Esra in Berlin

very tasty and a peaceful place, I like to go there on my lunch break and really cheap prices

I've been here a 4-5 times now, it's a cool place with good food. The staff are very nice to everyone, but... I'm not sure why, every time I have been there, the staff has been kind of rude to me, not sure what I did wrong. Paying with card, cash etc. all the times I've been there, it's been an awkward interaction with the staff. I've tried speaking in English, broken German etc, all the same. And I've never seen that happen to anyone else, at least not when I was around.

The food here is excellent. Had the falafel wrap. It was recommended to us by German friends. It is near AlexPlatz and very healthy well prepared food!

Disgusting, tasteless shawarma, after which your stomach hurts. Plus it's expensive. I don't recommend it to anyone!

The falafel is very tasty, but unfortunately it is a bit unhygienic. If you don't wash your hands after smoking or handling cash, you should at least wear gloves.

Felafel only review. From the depths of despair after the "donut" next door, the light shine quite bright here at Esra. Better than average in all respects: the bread, the cooked to order felafel, the salad and the chilli sauce. The chicken looks about as (not) tempting as the photo below, so I'd stick with Felafel. The boys behind the counter were great, and really wanted to know what I thought. All that and pretty reasonable for mitte Central.

The best shawarma!!! Very unfriendly staff.

Abundant, tasty and economical portions. Quick and pragmatic attention. Excellent location, you see the train, the television tower, the architecture of the surrounding buildings.

Very mediocre taste for Berlin standards and terrible rude service. Go somewhere else

Probably the best Falafel you can eat in the whole of Berlin. Excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try something different.

Bad! The falafel and shawarma wraps were thin and poor. After a few hours we both feel really bad. We're neighbors, we're sorry, but that's not okay.

Unfortunately there is a lack of red cabbage, white cabbage and normal cucumber, otherwise quite tasty

the prices are so crooked... Falafel but quite good 👍🏻

Took the Kombi Teller with shawarma and falafel.. amazing!

Simple facilities, but super delicious food. Portions adequate, everything freshly prepared - would be happy to come again at any time

Very, very tasty food 🥘 the hummus and falafel are mega

I asked for non-spicy couscous, they gave me very spicy. €5.50 in the trash because I can't tolerate spicy food. Added to that the employee answered reluctantly and I asked for no spicy food or onion. He answered me in a bad way. I don't recommend unless you like this type of food.

When employees prefer to chill on their cell phones right at the counter instead of taking an order, that's a strange understanding of service and working hours 😄

Delicious, super nice, inexpensive..... Perfect!!

I was here for the first time today! the service was super sweet and friendly. We even got a dessert from the house ;)

The restaurant is clean, the food is delicious and the service is excellent

Very tasty food and good service

The staff there are nice and generous The food was delicious.

It was so delicious and the prices were really reasonable, I'll definitely come back :)

Delicious! Good vegan options More nice service!

There is gluten-free falafel. Delicious shawarma with great side dishes. Vegetables, salad, hummus

Really great falafel and shawarma

The falafel shawarma was really good and only €5

They have a very nice falafel sandwichs and the workers were very friendly

The Ford is very yummy. A Taste of the oriental Kirchen in the nicest war! The Service was pretty good. I asked for Extras but the served IT still very Kindly.

We wanted to try falafel in berlin. We were disappointed. Falafel is supposed to be served in a pita. With freshly made tahini and a fresh salad and humus. None of it was available. I got a falafel in a some kind of bread, the bread wasn't fresh i could not choose what to put in the bread and i got a sauce which isnt a tahini neither a humus! I thought id get an experience like home. I was so wrong.

The staff are nice, but compared to the original test of falafel that I know, the one I ordered is less than expected.

Very not friendly services and not tasty. Not recommend

Warning: racism I was completely disappointed. I was served and got my mediocre, rather dry falafel wrap. But right after I paid, I was called "Ching chang" as an Asian-read person. When we asked the staff about it, they didn't even have the courage to admit it or apologize. Such racist behavior should not and never be tolerated. I strongly advise against going to a store like this where you will be treated so disrespectfully. Thanks. Especially when they seem to simply delete bad reviews.

Good day, I was just here at this diner. Important to know: we are a small group of Asians. Totally normal, wanted to order food. Right after she paid, an employee said to a friend: "Ching chang" and when a friend asked if he said that, he denied it (three of my friends heard the same thing). Instead of admitting it and apologizing, nothing came. Racism should be banned. Just like this store.

Very bad taste. As a lebanese person, this has to be the worst shawarma i’ve ever tasted.

We ate a delicious Haloumi sandwich here! Well filled with vegetables and hummus. Recommended if you want a quick bite to eat for lunch.

Delicious, perfectly cooked, great service! Went with the family for lunch and was not disappointed by the shawarma. Fresh vegetables and the chicken was perfect.

Worst shawarma ive had in Berlin. Long waiting and overall not a pleasant experience

Very, very tasty food (smartly addressed) and nice employees, although the ambience could be worked on. Despite everything, here are the 5 stars.

I ate there 15 years ago and again last week. Falafel and halloumi are absolutely recommended. Since I can't eat gluten, I chose the falafel, halloumi plate without couscous. Super tasty and recommended. Unfortunately there is currently a construction site right in front of the door but it was still worth eating there.

One star goes to the lemonade. In Berlin I ate much better and cheaper falafel in other snack bars. The man at the checkout also wanted to cheat me. I paid with a fifty euro note and he tried to make me believe that I had given a 10. Only after I insisted that it was a fifty did he give out my change, i.e. 40 euros. Be careful here, otherwise you will be ripped off.

The “Falafel in Bread” dish, for only €5, was a good meal for a large appetite. With one of the best falafels I've eaten so far (it was freshly prepared for us). We recommend

10/10 really good, recommend shawarma with extra falafel

Wir kamen eher aus Mangel an Alternativen wegen der fortgeschrittenen Zeit. Umso besser, denn der gemischte Teller und die syrischen Falafel waren sehr gut und günstig. Freundliches, flexibles, kommunikatives Personal, zu empfehlen!

Exactly what we wanted, shared a plate of falafel, hummus, other veggies and bread. 9 euros, good price and very central location. Open late, helpful!

Very unfriendly and bored staff. Unfortunately we didn't feel comfortable. Unfortunately, some reviews are misleading.

Very good falafel in baguette. Normal prices, around 6-7€ for a sandwich and 10€ for a plate.

A good place to eat delicious swarma.

Very good food and friendly service!

a nice shot of the staff, and I found the food delicious, especially the shawarma 🤤, with different sauces.

Unfriendly staff & loud music & unclean tables & long wait. Asked for two dishes but got totally two different ones, yet the waiter insisted that I ordered so. Then I waited 30 minutes for the reorder, with super loud music. Unhappy with overall experience.

It’s called vegan falafel, they just mean there is vegan options available, in this way all restaurants might be vegan. There’s one staff serving, ordering. People wait twice in the queue for ordering and paying. I understand it’s a Imbiss, but it doesn’t hurt the income too much if they have one more staff, and of course, the staff will not look like unfriendly, and they would also be able to clean the table in time, wouldn’t server the wrong food too often. In general, the food is not bad

Good shawarma, but the staff was absolutely not friendly.

Son said it was his best meal of the trip. It was very nice, with helpful staff. Reasonable price too.

Very good service and food at this Middle East cafe. We had Chicken shawarma baguette and taboula salad.

Snack with fantastic Schwarama!

Cozy place, great food, great options on menu, supreme value for money.

Didn't taste good and was expensive

got a food intoxication from this.

Leckeres Essen tolles Team immer sauber,freundlich Zum empfehlen

Leckerer Imbiss! Unsere Falafel Halloumi waren lecker und preislich in Ordnung. Das Lokal dürfte mal wieder renoviert werden. Es ist und bleibt allerdings ein Imbiss und dafür ist es absolut in Ordnung. 5 Sterne

Parece que te hacen un favor atendiéndote. Me pedí la bandeja que trae todo y literalmente no nos gustó ninguna de las cosas. Muy por debajo de la calidad que suelen ofrecer los restaurantes libaneses.

Kann die schlechten Bewertungen nicht verstehen. Na klar. Ist offensichtlich kein fine dining, ja, es ist weiterhin ein Imbiss. Dafür, saubere Toiletten, auf jede Bestellung und extra Wünsche wird geachtet, dann ein absolut knackiges Makali, was mal nicht labbrig frittiert wurde, mit tollen Saucen im Wrap, ob Baguette oder Brot, es schmeckt. Preis stimmt dazu. Nichts zu meckern hier, wenn man nicht allzu hochtrabend daherkommt.

Unfreundliches Personal. Sehr durchschnittliches Essen. Viel zu teuer. Nicht empfohlen.

Ich war zum ersten Mal in Berlin und wollte Schawrma essen. Einer der leckerste Schawrma, den ich gegessen habe. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Die Einrichtung ist Schön auch.

mashallah so good my friends and i got falafel shawarma and the man was super nice he understood me well and was halal i loved it would go again and price is good for the food

Very tasty shawarma. Staff are friendly as well

Redelijk betaalbaar eten, maar niks bijzonders. Geschikt voor de snelle hap.

Wenn Falafel selbst gemacht werde kann es nur lecker sein. Nur das Ambiente würde auch freuen über eine Überarbeitung, bunt gewürfelt, nicht halbes und nix ganzes.

Leckeres Essen und ausreichende Portionen. (Besonders Humus und Bulgur könnten etwas mehr sein, weil sie sehr lecker waren 😁)

Also ich war an diesem Wochenende 2x dort. Kann die positives Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen. Arabische Küche schmeckt anders. Die Falafel waren ganz okay. Aber das shawarma - würde ich nie wieder essen. Keine Aschenbecher, somit war die Antwort vom Angestellten - einfach auf den Boden werfen.

Schlimm unsympathische Mitarbeiter, die annehmen, dass man Flüchtling ist, weil man seinen Schawarma im Brot und nicht im Baguette haben wollte. Schawarma war höchstens mittelmäßig wobei das Fleisch gut war.

Would never go here again, shawrma was dry. The fried potatoes and blumenkohl still had oil on it.

Richtig leckerer veganer Falafelwrap! Ambiente und Service lassen zu wünschen übrig, aber Mittags ist es hier halt voll. Am besten zu den Randzeiten kommen.

Lecker aber sehr kleine Portion. Von den Falafel Wraps für 5€ braucht man 2-3 Stück um satt zu werden.

Auf jeden Fall empfehle ich die Schawarma Rolle.

Respektlose Homophobe!!!! Das Essen schmeckt nicht.

Freundliches Personal und top Essen!! Selten so freundliche Mitarbeiter gesehen, gerade im Sommer bei den Temperaturen. Hut ab!!

Sind auf Empfehlung dort gewesen. Shawarma-Teller mit leider zu wenig Fleisch. Salat und Beilagen breit auf dem Teller verteilt, damit es nach mehr aussieht. Beim Nachbarstisch, auch gleiches Gericht, mit doppelte Menge an allem. Bei 10€/Teller sollten Portionen nicht auf gut Glück verteilt werden.

This no frills falafel shop makes some of the best falafel in Berlin. I always get the falafel baguette which is so tasty.

I recently dined at a Lebanese restaurant known for its excellent falafel, delicious grilled halloumi, and outstanding creamy hummus. It was a delightful experience! The flavors were exquisite, and everything was fresh and delicious.

Absolut empfehlenswert! Tolles leckeren Essen, sehr besucht und beschäftigt, aber schnell und freundlich.

Delightful little place. Vegan falafel wrap for very reasonable €5 and tasted scrumptious

4.1 average is entirely too much. The sandwich is dry and a little sad, but doable in an emergency. Tourist area hey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wirklich sehr lecker und ein guter Service. Ambiente passt nicht so zu Thema, aber die Küche sehr empfehlenswert!

Best Falafel in town, Seating either inside or outside. Friendly staff.. Clean and delicious.

Super lækker mad til en let frokost. Betjeningen var lidt hektisk da der var meget travlt, men maden var super lækker og frisk, og til meget fair priser. Stedet var godt besøgt hver gang vi kom forbi, hvilket kunne tyde på at stedet er populært.

Excellents falafels avec des accompagnements frais et copieux. Service rapide et attentionné. Excellent rapport qualité prix. Belle trouvaille.

Falafel e halloumi kebab buoni, prezzi e dimensioni nella media.

Very unfriendly staff. I'll ask for a shawarma without veggies and sauces because kids. They said yes just to deliver normal veggie and spicy sauce loaded shawarma. When i pointed this out it looked like they did not longer understand english and refuse to made new shawarma.

Herre. This was AMAZING we had a roll with deepfried vegetables and hallumi it was good I also bought an whole bowl of hummus bc I love it😅😅 I live for hummus if you know what I mean🤪🤪🤪 recommend to everyone!!!!!! Love this one of the best I had and I am from the capital of falafel Malmö in 🇸🇪

Richtig schlecht gelaunte Angestellte. Tun so, als ob man sie stören wurde, wenn man bestellt und zahlt. Naja, macht nix, gibt ja noch viele andere Optionen hier.

Haben ein neues Shawarma bekommen nachdem meine Freundin meinte dass sie gegen eine Zutat allergisch ist. Essen mega lecker!!! Personal sehr freundlich!!! 10/10

Köstliches essen zu fairen Preisen. Danke für die schnelle und nette Bedienung. Empfehlenswert

Good falafel wrap and Baklava is good too just a little sweet.

Ich hatte einen Schwarma-Makali-Teller den ich draußen vor dem Restaurant wie für Berlin typisch auf Bierbänken gegessen habe. Insgesamt hat der Teller schon gut gemundet und der Preis war für die Menge auch angebracht, aber. ein wenig besser hätte man hier und da noch einiges machen können. Das Aioli schmeckte eher nach Mayonnaise als nach frischem Aioli und auch der Hummus war nicht der beste den ich je hatte. Schawarma hätte auch etwas würziger sein können. Trotzdem insgesamt ganz gut, besonders gut gefallen haben die Makali

Says its open until 1am om Sundays but at 11.30 their advice is to go somewhere else for a kebab

It’s yummy but they must watch their hygiene more.
