Café Kardamom in Berlin

The best Persian food I've had in Germany so far. Everything is homemade and as delicious as if it came from my mother's hand. The food is a 12 out of 10, as is the service. Best wishes and see you very soon ❤️❤️❤️

The food is very tasty and it really feels like home

Delicious and authentic food, perfect kardamon tea

This is a really cute little family-run place with delicious Iranian dishes that taste like in Iran. The service is super friendly. It took a little bit long, so you shouldn't be in a hurry. But it's all freshly prepared, so it's worth the wait.

I’m not gonna lie, this is one of my favorite cafe restaurants in Berlin. Great food, great people, great vibe, and oh my god the owners are so damn nice. I just wish the place was a bit bigger. I love all the food they make. They usually have different options each day, so it’s a good idea to call and check what they have before you go. They also make an amazing “kale pache” but you need to preorder it. And don’t miss their “halim” which is available every Sunday.

Absolutely loved the kebab koobideh and halim at this cozy, family-run restaurant. The koobideh was perfectly seasoned—juicy, tender, and grilled to perfection. You could taste the care that went into every skewer. The halim was equally impressive: warm, comforting, and rich with flavor, like something a Persian mother would make. The hospitality was just as memorable—genuine and welcoming. A true hidden gem that feels like home.

Really lovely family-run Iranian spot. The kebab and Ash were both delicious—felt really authentic and comforting. The owner was super friendly too. Definitely planning to come back soon.

Very cute cafe/restaurant with warm and authentic service! Very familiar and an absolute recommendation!

We discovered this café/restaurant by chance. It is a treasure trove for the palate. If you want an authentic Persian restaurant, just come here. It definitely deserves its 4.8 stars. It is Cozy and very nice condition. There is no menu as every day there are daily specials such as, kebab, ghorme sabzi, gheyme bademjun, akber juje... and everything is prepared very freshly. I can only highly recommend homemade Iranian cakes with rose water with almonds and nuts. All meals are also available to take away.

One of the best Persian Cousine with the food taste like Home

Für unsere Verteidigungsfeier haben wir verschiedene Iranische Gerichte von diesem Restaurant bestedlt, darunter Kashk-e Bademjan, verschiedene Sorten Mast und Borani (Rote Bete, Aubergine, Spinat, Knoblauch), Börek, Wurst, Sambouseh, Dolmeh, Kotlet und auf ihre Empfehlung hin auch Schami Lori. Sie haben uns even Brot dazugegeben. Da wir nicht waren Berlin, haben sie uns freundlicherweise Servierschalen zur Verfügung gestellt und uns beim Arrangieren gehelpen. Die Besitzer waren unbelievably patient, friendly and attentive - fast wie Familienmitglieder! Die Qualität der Speisen was excellent and tasted like homemade. Auch die Preise waren sehr fair. Als wir am Abend die Schalen zurückbrachten, wurden wir mit Tea und Rosinenkeksen besälteit. A wonderful experience! I hope that I can go back to Berlin soon and visit this fantastic restaurant. . . For the defense ceremony, we ordered several types of Iranian food from this restaurant, including eggplant curd, various types of yogurt and burani (onion, eggplant, spinach, shallot), burek, sausage, samosa, dolme, cutlet, and at their suggestion, Shami Lori. Along with the food, they kindly brought us bread. Since we were not in Berlin, they not only provided us with dishes to serve food, but also helped to set the table. Their behavior was extremely friendly and kind, just like family members The quality of the food was unique and its taste was like home cooking. The price was also very fair. At night, when we returned the dishes, they welcomed us with tea and raisin biscuits. It was a great experience and I hope to visit this restaurant again.

The aroma of croissants and coffee filled the entire square in front of this small, cozy café, so I invited myself here for breakfast. They have a wide selection of fresh croissants at really great prices. I highly recommend you try it!

Very friendly place. Just reminded me of being at home with my family and mom’s food. The food is very delicious and the cafe is very cosy. Can’t recommend it enough 💚

That was great. We had breakfast (Halim) there. The quantity, quality and the price were really good. The staff were sooo friendly and kind. We will be there for sure next time again🪷

great food, very nice people, highly recommended.

Best place to eat Iranian food in Berlin!

Nice small and cousy place to dine with delicious foods.

Second time here! The food is so delicious and authentic! The owners are Iranians and it is a family restaurant! I will go more often!

Beautiful (I guess) Persian breakfast experience! Superb cardamom tea! Delicate, fragrant, very light saffron cake! I think no butter, but really worth trying! Bullgur (I hope it's spelled like this) is new for me, but absolutely worth repeating! Spicy tasty! To be repeated and recommended!

Very cozy and nice people and food were great!

Very friendly people and delicious homemade Iranian food :)

Delicious food and very nice staff 🤩

I went to this cafe restaurant for the first time today and I have to say that the food was really delicious! I feel like I'm at home, very local food, very nice service and the music is typically Persian! 🥰 It definitely won't be the last time I come here. Definitely recommended!

I had a fantastic experience at this Iranian restaurant! Everything was just perfect - the food was incredibly tasty, fresh and authentic. The ambience was very pleasant and the staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive. They really welcomed us with their warmth. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy Persian cuisine. An absolute insider tip!

Very nice café, very tasty food and a super warm atmosphere. Big recommendation

Stayed open for ages until everyone was gone, gave huge portions. We came with a Persian friend and she loved it!

Lovely home cooked meals. Great cookies

Amazing food, service! Very friendly and cozy. It felt like you were invited to join a family dinner. Very delicious and fresh food. I recommend the Rashte soup, and the daily available dishes.

Great food Friendly and lovely staff Best Persian homemade dishes

A very good restaurant. The selection is small but the quality is high

Great home made Persian dishes, friendly atmosphere, highly recommended.

I had ‘Kardamom’ on my radar for the longest time and we finally visited on a lovely autumn day. With nostalgic Iranian Persian songs playing in the background and unpretentious vibes, this place takes one home. We had Halim and Kabab-e Tabeie and both had been prepared with love and were super flavorful. The menu is small and changes daily but I don’t find it lacking. I would wholeheartedly recommend this lovely location. Note: Cash-only.

Best Persian food in Berlin. I feel home at Kardamom Cafe.Nice service, great atmosphere,lovely People and delicious food👌

Very tasty food! Had a meat and vegan eggplant dish. Change available dishes. We'll be back!

The food was really great we tried kabab and kashk bademjan . They were really delicious actually if you miss home cook , I definitely recommended to try the foods of this restaurant 🌸

Treat yourself to delicious homemade Persian cuisine, crafted with exceptional quality and care. If you're looking for an authentic taste that brings you closer to the rich flavors of Persian cooking, this is the best place in town. The people are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere. However, the service could benefit from a bit more support, as adding extra staff for serving would enhance the overall experience.

Amazing food!! The staff is super nice and everything was delicious

Best food at the best price in Berlin.

Extremely kind and warm people make this place perfect. We loved the food so much. Thank you!!

Looking for authentic home-made Iranian dishes? here is the best place for you☺️🌿✨🫖 friendly host and welcoming atmosphere☕️

We tried “Chelo Kabab”. A generous portion Very tasty😋 Very nice staff Recommended 👍🏻👌🏻

The most delicious Iranian food in Berlin

Positive points: - Great food! We tried “shami lori” and it was just great! I highly recommend it. Also we had kebab that was also of high quality. Rice was also of good quality. :)) - Delicious and fresh cookies! 🍪 - They were very kind, and we had a very positive feeling there. Things to improve: The appearance of the cafe does not deliver this message of cleanness. I hope they improve it, because the food is very good that it is a pity if the appearance and cleanness of the restaurant is not that strong. Because of the food and the waiters and the chef for cooking such delicious foods, I recommend this place. But if you are looking for a fancy and super clean cafe, you might be a bit disappointed.

Delicious, quality, authentic with a homemade food vibe.

We go to this café almost every week. It has super friendly staff, unbeatable prices, and best persian dishes in Berlin. They usually have 2-3 dishes for each day of week. You can see the menu on their Instagram page, or simply call and ask. Tip 1: It's a place to chill, not rush. Tip 2: If you go there in the weekend, it's better to call and make sure they have room for you.

Cozy cafe with good persian homemade food and warm hearted staff.

Best Persian, Iranian food i have ever tasted all EUROPE :) Highly recommended 👌🏼

I had a lunch here with a friend of mine who suggested this café. He told me that the food is changing regularly, so we ordered what they served for the day. We were served tea and cookies first and then came our food. This was a food to remember, a food that made me feel things. There isn’t a place in Berlin where I had such a delicious food before that brought me back to my childhood in an instance. Everything is fresh and the spices they use are just so on point. The stew was so warm and everything in it was so tender I could cry of happiness. Definitely worth the visit. Incredibly kind service. Cosy atmosphere.

A restaurant with good food, with excellent service

Really great food with hospitality

The best Persian cuisine in Berlin!!! Very good food, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. I always enjoy going to Café Kardamom and can only recommend it to everyone.

Friendly culture, unique foods, Beyond other persian restaurants in Berlin...

Cafe Kardamom is one of the best restaurants and cafe I've ever visited in Berlin. The foods are amazing and delicious, also the staff are really friendly and welcoming. I absolutely recommend this place to you if you want to experience a cozy place with great food.

Very tasty home-made food and very friendly service. We recommend.

Tasty and nice! We recommend :)

Although I haven't tried any of the main dishes, I was extremely happy with the service and the atmosphere. I had an "Ash Reshteh" twice there and every time it tasted great, just as I expected. The staff there are very kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place for an evening chill with family and friends.

Lovely lively likely friendly tasty attractively place

What incredibly good food! Rarely have I eaten such excellent Persian cuisine. The staff is super friendly. Under no circumstances should you leave the restaurant without a dessert, it simply rounds off the good meal perfectly. We felt very comfortable there with our baby and were given a table that had plenty of space for the stroller. Absolute recommendation!

If you want to experience Persian homemade food . Also they have food from Lorestan which is a rare thing and you can’t even find it in restaurants in Iran . The sisters who run the restaurant are super nice and generous .

WOW! We were there spontaneously today and have to say that the food there was really, really good. The menu is very plain and simple, there isn't always everything, but since almost everything was sold out, the nice woman prepared something for us again, and by far the best meal I've had at an Iranian restaurant in a long time (Shami Lori ) a culinary delight. The service was great and the food was a 10/10. We'll definitely be back.

A cozy and perfect place to spend time with friends or family. The food has the taste of homemade food and reminds one of home. The best and most important thing is the very, very good behavior of the restaurant owners. They are very kind, warm and lovely and this is the reason that makes you want to come back again.

The food here might be similar to other Iranian restaurants, but the vibe it has is much better than the rest!

Halal Persian cafe It was so authentic and the flavours were so refreshing. It's a small setup so waiting times can be a bit longer.

One of the worst coffe I have ever had in my life

Honestly I've been to many Iranian restaurants since I left Iran and I've never felt more like home in Berlin than tonight. Very very welcoming staff, great authentic Kabab Tabei and a very cozy place. 100% I'll be coming back here many more times.

Delicious Persian food, so glad we have this gem in the neighbourhood!

I have been to Café Kardamom twice in a few days. The first time my partner and I dined on kebab and lubiah polo which were delicious. Not all dishes on the menu are available every day, but I consider this as a further guarantee of the tastiness and care used in the ingredients at Café Kardamom. The second time we ate their wonderful breakfast. The staff are friendly and helpful and the environment is very pleasant. I hope to return soon, places like this are good for the spirit and liveliness of the neighborhood!

Tried one of the nice Iranian restaurants in Berlin. Had a great time there. Service was excellent, beginning with a cup of tea, followed by a wait for the food. It took a bit, but the quality and freshness were worth it. I had fish with vegetable rice, and it tasted delicious.

Small and cozy place serving delicious Persian delights. Food was tasty but not all options from the menu card were available. Less options for vegan/ vegetarian people. But place is very cozy and owners are welcoming. Lamb cooked in walnut and apple sauce was very tasty.

It was quite okay. Only the toilet and the anteroom with cloakroom didn't please me.

Whenever i eat there i just feel like home. Highly recommended the best Iranian food i ever had in Berlin.

The chicken with barberry rice was amazing. The staff were super friendly. Sometimes there's a bit of delay in serving the food but it's still such a great place to dine in.

Good quality, friendly staff and delicious food

Welcoming, friendly with homemade cooking. Normally it takes time to get your food, better to have no rush 😉 expect a long wait.

Not only delicious mum cooked food, you can even play games and the atmosphere is perfect for a friendly party for max 20 person

Looking for a proper Halim in Berlin here is the place on Sunday! They have vegetarian halim as well. You need to order it on Saturday.

This cafe restaurant has a very friendly and lovely atmosphere. Here you will enjoy eating delicious Iranian food with kind shopkeepers and Iranian atmosphere.

After 20 years of being vegetarian, I had the veggie version of Halim for the first time in my life. I've forgotten the original taste of Halim, but it tastes good.

Delicious meal, very friendly staff

I loved this restaurant. As a Persian, I definitely suggest this place. It reminded me of my mom's cooking. The staff also was very nice and gentle.

Update 2: Visit cardamom recently and tried their aubergine dish, very yummy. ------ Update 1: I can't say enough about how accommodative and hospitable the staff is 🙏 This time I tried Shaami Kebab and Halim and both tasted fantastic 😍😋 I should also add that Kardamom prepares the food daily and fresh 🌱 Cash only 💵 ----- The staff is friendly and the food is freshly prepared for the day and served just like homemade home. They also bake Persian pastry like Napoleonish sweet (did I use the correct name? 😀), and offer traditional Persian drinks as well. There are some tiny bits that can be improved: - The bowl of Abgoosht was completely filled in, and I appreciate that they do it out of kindness, but it was inconvenient to then mix it with the bread. So I'd say if it was filled just 70% would have been much easier. - When the guest chooses to make the "Goosht-kubideh" by themselves, I suggest providing them with something similar to the traditional pot used in Iran. The bowl they provided could easily break and as they had out two portions in the same bowl, it didn't have any space to maneuver and mix the contents 😅 - I think the bread offered wasn't fully baked.

Eine tolle iranische home-made Küche. Sehr leckere Gerichte, gute Qualität und angemessene Preise. Leckere Tee und Cookies. Sehr nette Personal und Bedienung.

Don't be fooled if they call themselves 'Café' (most probably because of their small space): for most of the customers it is a wonderful restaurant where you can experience the original taste of Persian cuisine.

Mein Freund und ich waren wirklich begeistert, dass wir in Berlin iranische home-made Küche genießen konnten, sowohl vegetarisch, als auch nicht vegetarisch. Wir haben uns über inklusiven Tee und die iranischen Cookies sehr gefreut. Die Begrüßung und der Service waren warm und freundlich. Gerne wieder, wenn wir es nach Berlin schaffen.

Fantastic family owned Persian Cafe with unique atmosphere.

Best homemade food in the town! Lovely staff, it feels like home♥️ can not wait to be there again

Delicious Persian food + super friendly staff = great experience

Wow, wow, they are amazing and the food so delicious 😋

Very good traditional food, nice people and great homely atmosphere.

Auf jeden Fall wieder sehr lecker

The food was fresh and good, the atmosphere was really good and friendly, we were greeted with free tea and persian raisin cookies.🥰🫠

Everything was perfect Hi quality food and kind staff

Das Essen war unglaublich lecker, und das Personal war sehr sehr freundlich! Man fühlt sich zu Hause und willkommen ✨❤️👌

Wirklich authentisches Persisches Essen. Wunderbar. Toller Service, schöne familiäre Atmosphäre. Eine Bereicherung für den Kiez. DANKE

Quite a unique experience, food was also good:)

Delicious Persian food in a super cozy little restaurant with amazing people. Lots of vegetarian meals you can't find anywhere else.

Das Essen war super lecker, die Leute dort mega nett. Ich finde das Ambiente schwierig zu beschreiben und denke, dass das noch schöner gestaltet wird ;-)

Best Iranian food in the town. As iranian, whenever I eat here it reminds me of Iran 😍😍😍😍

Cafe Cardamon hat mich mit ihrem köstlichen Ghormeh Sabzi beeindruckt! Die Geschmacksrichtungen waren genau richtig, und das Gericht wurde dampfend heiß serviert. Die Atmosphäre des Cafés war gemütlich und einladend, was es zu einem perfekten Ort machte, um eine herzhafte Mahlzeit zu genießen. Das Personal war aufmerksam und gab großartige Empfehlungen. Ich habe meine Essenserfahrung hier sehr genossen und werde auf jeden Fall zurückkommen, um mehr von ihren köstlichen persischen Gerichten auszuprobieren. Ghormeh Sabzi-Liebhaber sollten sich diese Perle nicht entgehen lassen!

Lovely, home cooking feels. The aubergine was cooked to perfection. They even served the tea with a little treat. Definitely will be back to try more dishes!
