Kitten Deli in Berlin

A super cozy restaurant with incredibly friendly staff, and I highly recommend the food. I'd go back again and again!

A bit of an oat milk elite tourist trap. High prices compared to the area. Hummus is okay, very oily. The pitas aren't that fresh. Dry and feel like they've been sitting on the shelf for a while: a bit like stacked rolls, like supermarket rolls that don't really stay fresh unless you grab the top one while it's still warm. (Not the experience we hoped for at Esh pita bar in Amsterdam.) The staff is friendly and fine, though some are a bit inattentive. It doesn't feel entirely "engaged." It's a shame they all speak English when you're practicing your German :) They had a good 0.0 beer.

Sooooo delish! Everything was amazing. We were a large group and wanted to try everything and share it all, so the server just ordered a selection for us without us having to decide, which was really helpful. Definitely coming back!

A friendly place that makes you happy. Could you please open a restaurant in Cologne? PLEASE!

The "Kitten" is a deli-restaurant situated close to the quiet Landwehr-Kanal in Friedelstraße and an old bridge which connects two districts, i.e. Kreuzberg with Neukoelln. My Aussi/Lebanese friend took me there on purpose to introduce me to some of the delicacies there, like the home-made challah bread, grilled and/or fermented vegetables - and the best hummous I've tasted for quite a while. The menu focuses on maybe half a dozen of great offerings so you won't need to spend ages trying to come to a decision, and you can also supplement your first choice with side dishes any time. The portions are plenty, and the quality was excellent. Maybe check the menu online before you visit: I consider it a very affordable choice of wonderful food, but "affordable", alas, is a subjective thing (i.e. 15- 20 Euros for the whole thing).

The food was simply unbelievably delicious. We had to wait quite a while for our drinks, though, because we were apparently forgotten. But the taste more than made up for it. We definitely recommend it. Tip: The harissa is delicious!

My favorite place in town! Incredible food, amazing vibe and service

This is an ISRAELI restaurant!!! It hasn‘t position itself against the genocide so BDS

Food was absurdly good! I was so annoyed when the plate was empty, will come again!

We saw the raving reviews, but this place was a real disappointment. The food was good, but the dishes on offer aren't hard to mess up. The bread was downright stale. Now the worst part: the staff was aloof, rude and wouldn't even look us in the eyes while serving. If i could give zero star for service i would. We booked a table in advance at a set time, but when we arrived, we still had to wait outside. No drinks or service was offered while waiting. How this place gets a 4.5 average is beyond me.

The food was good, but unjustifiably expensive. For mushrooms as an add on hummus to cost 3€+ is kinda crazy (and it isn't a big portion of mushrooms, at that). The pickled zucchini is very good, as are the potatoes. Sitting outside can be very nice, even in rainy weather. I had the lemonade with mint, which was refreshing. English language appears to be the primary language at this establishment, as a heads up.

Super delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Varied and very tasty. A lovely atmosphere, and the staff is very attentive and friendly.

My friends and I spontaneously stopped by this restaurant for brunch and were more than impressed! The portions weren't small, and the food tasted divine :)

The staff is super nice and the food tastes delicious!! 😋👌🏼

Amazing food and really good vibes!!! A must go in the neighborhood.

One of my fave places to eat in Kreuzberg. Great for breakfast, brunch, or dinner—honestly can’t go wrong. The Kitten staff is always super sweet and on point. What I love most is that the food always tastes the same (in a good way!), which is pretty rare in Berlin, especially with the more hyped spots. Definitely try their Sabich Teller—it’s so good. And if you’re like me and not into alcohol, don’t skip the homemade beetroot lemonade. Also just a really lovely space, with nice little details like fresh flower vases around the place. Big recommendation from me!

Best hummus in Berlin!! Food is amazing and the staff is super nice. Highly recommended!!

Good with nut allergies. Iif anything, too cautious

I got some to-go since my accommodation was nearby, and it was so delicious that I ate at the restaurant. It was the best hummus I've had in Berlin👍

The place is Instagram-friendly, food was passable but nothing special. What left a bad taste was the service: we felt pushed to leave a tip. The waiter mentioned that "service was not included in the bill", we added 10%, but yet he still checked closely how much we added... The approach felt uncomfortable and we won't return or recommend.

Kitten Deli is my happy place. The Sabiche Plate is the most delicious food in Berlin, the staff are welcoming and kind and the whole atmosphere always makes me smile. I'll be back again soon!

I realized how delicious eggplant and hummus are together after eating here.

Great food, super friendly service, and a relaxed vibe! Highly recommended!

The food was incredibly delicious and far exceeded my expectations. The restaurant is definitely worth a second, third, and even fourth visit. The service was very accommodating and attentive to all requests.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Really impressive staff, professional and attentive. Every dish was explained clearly and served beautifully. Even the busiest moments were handled with grace. Prompt service from the moment we arrived. All the kitchen tools and equipment looked top-notch. Loyal to their word, menu matched exactly what was served. Each team member was courteous and kind. Service was quick but never rushed. Took just under an hour for a full-course meal. I’ll be recommending this spot to everyone. Nothing fell short of expectations. Exceptional experience overall!

Delicious food you don't get every day. Exotic and special. Absolutely recommended.

Best Food I had in a Long time , good prices

Incredibly delicious and unique food!! Great location and very friendly staff! I've been eating here regularly for a long time! :) I haven't found better hummus anywhere yet 😋

For me, eating at Kitten is always a wonderful experience. The food is delicious and varied, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is fantastic. It's by far one of my favorite places to sit down with friends and enjoy some great food.

The Kitten Deli is a truly wonderful restaurant! I eat there quite often and have never been disappointed! In addition to the truly delicious food and drinks, the staff is also very attentive! The location and decor are also wonderful. I would recommend anyone in Kreuzberg/Neukölln to stop by this restaurant!

Very, very delicious food. I love going there for brunch, and it's always delicious. But the lunch menu is also highly recommended. If you're ever on the Maybachufer, definitely stop by.

Always a happy guest and have never been disappointed since the opening - looking forward to the next time!!! 😍

Best levantine food in the area!!

Always great. How can seemingly simple dishes taste so sophisticated? Maintained quality from day one. It's something you have to achieve.

The Kitten Deli is our favorite restaurant. The food tastes fantastic. Eggplant is my favorite dish. The hummus is always top-notch, too. You feel really good after eating. Plus, the atmosphere is always pleasant, and the service is super friendly.

Nice place for celebrating October anniversary ✌🏼 we are going here every year

Bad service, over priced, save your time and money and go elsewhere

Unfortunately found a hair in my food which suggests hygiene practices need refining :(

Absolutely loved the *israeli* food! If you love authentic shakshuka (tunisian), hummus (syrian), harira (moroccan), sabih (iraqi) and dukkah (egyptian), then this is the place to go! (these foods are older than israel’s existence )🍉

Favorite Israeli food!!! Just in case it wasn’t clear on their website or social media, just making everyone aware: this is an Israeli place. So if you support Israel this is the place to go! 😘🍉

A nice local, pleasant atmosphere, the food tastes very, very good! 100% recommendation.

This lowkey dish is my favorite food in the whole wide world

one of the most delicious food in Berlin. The best hummus!

Menu is "small" but everything that is on it sounds amazing and it was indeed the case for everything we tried. The highlight was the hummus, one of the best we had! Drinks wise the homemade lemonade was great, the coffee was maybe the only so so thing we had. Would recommend booking a table.

Had the aubergine, humus, egg plate. Delicious Mi

All in all good, but with plenty of room for improvement… Price-performance not suitable for Neukölln.

Last night around 8 PM, my friend and I decided to grab a bite at Kitten Deli. We were excited, but our experience quickly took a turn for the worse. The waitress was downright rude. Despite the outdoor seating being empty due to the chilly weather and the indoors being packed, he completely ignored us. My friend—who's a local German—politely asked if we could place our order, but he just brushed him off and walked away without a word. Frustrated, I went inside to inquire, only to be met with a question about whether we had a reservation. Funny enough, the table next to us didn’t have a reservation either, yet they received service while we were left hanging. It’s really disheartening to see this kind of behavior in Berlin’s restaurant scene, especially when you approach with kindness. What a disappointing experience

The food is exceptionally delicious. The combinations harmonize perfectly and I would happily eat it again.

We had a reservation at 8:30 p.m. and were only able to order after 20 minutes. When we wanted to order more food shortly after 9 p.m., the kitchen was already closed. At 9:20 p.m. there was one last round of drinks. The guests were literally urged to finish quickly, drink up and leave. But my bigger problem was the staff: two waiters were very unfriendly when I told them about my irritation. Statements like "It`s your problem. You can go to other restaurants." was aggressively addressed to me. That was neither hospitable nor professionally appropriate when dealing with criticism.

Very flavourful food and really friendly service! Loved the salad and the aubergine! Missed a mark for me because of 2 things, the place can get quite loud (too loud for my liking) and the price is a tad bit too much for what you get imo.. other than that it's great!

Great array of options regardless of dietary restrictions and kind staff.

Service was contaminated/damaged. Taste 10/10: Sabich, Labneh, Pita

It's a shame, but not at all tasty🫤

The place I always show my friends who visit Berlin. Brunch or dinner – it’s always a good atmosphere. Small bites are really delicious. Must try – Aubergine plate. Home made bread is also a good choice. Loud X-berg street adds vibe to the place. Highly recommended

I wrote a review 2 years ago for this place saying how the food is great but the waiters were arrogant and impolite. However, today, after talking to the owner, Ngoc, I feel like she's doing everything possible to make this place run well. I only wish there were more restaurant owners like her who respect their customers and care about the quality of service and food. Only wish good to this place, and if you are having any problems with service, just ask to talk to her, and you will see that your problem will be quickly resolved.

The ambiance was very nice here. I got the kitten trinity ( tahini and challah bread) and a grilled cheese. The kitten trinity was good, but the portion size was really disappointing. They give a large amount of tahini with only 2 small pieces of challah. I'm not sure why they would give so little bread since you can't even make a dent into the tahini with the amount of bread they give you. The tahini was nice, it had 2 spicy sauces on top, but the challah was rather dry. The grilled cheese was good. Overall decent place, but the food does not really match the price.

El Kitten Deli & Bakery sirve bebidas, desayunos y otros alimentos. Está situado en Berlín. Es un café antiguo y tradicional, pero está muy limpio y tiene un personal amable. La comida estaba bien presentada y sabrosa. Los baños por las escaleras estaban limpios, pero usted - debe tener cuidado, ya que los escalones son muy empinados.

Wow, we had the sabich and it was the best thing I ate in a restaurant in a long time. So many different flavours, fresh, perfectly spicy, just delicious.

Very bad, culturally appropriated food. Better go to Sonnenallee to get the real deal.

Fantastic food, especially the eggplant plate - highly recommend! Service is friendly and quick. Place is popular so it’s better to book a table upfront

Some of the best food we’ve had in Berlin. Highly recommend this spot, lovely atmosphere and delicious dishes. Great vegetarian options

Don’t order the ginger lemon tea, it wasn’t even hot and it tasted like luke warm tap water with a squeeze of lemon in it. Don’t waste 4.50 on this

Thought the food and atmosphere were top. Great value for money as well - lovely chilled out vibe about the place.

Best hummus and home made Challah bread (you can also get some for home on some days).

Please bring back the original Rainbow Carrots dish!!! I miss it so bad & it was amazing! 😩🩶

Everything super delicious!! They only accept payment by card. Something I realized when asking for the bill, I only had cash so one of the employees was kind enough to pay for me with his card. Thank you so much!

Very tasty hummus. Generally delicious food. Nice atmosphere.

Overrated place. But you’ll love it if you’re a vacuous hipster. Food is like the clients: ectoplasmic, bland, banal. nothing out of the ordinary.

Amazing food, the kindest staff!

Nice evening with friends! 7 of us came and we ordered almost everything on the menu. The portions are quite generous, we took away the leftovers. The ingredients are quality and very well cooked. I enjoyed eating new potatoes. Payment by card only. Please note, we were not able to cut the bill into equal parts.

Amazing food! Great for casual hangouts;)

Very tasty and the atmosphere is also appealing. Many vegetarian alternatives. It's best to reserve in advance.

Amazing Israeli food and very good atention 😁

Very nice place to dine in, the Sabich is warmly recommended. It's warmly recommended to book in advance especially in the evenings, the place is quite popular and just popping in is very risky. The minus is the indoor noise level which makes conversations with friends a bit complicated. There's no sound proofing and the naked walls resonate and amplify all sounds. Hunt: it should be easy to fix by putting some panels or textiles like curtains on the walls.

Wow. What a place to eat! And in every respect! 🤤😮‍💨 It was fate that the three of us got a place in this wonderful restaurant at short notice yesterday. The lovely service pointed out to us that we didn't have too long to eat or linger because the table would be needed later. Drinks and food arrived quickly and simply blew us away. It was incredibly tasty and lovingly prepared. In the end we even managed a desert 👏🏻 the atmosphere is special and if we had time we would certainly have lingered. But we will definitely come back 🤩

Loved it ! amazing taste ! Unfortunately I got twice rejected because I was too late at 8:50pm , also no phone number online to make a call in advance. It was the last time I tried … and won’t be back , the host was not friendly

Humus with eggplant, potato, and egg was the best and a big portion, but Shakshouka was not the best. The people and the atmosphere were nice. I’d recommend you reserve a table.

An absolutely amazing experience! Though it's a vegetarian restaurant, the variety and quality of the dishes are exceptional. The atmosphere is cozy yet refined, and it's a favorite spot for many. You definitely won’t regret visiting!

Even if the acoustics in the restaurant are problematic, the restaurant is highly recommended. Apart from the very friendly service, the food tastes excellent. The homemade beetroot lemonade is also great! 👍

Delicious food, I loved the spicy muhammara toast. Lots of Arabic inspired dishes here with a twist. Staff very friendly and accommodate how busy it is by finding you a table.

Probably the best hummus in town

Great food for a very fair price and nice service. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive our booked table as we were a bit too late. However, they should have a number to call for such cases. Apart from that - highly recommend!

amazing food! they gave me a blanket as it was getting cold outside

Fantastic! No matter what comes on the table...

No brainer choice for a nice lunch or dinner. Make sure to order the Sabich plate.

Silly hipster place that demands a 5,- euro minimum card payment for a 4,5 orange juice. “I am just following the rules” the arrogant attitude is astounding for the mediocrity that is being served.

Had a wonderful meal yesterday. A fantastic sabich and delicious okra. Perfectly prepared and seasoned. And the madness for Berlin: only card payment possible! That's not exactly what we're used to in the neighborhood.

Lots of good gluten free options and everything is vegetarian.

The sabbich is particularly recommended, but everything else is delicious too. An absolute tip to eat here but it's best to reserve in advance.

the pita bread was not that good BUT instead order their homemade challah bread. their hummus & salad were good too!

Best food of this kind that I've ever had in an amazing atmosphere!

The service is incredibly unfriendly. Allergies and intolerances are not taken into account.

We ordered Shashuka 14.8€ and Sabich Plate 14.5€ ( the names might be wrong as i dont remember correctly) The food is very basic compared to the price. The taste is a bit boring, potatoes lack salt and Shashuka also lacks salt. The bread was sweet bread which i personally think it would taste better with dark bread. I think you can find better alternative in this area with better price.

Wasn't there yet, but I ordered (Wolt) and it was really delicious. Now I'll go there myself soon. UPDATE (08/20/24): So now I was there. The outside seating is typically improvised in Neukölln. The tables are just enough for 3 people if you add a third chair. We were allowed to swap places because a rather slanted seat was really too wobbly. Where we sat there was a bad, moldy smell coming from the basement window in the floor. The store can't do anything about that. But I suspect the basement in this house is probably relatively unusable. The food was again extremely good. All three of us were very satisfied. A friend put together a hummus plate with cauliflower and shakshuka as extras, another had the middle green salad plus delicious challah bread and I had the sabich plate. Everything was great and brought to the table relatively immediately after ordering. The service was also well stocked and attentive throughout the evening. I think the price is completely okay for the quality, the good service and the pleasant audience. It was almost completely booked outdoors for a Tuesday evening from 7 p.m., so you should plan for this, so maybe it's better to make a reservation. Nice to know: Payment only possible via EC/credit card! It didn't bother me at all, on the contrary.

Insanely pretentious service. Refused to remove an ingredient from the recipe despite having an allergy. Accused us of “ruining” the court and then very defiantly did it. What a kindergarten.

Prices are insane for this, egg should not be liquid in Hummus

Delicious tappas to share but also enjoy alone. Simple but very delicious. The ambience and service feels very bussy. I couldn't rest well. But still enjoy the food. Vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Best best best aubergine dish and staff✨

Excellent food and a very friendly and effortless service from the Greek waiter

İt is not expensive İt is not tasteless İt is not unpleasant İt is just not enough hot However, it is inviting to try.
