We came in to try their kebab. And it was great. See pictures

Nice place, but unfortunately no beer or wine available. The food is delicious, the portions generous, but not exactly cheap. The staff is friendly, but the place is a bit noisy overall. Delicious nonetheless.

A nice little cafe in the center.

Very tasty, very friendly, would definitely recommend. I would eat there again. It was delicious. Best place in Berlin.

We went there for the pide, but unfortunately, we didn't quite find the flavor we were looking for. I deducted a point for the minced meat on the pide. The service was good, though – the staff was very friendly.

We had reserved a table for 13 people. It worked out smoothly; the waiters had prepared the tables outside according to the weather. The food was good, came quickly, and the price was reasonable. Unfortunately, we were there on a Thursday when the storm started. The wind blew dirt from the street in our direction. La Vera can't be blamed for that, but they reacted quickly and brilliantly: They first looked after the guests, freed tables for our large group inside, and then took care of their outside awning. They even brought new food to a guest who had sand blown into his food. While the S-Bahn public transport was suspended and downed trees blocked the streets, we paid and tried to get home. It's a shame we had to cut short; the restaurant was really nice. I can only recommend it.

The food was incredibly delicious. The staff was very friendly. I ate there. I treated myself to chicken skewers and lentil soup. I was very satisfied and would happily recommend it. A small note: only cash was accepted. Overall: Top

All I can say is that I've been coming here for a long time and can only recommend it. Lahmacun tastes very tasty, kebab and Dürüm are also very tasty and can only be recommended.

Very nice kebab dishes, thank you very much, look at the grill, Halil, you are great.

The order was initially confirmed and after about half an hour it was canceled.

Nice staff, excellent whose food tastes there and as in all Turkish restaurants, in general the word can be said great place to have dinner or lunch

The entire family absolutely loved the food. Fresh, full of taste, yummy. We would definitely go back.

Great food, nice and fast service, I recommend it

Very tasty, highly recommended and the waiters were also very nice

Very bad food, unfriendly service and no quality meat and vegetables

The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was very tasty and filling. My family and I will definitely go again.

For €24 so little meat and on the phone they say it's still normal.

We bought a doner kebab from him today, but unfortunately we won't go there again because there was nothing else except the bread. I regret the money I paid.

I took a delivery from the restaurant. They sent me fermented ezme and salad which were not edible, plus, old bread and meat...

The service is very satisfactory and the food tastes relatively good.

Very tender and high quality meat!😋

It was absolutely delicious, we had lamb boulette, very juicy and very tasty, the dessert was also very, very tasty. The waiter was so friendly, we haven't experienced that in a long time. Thank you and we will definitely come back.

Best food with workers also very friendly

Great service and the food tasted very good. One of my favorite locations :)

Also a place to go late in the evening. Nice service and very tasty food.

Pros: - high quality ingredients - great grilled flavors, perfectly seasoned - attentive service Cons: - There is a lot of savings on meat (doner kebab and Adana). - Rice partly too dry

Service is zero, customer care is zero. I do not recommend it at all.

Would have liked to eat with everyone at the table at the same time. Food was very tasty.

At this restaurant, we experienced genuine hospitality. The chef recommended the special meat meze, allowing us to savor a variety of meats. We also tried the sauces, which were absolutely delightful. The meat was expertly prepared and perfectly seasoned. The sauces, including tzatziki, offered unique flavors, and the bread was fresh and warm. It was an extraordinarily delicious experience. Prices were affordable. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

They have friendly staff and clean, delicious food. We were very pleased. I will recommend it to everyone.

Very nice environment, meat is really delicious

Excellent service and wonderful welcome

Turkish in a place where mostly Turkish people live. Can't be bad. could be better, but it is reasonably priced. The kindness of the service exceeds the competence.

Best Turkish Restaurant. Real Food. Feels like home made meals. Always super clean! We have been coming here for a while now. I think its one of the best kept secrets. I am actually a bit scared of posting a great review because I don’t want it to overcrowd , but their commitment to great food deserves it! Fresh everything! Never dissapointed

Very tasty food Unfortunately it always takes quite a long time.

A restaurant that could just as easily be in the middle of Istanbul. Absolutely typical for us. Our visit to the restaurant in the middle of Ramadan in the evening just before sunset was a culinary and cultural experience. The food was very tasty and the service was typical, friendly and attentive. The whole thing defies the breaking of the fast in the evening and a rush of guests that you first have to be able to cope with. Thank you for a nice evening

We decided to have iftar with the whole family at La Vera, the atmosphere is very good, the staff are very friendly, everything came on time, but I wanted an Adana plate, the minced meat taken off the skewer did not really resemble Adana, neither in appearance nor taste, please change Adana.

Always good adana kabob. This is my go-to restaurant in the neighborhood. Good service and great grilled food.

It's not bad, but the food could be a little better. It wasn't quite as warm either. Court was beyti and Adana

Berbat berbat. Not recommended, ever. Never never never.

The first place that comes to mind when talking about kebab in Berlin

Today we got a kebab for the first time and a Turkish pizza with meat and salad that was really tasty The service was very friendly We will be back

Das Restaurant ist sehr schick, die Speisekarte bietet eine große Auswahl, das Essen ist sehr lecker, die Preise sind in Ordnung und die Mitarbeiter auch freundlich

The food is tasty, but the meat is a little on the dry side and portions are quite on the small side considering what the restaurant charges for the food. The atmosphere is ok, and rather full with local customers from the neighbourhood. The service is good. The waitress was very attentive, friendly and willing to help in any way she could. Considering the restaurant was pretty busy, she was working alone and still managed to attend to every table. Food was prepared and served quickly. There is a high turnover of customers who come and go quickly and some customers who seem to enjoy spending hours there drinking tea and chitchatting! Makes for a cosy atmosphere, except that it is very loud. There are two doorways at both ends of the restaurant, so if you get unlucky and sit between the two in cold weather, you will get blasted with cold wind each time someone goes in or out. And considering the staff often pop out for a smoke from the rear door, it's constantly opening and closing!

Good food at a good price. The portions are generous and taste really good. The ambience is functional. Nevertheless, it is worth recommending.

I ordered pizza with doner kebab and they brought me pita with kashar and doner kebab. The atmosphere was very cold and the waiter was working hard. So zero zero...

Inkompetente und sehr unhöfliche Mitarbeiter, welche nicht mal eine Platzzuweisung hinbekommen. Nicht weiter zu empfehlen

You come in no hello no table allocation the service staff with a face like why did you come very unfriendly and incompetent when dealing with customers as they say customer is king here unfortunately not here it says why did you come it's a shame there were a large group but they have Didn't leave a cent behind and went elsewhere so stay away if you don't want to be treated unkindly... the 1 star was a must actually minus 5 stars...

Nice place for eating turkish pide or lahmacun

Great, authentic turkish cuisine. Some of the classics are grilled on charcoal which gives the food the special-bbq-taste. The service was superb! Absolutely lovely, considerste people working there. Only possibility for improvement are the pizzas imho. The sausage was too thick, and the dough was quite dry and had not much taste. But still, for turkish cuisine this is an amazing restaurant and I can totally recommend it.

Sehr netter Service und sehr aufmerksam! Das Essen war sehr lecker und frisch. Ich bestellte İskender und eine Linsensuppe! Ich empfehle euch hier auf jedenfall zu essen... Der Tee schmeckt auch sehr gut...

Das beste Grill Restaurant Berlins!! Das Fleisch ist zart saftig und sehr gut gewürzt. Eine große Auswahl an Grill Gerichten. Das Geschäft ist besonders gut für Besuche mit der Familie geeignet. Am besten 1-2 Tage vorher anrufen und ein Tisch reservieren. Ambiente sehr schön. Freundliche und zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter/ innen Ich werde definitiv wieder kommen.

Ein schönes nettes Plätzchen zum Essen und Trinken. Essen Service Preise stimmen. Kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

It's my "go to" Turkish restaurant next to my home. Very good service so far. I love their kuzu sis - can definitely recommend it to anyone.

Iskenderteller sehr lecker und üppig

If you have serious meat craving you are in right hands! Best kebabs in town!

Un kebab cojonudo. Eso si, no tienen cerveza ni ningún tipo de bebida alcohólica.

Sehr empfehlenswert. Service top. Preisleistungsverhaltnis ok.

Wir waren mit meiner Familie dort und sehr zufrieden,hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt 👍 Sehr vorkommender Service und ein sehr schönes Ambiente,wir waren sehr zufrieden und werden wieder hingehen ☕🌶️🍔🍟🍗🫘

Essen schmeckt. Hätte gern ein alkoholfreies Bier dazu getrunken. Es gibt zwar Cola u.a. schlechten Getränke, aber ein (!) alkoholfreies Bier (!) nicht. Warum?

Stabiler Laden, gutes Essen zu gutem Preis

Herkes dost canlısıydı, gayet şık servis vardı

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches/aufmerksames Team. Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist top. Weiter soooo

Sehr leckerer Adana, feinster Grillgeschmack. Ich werde La Vera weiterempfehlen und bald wieder besuchen.

Echt leckeres essen gern wieder. Und grosse Portionen 🌞

Qualität und Geschmack Top und mega freundliches Personal. wird aufjedenfall weiter empfohlen mach so weiter jungs.

Super Kebap. Bin begeistert. Endlich mal ein richtiger Kebapladen in Berlin. Top.

Ich war das erste Mal hier. Eine schöne Speisekarte, auch mal was anderes drauf. Es macht einen sauberen Eindruck. Alles neutral gehalten ohne viel Deko, trotzdem ansprechend. Die Portionsgrössen sind sehr gut. Es war sehr lecker, nur die Preise sind schon ein wenig hoch. Aber dann geht ja nicht jeden Tag essen. Weiter so

Comida boa e barata. Vale a pena conferir 0

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit tollen Grillgerichten! Website gibt leider keine konkrete Information... kann man soweit ignorieren, es ist besser als der Eindruck von dort 👍

Cok iyi bir dostum kardeşim fedli Çakmak in yeri yemekler herzamanki gibi çok lezetliydi kendilerine vermiş olduğu hizmetten ve samimiyetlerinden dolayi teşekür ederiz

Comida muito bem preparada, tudo fresco e bem temperado. A carne é assada na brasa. E se for para levar, um dos melhores durum’s do bairro. Tem uma área exterior ótimo para ir com a família em um dia de calor.

The food is ok, but the portions are tiny. If I pay 8 EUR for a dürüm I expect not just a tiny piece of meat in a tortilla with an alibi slice of tomato.

La Vera Sahibi Fedli Çakmak Beye ve muhteşem Ekibine Düzen Servis ve harika soğuk ve sıcak sunumları ile hizmetlerinden dolayı çok teşekkür ederiyorum. Değişik organizasyonlarınız için tavsiye ediyorum.

Un lugar increíble muy acogedor y el servicio muy amable. La comida exquisita. Los mejores 🥙 que probé. Vale la pena. El precio bueno para ser en Alemania.

Very friendly but taste is ordinary. No recommendation because everything has same quality. One time thing

Super nettes Personal obwohl es voll reserviert war haben meine freundin und ich einen platz bekommen um uns aufzuwärmen und tee zu trinken und wollten zahlen doch die herren nahmen kein geld an. Es hat sich angefühlt wie in der Türkei sehr gastfreundlich :)
