Café Pilz in Berlin

We had a wonderful lunch experience in a private room for a private birthday celebration. The table was lovingly set and the atmosphere was pleasantly intimate. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented – perfect for sharing, so everyone could enjoy what they wanted. A complete success!

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.

Absolutely incredible food, easily the best we've had in Berlin. Everything is vegan too! We had our baby and dog along and were treated very well.

Very cozy restaurant with a relatively small menu, but it packs a punch! It's best to order two to three dishes per person and then share them together. The shop is very popular - reservations are advisable. Particularly noteworthy are the nice employees.

Super friendly, relaxed and courteous service. The food was very tasty and special!

Friendly service, very tasty tapas, portions are manageable, great wine selection, a bit tight - every space is used.

always an incredible experience. food, service, ambience - perfect! thank you :)

Best best best dining experience for my bday. I’d recommend everyone to hire out their dining space for their special celebration - food, vibes and service is immaculate :)

Super delicious food at affordable prices. Friendly service. Small, full, friendly shop. There were six of us and we shared everything and were all fed cheaply. Top!

I can confirm a previous guest's review. We weren't served either, and I also felt a passive-aggressive vibe from the employee with brown hair. After about 15 minutes. Wait, we left frustrated. Even though I really enjoyed the food on a previous visit, I don't feel like getting involved in such unkind hospitality again.

We loved our evening at Cafe Pilz! We‘ve been multiple times to Pilz and it has never disappointed: the staff is friendly, service is quick and the food and drink‘s quality is amazing! We can recommend every dish on the menu, but especially the hummus, the cauliflower and the kalesalad (caution: spicy!) are gorgeous. If you‘re looking for a cozy atmosphere, great food and drinks and all of this with very reasonable prices: you found your place to go.

Best Israeli vegetarian food in a relaxed Berlin atmosphere

Incredibly silky and creamy hummus, best Muhammara I‘ve had in Berlin and Labneh to indulge in. Yalla 10/10, honestly was amazed by how good it was. Also, the bread? So delicious? Idk what they are doing to it but just order extra bread, so good. Will definitely come back. 🙂‍↕️

So delicious, nice space, wonderful staff

That was by far the most delicious food since I don’t know when 🥺 the service was super nice and friendly. What a lovely place. ‏תודה רבה. להתראות ♥️

Everything we ate was delicious, but the portions are small in relation to the cost. It’s a place to order many things and share like Tapas.

The food is super delicious, I’ve tried different places that offer hummus and other aubergine dips, but this one is by far one of my favourites. I also couldn’t believe that the Labneh was vegan, it really tasted like normal Greek yogurt. The only negative point is that we usually have to wait 20min WITH reservation, which is quite terrible. Especially since the entrance is very narrow and there is a lot of movement, so you just feel super awkward and uncomfortable… And on top of that, we also got asked to leave cause some other clients were waiting for our table, even tho we barely stayed for 1h 😅

Super chill café, a spontaneous stroke of luck! Always good.

So far my favorite vegan place on my current trip to Berlin. Great taste and vibe. Make sure to make a reservation.

It could be due to my personal preference for food in general, but unfortunately it didn't entirely convince me. Service and atmosphere was also a bit chaotic

The dishes are very tasty but extremely overrated in a very narrow space and approximately chaotic service

I stopped by there spontaneously and ordered the hummus. It was super quick and the hummus and bread were delicious! Recommended :)

A place you’ll want to spend some time with good friends at. Food was so good - I mean really good! Staff super relaxed and accommodating. Giving 3 star for atmosphere just cause it gets rather loud when crowded - thank you for everything cafe Pilz.

Super delicious food, very nice atmosphere and great selection. We'd love to come back :)

Super delicious!! Simple and cozy. and not expensive

I have been frequenting their restaurant and bistro for a while now, but renting their private space for a pre-NYE gathering still added that extra bit of magic dust to the equation. We were 17 (the room officially has space for up to 18), had ample space, and ordered about 3 times the whole menu plus some for a family style dining experience. I can recommend their orange wine (not the Georgian, the other choice) highly, the wine selection is pretty nice overall though, and their food was other worldly as always with elaborated flavor and texture profiles. Super friendly and attentive waiters, needless to say everyone had a memorable and wholesome night and the final bill came out way cheaper than expected. 10/10, really couldn't have asked for more.

Great food - but surprisingly little with mushrooms hahaha

Hands down the best hummus I've had till date. Nothing beats it. Bread complimented the super-hummus really well. The portion sizes are small which i really like. This doesn't make you feel full till the brim. So just perfect. There is a really nice person behind the counter who makes drinks. Thanks to him for a great service 🙏

100/10, nothing more to say. Go and enjoy!!

Delicious vegan Tapas, we loved it!!

I strongly recommend hummus, labneh and majadara. The place is cozy, people are kind.

Excellent food and very cozy atmosphere.

Loved the food , the service and the atmosphere!!! Fast service, delicious and fresh food and amazing wine, and the waiter was super helpful when we asked for recommendations! U should pay a visit, its worth it!

Restaurant lacks any character, another rip off of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Super tasty and cheap! We had many small dishes and each one was uniquely delicious! The coconut pudding dessert was unbeatable, so creamy and flavorful. You can tell that the ingredients are of very high quality. Highly recommended!

Amazing israeli food and minimal but good wine selection. Place is cute and cozy but on Saturday gets easily packed and you might have to seat on a high chair and share the table. Still worth the visit even on busy day as food and service are top notch.

Over priced, hipster, fusion Israeli food in a tiny restaurant with pretentious waiters and clientele. The only good thing is that you can pay with card. Expect a long wait

A wonderfully cozy and delicious evening in November.

The best of all Israeli restaurants with the most selection. Incredibly delicious!!! We tried 7 dishes and all of them were simply amazing.

Great dishes and fair prices. We were particularly impressed by the fresh bread with hummus and labneh. The desserts are also great!

The Café Pilz in Berlin is a real insider tip! The Israeli tapas are incredibly tasty - you'll need to try three to really fill you up, but every bite is totally worth the price. I also had tea that tasted wonderful. Particularly impressive: Everything is sustainable and completely vegan. A great culinary experience that I can recommend to everyone. Delicious and unique!

Absolutely super-amazingly flavourful! Fully vegan. Went back for both lunch and dinner the next day.

been here twice and was amazing both times. The hot eggplant dish is to die for.

We ordered almost the entire range of dishes and every single one was extremely tasty. The highlight was the lentil quinoa salad. The atmosphere and service were a bit lively and planned, so it's best to be a little more patient.

Food very tasty. Can only be recommended. But overall the staff is not really friendly and very inflexible. You can only order the food and drink that is on the menu.

Some of the tastiest food I have ever had! We are only in Berlin for one week, and we have already been to Cafe Pilz twice :)

So glad we took a friend’s recommendation to have lunch here. Such delicious and tasty food, definitely recommend it. Make sure to book ahead for lunch, can get busy.

Looks great, but we simply weren't served, were then spoken to in a completely unfriendly way and left without having accomplished anything. What a shame!

an experience that sent my taste buds on a journey longer than my last vacation! The hummus here? So creamy that I would love to use it as a skin care product. The falafel? Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside – almost as if they had outwitted physics. And the eggplant? Let's put it this way: after the first bite, I spontaneously started learning Hebrew. The staff is so friendly that I almost thought I was having dinner with my grandma. If you don't leave here full and happy, you've definitely done something wrong. I'm thinking about bringing my tent next time!"

Lovely place! They are always packed but we were lucky as we dropped by late and got a place for two. Highly reasonable prices, Levantine food exploding with flavors and textures, warm atmosphere and friendly staff. For me, one of the best Levantine restaurants in Berlin, and I’ve tried the best of the rest. Great hummus, tahini, roasted aubergine, torn potatoes and home-baked warm, soft and salty bread.

It would be best if you make a reservation before you go. Since we went without a reservation, we waited for 30-40 minutes, but it was worth it. The environment is small and very friendly. The food is quite delicious. The service is very fast. I definitely recommend it.

Extremely delicious, super fresh and vibrant atmosphere

Best Israeli restaurant I've tried in Berlin so far (only the hummus is a little better elsewhere, but that doesn't make it bad!) Unfortunately the door was left open the whole evening, so we were pretty cold because we were sitting right next to the entrance. Shouldn't be closed. OK. Stupid. But okay. I'll sit further in next time. Food was OUTSTANDING!!!!

Amazing food, the hummus is delicious! Lovely and very attentive service.

Cute vegetarian spot in Neukolln. Middle eastern food, with amazing wine. Price is good, service is good, food is great, will be back.

wow. WOW. WOW!!!!! what an absolute experience it was, the food and all the tastes were mindblowing, such a great place with such a nice atmosphere, this was my first time with this kind of cuisine and I am shocked, it surely is a must visit when it comes to food in Berlin!

Oh, what a lovely, cozy place. The food was delicious, the best lebneh I ever had in my life. The prices were really fair for the effort was put in; and the staff was positively so hospitable. Phillipe and Sachi were great hosts. I would strongly recommend this place.

it's the kind of place you come back to over and over again and every time it's just as good, just as cozy and just as special. the food is brilliant, the service is the best, always so kind and helpful, everything is done with passion and sincere love. I highly recommend it, a place where you feel at home, true gem. Thanks Pilz team 🩷

5 Stars no comments. Best food I had in months

One of my favorite shops in Berlin. Honest, cozy, tasty and also affordable. Feel-good place ❤️

Great vegetarian restaurant, everything is impeccable: the food, the service, the places, the prices… don’t have much to add besides DO MAKE RESERVATIONS before going. >>Dog friendly| vegetarian-vegan options | shared food

Good dishes ruined by terrible service; the waiters were rude and full of fake politeness; child unfriendly

Had to change my review because of the terrible service; especially the french guy

It was great! Awesome dishes , specially the coliflor, loved it ! The service was also great, everyone was kind and gave us great recommendations. Will definitely come back

The food was amazing, the flavors were very surprising in the best way. The service was also good, it’s a busy restaurant with a lot of people waiting but it didn’t bother me. We sat outside and this was very nice. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Berlin!

Amazing food for a super fair price! Looved the easy but welcoming atmosphere

Very good, no-frills Israeli, Levantine tapas and everything is completely vegan, including labneh. Service is very friendly and quick.

Tasty Israeli meze and delicious bread

I wonder if they actually cook or have a fridge, since all the food available at this place has neither undergone cooking or needs to be stored in a cool place. It's very basic, just enough to fill a vegan stomach.

Very tasty hummus. Unfortunately no card payment is possible at the moment.

Was super tasty Ordered a lot to share Bread was surprisingly good ❤️ Visit safe again!🥹

The bread was heaven. We really loved all of the healthy vegan food options even though me and my friend often tend to opt for a good piece of meat. Everything was very flavourful and rich in taste. There were a lot of wine options and some typical German other drinks. Free tapwater is always a plus. The restaurant is small but cosy.

This restaurant is amazing. 10/10

The food wasn't bad per se, but I had an upset stomach afterwards

Very fresh, well-seasoned Levantine cuisine in a minimalist, clean atmosphere. Very good price/performance ratio.

Such a shame to don't care about a person because it's just one person and so you don't even try to help cause other groups are waiting!! Rude blonde boy.

Best food I've had in Berlin, yummm

Really good food. Very good hummus. They also have a café and cake.

Really good food and nice atmosphere. Definitely try the potatoes and the halva ice cream!!

Exzellent food and friendly service. Everything was very flavorful

It was all extremely cute, good selection of food, wines and amazing ice lattes. There was a queue when we arrived, we ordered some coffees and we quickly moved up to be seated

The best israeli food i ever had outside of israel! Lovely presented, it felt like we’re being served by someones grandmother, all the dishes had a wonderful and perfectly balanced taste, the bread had a wonderful taste and make sure you leave some space for a dessert to share. that pudding with rosewater - like a dream. we were very happy about that dinner 🥰 Thank you!

Excellent food and friendly staff! I highly recommend it!

It seemed to me that the waiters are cordial to a specific target of clientele and not too much to other types that don’t match what they like.

groovy music and good food 🫰🏻definitely returning!

Mega delicious food with the freshest home-made food. Luckily everything is served on small plates so you can share many different dishes such as tapas. It was once again a change from the Middle, which have a very similar cuisine. Particularly worth highlighting here, even if it's difficult because everything is a taste experience, are the bean salad with lentils, the vegan labneh, the fried pepper paste and the dessert with rose water, berries and peanuts. There is also a well-stocked wine list here... Nice modern atmosphere in the hipster Schillerkiez...

Love the people. Love the food. Love the drinks. We're coming back! 😊🧡

Everything was very tasty, wish it was more normal to get a bottle of leitungs water! Some places charge 50 cent for it! And in such a hot weather it’s a necessity!!!

Food was amazing! Highly recommend the Hot Aubergine!

The potatoes, hummus, and cauliflower dishes were unreal, and service was impeccable.

Fair prices, friendly service and delicious food.

Very chic little Israeli restaurant with very tasty tapas-style dishes... friendly staff and everything else went very well 😊

Best Israeli vegetarian food in town, just great 🤤

Healthy, stylish and delicious! There was also craft beer from local breweries.

A little hidden champ in Neukölln. Off the big streets you can get the best levantine cuisine. Try make a reservation as it gets very busy. You can also book a quiet room for parties up to 16 people which I did and will be doing again. Service can sometimes be a bit slow when it’s fully booked but that doesn’t takes away from the great atmosphere. Everything is vegan. And order a lot of bread because ist soo good
