El Reda in Berlin

My favorite dish is shawarma on a plate with rice. Very tasty and filling!! Before this I never ate shawarma, I didn't like it 🙈 But now I've changed my mind. I'm also very happy with the free tea.

I was honestly disappointed with the food at this restaurant. Unlike the 4.5 stars on Google Maps, the food was totally average and even below average in some cases. Given the high rating, I had much higher expectations. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to them. It’s hard to understand why it has such a high rating.

Simple place with delicious food

It's a shame that you can't pay by card

Ordered to take away. The food is always excellent. The rice is delicious and the meat is on point.

This is the place where the restaurant and other people are interested. DIE staff sind freundlichen and höfflich. The food is good and the staff is nice. I definitely recommend visiting the restaurant and trying the koobideh

You have to try very tasty things

What a shame! The restaurant was good just a year ago. But this week I was there again and got food. And that was just underground. The chicken skewer only consisted of a few tiny pieces of chicken and tons of rice and the shawarma plate was inedible. No idea how old the meat was. It was dry, tough, completely unseasoned and tasted sour. The dish immediately went into the trash can. Both dishes together cost 29 euros. Just a rip off. The atmosphere wasn't pleasant either. I was the only woman in the store and felt really uncomfortable. If you could give 0 stars, I would do so now. I will never go there again.

delicious meat #chicken #lamb #beef

Prices are higher than before, and the food tastes good. However, I have to mention that tea is included free of charge. Everything is self-service, hence the deductions for service, but the food is ready quickly.

Can’t drink beer here. Dirty bathrooms

As always, the food here tastes great. Large portion. You will definitely be full.

It's unbelievable how the prices went up. Almost twice as expensive for a dish that consists mostly of rice. I think 16 euros for a chicken skewer with rice and a few vegetables is excessive. Hygiene also leaves something to be desired

The food is really delicious and the staff are super nice too.

For the price and the ambience, it is worth much more in the neighborhood.

Very bad. The meat is not fresh and only grilled on the outside. Tables are completely dirty. Employee is not nice. And more expensive too For the first and last time. Never again

Best Turkish food ever.. and once again, best Turkish food ever, clean, quick service all do the restaurant was very crowded.

Not sure where the good reviews are from... the food is just grilled meat (good quality) with rice - nothing very tasty, healthy, or original. The atmosphere is fast-food type and all of it for 10 - 20 EUR (with a drink i exceeded 20 EUR). I believe there are many options in close vicinty which are better deals.

The shawarma is one of the best I've eaten so far. The staff is rather, well, how should I put it nicely... discreetly unmotivated. Everything is somewhere listless. ( Not all but most) But we want to judge the food so it is highly recommended. I think it's a bit too expensive... You would need 2 shawarma to fill you up. Otherwise very tasty.

Best kebab and shawarma in Berlin

Ordered lamb and chicken and rice. Got given a plate full of rice with small meat pieces which were extremely overcooked and raw inside which didn't even know was possible

El Reda one of my fav restaurant in Berlin !! Their foods is PERFECTO Delicioso. They cook the rice soo good. 🤩🤩💝 The portion is enough, even to be honest i would like to order one portion more 😅🤣. Next time came to Berlin, i would love back to El Reda. Hat of for their chef 💯💝

It was nice They served good but The bread could be fresh on the Chicken Shwarma

She was very kind 🫶 Thank you ❤️ Read more

Super delicious food with lots of freshness and quality. Shawarma definitely a top taste experience!

It couldn't be more authentic, food just tastes so good!!!

Salmon & number 2 is the best food here, don't forget to order the eggplant. Reasonable price with free tea all day long

The food is good with good portions. the service is okay.

Cheap, very good, tasty snack. Shawarma, halloumi and falafel are excellent.

It's the year 2024, and the sandwiches were served to us without serving tongs, but by hand🤮🤮, 2 minus points for hygiene

Simply good every time! Never regret coming!!

Very tasty food at good prices. Come to Berlin once a year and always go there once.

Way too expensive the food is not as good as the price. With that price expected to have good food.

It was okay, but I mean the Persian food didn't taste authentic and for that price, you can find much better places in Berlin.

The falafel halloumi plate for €10 is actually a disgrace. A little iceberg lettuce and doner sauce with falafel and halloumi is not worth the money.

The food quality doesn't quite match the price, but the atmosphere is fantastic, especially for families.

Love their kinds of food!! The taste was sooo good! Also the ayran is delicious 😁 Will comeback someday👍🏻

The food is good, but the prices have risen too much recently.

Very very generous and quality products!

Get the spicy sauce and eat with it 🌶️🌶️

Seriously, may God bless you with the best food and no mistakes

Great food, great prices, friendly and sociable staff!!! I highly recommend!!!

Absolutely top sandwich nr.29 on menu (rollo) with minced lamb meat. Fresh ingredients, amazing sose, amazing meat everything wrapped in super tasty bread. I will be back.

Shawarma with minced lamb skewer was amazing. Great portions, fresh ingredients and a good combination. Everyone should eat here at least once.

Fast service, authentic Lebanese taste (be sure to ask for the Lebanese version of the sandwich), and good prices for the quality. I liked to eat in the outside seating area. Would recommend.

Good food anyway, recommended 👍

Been there for the first and last time. Rice dry, chicken tasteless. Fatoush is just vegetables together without any sauce, salt or similar. Food is simply overpriced.

I have loved El Reda for years. Always recommended.

Always delicious and reasonably priced!

Always only get gristle meat and banished things...horrible

I recommend this restaurant to everyone

We came here to eat the famous Kubideh for lunch. The restaurant was full, but the service was fast and friendly. We ordered one Kubideh (two Hackfleischspieße mit Reis) and one Reda-Teller mit Hünchenfleisch. Both dishes cost 24 euros, which is quite affordable for the large portions. They were tasty and full of spices! We also received an additional vegetable plate, which was really nice because Kubideh needs more vegetables on the plate to balance its flavors. Overall, I will definitely come back here!

Friendly and... the rest, well...

The meat quality was one of the best I’ve ever eaten in Berlin. The food was ready in just 5 min.

Quite expensive and self service.

The food is really nice and they give freeflow tea. Tho its self service for tea but its great. The restaurant is in the muslim area, so you might find a lot of halal cusine. El reda also sells ice cream

Good, inexpensive Arabic food. Unfortunately, service cannot score points because it is self-service. The furnishings and furniture are simple and outdated, but clean.

We (two girls) ordered nr.2 and nr.8 Positive remarks: - quick to order - pleasant staff (some of them could speak good English) - nr. 2: very juicy and tasty meat on the skewers. Also a big fan of the pickled chilli, would love to have more of those. - nr. 8: I’ve never had more crispier falafel in my life! The sauce was a little underwhelming, but overall okay. - big seating area (family friendly atmosphere) - good portions in the dishes Things to improve: - Use more spices in the rice as it was dry in taste - would have been better to serve those dishes with a dressing (either hummus or any yoghurt base) to enhance the flavour. - would have been better to warm those flatbreads (also needed some dressing on the side). Overall, a great place to eat if you’re nearby.

Food was great for the price and the whole staff were really friendly.

I have known the restaurant for over 10 years and recently visited again. The food was cold, dry and the hummus was missing. And charging so much money for food that does NOT taste good is outrageous. People used to focus on the quality of the dishes, now they only focus on the price. And it's rising quickly!

Food was good, too much rice in the plate, plate of vegetables which is pointless. Shawarma sandwiches looked delicious next time will definitely try

Please publish a menu with the current prices for individual products.

It became damn expensive and I discovered that the store doesn't accept card payments even though it's mandatory

Highly recommended, great value for money

Extremely delicious food, everything very fresh and served with great friendliness. Thanks

I eat here quite often. I believe it offers the most acceptable Kubideh in Berlin. The rice needs improving. Also, I really wish they offered food via delivery apps which they don't and it is a pity. A little bit of redecoration would also be nice.

CATASTROPHE For me the food was inedible. And hygiene is not a priority here either.

Everything tastes very good! It's been my favorite restaurant for years

Tastes very bad (waste of money) I don't recommend Very bad

Horrible store. I've been there twice in my life. Portions very small. Prices are high for this. Last visit waited an hour for food and then took money and left. The highlight was that raw meat was cut into the shawarma. When I said something, he said he had to do it quickly, there were too many orders. Food poisoning is inevitable. Employees were very nice.

As a casual place and comparing to it’s price it was great, good kabab and tongue sandwich which is kind of rare in Berlin. And thanks for the Somaq that you better ask for to get it😉

Food is disgusting. Dry. Salt, butter, spices etc. They don't know. Expensive, not recommended and really disgusting for the price. Definitely out of here

The Kubideh sandwich is simply fantastic. I've never had such a delicious and spicy sandwich in Germany. A must-visit on every visit to Berlin.

The food is delicious and the staff are friendly. However, I was shocked at how small the portions have become. And with the prices... What a shame! In terms of taste, I would like to come more often, but I would have to spend a lot of money to get full...

Fresh, well cooked, and yummy yummy same always.

Better not to work in Ramadan! I was there on Tuesday, March 19, 24, at 4 p.m. I ordered Djujeh & Kubideh. 30 minutes service time. My order : Rice was totally cold. Kubideh was lukewarm and hard, Djujeh was dry and not juicy! Vegetable plate (Sabzi) was not fresh! Employee said: the vegetables (Sabzi) are from Sunday!!! I think rice and djujeh and kubideh were from Sunday too! (warm up in the microwave)

I was a regular customer for a long time but I won't be going there from now on. Prices have doubled in recent years. I understand inflation but doubling all prices is outrageous. Price-performance ratio is no longer good

The beef schawarma was delicious, perhaps even worth the 6 EUR. But the Hummus Teller for 14 EUR… are you kidding me?! 😂 I understand that things have gotten a but more expensive, but this price increase does not align with true inflation. If you want to keep loyal customers, fix it.

Based on the recommendation, I visit the placr. Unfortunately, I am disappointed with the quality of the food I ate. It was a vegetarian plate (falafel, eggplant, cauliflower, french fries). Everything is fried in very deep oil which, I would say based on the taste, it hasn't been changed for a very long time. The oil seemed so old that the cauliflower was almost black, the French fries brown and soft. Not a bit of freshness and nice taste. Disappointed!!!

This store exaggerates the prices! It keeps getting more expensive but the portions get smaller. They also feel like they are becoming increasingly unfriendly 14.50€ for a Kubide? Outrageously expensive

I didn't like the food at all, it was the most disappointing thing I've eaten in Berlin. I ordered a vegetarian dish, and I received almost burnt potatoes and vegetables, with a taste of old fat, they also didn't put hallumi which was included in what we ordered. I paid 14 euros for a dish that I couldn't eat. The service is fine, but the food was a total disappointment.

Best shawarma I know and I know many 😂

Pure Lebanese tradition, a way to travel to Lebanon from Berlin. Atmosphere is so authentic.

Despite of my couple of visit to this place I faced a very bad and unacceptable respond from the owner about my issue that there was hair in my food. I wasn’t sad when I saw the hair in food but his argument and the he treated us was in-polite and unbelievable.

Very poor hygiene Hair was found in my wife's food, we informed her. They threw the rest of the food in the trash and said that since half of the food was eaten, they would not refund the money or provide replacement food. Then the restaurant manager disrespectfully threw us out of the restaurant

Poor hygiene and behavior I found hair in my food and then showed it to the waiter. He took my food and nothing happened after that. I went to settle the bill and to my surprise the restaurant manager not only didn't apologize but also said that I won't refund the cost because you ate more than half of the meal. While I found the hair in the middle of the food. They were completely unreasonable and rude.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the kabobs from El Reda in Berlin, and I must say, it was a delightful culinary experience! Starting with the basmati rice, it was perfectly cooked and served as an ideal base for the flavorful kabobs. The chicken kabob, in particular, was a standout. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, it exceeded my expectations and left me wanting more with each bite. While the rice was recommended to be paired with butter Overall, my experience at El Reda was fantastic. If you're in Berlin and craving some delicious kabobs, I highly recommend giving El Reda a try. You won't be disappointed!

This is authentic Lebanese cuisine?? I had a meal for €13. On the plate were dry rice (value 0.30€), cut cheapest iceberg lettuce with 3 slices of bright red tomatoes and 3 strips of pickled cucumber (value 0.40€) and a handful of really dry beef (consistency more like cooked). And unfortunately it tasted just as the plate was described. Sorry

It was very good tasted delicious

In January 2024 I ordered a double minced meat skewer and a double chicken skewer to eat there, it tasted great as usual. But this time I couldn't believe my eyes. I saw a live baby snail on the vegetable plate before I put the food in my mouth. Then I went to checkout, what did I get? A “sorry” I used to really enjoy eating there, but this incident didn't happen anymore...

So that was the last dirty no cleanliness food was junk and clean the toilets…. 1 star even a lot

The food was tasty as usual The service isn’t the best but acceptable and the atmosphere generally good

One of my favourite Lebanese food in the town! My fav menu is the Kubideh. You can eat it with basmati rice and butter by putting the butter inside the rice and wait until the butter is melting and then pour it in the rice. Eat it together with the chili souce! Uhh it's perfect!

It was quick, it was really easy... staff and shop were great. I would say number 1 in Berlin...^^🙂^^

Meat and grill quality very good

Food was delicious and also a lot. Price performance is great.

Gutes arabisches Essen für alle.

Der Preis ist in den letzten 4 Jahren um ca. 81% gestiegen !! Warum ? Begründet alles wird teuer ! Heute war ich von der Preissteigerung wieder überrascht ! Vor 6 Wochen kostete ein Menü Nr 2 13€ heute kostete es 14.50€ Wir haben hier eine Preissteigerung von 11.5% Ingesamt sahen wir in den letzten 4 Jahren +81% Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass man vllt ein kleines Getränk dazu legt, wenn man schon um 81% erhöht!! Dazu kommt noch die Parkraumbewirtschaftung in der Straße! ارتفاع اسعار وجبه الطعام خلال الاربع سنين الماضيه ارتفاع حوالي 81%

Für mich ist es etwas kompliziert. Man hat sofort Lust, das Essen zu essen. Eine andere Erfahrung, die nicht perfekt ist. Ich denke, es ist einen Versuch wert.

The first restaurant in Berlin, or Germany, I ever went to when I first arrived in 2004. In the beginning, I was like, 'What kind of food is this? The portion was too big.' But when I moved to another city, I missed this place. Since then, I always come to this place to eat Kubideh whenever I'm in Berlin. A place full of memories with great food. Service was also very quick. Highly recommended.
