Café Pilz in Berlin

Very delicious vegan food! A good selection of dishes, everything is beautifully presented, the service is super friendly, and the prices are right :) I'll definitely be back and will recommend it!

Tapas from the Levante, neat. Surprisingly delicious, have to go again to try the rest of the menu ;-)

Incredibly delicious food and friendly service! I'd love to come back!

Unfortunately all the dishes we ordered were served fridge cold. I guess if it would have been a little warmer it would have tasted better. The service was alright and at least the food was served very quickly.

What a wonderful evening! Thanks so much for an easy and flexible oganization upfront, the beautiful decorations, very attentive waiters and extremely delicious food!!

long live cafe pilz! i honestly can recommend everything on their menu — we tried their new green beans on top of the usual (hummus, potatoes, etc) and it was simply delightful. 🤤 highly recommend their oat date syrup kukurma latte, a real treat during these autumnal seasons 🍂🍂🍂

Extremely good vegetarian Mediterranean food. Every bite was great, highly recommend!

The food is of the highest quality! A festival of natural flavors!

my comfort place omg everything is so good

Best neighbourhood restaurant ever. Love you guys!!

Absolutely delicious! We were there for the first time today, and the food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were super friendly. Definitely recommend it!

Wow! Beautiful little restaurant with a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. Great service and amazing food to share. We live too far away to come back every week and it's a shame!

Very cosy Spot, Food is delicious and the Service very courteous. We definitly will come back. Thank You for a very nice evening

Amazing food, nice atmosphere, just a bit steep prices, so id you're fine with it, you'll enjoy the place 🌿

Really yummy, chilled and unpretentious. We had some “golden milk with dates syrup” which was just perfect for an autumn day 😊 I really appreciate this place. The staff is friendly, gave us recommendations, jokes and smiles. Easy going nice vibes.

Warm, inviting neighborhood spot bustling with enthusiastic conversation over perfect plates.

Overpriced and underwhelming in terms of taste - service was also rude

The food is great and I’ll probably come back, but I’m giving one star because they charge €0.30 for oat milk in coffee. It makes no sense at all for a place where all the food is plant-based.

We reserved the private room for a birthday party, and it was truly wonderful! The food was delicious, the service excellent, and the ambiance truly magical! Thank you for the lovely evening!

Try the potatoes with herb aioli. And the hummus. And the spicy aubergine. Pro tip: come with 3 or 4 and just order the entire menu. The sharing plates concept really works at Café Pilz, besides, their wines – both conventional and natural, for the love of a chilled red – are niiiiice.

I rented the private room for the evening as part of my birthday celebration – a wonderful experience. The team goes to great lengths to create a very pleasant, comfortable atmosphere. Thank you so much! The food is always excellent!

I've been coming to this place often since it opened and it suprises to see that, although they've grown and opened other places and are increasinglypopular, the quality of the food has continued to be impeccable. Ingredients of quality, well curated and small menu, amazing wines, not pretentious... you can tell they care about their food. Keep it up Pilz!

Very tasty Levantine food, the wine was also good, though it was too cold when it arrived at the table. We had it for the time being. You can sit inside or outside, but it's very loud (like many Berlin restaurants, unfortunately, the acoustics are poor) and the tables are quite close together, so you can hear everything from the next table. So, it's more for social evenings than private conversations. Our highlights were the green bean salad and the cauliflower baba ganoush!

Amazing food to share with friends :)

Absolutely delicious. A vast and great selection of mezze to enjoy alone or with friends. Hummus was great and fresh, Zerrissene Kartoffeln were perfect and tasty, and the Brotsalat was also a highlight! The bread is absolutely divine. Very nice setting, if only a bit cramped if you're eating at the counter. Book a table in advance to avoid this issue altogether. The music is light and enjoyable. The service is fast and the crew is adorable. A great place!

Every time I go here, every single bite at this place is always a delight. It can feel a tiny bit disorganized but I think that's more due to the layout than the staff's fault, and they were lovely. Highly recommend ordering one of everything on the menu (except the potatoes. Always order 2x potatoes!)

The food and atmosphere was so nice, we always love it! Service is very friendly, however we had to always go and ask, it was a bit slow, specially thinking that one can only rent the private room for 2.5 hours max, we expected things to move faster.. Overall it is a very nice location, maybe they need more staff because of the crowd.

A real discovery Café Pilz is not, as its name might suggest, a coffee house. Rather, it's a small, fine restaurant or bistro dedicated to Levantine cuisine, and it's quite something! Hummus, labneh, babaganoush, pomegranate-garnished dishes with bulgur (?).. Creamy, crunchy, spicy, sweet and sour, and everything fresh, colorful, healthy, and vegan (without making you feel like you're missing out on anything). Wow! The finest ingredients, refined with classic Middle Eastern spices, prepared with super freshness – and all at extremely reasonable prices. Add to that superb service, you get good advice, get to sample wines, and don't have to wait long (even when lots of people arrive at once...). Where else can you find something like this in Berlin? My absolute recommendation! We'll be back soon!

Delicious, high quality food and always a friendly team – love this place!

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and offers a charming interior and delicious snacks like hummus, labneh, bread salad, and much more! Please note that the interior can be noisy.

Great tasting food, good service. The hummus is creamy and delicious 😋

Totally recommend this place! The food is outstanding, super fresh and tasty, the service 10 out of 10. Great atmosphere! Must go!

Everything is great! Nice people, wonderful menu, hard to choose, it's all great. Perfect B-day diner ❤️

Tasty dish, fresh produce, perhaps a little expensive for the quantity.

Really nice place to get some small plates of Middle Eastern food. The place itself is nice to sit at, too. Everything was great!

Wonderful wonderful wonderful, what else you could say

Never disappointed by Cafe Pilz - every dish is wonderful. Looking forward to going back! Make sure you book a table.

One of the best place where I ate. It's was so good that we came 2 times during our journey to discover the second part of the menu. The food is perfectly done and served by a warmfull team. Strongly advice this place to anyone who enjoy middle east food and sharing meals.

Worst service – good food can’t make up for that. We arrived as a big group to celebrate a friends birthday and the rude staff really ruined the mood for everyone. Every single staff member we spoke to had an attitude for no reason, was not helpful or friendly at all. When asking about hazel nuts for allergy reasons they freaked and said it’s rude to not mention that with your reservation already. She explained that they won’t clean the kitchen tools and other things again and can’t make sure there’s no nuts in any of the dishes. As we ordered the full menu twice as a big group they already knew in advance what we wanted so they kind of immediately served food before we even had a chance to order drinks. Oh and the whole thing about not standing outside on the pathway for a minute is just ridiculous. So maybe the tables should be ready on time to avoid that instead of calling people out for waiting for their table. Later that evening one staff member brushed one our friends by the shoulder when walking past calling him an a******. I’ve never experienced something like this before and therefore can’t recommend going there. That’s a shame, because the food itself is good. But at the end of the day you’re going out for dinner for the experience – and that’s one thing that Café Pilz clearly isn’t serving.

Best hummus I've ever had. Crispy, soft potatoes with their skins on. Congratulations to everyone.

You won't find anything better than this!

Really fun. Loved the whine bar next to it.

Very good food, but terrible mention for the service and welcome. I felt that I was disturbing the minute I arrived, I was asked to wait outside (I hadn't read the sign that said to wait outside, my fault) but the art and the manner.... The waiter addressed me in a very condescending manner. He then ignored me for about ten minutes, walking past me repeatedly, but took the time to go see everyone, take new orders, chat. Instead of kindly coming to warn me that there would be a wait (which I would have heard, with a smile). You can tell that some are better received than others. I felt humiliated! Fortunately the other waiters were pleasant, and the food was good!

Superb food, fantastic service, worth a detour

Highly recommended place! There were 3 of us and even though we didn't have a reservation, and it was all full outside, they managed to find us a seat at the counter. We ordered 5 dishes (+ free water and bread) and we were full at the end (so don't be scared if the portions seem small). They took us a little while to make the dishes but as soon as they arrived we understood why: each dish was taken care of down to the smallest detail and each one was bursting with flavors. But above all the thing we liked the most was the bread: warm, crispy outside and soft with a cloud inside, I'm still dreaming about it! The only thing I feel like reporting is the lack of air conditioning, and so it was a bit hot inside. But anyway you absolutely have to go there!

The dishes we shared were absolutely delicious and so was the wine! Super friendly service and loved the vibe.

Everything was super delicious but torn potatoes, mujadara and spicy hot aubergines were special.

Beautiful café with a great atmosphere! The coffee was aromatic and perfectly prepared, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. The homemade cake was a particular highlight – highly recommended! I'll definitely be back.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff and amazing food. Most favourite place to eat in Berlin.

Super nice service, very flexible, friendly, and prompt. Thank you! Good food, great atmosphere! Good prices.

I stumbled upon the restaurant by chance. It looks very unassuming, but the other guests' dishes looked very appealing. Small vegetarian portions (€7-9). We tried three and a dessert. Everything was very good, and the staff was friendly. We'd be happy to go back.

I can highly recommend the place for a super tasty brunch, def order the potatoes and the Labneh 😉 Tiny, little feedback: it would be nice if the non-diary milk would be without extra charge

It was perfect! Full recommendation!

The food was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and varied. The service was also great, and the food and drinks arrived very quickly. The only thing we didn't like was that you can only reserve seats inside, and even if you request them, you can only stay inside. But otherwise, highly recommended <3

One of my favourite places in Berlin! Incredible delicious food & wine, charming staff and easy vibes! Especially previous find for vegans ;)!!!

The food is absolutely amazing. The flavors are original and the ingredients are very fresh. The combinations of flavors are creative and tasty. We particularly enjoyed the beetroot salad.

Great food(good for sharing), cute place, quick and friendly service and lastly reasonable pricing

Very nice cafe and fast service. Everything is vegan, which we were very pleased with. We especially liked the bread, labneh, and majadara, and we would gladly come back.

Super tasty menu, super friendly staff. Love the decor also.

Delicious food, cute atmosphere, nice service. Definitely recommend for an evening with friends to share.

Very, very delicious! Labneh to die for.

it’s a nice place but the guests are always blocking the sidewalk. edit: i’m glad that you try to avoid the problem but i don’t see how being too busy cause people blocking the sidewalk like i saw once again a few hours earlier today (photo). don’t they all have a table to sit at? some of them don’t even care to move when you try to walk through.

Once you start, you can't stop.

lovely cozy place with the most delicious menu ever! never miss a chance to go to pilz!

Phenomenal meal. Ordered the entire menu with our group. Favorites were: roasted potatoes, labneh, and tahini.

Mostly meze/appetizers, but smartly chosen and attentively cooked. Good orange-ish wine. Nice service. Good coffee.

Loved this place! Sooo many good dishes. Mujadara to die for. And very cute staff. We’ll be back soon

We ordered six items. It was amazing! The price/performance ratio was outstanding! 😊

It's light and healthy, but so delicious🥹

Good food, good service, cozy atmosphere. However, I'm giving it four stars because I find the prices quite high (e.g., a bread basket for almost €6 – that's pretty steep! Things are getting increasingly crazy in Berlin... will it soon be like London?) There's also a time limit – you can only reserve a table for about 1.5 hours. Of course, this was communicated in advance, but it's still unpleasant, especially when you get a reminder 20 minutes before closing time that you have to vacate the table soon – it puts you under pressure. I'd say: not ideal if you want to spend a relaxing evening with friends. But if you want to enjoy good food in a limited time, this is definitely the place for you.

As a group of 12, we rented the small adjoining room. The food was delicious, and the service was, as always, very friendly. Someone came by regularly to check on us. Favorites include labneh, the hot eggplant, the potatoes, and the frekeeh. It was a relaxed space, with enough room for everyone. We'd love to go back!

Loved everything! Food is delicious, vibe is fun, staff is super lovely. Can’t wait for the next visit.

First time here at the recommendation of friends who had been at the Imbiss. Between 5 of us, we ordered the entire menu to share. Didn’t realize in advance that everything, including the halva ice cream, was vegan. All plates beautifully presented and delicious. Friendly and knowledgeable service. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazes every time. One of my, if not my favorite spots in the city. Bravo to the kitchen and love to the crew being so charming despite their rush.

The iced flat white and the food are terrific!

Ate here several times and was NEVER disappointed. Everything at the highest level. Meanwhile, in Lisbon, Vienna, Vilnius, Riga and other places I recently visited, restaurants serving Israeli food are increasingly receiving poor reviews. If you take a closer look, these are often actions by people who project their hatred of Israel into these restaurants and in fact have no hand or foot. So don't jump too quickly to anti-Semitic negative reviews of Israeli restaurants!

Nice place to share some tapas! Small portions, so it‘s perfect for a sitting around while snacking meal.

A must when you’re here in Berlin!! Very romantic place with cute staff and amazing food!

Really good Food and Kind Service

lovley, hipster atmosphere, price per dish 6-8€, recommended ordering from 1.5 to 2 dishes, great coffee, super rich and creamy hummus, potatoes well-seasoned with a truly wonderful sauce! would recommend!

A hipster place with great atmosphere. The food was delicius, I was there for brunch, the coffee was also very good. Definitely reccommend!

Amazing! Will definitely come back soon.🙏🏼

It's a nice place. The menu suits our taste. We went specifically for the hummus. Along with hummus, we also ordered roasted potatoes and beet roots. Portions are smaller than normal but the taste is superb. The bread is warm and very tasty.

The setting is very unusual, the dishes are delicious. The cuisine perfectly combines the different flavors, the result is incredible. Special mention to the humus and bread, one of the best I have ever tasted I would come back without hesitation

Great food, everything is cooked perfectly. I loved every dish. Love the vibe, perfect for a diner with friends !

Absolutely sickening never eat here!!

One of the few reliable constants in Berlin’s ever-changing culinary landscape. I’ve already celebrated two birthdays here—including my 30th—because there’s simply no other place with this kind of atmosphere, quality vegan food, and such fair prices. Please never change.

Tapas meet Mezze - cute concept and tasty food. Will definitely dome back.

Everything was amazing. The vibe, all the food, service and price performance 👌🏽 will definitely come often!

Best food, fresh, DELICIOUSSSSS. Hummus, potatoes, egg plants with freshest herbs. And... to die for - Malabi for dessert. An absolute delight. We will come back for Sure.

Delicious food, and the private room is perfect for birthday dinners.

Best Israeli restaurant in town for sure

Nice food. "Tapas" style. Must try. better to book in advance.

We had a great lunch experience in a separate room on the occasion of a private birthday. The table was lovingly set and the atmosphere was pleasantly private. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was not only tasteful but also beautifully presented - perfect for sharing so everyone could enjoy whatever they wanted. Completely successful!

Very tasty Israeli tapas and very nice service

Tiny bite-sized portions that are not justified by the price, no pita bread was served, hummus tasted very watered down. If you want to eat a meal and be satisfied better go some other place..

Super super delicious food and nice atmosphere! We ordered almost everything on the menu once and would do it again and again.

You can leave the flea market charm aside but the food was world class! Great dishes and everything tasted great. Hummus: Hummus has to be creamy and I have rarely eaten such creamy hummus: great consistency, strong! Price-performance absolutely fine!

Excellent Israeli food can only be recommended. Hot eggplant is particularly good.

It's best to make a reservation in the evening, otherwise you'll have to wait a bit and you might not get the best table. The food and service are both great.
