LAWRENCE berlin mitte in Berlin

Fantastic food in a great location. Definitely worth a visit!

The restaurant is overrated and deserves 3 stars at most. It's not untasty, but it's not great either, somehow listless (like the service, by the way) the cold pan is served with a scraped-on Teflon coating, but on a three-legged stand, you wonder what that's about, as is the interior, everything is a bit random. And expensive.

Unfortunately, despite the good reviews, the food was rather disappointing. The chicken seasoning tasted quite bitter at times, while the lamb at €30 was tough and didn't taste that good either. The portions were also rather small. Not good value for money

It wasn't open when it was supposed to be open.

Qualità del cibo abbastanza buona, il problema è rappresentato dalla scarsa empatia del personale. Sembra quasi che ti facciano un favore a farti entrare e l'ordinazione è stata successivamente presa quasi con sufficienza. Non possiedono un Pos per pagare con la carta e ti costringono a registrarti su una piattaforma e quando finalmente ti sei registrato non funziona, Non ritornerò

A wonderful experience. The restaurant is centrally located and well connected in Mitte. The S1 stops directly in front of the shop. From the windows you have a wonderful view of an extremely beautiful synagogue. The restaurant itself is very pleasantly decorated. Nice ambience with quiet jazz music and comfortable seating. The service is also excellent. Food and drinks came reasonably quickly. The plates don't look full, but they fill you up well. The dishes taste excellent thanks to good, authentic seasoning and preparation. All in all not to be missed. I'd love to come back.

What can I say… we came in but were poorly received. The card already tells you about the tip. The lady only wanted to sell long drinks even though we didn't feel like drinking alcoholic drinks. So we left again without consuming anything.

Well, first of all the interieur and everything else is quite cozy and nice. The staff was also alright, but we waited a long time to order drinks and food. The food itself was not well seasoned. Since we are aware of good levantine food, the interpretation of „Berliner Fattoush“ had nothing in common with the original Fattoush, really nothing. Small portions, not well seasoned and it seemed like a posh restaurant with a lack of character.

Simply the worst. Empty restaurant and they let us wait 30 minutes to even take the order (7 adults and 2 little kids). The most expensive falafel in Berlin, about 20 € for simple plate served by arrogant, annoyed staff. I wish to ask everyone to not support this way of serving and selling food. Avoid if you can.

Good food but the Kebbeh Hamis were frozen inside… relatively expensive

We had a reservation for Sunday at 1 p.m. and we arrived on time and it was closed, at 10 a.m. a person arrived and told us that we would have to wait a little longer. We left. a shame

Hello, prices seem excessive to me, so thank you, without me. All the best to them anyway

Das Essen am Abend des 23.03.2025 hat uns aufgrund des schlechten Preis-Leitungsverhältnisses enttäuscht. Das Hauptgericht "Al-Scham Kombi" für 2 Personen hat sehr wenig an orientalischen Aromen geboten und der Materialeinsatz rechtfertig den Preis von 74,50 Euro mitnichten. Das trifft auch auf das Kännchen Minztee zu - mit nur 2 Stängelchen Minze für 8 Euro hätte man auch Wasser trinken können. In der Wartezeit von ca. 45 min ist kein Brot an den Tisch gebracht worden. Das Dessert haben wir vorsichthalber wonanders eingenommen.

The place was nice and quite on a Monday evening. Very good location. But unfortunately, the food is at best okish and with poor price-performance. I have had much better middle eastern food in Germany.

Durante nuestra visita a Berlín, conseguimos una mesa. La comida era decente, y el restaurante tiene un buen ambiente, sin embargo el servicio no era genial. Después de limpiar nuestros platos, ni siquiera nos dieron la opción de pedir un postre, o incluso otra bebida. Vergüenza ya que queríamos hacer una noche de ella

The food was nice, and really tasty. However the service was very slow. At no stage were we asked if we wanted a dessert or even another drink. Pretty poor really

delicious food. I was there at lunchtime, but there is no special lunch offer. It was very empty in the restaurant - you have to deal with that (it's supposed to be very crowded in the evenings), but the food was good and the service was very nice and attentive.

Quite ok but really bad value for money. The plate with five falafel, some hummus and tabbouleh costs €22. Unspectacular bread is available for €2 extra. It's unlikely to fill you up and it's not particularly tasty either. The restaurant is nicely decorated and cozy. But you pay almost 100% extra for that and the location. It's not worth it to me personally. Given these prices (and in Mitte), I can't understand why card payments aren't accepted. The menu has a particularly unfriendly introduction and directly states that a reasonable tip is expected…

Real bad experience. We made a reservation for 40 people with a few “extras” nothing worked out. Unfortunately we spend a lot of money.

Poor service, prices totally exorbitant, unappetizing food, no card payment even though you asked. NEVER AGAIN!

Very good dishes. The indoor team seems a little understaffed so plan on waiting a little.

The food is unseasoned, not appetizing. The prices are totally exorbitant for what is served to you. Card payment was not possible even though we asked beforehand, so we had to send the bill to a strange waiter via Paypal. There was also no response to the inconvenience. NEVER AGAIN

We were at Lawrence Berlin with a group of 15 people on a Monday and the restaurant was full. Even though it was busy, we were able to order quickly and the food was delicious. The service was friendly and on point. Everyone was satisfied and happy. Thank you for the great hospitality. We'll definitely come back.

Quiet atmosphere in the early evening hours from 5:00 p.m. - perfect for cozy conversations among friends with good food and delicious wine.

Very nice place, nice service, good colorful food and a good atmosphere, the waiting time wasn't long

Yes, very nice restaurant and delicious food

Mediocre Restaurant. Weird decoration with a beamer showing Netflix ads. Food is ok but not worth the price.

Restaurant is nice, good for a date. Service is was ok, the girl was pretty new and insecure. Food was medium, tasteful but a bit dry and basic.

Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. The couscous with lamb was 3-stars, without flavor.

We wanted to visit the restaurant last Saturday and were told at the door that there were no seats left. The restaurant was 80% empty... We probably didn't look like we were leaving enough money. This has never happened to me before in any restaurant in Berlin, even at a higher price.

We really liked the atmosphere. The food was good, apart from the chicken, which was noticeably too dry. Unfortunately the service was very, very, very inattentive. We would have liked to order coffee and dessert. Unfortunately, we sat in front of our empty plates for 45 minutes, no one came, no one responded to us, even though we were sitting right at the entrance, where guests were constantly being picked up and brought to their seats. To pay we then had to speak to the “boss” directly. When he asked, "Everything's ok," we answered, in my opinion, in a friendly manner, that we would have liked to have coffee and dessert, but unfortunately we don't have any more time. His reaction was an example of a lack of critical ability and arrogance. He justified the inattentive service by saying that it was difficult to get staff. When he cautiously replied that it might still be possible to get to the table in 45 minutes if you were walking past anyway, he said, "Now listen, I'll tell you again, two employees didn't show up today. I'm the boss and I have to work as a waiter here...." Maybe we should have said that we were very aware that during the 2 hours we were there he sat at a table with acquaintances and talked for at least 1 hour; perhaps indicate that he did not really support his (new) employees during their induction; Perhaps I should give the tip that as an employee it is definitely annoying when the boss doesn't lend a hand in such situations and there is a chance that you won't come back the next day when people are looking for staff everywhere. Our impression was that the “boss” wasn’t interested. We hope that it was his sales that he didn't make ;-)

Unfortunately the restaurant doesn't keep what it promises. Contrary to the menu, some drinks were not in stock, and the oriental burger on the menu was also not available that evening. The dishes without typical Arabic spices and taste rather average. The high expectations set by the restaurant itself as the best Arabic restaurant could not be met and unfortunately did not convince us at all.

everything was great, very nice, atmospheric place, I recommend 🤗☺️

The food was really good and we loved the location! :)

Had a wonderful time there! Amazing vibes and service☺️✨💫

I highly recommend couscous with lamb and cauliflower. These dishes were recommended to us and we were very satisfied. The average bill per person is around 30 euros, which is very high for Berlin

Low prices and large portions, located in the central location, we will definitely go again👍🏻

good selection of starters, fast service, waited about 20 minutes for the order. We can only recommend the restaurant!

great place for a family night out, usually not crowded, very tasty hot starters!

Everything was very very tasty!💗

Excellent service and service! I recommend

A real gem! The food was excellent, fresh and prepared with a lot of love. The service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The ambience was also convincing – cozy and inviting. Whether for a romantic dinner or a meeting with friends, you simply feel at home here. Absolutely recommended!

Very good restaurant! Delicious cuisine, friendly staff, nice decoration. A wonderful place for a meeting or a festive dinner. I recommend it to everyone!

Cozy restaurant with excellent prices.I will definitely come again !

Perfect Place for Family evening

Delicious and atmospheric. Service is a special pleasure. The staff is unobtrusive, the waiters are smiling and helped me choose something that suited my mood. I particularly liked the moussaka! The place fully met our expectations, we will definitely come back again!

Excellent location ok center of Berlin,Menu was small ,the portions were large and nourishing

small restaurant in the center, very cozy inside and the waiters were polite

My friends and I celebrated a birthday here and were very satisfied, the prices were very reasonable, the atmosphere was welcoming and without unnecessary noise, from the menu we liked Musakaa, Kebbeh Hamis and Dajaj min Al-jabal the most 10/10

I recommend this place to everyone, it is very tasty, the staff is nice, I went there with friends

very cozy and low prices, I will definitely come back!

Great Middle Eastern restaurant! The food was delicious, with rich flavors and good portions. The hummus was super creamy, the grilled meats were tasty. The staff was kind and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

very nice place with good atmosphere

Excellent cuisine and very friendly staff! I can only recommend it🙂‍↕️

great food, great atmosphere, I liked everything

all good, will come back for sure

Love it ! Really good food and cool service! I will be definitely back to this place🤍

Food was delicious, staff very friendly. Definitely worth another visit when we are in Berlin.

Super tasty food and very polite staff. I'll definitely come back! :)

visited this place on recommendation- large selection for vegans, hummus was also excellent, there were not many people, but for us this is an advantage. We will definitely come again

This café is simply fantastic! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the food is just a dream. Every visit here is a little highlight. I always love coming back!

Rarely I find something that is "just right" for me. Especially when the menu is extensive it is always difficult to choose. well it’s Aquarius moment. No dogma no unnecessary fuss - just flavor that speaks for itself. Veganism is not a manifesto here but the natural course of things. If you like to follow the impulse and find your own you already know the place. How does it feel? I think yea cause waiters made their work too cool for me it’s main.

The food itself was ok, but everything else was on the annoying side. The waitress first had to look for a seat in the almost empty restaurant, which didn't fill up throughout the evening. I didn't understand a single word she said anyway, even though my companion said it was probably bad English with a heavy Russian accent. In any case, I couldn't identify it as English. The menu begs for a tip right from the start. The operator is free to pay reasonable wages even above the minimum wage! I usually always give something, but tips are just that, not a replacement for wages. Begging for it right from the start, even before any performance has taken place, is the bottom drawer. Dishes ordered from the menu did not exist. The difficult communication was not particularly helpful in the re-election. Paying by card or cash didn't seem to work? I didn't understand her, she left a chip on the table and just left. My companion then paid via app. Google asked about the ambience. That corresponded to an average (but empty) Berlin cocktail bar. All in all, an unpleasant place.

Very nice restaurant to enjoy oriental cuisine with super friendly staff and an excellent ambience. I can only recommend it to everyone.

The food was tasty, but at these prices, I was expecting a little more oomph. I had the Dajaj min Al-jabal—chicken breast stuffed with dates and pistachios, served with seasonal veggies and a creamy feta sauce. Fantastic idea, but the chicken was a bit on the dry side, and the veggies were softer than a backpacker after their first Berlin winter. Now, let’s talk prices. My dish was 25€, my mate’s was 29€, and honestly, you can find similar quality for around 15€ in other parts of Berlin. But the real eyebrow-raiser? The wine. We had the Classic Sauvignon Blanc from Barkan Cellars—nice enough drop, but at 39,50€ a bottle, I nearly asked if it came with shares in the vineyard. A quick Google later, turns out it retails for 6€. That’s a 558% markup! Even by restaurant wine standards, that’s some Olympic-level price hiking. All in all, a solid meal with great flavors, but the value for money needs a bit of a tune-up. Would I come back? probably not.

I walked in for a coffee and chose the Arab Mocha! It was one of the best coffees I’ve ever had! The atmosphere is peaceful , calm and beautiful! Agripina is a lovely hostess. Kind, patient and helpful. I hope to make it back for a meal before I leave Berlin! Thank you so much!

beautiful establishment, wonderful atmosphere, top-notch service, very pleasant, we were satisfied

Found this place by accident, and it’s a gem! The portions are generous, and the flavors are incredible.

Everything was amazing, my new favourite restaurant in Berlin

Fantastic group meal at Lawrence during our school trip to Berlin this week. Really welcoming, lovely food and a great opportunity for our students to see what makes Berlin such a special city. George Burns, Claremont High School, London

Very delicious food and friendly stuff!

Delicious food and cocktails! Obsessed😍😍

I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, delicious cocktails and pleasant service. I highly recommend a visit

Was amazing can’t wait to comeback here

Good atmosphere, enjoyed it, I recommend it

This is my favourite place in Berlin !

Had a great time here. The food is flavorful, and the vibe is really chill. Perfect for a casual night out.

Amazing place with really good Mediterranean authentic food ! Good service and atmosphere

Excellent service treat and beautiful interior with good food ❤️ Love it

Great Experience at a Restaurant in Berlin I had a great experience at a restaurant in Berlin. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was friendly. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place for a pleasant time!

My favorite restaurant from now on! Cool atmosphere, pretty, wonderful food and people there !😀

This place is a true gem for food lovers! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, while the staff is attentive and professional, making you feel special. The food is an art form – every bite bursts with flavor and leaves you wanting more. It’s a place where time slows down, and worries fade away. Highly recommended for those who appreciate quality and unforgettable experiences!

Honestly, one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the staff was super nice.

We had a reservation for a business dinner with 18 people. Many had the salmon dish, it was subpar, I've never had such a bad meal, even though we were given a special menu, my drink was forgotten and the portions are tiny for the price. My piece of salmon was also tiny, not fresh and hard like cardboard. I was very disappointed and so were some of my colleagues. No recommendations from me, and the nice atmosphere doesn't make up for it.

Hosted one of the greatest nights in berlin ❤️

Great food, atmosphere and delicious wine. Good for sharing different dishes. Loved the decor. Friendly service

attentive service, no card payment (a small notice on the disinfectant dispenser is easy to miss); the "warm starters" were cold and completely overpriced: four small starters for FIFTY EURO, Rice pudding great consistency but unfortunately ice cold. Restaurant uncomfortably cool (January, early evening)

It's a type of cuisine that you have to like, but I have to say that I ate really well. Very good lentil soup and the cauliflower wasn't bad either. It's not a cheap place but I definitely recommend the experience, enriched by a very good artist who played live.

We spontaneously went out to dinner at Lawrence's and had a great evening. The food and drinks were delicious and we were served very friendly. It was a Saturday evening and a DJ was playing, which created a pleasant atmosphere.

Oh well. The ambience in the front area of ​​the restaurant is nice, the bar at the back is nice. I found red grave candles on the tables (those candles in glass that you sometimes use outside because of the wind) to be stylish. The hummus was very good, the matzah plate was good. The bread was bland and cold. The service barely uttered a word, no facial expressions, you only saw a smile after the tip. I would not recommend this restaurant.

I think it's the prettiest corner in Berlin and Varsha was also very attentive and sweet to us, we'll see you again 😍

I had there the most amazing arabische coffe ☕️ once cup took me back to egypt where i used to drink the same taste ☺️ , Thanks varsha for being so kind in reception and service SEE YOU AGAIN SOON

It’s the best restaurant in the Berlin, everybody need to come there. Very lovely place and the best team in the world. I’m love it!

A cozy gem and excellent Arabic coffee!

Schöner Eingang und nett dekoriert. Empfangsmitarbeiterin hat unsere Reservierung auf ihrem Tablet nicht gefunden, bis wir speziell auf OpenTable hingewiesen haben. Essen recht hochpreisig angesetzt (z.B. €22 für einen vegetarischen Vorspeisenteller für 1 Person). Hauptspeise war gut aber nicht üppig, man sollte sich Beilagen dazu oder ein ganzes Komplett-Menu bestellen, um wirklich satt zu werden. Die Weine waren nicht wirklich gut. Am Telefon wird behauptet, nur EC-Karte und Bargeld werden akzeptiert. Jedoch war Kreditkartenzahlung am Ende doch möglich. Insgesamt ein netter Abend gewesen aber für orientalisches Essen in Berlin werden wir bei diesen hohen Preisen und dem eher unbeholfenen Servicepersonal nicht nochmal hierher kommen.

Food was tasteless and expensive. Service was okay. Atmosphere is wonderful. I won't be visiting Lawrence again because of the poor food.

Delicious Wine and friendly Bar-Staff. Haven't tried the food yet..

Después de reservar esto hace más de un mes y a 40 minutos a pie para llegar estábamos bastante destripados para encontrar 2 elementos principales en el menú principal no disponible. No hay razón o disculpa dada - simplemente no disponible. Reservamos a través de la aplicación Mesa Abierta no nos registraron a la llegada, así que tuvimos que confirmar con la aplicación que realmente asistimos a nuestra reserva. Pedimos (en términos básicos) 1 x kebab deconstruido 1 x pizza y 1 x botella de vino tinto y costó más de 99 € con CERO servicio al cliente! Después de la comida para colmo, anunciaron que solo aceptaban efectivo. Este restaurante necesita un gerente que tenga la atención al cliente en primer lugar en su agenda y quizás se replantee su menú (o incluso chef). ¡Uno para EVITAR, me temo!

Great authentic food with very nice service. Thank you

Pleasant, later there was live music, really good food but also at steep prices!
