Kanaan in Berlin

Great restaurant with incredibly tasty food and very nice staff. Absolutely recommended!

Great spread and friendly service. The bathroom needs an update. 😉

Love this place. The food is amazing and the staff is very nice. One of our group had to leave earlier and we asked if it was possible to serve just his dish faster and they did us with a smile :) And the story of the owners making it special, what an impressive place!

A delicious menu is served. A vegetarian version is also available. The official language with the fast and friendly service is English. Table reservations are strongly recommended. A visit is very worthwhile.

The interior is unfortunately a bit worn and dingy. But above all: it's incredibly cold in the restaurant! After two hours we were completely frozen! The evening menu was put on the table in one go - we hadn't expected that. The staff tried hard. But the dishes were tasty and beautifully presented. Perhaps more recommended in summer.

I went to this place for the first time tonight and it was a great experience. The menu was fixed, consisting of seven vegetarian dishes. The hummus with the vegan ragout is spectacular to say the least, but all the other dishes are delicious too. The very kind waiter served us immediately and explained the menu to us in detail. I will definitely be back!

It would be very bad because being Jewish is not good

Wonderful menu & delicious wine!

very friendly and courteous staff. It was very quick and delicious!

It was just great, there were 9 of us and we ordered everything vegan/vegetarian to share. We celebrated a completed study exam. The staff was extremely friendly and committed. It was really tasty and the quantity was just perfect. A huge recommendation! I would go there again and again.

Experienced a most beautiful and delicious meal here this evening for my birthday. You can feel the deep and unwavering connection between humans and sustenance in every bite. Even solo, I felt like I was sharing a meal with family, and for this I will never forget it. To the chefs and the staff, thank you for extending your hearts through ingredients and kindness.

Food is simply incredibly delicious. Everything tends to come a little late, but then everything comes at once, which wasn't a problem for me. Service is nice. Atmosphere is lively, as it should be.

We had dinner in this restaurant. The food is delicious, very fine and tasty, the best hummus I ever had! I had Israeli a wine that was very light and perfect with the food we had. The only downside I think it is slightly overpriced.

Disappointing Experience: Unprofessional Staff, Poor Atmosphere, and Bad Service Our visit to this restaurant was a complete disaster from start to finish. The food was utterly unappetizing, as we found hair in our dishes not once, but three separate times. When we brought this to the staff's attention, instead of apologizing or fixing the issue, they were incredibly rude and pushy, going so far as to accuse us of being responsible for the hair—despite the fact that the hair color didn't match anyone at our table. The situation only got worse when a staff member followed us outside to "defend" themselves, insisting that none of their employees had that hair color. This level of unprofessionalism was shocking and made an already uncomfortable evening even more unbearable. The atmosphere was dull and uninviting, and the menu was extremely limited. On top of that, we were pressured into taking a set menu, which was overpriced for the poor quality we received. The price-to-quality ratio is terrible, and the owner strolling around the restaurant with their coat on added to the unprofessional vibe. Staff members also openly stared at us, making the whole experience even more unpleasant. Overall, I would not recommend this place. The food is subpar, the staff is unprofessional and aggressive, and the entire experience was extremely disappointing.

The staff is friendly, the food is very average, the only two dishes we liked are hummus and beet salad, the place is quite shabby and run down.

This was one of the worst restaurant experiences i ever had. The waitresses and the manager were rude, could not communicate the “ rules” of the restaurant beforehand, they made us feel very unwelcome, they were unfriendly and in general i wish i didnt come here. Bad vibes, not worth it, i don’t recommend.

The best hummus I've ever had and definitely the most meaningful restaurant I've visited! Don't miss it.

The food is great. I expected the various dishes to be served as courses. However, everything came at once. The dishes were very good and interesting, and you were very full. However, the ambience might not be convincing. The lighting atmosphere and the hustle and bustle of the staff gave the impression of a canteen. The mood was relaxed and stressful. We didn't even stay an hour and wouldn't come back. The dishes were served carelessly and therefore lost some of their shame.

Very good, fresh and tasty food at a very fair price. The menu is amazing. Nice and attentive staff. We'll be back.

Visited with 2 other friends of mine. We had booked it in advance. Hospitality is incredible. We were greeted with warm welcome and we had been explained about the course on table. Food tasted delicious, and here comes my but… Food was good but we were paying 29 euros per person. So the food quantity on table did not make justice to whopping €87.00 though the quality was good. NOTE: later when we started reading the reviews, it was mentioned in the some reviews that it‘s UNLIMITED food when you opt for their menu than. However, if thats the case then we should have been informed about it while explaining about courses. During dinner, We had asked for extra Pita bread. And overall, some Pitas were soft and some were dry and not warm which made an impression being served stale bread. Yeah we finished every last bit on the plate. As we were three but yeah one pita bread per piece but hummus quantity same all for 2 people on other tables compared to ours felt little bit not justified.

Top food, nice service, we will definitely be back

Very tasty food and extremely friendly service! Thanks!!!

The food was really very good! We had a table at 8pm. At 9 p.m. the chairs were put up at the empty tables around us and an employee mopped the floor while several tables were still eating. That doesn't work at all! We felt invited to leave. We wanted a gift voucher but we decided not to...

We had ordered for two hours and were not rushed by anyone. I can't understand the bad reviews here. We found the evening menu very pleasant and tasty because we didn't have to decide anything. The service even noticed that a birthday was being celebrated and dessert was served with sparklers and a very personal congratulation. Yes, it's not cheap, but is it even that anymore? Everything is more expensive, everyone wants more money, but you can get food for an apple and an egg? We liked it and would recommend it to others.

Delicious brunch; Large portions - be sure to come hungry.

Expected really great things given the hype and the media coverage. A little disappointed with the food we received. Some context....our standard of comparison being Abla's (a Melbourne Lebanese restaurant of forty years standing) doing family style food with unerring precision, startling freshness and wonderful depth of flavour. Kanaan, while tasty enough and showing us dishes we hadn't seen before, simply (no longer?) deserves the accolades. Lacks the expected freshness and vibrancy the food is capable of achieving. Had the sharing menu so we saw enough to judge fairly. Was also if anything over generous quantity wise....would have been happy with less and higher quality. Would have given the restaurant a 3.5 rating out of 5 rather than a 4. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly service.

The service is super friendly and I really love the set menu. We can taste a bit of everything and all goes well together. Really delicious meal and very light since it has no meat ;)

Very delicious. The concept is one price for the chef menu with unlimited refill as soon as you can finish your food. For the price paid very well done. Drinks are nice as well. I recommend to come here in group. But for two people it’s also nice.

In one word “Awful”! You HAVE to pay 29 Euro per person. You can’t even share the food. They count per person. Terrible idea of the menu design.

Great food and wonderful service!

Nice place and a recommendation for humous lovers like myself 🥳☺️

In today's world, a restaurant run by an Israeli and a Palestinian, promoting tolerance and acceptance between people. and welcoming of everyone is unique. Kanaan lived up to its promise of inclusivity and acceptance, coupling it with beautiful food in a comfortable environment. We were treated to nine tapas style courses plus an Israeli cheese plate, partnered with Israeli wine. The hummus was out of this world.

The food was good, but unfortunately nothing special. Arabic cuisine that we know and get more often in Berlin. It wasn't a menu that I thought consisted of several courses, but rather mezze that were all put on the table at the same time. In my opinion the price is overpriced, but at least you could order as much as you wanted and you were even offered food to take home. We became aware of the restaurant because it was touted as one of the best gluten-free restaurants in Berlin. Unfortunately there was no gluten-free bread and no other special gluten-free dishes.

Hier kann man problemlos einen wunderbaren Abend mit Freunden verbringen. Es gibt ein Menü, das regelmäßig wechselt und das man sich teilt. Unverträglichkeiten werden vorher abgefragt und dann wird darauf eingegangen. Das Essen ist super lecker, der Hummus der Beste, den ich je gegessen habe. Es gibt auch sehr guten Wein unter anderem aus Israel. Am Ende ist jeder satt und zufrieden. Das Dessert hat nur noch einer geschafft. Alle, die hier arbeiten sind sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend und die Atmosphäre ist locker und ungezwungen. Wir kommen bei unserem nächsten Besuch sehr gerne wieder hierher.

Gratamente sorprendida!! El sabor de los productos es increíble :)

Extraordinary hummus and baba ganoush that blew my mind away!

Third time I come. But I have tried 5. Two of them we couldn't have dinner because, although it says that the restaurant closes at 10 p.m., at 9 o'clock they no longer cook... Now they have a menu for 30 euros that... Low... Without further ado... The good thing is that I'm not going back :)

I know Kanaan since many years and it has developed in a very nice way. My dinner for two was very delicious, very original with friendly staff and service.

We went on a special evening with entertainment. What a gem and gorgeous place 🤍 and yes, the Arabic coffee is DIVINE!! ✨✨

If you are passing through Berlin it is worth stopping for dinner. Good cuisine and a beautiful story of knowledge and coexistence

The food was good, service a little bit chaotic but they were very nice! We had a great time, defensively something to shear with friends

We had researched vegetarian restaurants before our trip to Berlin. This venue was highly recommended and we throughly enjoyed our visit. We booked a table in advance and we took a tram from the centre of Berlin and it was hen only a short walk from the tram stop to the restaurant. There were many people sitting around the pavements nearby eating food they had taken away from the restaurant.The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful when we were deciding what to order, guiding us regarding portion sizes suitable for the size of our party. Were we to visit Berlin again, we would not hesitate to return to the restaurant.

Absolutely amazing brunch, best restaurant experience in berlin.

Good food, unfortunately on plastic dishes Attentive service, not courteous but friendly

Lekker. Gewoon lekker. Wijn is goed. Muziek is goed. Bediening charmant. Publiek is minder hip dan je zou verwachten maar dat mag de pret niet drukken. Een plek om terug te komen.

My first visit to Kanaan left me sadly underwhelmed. The food wasn't bad, but there was nothing exciting or interesting that I hadn't sampled before or wouldn't be able to dish up myself after a visit to some better sorted supermarket or Turkish Deli. Basically a selection of cold Mezze followed by a good dessert. The hummus tasted good and was hopefully homemade. The added 'fake' chicken is readily available from 'The Vegetarian Butcher' Brand. Dolmades, Baba Ghanoush, lacklustre Tabbouleh, pickled cabbage. Where were the cooking skills? Judging from the size of the kitchen, probably not massively advanced. A word on the wine selection... I think they need to do better than selling a €7 Supermarket wine for a hefty markup. It's not that difficult to find some good wine dealer who can source extraordinary wines that one can't buy at Edeka. Kanaan as a Israeli-Palestinian joint venture is a great idea, but it could be so much better executed.

One of my favorite go to places in Berlin. At Kanaan you don’t only get great food and nice interior. Kanaan is a place of cross cultural and religious solidarity and love. The service might not always be perfect but the personnel is also friendly (which is not very common in Berlin). You might have to squeeze a bit to fit all the delicious food on the table and all your friends around the table, but the atmosphere and what this restaurant stands for definitely make up for it.

Unique place for some great mid-eastern cuisine in Berlin. An eclectic menu and matching decor on the walls. Food was amazing and hummus was definitely the best (since I make a variety of this dish, this was in particular, brilliant). We had the weekend meal and just bowled over by the sheer quantity. The coolers had some artificial flavour more like a concentrated concoction. Service was good and she did warn us for the portion sizes. The pictures of the founders are on the walls and appreciate their thought in putting this place together. Can get busy very soon. Reservation helps. Must do place for vegetarians.

Nice staff but long wait even though it wasn't busy. My “salad” consisted of a halved iceberg head and a few pomegranate seeds, which wasn’t worth the price.

A great restaurant with very good food. Great idea behind it.

I used to really love Kanaan, but the more I would go, the more I realized how poorly managed this place is. The menu forces you to order too much food. You can only order the brunch if two people order it together. Then if there are 4 people, then all 4 have to order the brunch or no-one can order the brunch. The brunch is huge, so unless you are starving or like to eat a lot, it is too much food. The entrees on the brunch cannot be ordered á la carte, so you if you don’t order the brunch you can’t have it and are stuck with a selection of appetizers. It is so upsetting to be force fed all this food. I don’t understand their logic. They want us to spend more money by making us order in excess, but honestly if they would just let us order what we want, we would probably spend just as much. It’s not like they can’t accommodate, they can, but they have some crazy owner on a power trip. On top of that, the food is inconsistent, tasting different each time, so it’s hard to rely on it being good from one day to the next. I’ve talked to the managers and staff several times about the menu and my frustration, but they refuse to do anything about it. It is not even the money, it’s about being wasteful and glutinous. Every time, we leave food untouched because we simply can’t eat all the items they bring us. Look at the menu yourself and you will see what I’m talking about. It is simply too much food! I will not be returning sadly, as it is nice to support a business that has a message of peace, but they have lost the plot, if they are proponents of waste.

Food was quality, friendly staff, simple decor, bohemian part of city. Worth a visit.

The mood is very colorful. It is also a bit loud if you sit in the front area. But very nice atmosphere and attentive and quick staff. The food, we had the vegetarian menu four times, was also excellent the second time. The menu is a clear recommendation. There are really many different dishes. You can count on two hours for the three courses, and in the end the quantity was a bit too much for us. So it's best to come hungry. The concept of the store is great.

Closed - despite reservations - a shame

Incredible place, food and service. 10/10 I would recommend it to a friend.

Unfriendly! Loud! Not a good atmosphere. The main course was much too small and cold, with pressure the next course was brought because the table was taken again. No service. Just bad and expensive!

Delicious and super nice. We can only recommend it, and even more so from last Sunday.

Delicious and super nice. We can only recommend it, and even more so from last Sunday.

I just love this place of love, amazing food, amazing people. It is giving me so much hope in these dark days. Love you guys ❤️

Delicious meal - 9 course dinner! A bit more expensive, but the food was so worth it. I was absolutely full, but still found room for dessert because it was as fantastic as the rest of the meal.

I wanted to like this place, but left disappointed. We had to wait 20 mins past our reservation time to be seated, then we were asked to move tables around 10 minutes after they seated us. The food was ok, some starter dishes really tasty and the bread was delicious. Throughout our meal the atmosphere was loud and weirdly tense. The staff were friendly, but seemed busy and overwhelmed. The prices are high, and didn’t match the overall experience.

Unfortunately disappointed! Price performance for lunch is far too high. The hummus wasn't very creamy and the eggplant was rather dry. Condition very friendly and helpful.

Food is delicious as always but this place is a mess. I ordered food online one day before to be picked up at specific time waiting now 20min because they missed my order....

Our favourite Berlin restaurant - unfortunately you did not live up to our expectations this time around. Tonight we went for the belly dancing show and set menu offer. Positives first: Very generous portions, be prepared for a big feast and lots of lovely flavours! Their lemonade is very fresh and delicious, definitely recommended as a refreshing aperitif. The belly dancer show was so energetic, excited that we finally got to see it! Great fun! Our prior experience, both at the old location and new, has been nothing but positive. Attentive staff, busy vibe and amazing food. However, there were some issues this time around that has made us wondering if this was our last visit. Our reserved slot was 18.00 to 20.00. We were welcomed and seated immediately upon arrival but then had to wait nearly 20 minutes before staff took drink orders. The starter wasn’t served until almost an hour after we arrived. To our knowledge at the time this left us possibly with only an hour to finish a 9 course meal. The dessert was served at about 20.00, so luckily it wasn’t as tight as feared. Yet again when we had finished our meal we also had to wait a long time at the bar to get to pay our bill. Unfortunately staff did not have time to pay much attention to our table during our stay. By the time we left staff had not taken a single drink-order from us, we had to make the request and generally it took some effort and waiting to communicate, as they were super busy running back and forth. Even presenting the menu and taking orders they appeared in a rush, talking very fast and «on the go». Starter: The seasoned bread was nice but dry. Some of the dishes that we expected to be served warm arrived cold at the table. Unsure if it was supposed to be like that, but the grilled cauliflower, falafel and roasted potatoes would have been nice served warm. The potatoes were somewhat chewy and falafel was not moist like before, unfortunately dry. The hummus was lovely, like before, however served with much added tahini now which camouflaged the hummus flavour and made it somewhat bland. Mains: By the time our mains arrived we were starting to feel full already. So great value for money, but quite overwhelming. Dessert: Coconunt pannacotta with pistachio crumble and a fruit sauce was lovely, but then again we were very, very full at this point. All in all we spent the majority of our visit waiting, and less time enjoying the food and taking the time to process and taste the lovely foods and flavours. Such a shame. The large portions are great if you have a big appetite and are a fast eater. We could’ve enjoyed half the size and therefore miss the opportunity of a la carte. The belly dancer was definitely a highlight, thank you for the entertaining show and spreading love! Edit: Would like to add that the staff was very friendly also this time. They were constantly running and probably did as best as they could given the number of staff available and dinner set-up, serving a full restaurant within a very short time frame.

1st visit: everything was great! Food was excellent, everything went quickly, despite being full. That's why we really wanted to come back. 2nd visit: poor. Had to wait a long time, staff was unmotivated or overwhelmed. Starters were very tasty, but unfortunately the egg in the Shakshuka was still raw… You have to be lucky who is there that day. But after the second visit I think it will take a while before we feel like it again :/

I'll start with the food: We were here for brunch and had a menu with an appetizer. The starters were very, very tasty and you were almost full from them alone. You could choose from 4 main courses, we had omelette and shakshuka. Unfortunately, the egg in the Shakshuka was still completely raw, but was put back in the oven. About the service: Because our order was taken relatively late, we only had our starter on the table after an hour. Then suddenly everything happened in quick succession with the main course following, even though we were still eating the starter. You had a bit of a feeling of being “eaten to breakfast”. All in all, the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed at times - but they were still friendly and accommodating. About the ambience: The ambience is always a bit of a matter of taste, but I noticed a bit of negative things here and there. At first glance, the restaurant itself is relatively chic, but simply furnished - almost a bit of a shabby look. The floor in the toilets and in the restaurant itself was relatively dirty, especially in the corners. In the toilets, the door to the washroom was also open and looked a bit shabby. All in all it was ok, but I didn't really feel comfortable. The atmosphere was a bit tense and when you pay that much money the overall package should be good.

Absolutely incredible food, the best roasted cauliflower of my life

So, we were at Kanaan on Saturday, 15th June for brunch. The food was excellent and the staff exceptional and so very warm and welcoming, especially the lovely lady who served us. Only who appeared to be the boss was…well, lets say that there’s room for improvement. Some words for consideration for the man in charge: you have a great restaurant and brilliant staff maybe start treating them with some respect. Nobody feels very good about themselves when you shout at your cooks and and interrupt your waiting staff while they are taking our order, especially when the restaurant is not that busy. It’s okay to feel important but putting that behaviour on display did nothing for you. I’m not telling you how to communicate but a good rule of thump is to treat and speak to others as you would like it done to yourself. I understand that as a boss you need to have authority but if everybody in your restaurant is wincing at how you treat the ones who hold everything together - you’re doing it wrong. I do hope you are reading this...maybe think about it and let your staff know how valuable they are...

The food is awesome, the waiters are, it's a safe and inclusive space too. Everything was perfect

I have no idea why there is such a hype about this restaurant. Is it a political statement to eat there? Minimal menu, quite expensive, tastes good so far.

The best vegetarian food I have ever tasted. Great service. Big portions (don't you worry, there is plenty of food). We got 9 dishes to share and it was perfect from the starters to the dessert. A must-visit when in Berlin.

It was a great evening, I can only agree with Lars. Unfortunately 600 km away

Everything was amazing. Best hummus I’ve had in Berlin. The portions were bigger than expected

Very good Israeli cuisine with a twist.

The food was one of the best Middle Eastern meals I’ve had. I recommend the hummus to anyone that goes here.

Fine cuisine and very friendly staff

We were there for the first time today and it was actually more than just nice and tasty. The service easily deserves 10 points, we felt so welcome and had a lot of fun because everything was easy and great! Even the music was cool! The food and drink left nothing to be desired, it was really good! We left there full and in a good mood, it was a really great experience and worth every cent! Thank you very much and best regards! Keep it up ♥️ see you soon!

So I can't understand the hype surrounding the restaurant. Maybe we just had a bad day. The atmosphere in the restaurant was not really hospitable (extremely bright light, garbage is carried out of the kitchen past guests, used dishes constantly bang on the floor at the kitchen counter, in the men's toilet there is a huge garden hose in front of an open junk room with a washing machine rum etc.) nor the service. Everyone is running around like zombies. Seems like it was a rough night before... The menu had no concept that I could recognize. What is the differentiation between starter and main course? Not at all taste-matched. A menu should tell a story, is a journey. Then it's better to put everything on the table straight away. Then I am my own travel guide. Overall, far too much. Everywhere at the tables around us there were moans about the amount of food. Better less and a little more quality. Overall, the food was pretty average. Not bad, but nothing special. It obviously didn't meet expectations at the neighboring tables either. There are definitely better addresses in the neighborhood for this type of cuisine. Prices are ok (menu 35 euros, bottle of Pinot Gris 29 euros) It's a shame, we were really looking forward to the evening. But unfortunately it was rather disappointing.

The food was nothing more than ok, especially for the prices charged. The hummus was relatively tasteless, which was a big disappointment. Moreover, we felt we really didn't get the same level of friendliness or attention (regular check-ins if everything was ok, big smiles, some chit-chat) from the staff as the table of French tourists right next to us got, which felt weird and uncomfortable, as if we were less welcome than other types of customers (we were a PoC group). The cherry on the cake, however, was me bumping into a kitchen employee in the toilet, who had just used the urinal, and who thought it was ok to leave without washing his hands. Pretty shocking and, of course, extremely unhygienic. With all that said, even though I love the concept and philosophy behind the restaurant, I'm afraid I'll take my business somewhere else next time I want to eat tasty Levantine food.

This might be the best food I've ever had. We ordered the business lunch and there were five of us and the waiter brought what they thought we would enjoy which was a little of everything. A huge amount of food and it was so delicious. All of the bread is the absolute best. My carnivore dad didn't even realize it was all vegan. They even brought some sugar-free hummus for the baby! He also loved this place!

The food was excellent!!! Unfortunately, we had to wait a long time for our food and then it was accidentally served to the neighboring table instead of us. When we wanted to order something more, we were told that unfortunately that wasn't possible because the kitchen was preparing catering - that's understandable, of course, but a little warning would have been nice so that we could order more from the start. In the end we went home a little hungry...

They still exist, the extraordinary gastronomic experiences. We were there for dinner with seven people. Everyone was thrilled. The food is authentic, the service is excellent and the atmosphere is great. Always my pleasure.

We had the menu for €33 per head. All in all it was tasty, although we were hoping for a little more. Because all tables eat the same course at the same time, it sometimes took a while. The location is rather uncomfortable, lacks a bit of ambience and is very loud. The food was eaten on plastic plates. Despite a reservation, we were seated at the farthest table, with a view of the shelf for the dirty dishes. That was really uncomfortable, but we were able to move around when asked.

Mouth watering food. And the staff are very friendly and describe all the dishes in a very fun and interactive way. We really enjoyed our visit 😄

9 course meal, delicious food, great presentation, friendly snd happy staff. The food was so well presented and tasted wonderful. Shared plates of 6 starters were so tasty, I wrote notes so I might try to replicate at home. We loved it- highly recommended. Oh, by the way, the effort of exhibiting Israeli and Palestinian kitchen and staff working together is applauded. Thank you.

We visited on Monday for brunch. We paid 31€ per person which included a drink. Tea, coffee or lemonade but unfortunately we all left hungry. The portion sizes are small. Starters were to share and not enough when you are in a larger group. The main dishes were not much better. The food was tasty we just wish there was more. Service was ok. A smile would have been nice.

We really enjoyed it and were more than full. We'd love to come back.

The food is very very good. An authentic dinner with Mediterranean flavours. All the guys are young, professional and very very kind. Perfect!

an Israeli-Palestinian mix that is truly magnificent these days. The food is excellent, the staff warm and friendly. Really highly recommended.

delicious food + reasonable prices + waitress is such a sunshine

A visit here is a must for connoisseurs of the Berlin restaurant scene. Because Canaan is a place where tolerance is celebrated with special food. We always come here with family or friends when we want something special. The menu selection in the evening has recently been simplified. There is simply a vegetarian 9-course evening menu for €33 per person for everyone. The 9 courses were all an excellent culinary delight and we were full and happy afterwards. The change to the menu also makes the service very efficient. The team here is always friendly. We therefore found the price justified. An additional plus point is the easy online booking and the option to pay by card. See you soon!

I found this place pretty average. The hummus was ok but not much flavour. The falafel also had a lot of fibres inside - apparently a herb, but in my food they knotted together into an Inedible knot 🤢 the pommes were tasty. Just overall a bit over-priced for pretty average food. Update, Kanaan have tried to have my review removed because they say I never visited their restaurant. So I have attached a photo of the meal I had. It's a shame they put more effort into having bad reviews removed than listening to their customers. It was a 3 star review because the food was average, but for trying to silence constructive feedback, it's a 1 star...

When I first discovered Canaan, I came back the very next day to eat more of the best hummus in the world! Whenever I'm in Berlin, I plan a visit there. It's a bit of a shame that the beach feeling of the guest garden has been lost due to the move - but the interior of the new location is larger and much more beautifully designed. The hosts are warm and as I said, the cuisine is excellent! Above all the hummus, but also baba ganoush, falafel & Co.

Beautiful evening in Canaan. Clear map but tasty. Food is served on the table as a kind of buffet. Everyone eats it.

Amazingly delicious food and lovely staff!

Had dinner there for dinner. Reserved a table in advance. The service is super friendly and very helpful. When the first course came, I thought that the three of us wouldn't be full, but everything was so delicious and we were actually already stuffed after the starters. The main course was also super tasty. A lot of work is done on spices. Yes, this quality comes at a price, but we would come back at any time. Thanks 5/5

Beautiful location with a 9-course menu to share and feast on. Super nice service. The homemade flatbread with hummus and artichoke was particularly delicious.

It was hectic, fairly loud, and when we left after 2h we hadn’t received our third main dish. Also they give you the same amount of food for 3 people as for 2. Food was alright but 33 euros for each menu are just to expensive for that. I thought they might have had a bad day but other recent reviews state the same.

Do odwiedzenia tego miejsca skusiły nas dopre opinie w internecie. Nasze przeżycia i odczucia były jednak całkiem odmienne od tych opisywanych. To miała być pyszna, miło spędzona kolacja urodzinowa, a był męczący, bardzo długi wieczór. Czas od wejścia do wydania ostatniego dania wynosił 2,5 godziny. Start był całkiem miły. Mimo, że brakowało win, które chcieliśmy zamówić, przemiły kelner, może właściciel (?) przyszedł i zaproponował nam inne. Wtedy ostatni raz w tym miejscu, poczuliśmy się zaopiekowani. Koncepcja i pomysł narzuconego menu, w zasadzie jest bardzo fajny, ale nikt nie wytłumaczył nam tego w przystępny sposób. Mieliśmy dużo niepewności z tym co dzieje się wokół nas, kiedy i co zostanie podane. Obsługa. Nie czuliśmy się zaopiekowani. Mieliśmy wrażenie, że obsługa nas unika. Nie mieliśmy pewności kto jest opiekunem naszego stołu, bo za każdym razem przychodził ktoś inny. Kuchnia. Kucharze podczas wydawania wieczornego menu kilkakrotnie wychodzili na zewnątrz. Było wielu gości którzy czekali na swoje dania (my już około godziny na pierwsze jedzenie), a oni bez stresu siedzieli na zewnątrz. To może berlinska tradycja? 🙂 Klimat w barze przedziwny. Najpierw usiedliśmy blisko kuchni, ale zapach środków czystości z toalety nas szybko stamtąd przegonił. Znaleźliśmy stolik bliżej barku, wydawałoby się że już jest dobrze. Ale przy barze, obok naszego stolika obsługa trzymała brudne szmaty, jakieś opakowania, płyny do czyszczenia itd. Wyglądało to bardzo nieestetycznie. No cóż... Knajp weganskich w Berlinie jest mnóstwo, a my musielismu trafić akurat tutaj. Bardzo duże rozczarowanie. Przy płaceniu rachunku, opowiedzieliśmy obsłudze o naszych odczuciach, o niedopuszczalnym dla nas czasie oczekiwania i wtedy natychmiast usunięto naliczone napiwki z naszego rachunku. My jednak, wolelibyśmy zapłacić napiwki i spędzić wieczór w bardziej przytulnej i sympatycznej atmosferze. Z dobrym jedzeniem. Ach!
