Luxa in Berlin

Came here because of the good reviews and was handed a cold shawarma. The oven was already off, which was a strange sign and then we got really cold meat. Cold fried vegetables were also served, which was like an ice cream shawarma. The taste is not good or fresh at all. I didn't think you couldn't make a shawarma. In terms of appearance, the shop actually looks familiar, but the food doesn't at all. The guy was so pushy that he didn't even bother to look at the menu just to give me an ice cream shawarma. Sad

Very good food and very good service 10/10 i recommend

Mediocre shawarma with several unchewable meat pieces. The meat was bland. I love pickled turnips but these tasted foul and I could not eat them.

Delicious shawarma teller prices are reasonable as well

You will find better places in Berlin. The rating is significantly overestimated. Max 3.8 for great hunger

Cash Only (Girls Only kommt ins Stu)

Well, not really tasty. I definitely cannot recommend the store, especially the staff are not friendly

Great service and food. I have come here several times, always fantastic quality.

Super delicious! Had schwarma with hummus and falafel.

I've eaten better before and the toilet is really worth running away from

I really enjoy eating falafel there. It's always fresh and tastes very good. The staff very friendly and nice.

Best place to eat falafel Very nice staff Food tastes great

Genuinely best place in Berlin, for the price, the quality is immense

Very good kebab better than Mustafa

So correct etchings here and tastes really good too

Best falafel!! My girlfriend tried all over Berlin to find the best falafel and after 6 years she finally found it!! It was so incredibly delicious and we had a lovely conversation with the boss. We came back again on the same day hehe. 🤭

One of the best shawarma of my life !!!!

Incredibly delicious. The smell lured me into the store. The Dürüm came fresh out of the oven, the salad looks really fresh and the salad bar was easily cleaned twice while I ate my shawarma. The tea came so that you could enjoy it with caution after 5 minutes and the staff are extremely friendly. Really cool shop!!!

Absolutely slapping schwarma durum. It’s incredible. Can’t be beat. Seriously

Exceptional service, I can say that it is the most meticulous and delicious place in Berlin, you should definitely try it.

It was a wonderful experience. The food was just perfect and the owner was really nice. As french travelers, we recommand at 100%

If you go to Berlin you MUST eat a kebab there!! We were thrilled

A great little snack bar with a very good selection. We were the only guests on site at lunchtime today. The staff, two employees, were friendly and accommodating. The service was great. All of the food was excellent and extremely tasty. Highly recommended. A well-stocked bar is available for mixed drinks. A large selection of well-chilled beer and non-alcoholic drinks are available.

Yoghurt sauce that, true to its name, only consists of what it is. In addition to the lack of taste in the sauce, a lot of onions and falafel, which are only seasoned with cinnamon, serve to compensate for the spoiled taste. Even the one strip of halloumi that was booked for 2 euros couldn't save this pitiful vehicle.

Schrecklich!... Habe Köfte Döner für 7 Personen bestellt. Bekommen habe ich 7 Kraut Sandwiches... Fleisch?? ! Nie wieder :(

I usually come here and bring people with me. Unfortunately today the shawarma was so extremely salty that it was inedible. Couldn't even finish eating. I only complain when there's something really wrong with the food. Unfortunately, this wasn't addressed at all, a few squeezes of lemon were recommended, but didn't help. I would have liked not to have to pay for the food and ideally to have had a liter of water to wash down all the salt. Sorry guys, that was really not okay.

Amazing meat, amazing sauce and we were able to pay by card 🤩

I've eaten there several times and I've experienced twice where I either had to eat hair or the meat wasn't cooked properly

The place is ok, but the food not that good, the bread of the durum was rambling, not enough meat was like a salad with sauce and also too spicy for my taste. Also I was with someone else and they didn’t accept to pay in half.

Buen sitio para probar comida libanesa en Berlin. Recomendable el Shawarma (muy buen tamaño y sabor), y el falafel. Las patatas fritas (rizadas), también muy buenas, así como la pizza de pepperoni. Además probamos como postre unas bolitas de colores (no recuerdo el nombre), que están en el mostrador de exposición, y están más buenas de lo que a priori parecen. Las bebidas son self service, tienes que ir tú al fondo del establecimiento y cogerlas del refrigerador.

Terrible! I visited this place on July 21, 2024 and had to leave without eating. It's rare to find such unfriendly service. Arrogant and cheeky. And there's discussion. Ufff.. Never again.. Simply outrageous!

The man (bald with a failed transplant) was rude when I ordered and picked at his ears... disgusting. Food cost €13.50 and was not much for it. Insufficient for Berlin conditions, I think. There really are a thousand times better stores that are much better and much cheaper. I'll never, ever go there again, I feel really sick afterwards. PS: In his answer he is accusing me of lying. He picked at his ears WHILE I WAS EATING and even gave me that blank stare. Impudence! Everything I said is 100% true.

the food may be ok but the service is very bad as i visited this place again today and decided to eat inside which i regretted very much. firstly one of the cooks who is bald treats his guests badly, secondly he touches your food with his hands instead of putting it on with a special utensil which is very unpleasant and thirdly he had the audacity to come to my table while i was having my meal and took half of the napkins that were on the table saying i took too many napkins. next time take your own napkins with you.. and usually shawarma is cut but he just put it on in pieces hoping i would eat it to go... ugh that's awful.

I received an order that wasn't mine with an aggressive attitude that it was mine and I should take it. Cold kebab, sauces not what I ordered, generally - everything was wrong. The place is crowded and no one can control it, and all you need to do is enter the numbers to make changes. It's hard for me to recommend it, it's just not worth it.

Top shop, my falafel was freshly prepared, everything was generally super fresh and very tasty. Service was also super nice, special requests were fulfilled.

DANGER!! They delete less star ratings, unfortunately Google ratings are unreliable... Service is totally bad!!!! First of all they forgot my order, they say that no payment by card is possible, the next customer paid by card!!

Top shawarma plate and mega falafel, recommendation!

Love this place! Always good, quick and friendly. It’s also very hygienic.

The food there is super tasty and the people there are really friendly and just nice. The graduates who always work until the end are super friendly. I go there twice a week and always order Dürum shawarma with fried vegetables and have never been disappointed. Great store. I can only recommend it.

They sell shawarma in a pie and potato pie

The shawerma wrap is mainly a salad wrap and it barely includes a 5% uncooked chicken and the rest is just salad Would be a nice sandwich if I just wanted to order a salad sandwich 😅 Also the service is poor. It seems they never heard about greating the customer with "hello, good afternoon. What can I get for you ?".

This is the best shawarma and falafel I've ever tried. Previously, Ive had middling experiences with middle eastern food trying restaurants in the US of A; however these two experiences at Luxa has changed my mind. The plate is filled to the brim with fresh hummus, salad, juicy/flavorful chicken. The flavors combine so well. The falafel is made fresh from beautiful green balls of bean and fried to a crispy exterior and soft, warm interior. I'll be back !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can highly recommend my favorite kebab restaurant! It's the perfect place for a quick and tasty lunch break. The prices are super fair, and the food is always fresh and delicious. I would particularly like to highlight the warm hospitality of the owners - they are incredibly nice and make you feel at home straight away. It's nice to see how much love they put into their restaurant! Another plus point is the option to pay by card, which makes payment super convenient. All in all just great! I can't wait to go back!

Best food I've had in a long time👌😋

The food was the main point and did not disappoint in any way, top quality, delicious to get into the biksen. Although you would think that it was mainly some shawarma and kebab that should be good here, they managed to make a pizza that could compare with real Italian restaurants😩😩😁🥰

Tasteless and the unfriendly service ever. Wanted to cheat by several euros when billing. Special requests were not taken into account and the sauce was only on top of the sandwich, the rest was just cold fried vegetables.

I went because of the good reviews. Big mistake, the food was cold, old, tasteless sauce and thrown carelessly. My requests about what shouldn't be in the food were ignored and shrugged off when spoken to. I was also charged several euros too much. Pay attention to your bill!

One of the best owners I’ve had in many many years the spiciness hits the pallet like never before I wish this place has a great future

Very friendly and very tasty. Fair prices and vegan options. You can also get very good tea or coffee.

Excellent option, tasty, abundant food and at a good price.

The chicken kebab was legendary, the staff were very respectful and friendly, the atmosphere was 10 out of 10.

Expensive prices for average food. Should pay as much for a vegetarian plate that is not on the menu as for the one with meat. (15€) “There’s nothing you can do.” The iced tea wasn't on the menu either and was more expensive than all the other drinks. “You just can’t put everything on the map.” There are many much better shops in Berlin.

We were very pleasantly surprise by the food here and the friendly people who work here. It was the only thing open this late in the morning. They are open until five am in the morning. Plenty of seating areas inside and out. The chicken shawarma was very juicy and not dried out. The prices are very reasonable. In fact, they are the cheapest I've seen in Berlin so far. There are a lot of drink options here. They even have a full bar with alcohol. They have bathrooms here, however, they are very tiny and not too clean. I would definitely come back here and try other things On the menu. - The Laughing Lion on Youtube 🦁

Very very average, the food, service as well, no thanks

Expensive and very bad food. I had a large plate of falafel and wasn't full.

Incredibly dry wraps - ask for extra sauce if you come here. Good beer selection though

the vegan falafel just tasted bland

So in the evening or at night it is simply a trap for bad food and expensive prices. Not a recommendation unless you can't find anything else.

One of the best shops for shawarma in Berlin!!

kebab was good, what disappointed me was the service. The kebab was 7.5 and I gave the guy a 10e bill. He saw I was playing chess on my phone and gave me a 50c coin and kept saying "It's ok, it's ok" and I stared at him and told him I gave him a 10 and then he pulled out a 2e coin. No apology whatsoever. It could've been a mistake but I got a strong feeling he was trying to rip me off.

They’re trying to chest on you. Falafel durum and cola 11€? I came here twice and twice it was too spicy. Don’t recommend! Avoid this place

Not fresh at all. Better avoid this spot.

All OK, but the restroom is horror

Este lugar era el lugar perfecto para algo de comida nocturna. El serrano de pollo era tan bueno que volví 3 veces más. Tienen una buena selección de cerveza y algunos dulces también. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It is no doubt one of the best Shawarma in Berlin! Every time I'm in the area I don't miss the opportunity to come .

The food is amazing best kebab in Berlin

The quality is great. Everything is fresh, the place is super clean, but… was the smaller halloumi-makali I ever ate . What I love of these places is that you never stay hungry, but here yes. So sorry, but I must be honest, was disappointing. Also, the sauces were not the best, the vegetables were unsalted, so 3 stars is ok.

Unfortunately shawarma was nothing…

Unfriendly service and food not particularly good (chicken kebab). Sign says you can pay with a card but then refused anything but cash.

Very tasty food with a very good price-performance ratio. The service was very nice. We would come back at any time.

Extremely unfriendly employee here. Never again.

Der Mitarbeiter war extrem unfreundlich.Das Essen habe ich gar nicht ausprobiert.Es gibt bestimmt viel bessere Orte in Berlin,wo man Kebab oder Falafel essen kann..

I don’t know what about this dinner, but I just I don’t know. It’s just a match my expectations.

The shawarma didn't convince me. Although the meat is very good, the sauces (apart from the hot one) lack pizzazz and a shawarma simply tastes better with thin Arab-style flatbread or pita bread than with the medium-thick wheat pita bread used there. The sellers are friendly, clearly 5 stars. However, the men's toilet was a significant minus.

Shawarma wasn't shawarma. Service consisted of "ey!..." or "sorry!..." and strangely enough, when you asked for card payment, it was emphasized again that cash would be better... Hmm, why?!

Work Kebab Durum ever.... chicken tasted like fish.

Fast service, spicy meat, price very fair for the location. Excellent.

If you are really hungry then whatever, otherwise I would argue there are better options

Very good falafel with haloumi! Big portion 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Falafel / Halloumi wirklich nicht lecker, zufem eine ausgesprochen unfreundliche Bedienung - ein mal und nie wieder!

Awful expierence. Food was inedible, worst falafel I've ever had, manager was extremely unfriendly

Well, I had high expectations based on the high reviews. Tried two different sandwiches, both were average.

the service is extremely rude and unprofessional. The food was ripped out of my hands because the waitress made a mistake. This is simply unacceptable! Afterwards, when I got my food, there were almost no vegetables in it, everything was extremely sour and inedible.

Best kebab in Berlim! I tried a lot but this is the best!

The kebab is very tasty, cheap, and, what I really appreciate personally, the sauce is ubiquitous, not only at the beginning. The service was friendly and the dish was served very quickly. Very fresh products.

As a Berliner, I can describe the quality of the Luca as absolutely premium... it couldn't be better...

The guy licked his fingers while eating the cookie before preparing the food. Of course he didn't wash his hands... Disgusting!!!

We had gemüse schawarma and halloumi plate and both were so delicious! Service was so fast and staff was so friendly, especially Menderes helped us a lot! Highly recommended!

Sorry, but unfortunately that has little to do with a shawarma... the meat doesn't have the typical shawarma taste at all, but tastes like normal chicken kebab meat and unfortunately it's not even tasty. Then shawarma in a pita and without pickles? So it definitely didn't suit my taste and the sandwich also costs €7. In other shawarma restaurants, a better quality shawarma sandwich costs a maximum of €4.

Disrespectful old guy at the counter

The staff was really nice, but I have to say I really expected something different and was therefore disappointed.

Chilled ambiance,the meals are so mouth watering!!And the portions are just on point.

Ganz schlimm. Schawarma Teller war eine Katastrophe. Fleisch, Soße, ja selbst das Gemüse war nicht gut. Einmal und nie wieder. Gibt in der Gegend viele andere Läden, die richtig gut sind. Finger weg.

The best in town. The guys are the FRIENDLIEST, never disappointed here :)

Not a good shop now. The service is very rude and snaps at you for no reason and the food is on the lower level, no real nuances and two pieces of cucumber and tomato with a lot of very tasteless sauce. There's a sticker on the door saying that card payments are possible, but of course that's not the case. The waitress also “accidentally” calculated the order incorrectly (more expensively). No recommendation.

Delicious, good quantity, the only thing if you don't like strong spice, ask for it without spice, but I recommend it

No way for 4.6 reviews. Falafel was not cooked but I liked the way it’s more green than chickpeas inside.

Original handmade palestinian Falafel.

We decided to try this place because the reviews have gotten better but google is clearly unreliable here. It was disgusting undercooked chicken and vegetables. Truly unpleasant food. We will be going elsewhere in the future.

Falafel Dürüm with hummus (7€) tasted very good, I'll be back :) Salad was fresh even at night during the week!
