinks. After another 10min I finally ordered and waited and waited. A second waiter came and checked on me whether I had ordered and he then told me that they are not taking food orders anymore .... Another 5min later I received my lemonade and food. I think I waited about 45min in total. What a mess...but the food was great!

Mit einer Bildungsfahrt dort gewesen.

Viva Beba! This mezze platte is my favorite meal on earth

Trendiges Lokal im Gropius Bau, ich empfand es dort laut, voll und kreativ. Glutenfreie Speisen sind erhältlich.

We went for coffee and cakes at Beba. The orange cake and chocolate tart were very delicious, coffee was okay. We give only one star because of the chaotic and not-so-friendly service. I understood some of the staff might be stressful or maybe had a bad morning. But it's not fair to pass their negativity to the costumers.

Thank you for the treat🫶🏻 We picked this last raspberry cheesecake they had in the counter, and they said it was a bit crumbly so thank youu❤️but it still so delicious! Definitely love the rich texture and matching with the raspberry - I got this homemade beba lemonade with a hint of berries, that is absolutely a surprise and so gooood!

Love the food, it is so delicious and fresh.

20 min vor der Tür gewartet und als wir hätten dran kommen sollen, wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass Kücke geschlossen ist. Um 17 Uhr! Tische nie voll besetzt. Service- Personal total konfus. Nie wieder!

Simply incredible. What a delicious experience.
