Bei Joe - Pizza Picos/ West African Kitchen in Berlin

Very good Ghanaian cuisine. Just like in Ghana. Highly recommended for fans of West African cuisine.

authentic west African food❤️, amazing customer service and attentive to needs! Highly recommend

An absolute insider tip. You wouldn't expect to find this little gem of West African cuisine in the area.

That was our first time trying African restaurant in Berlin and if I’m being honest it wasn’t pleasant.When my friend and i entered,we were told we could only order beans and plantain or rice and kontomire stew out of the menu yet some people came later when we were still there and ordered other meals they wanted .Secondly ,we choose a table for ourselves and we were told to move to another table which wasn’t even tidied after use 🤦🏾‍♀️..To us the food was a mid and the kontomire didn’t taste nice .

Very tasty and very friendly staff!

Food: OK, just a little too much pepper on the pasta. The service was slow; the server forgot a dish on our table and blamed us for not reminding him. The wait was relatively long for pasta with tomato sauce 🙄. Not friendly overall; they only accept cash and PayPal, and they added €1 to all dishes. However, the neighborhood was quiet and the music was pleasant. I wouldn't recommend it.

This is a great place to try African food. It is well seasoned and quite flavourful and the portion sizes are very generous. The servers are really friendly. I had the fufu and it was quite delicious and had a heat kick to it. The plantains were caramelised and is a great vegetarian option. Also the beans served with them were really delicious. The Wakye was also really tasty and came with an amazing sauce on top. The fish was crispy and tasted fresh. Good option of drinks and also African drinks available too.

Amazing food !!! Definitely the best I’ve tried in Berlin ❤️ tastes like home. The service was really great. The atmosphere so inviting with Afro beats bangers and the price is absolutely great for the portion of food.

This is a very nice restaurant with exceptionally friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious and authentically African. I won’t hesitate to visit again whenever I’m in Berlin. Keep up the great work, and continue serving amazing food!

I recently visited Bei Joe, a Ghanaian restaurant in Berlin, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. I ordered the fried plantain with red red (bean stew), and it was simply amazing. The blend of flavours was actually insane – perfectly seasoned, rich, and comforting in every bite. You could truly taste the authenticity and love poured into the dish. The plantains were fried to golden perfection, crispy on the outside and sweet and soft on the inside – exactly how they should be! My dad had the kontomire (cocoyam leaves stew) with white rice, and it was just as delicious. The kontomire was flavourful, hearty, and packed with traditional spices that reminded us of home. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was served fresh and hot. The staff were warm and welcoming, creating a laid-back and friendly atmosphere that made us feel right at home. It’s clear that Bei Joe is more than just a restaurant – it’s a place where Ghanaian culture, hospitality, and food truly shine. If you’re in Berlin and looking to experience authentic West African cuisine, Bei Joe is a must-visit. 10/10 would go again!

Very good African food with great ambience and fast polite service

The most authentic Ghanian food in Berlin (and arguably all of Germany!)

The best West African food in town! The dishes are authentic, the portions generous, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. You can taste the love and tradition in every bite – the fufu with peanut soup and the wakye are especially delicious. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is all-around pleasant. If you haven't tried Asanka at Joe's yet, you're definitely missing out. A definite recommendation!

By far the best west African food in Berlin, maybe in Germany.

I had the beans and the fried plantain, which reminded me a lot of my country’s food, Colombia. The rice was too little but everything tasted really good. My bf had the chicken and he said it was a little dry but he liked the rice. Really nice place and attentive people.

Properrrr good food, playing Afrobeat bangers, good vibes. Defs will be back!

Unarguably one of the best African restaurants not just in Berlin but Germany. I tell people confidently, trust me come with me to Joe’s and they’re never disappointed. The taste is ever green all dishes are authentic and tastes just like Ghana. As a Nigerian I have come to fall in love with the Ghanaian style of Joe’s meals. The price, feel and vibe is just rare something we’ve been missing in Germany. The funny thing is a lot of people still don’t know this place I love that it’s not mainstream. Those who know know 😍👌🏿

Hands down the best place I’ve been to eat so far. The food is amazing !!!!!!! The vibes are immaculate .

In short: Good food, poor organization, long wait times, and, unfortunately, some unfriendly staff. Long: The fufu was delicious, which is fair to say. Unfortunately, the rest of our visit was anything but pleasant. We waited almost three hours outside in the cold for our food, while other guests who arrived significantly after us received theirs much earlier. We almost left, but were repeatedly assured that the food would arrive soon, so we didn't want to be rude and stayed. However, after this unusually long and unpleasant stay, we definitely won't do that again. As a small apology, we were given three bottles of water and the information that one dish would not be charged, which was fine at first. Nevertheless, it remained chaotic: Two ordered dishes were completely missing in the end. Instead, one arrived that no one had ordered. The waitress was obviously stressed, initially apologized several times, but then became increasingly annoyed and, as an explanation for the long wait, said it was our own fault because two people had joined us spontaneously. We honestly found that quite inappropriate, as that doesn't explain a three-hour wait!? A discount was initially declined. Only after a lengthy discussion did the manager come over, who was very friendly and understanding. He offered us a discount of €2 per dish. Unfortunately, the waitress didn't give us any change afterward, but simply kept the full amount. The free dish wasn't available, and one person in our group had to pay for a dish they neither ordered nor liked. The waitress wouldn't listen. All in all, it wasn't a pleasant experience. The wait is certainly not always this long, and even though the food was really good, we would have preferred much more attentive service. We definitely won't be coming back.

Been to Afro restaurants but you see this particular place? It’s home😌❤️

Wonderful food, excellent service, I had never tried African dishes before, I loved it. There were 3 of us, each ordered a dish, but there was so much food that we could share. I recommend it to anyone going to Berlin. I'm from São Paulo, Brazil.

Service was excellent food was very good I think so far is the best African Restaurant I have visit in Berlin but only problem is the music is too loud for Restaurant

Great place to enjoy west African cuisine, mainly Ghanaian . I particularly enjoyed waakye with chicken and some side dishes I would also recommend Jollof with tilapia

Asanke at Joe's – A true piece of Ghana in the heart of the city! The four of us visited Asanke at Joe's yesterday, and I have to say: It was a real highlight! The service was excellent, very warm and authentic; we felt welcome from the very first moment. The food was fantastic, authentic Ghanaian and simply delicious, almost like home. You can tell that the food is cooked with love and tradition. The atmosphere was lively and exuberant, with good music, a great vibe, and super friendly people; you just felt at home. A very special thank you goes to Adjoa, who welcomed us. She was incredibly friendly and attentive, someone who truly represents the restaurant with heart. People like that make all the difference! I highly recommend Asanke at Joe's to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Ghanaian food. A real insider tip, thumbs up!

A very good price-performance ratio. Tastes great and the service is great.

Very authentic food with great service!

The food was very delicious and the atmosphere was very nice, good music and friendly staff. The only problem we had was that once we left we realized we had paid more than the price listed in the menu outside. We recommend to include the prices of each meal in the menu that is given inside to avoid future mistakes in the payment process and to optimize the process of ordering because we had to repeat many times what we wanted.

Jollof rice was a 10/10 !! Shitor was equally good!! Customer service was satisfactory

Was there recently and I absolutely loved their jollof. This is by far the best afro restaurant I've been to in Berlin!

Good food with always clean tables to sit at

Had the jollof rice with chicken. It was really amazing along with the delicious sauces and salad - just made in heaven!😋 Boss Joe is very humble and respectable. Homely interior decor too further accentuates the experience. I could give 10 stars. I will keep visiting again and again. ♥️ GOD bless you! 🙏

Delicious food, friendly staff, nice ambience, the boss is respectful. I recommend you if you want to travel culinary in West Africa. There's something to eat👌🏽

Authentic food and quite affordable

I'm a tourist, I had a really good time, very good food and the guys were really welcoming. Thank you so much for the lovely culinary experience.

You just have to visit this place. My family had a very satisfactory meal. I have already recommended this kitchen to friends and will continue to do. We will definitely come back... 😃 😊

Great Ghanaian/West African Cuisine Great service Home away from home!

Delicious food, very nice atmosphere and friendly staff, definitely will Come back

Just great food, really tasty, price performance really good 👍🏽😍

Great, tasty, healthy food at a good price. Fast service and good atmosphere. I recommended the jallof to anyone.

Incredible, authentic, no frills west african cuisine at an unreal price. The waiters are super nice and the food is to die for. The fufu blew my mind.

Nice place with also (african) vegan options.

Everything great! Very good food and friendly people

Great authentic Ghanaian food!? Loved it!

We really enjoyed our first African meal. Our German palate was initially confused by the spiciness. But it wasn't too spicy, we'll be back... and... we still made the train!!! :)) Thanks for the napkins, we needed them. ;)

The vegan Jollof rice tasted really good and the service was also very friendly, everything was great!

Very, very tasty, both the pizza at the market and the African dish in the neighboring snack bar/restaurant!

Just wanted to try it, but will definitely come back. Super delicious food, very nice people and absolutely fair prices 👍

I really love their food. I have tried 3 different African Restaurants in Berlin but this very one tops them all. It is very affordable but taste very good. Nice customer service.I strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone.Thank you.🤗🤗

The food was great and the fresh ingredients were great and the service was also very nice

Great food, super tasty, very friendly

Very tasty, great ambience, highly recommended, very nice service. Great snack.

Very tasty and good food at a really good price. Even if the store doesn't look like it, it's definitely worth more than just a visit.

This was my first time trying African food. I was swept away by how great it was. The fish tasted excellent and the Jollof Rice was also very good

Took forever for the food to come but it was delicious. How do they have only 5 stars?

I'd go there over and over again. The best place to experience a great Ghanaian variety of Dishes from Waakye to Fufu and one the weekend special soups. As a matter of fact, I visit it every week ever since I discovered it and the quality has never changed. Bei is in fact Ghana's finest and one of Westafrikan best restaurants in Berlin. Now I feel home in Germany.

Im seriously amazed by the time and heart this man puts into his food, I ate plantain at his place about 10 times now, it never dissapointed me, he's so kind and also has a good price, I would give 6 stars if I could!

The food is so good and affordable.

I went first to the food van on the Platz but they directed me here because I didn't know what I wanted. The chef at the main restaurant was friendly and welcoming, he made me a mixed platter to take away. Not sure what it was exactly, and he didn't tell me, but there was rice, beans, salad and vegetables, and a delicious sauce. I asked for spicy and vegan, and that's exactly what I got. It was too noisy inside for my liking, with loud music, but that wasn’t a big problem.

Good food, small prices and wonderful staff that’s make this place amazing 👍

Das Essen war sehr lecker joe hat uns da der Ofen in seinem Restaurant schon aus war zu dem Stand an dem sein Bruder stand gebracht

Eine erschwingliche und leckere Alternative zu den Food Trucks um die Ecke. Die Umgebung lässt es vielleicht nicht vermuten, aber doch, hier gibt's Lebensfreude und schmackhaftes Essen!

Amazingly friendly, hearty portion and clean premise. I can second that the spaghetti bolognese changed my life; just like another review said.

Sehr nice Beste Spagetti meines Lebens

Ich find's Lecker. Bolanase ist am besten!

Bester Ort zum Mittagessen. Preis-Leistung perfekt. Danke Joe

Sehr gutes Essen, super Service, auch Sonderwünsche bei Vorbestellung möglich. Ich bin hier regelmäßig und wenn ich mal nicht in Berlin sein kann, vermisse ich das Essen. Demnächst gibt es auch afrikanische Speisen, was ich dann unbedingt auch probieren werde.

klein, gemütlich und sehr sympathisch unser Stammlokal immer Montags aus gutem Grund 😘

Essen schmeckt Super und sehr gemütlich

Großartiges Essen zu einem guten Preis. Besonders die Nudeln sind der Hammer :D
