Masel Topf in Berlin

The “Masel Topf” is a wonderful restaurant with Jewish cuisine. Great location in the Kollwitzkiez and in the summer you can also sit outside. The food tasted great and the service was great. The ambience is wonderfully reminiscent of Berlin in the 1920s, even the wallpaper was stylish. At the end of the evening, a woman spontaneously played the piano.

Amazing!! Live music, lovely food and people ♡

We had a super delicious and pleasant breakfast there!

It may be that the food there is very tasty, but the boss is very unfriendly to the suppliers and wants to look at his cell phone to see the order. Don't even say hello and looking at your cell phone is actually not common practice because of data protection. It is enough if you tell him the name of who the delivery is for. As rude as he is to the drivers, you really get the feeling that it's not appreciated, even though we're making your business by delivering your food. Too bad.

Great food and cozy atmosphere!

Very friendly service, great food quality, living room atmosphere

Both the food and drinks were amazing. Ask for their special ice tea. We loved how they customise the ingredients according to your personal taste.

Dear owner, is it your intention that your waiters close the restaurant at 10 p.m. even though the official opening hours are until midnight? Unfortunately that seems very unprofessional

good matzo ball soup, great home made ice tea, nice people

Great, it was great. The Tel Aviv Mezze platter was great and so were the limos

Victor gave us a great evening. The food, service, ambience was great and the walnut chicken was unbeatable.

Diverse menu with Israeli dishes, all of which sound interesting, but you want to try them all... The decision fell on the mixed appetizer platter and the harissa chicken. Delicious. We will definitely come back.

Distinct nostalgic look and very warm welcome paired with tasty, hearty dishes. Had a great lunch with a friend!

A wonderful evening in the best company! You wouldn't want anything more ***Super delicious authentic food and tasty wine! Again soon!!!

The food was delicious, the staff was very accommodating and the atmosphere was very special. 100% recommendation!

We had reserved a table at 8 p.m. to have a lovely evening on October 3rd. When we arrived on time we were assigned a table at a very small distance. Then we waited for the menu... Other guests were served... We waited... After 25 minutes a waiter came... A suitable excuse was ready. We asked for drinks and an order was not taken. No MA appeared. We then left after another five minutes of waiting. It was a big disappointment for us to encounter such poor service.

Very very tasty, great service!

Wonderful food, totally friendly and attentive service, no rushing, everything totally quiet and pleasant and at the same time a very good price-performance ratio. I'd love to come back here!

Excellent food. A restaurant that doesn't value being as trendy or as eye-catching as possible, but rather simply providing good cuisine and good service and being successful at it. It was a great pleasure to spend an evening there and eat with such high quality.

Everything's fine. Almost like in Israel. Very varied and inspiring.

Victor was the very best ❤️ If the food wasn't so fantastic we would come back for it!

It was very tasty food and Victor was a very friendly waiter! We had a lovely evening and would love to come back. 💯✨☺️

Very nice atmosphere. Very polite service. Very good food and very good wines.

The food, atmosphere and service was amazing. So happy to have found this place!

Really cozy restaurant, very good food and such nice service! Highly recommended!

Very tasty food, very nice service, very cozy decor!

Friendly service, quick and attentive. Price-performance ratio is right, food is delicious.

Wonderful atmosphere and very tasty food.

Our server was super nice, made excellent suggestions and even offered to modify items for us. He was also upfront about any extra charges. The Tel Aviv Mule was excellent (strong though!)

Excellent food, outstanding service. Absolute recommendation if you want it to be a perfect evening.

Amazing gem just across from the Rykestraße Synogogue. Great ambiance in the outdoor seating, and staff with serious waiterly talent. Multilingual, as well. The chicken was perfectly tender, and the rissoto was unlike anything I'd ever eaten.

The place is really good and staff was also quite welcoming. The place offer's an outdoor seating giving the view of the famous street and the Wasserturm. The vegetarian options were also very delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Staff was friendly, the restaurant was nice and warm and the food was decent. I haven't had any Jewish food until I went here and ya was tasty, you can try👍

Excellent, modernly interpreted Israeli cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. You feel like you're in the living room. We were there for the third time and will be back. The menus are highly recommended. Really friendly and non-intrusive service.

Very tasty restaurant😍 We were also pleasantly surprised by the service, they were very attentive and tried to do everything for our comfort) We had a cooked menu and were happy to get acquainted with traditional Jewish cuisine😊

Very good restaurant, quality and service perfect

Very tasty food, service at the highest level. Maximum wonderful feelings and memories. We will definitely come back and more than once😍😍

Super authentic, friendly service and cute with the living room lamps in the outdoor area, looks great ✨

Perfect, super friendly and delicious as always

We had a wonderful breakfast with three people. Very tasty, whether savory or sweet. The portions were a very pleasant size and the coffee and orange juice were very good. We were able to sit outside on one of the last days of summer, but were not directly exposed to the sun as a great big tree cast a pleasant shade. Very comfortable chairs, the pleasant ambience on Rykestr., the friendly and fast service and of course the very pleasant host made it a wonderful breakfast. We will definitely come back for another visit, including for lunch.

Lovely food with really friendly staff. Such a great location as well! I recommend the Schackschuka and fresh juices

Very friendly people, very attentive service, wonderful location.

Awesome lunch, excellent food and High level service by Vittorio.

It’s best restaurant in Berlin!!!! Very tasty,great service 😻🫶🏼 We will come again and again👍🏻

Great brunch and great service! Definitely coming back :)

We‘re btw vaccinated ;-) But good Corona control (at least we were) Poor and for berlin pricey food (the good reviews do not realize better „Israeli“ and “Palestinian” food (sub set of menu is similar) is much much better elsewhere.) As as someone who has lived in Israel for many years this restaurant is a bit of „Masel“ but rather not so. We just got ahead of the game, and just got up and left.

Always happy & for all the haters: FU

Super tasty, beautiful guest garden, nice surroundings - great!

Delicious food, especially I could recommend Shakshuka which is done with a mixture of real vegetables and not just tomato sauce, good choice of homemade limonades, as apperitize not only standard mimosa but also super tasty and refreshing original apéro. Very friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend this place

This was certainly one of the culinary highlights of our trip to Berlin. Cosy terrace, lovely vintage interior and then the food…we just loved it! We had ladke mit lachs as a starter and then the famous Jeruzalem teller. Huge portions and excellent price/quality rate. Strongly recommended!

Delicious, finely balanced food! A little more spice would be welcome for my taste, but for my companions everything was exactly on point. Very nice, attentive service and nice jazz atmosphere.

There were four of us at Masel Topf and enjoyed a "trip to Jerusalem" - a 4-course menu that we all really enjoyed. The starters were great and varied. The soup was great and the grill plate was very tasty. We almost didn't finish dessert, which would have been a shame. Just under 40 euros per person is an absolutely fair price. If you are also lucky enough to be able to enjoy everything on the street terrace on a warm summer evening, then you have a perfect evening.

Super tasty and very nice location. Tip: If you take the mixed starters, you don't want the grill plate as the main course because there is quite a bit of overlap here. And don't worry about not having enough hummus, there's plenty with each course.

Mega delicious hummus! Food is also delicious and varied. Gin Basil Smash cocktails were great! The only drawback for us would be the service, which could be a bit better. There wasn't much going on and the waiters seemed stressed and it sometimes took a long time to be served. But overall we liked it :)

We dined here last night with a large group of people and it did not disappoint. The food is delicious and the portions are big so no one left hungry. Recommend the pastrami latkes and Jerusalem grill. Also the service staff are all friendly and very helpful and the restaurant is cool and has plenty of outdoor seating in beautiful Kollwitzkiez. Masel Topf is a favourite.

Food was very tasty. Service was super friendly. Just a little high in price. Recommended for a special evening.

The food was delicious, especially the chicken was very well cooked. Overall, the food could be more flavorful. For me, Israeli cuisine is best known for its great variety of spices, which I would have liked to have had more of. The drinks could be a little cheaper, I think 5 euros for water is disproportionate.

It is a nice restaurant opposite the Jewish synagogue in Prenzlauerberg. The café next door was packed, but there were still seats here. We weren't disappointed, my wife had the delicious Shakshuka (very good) and I had two breakfast toasts with salmon and scrambled eggs. Everything was very tasty, nice service, with a little room for improvement.

Best shakschuka! Nicest service and the most beautiful district anyway! :))

Cozy, atmospheric and beautiful restaurant in a nice neighborhood. Tasty food and good wine at a normal price Too bad about that one rude waiter/manager(?) who did not know true Israeli cuisine and completely, deliberately and blatantly ignored a single person at the table up to 5 times. Fortunately, there was another waiter who knew how to approach his clientele. My stars are only for him, the chef, the interior and the location. I won't come back here as long as the waiter/manager works there...

We had the stuffed fish and the harissa corn chicken. Both tasted very good, and the flavors were closer to European than Levantine cuisine, but still with an interesting twist. Very good service and appropriate portion size for the price.

I've had better Israeli food, but the overall package was okay. It was probably once a cozy Berlin restaurant or inn. They kept some of the old interior, I found it cozy. Service was good and quick.

I eat here almost every time I visit Berlin because no matter what you order, everything is delicious. Top service, attentive, warm, polite, as you wish.

A bit of a tourist trap. Food ok but wines are hugely overpriced. Hospitality is so so. Give me your money and go away kind of vibe.

Nice outdoor area, top service. The food wasn't to our taste, but the restaurant can't do anything about that. Quality was great

Lovely brunch experience. Great service and very good food. Underrated for sure!

Friendly neighbor with Jewish cuisine entertains guests with evergreens on the piano on Friday from 8 p.m.

So bad ! Nothing original, stealing recipes from other cuisines and claiming its theres

Attentive waiters and delicious food, a varied menu and wine selection as well as non-alcoholic drinks. Clear recommendation from us.

We had a number of meze and a falafel plate. Very good, great hummus, great falafel. Only the Baba Ganoush didn't work at all, the fridge was cold, dry and had an unusual consistency. Great Israeli white wine. The furnishings are very reminiscent of my grandma's living room, dusty, unmodern, no Israeli vibe at all, more East Prussia, Poland or Russia. But a clear recommendation for the food!

My husband and I dined here on our wedding anniversary. The food was fantastic!! Very friendly atmosphere, we will definitely come back.

Run away from this place. We waited 2 hours to get our second course on the four we ordered , we decided to leave the place before the end of our order, just wanted to pay what we ate, and the restaurant made us paid for all the food we did not eat because they were so much late in their kitchen. Very bad experience. N . E.

The staff was super friendly and very concerned about the guest's well-being. The cuisine is excellent. We'd love to come back.

The service and the ambience make it really difficult for me to only give 3 stars. Unfortunately the prices, especially for the menu, are not justified at all. In the end we paid €82 for a small starter plate, a small dessert plate, two minced skewers each, small pieces of chicken and falafel for the main course. The rest is mostly filled with salad and hummus. The biggest point for me was that the soup with the matzo balls was definitely not freshly made. I don't know if it was the soup or the dumplings. I have a very strong intolerance to preservatives, so the physical reaction unfortunately means I can always tell very quickly whether it's fresh or not. A pity :(

israeli food is not real it’s palestinian food. they’ve stolen everything even the food. this is outrageous

Something different, Israeli cuisine. Very tasty, nice atmosphere in the Prenzl Kiez. To recommend!

Very friendly staff and delicious food. Price-performance ratio is absolutely right. Unfortunately, like in many other restaurants, the wheelchair toilet is used as a storage room and is not available to wheelchair users.

But the ambience is good. BUT… So rude AND what's actually going on with your food? This is the second time!!!! Flatulence and stomach aches... Hands off the Jerusalem Grill... it's not possible...!! Watch out! I do not come anymore.

Wonderful breakfast at this cute lil place near the Wasserturm. Super-friendly service & delicious house-cured salmon.

Good food at slightly higher prices. The staff seems distant (typically Eastern European), which some might find unfriendly. But they always tried to help.

Tender lamb, juicy fish, tasty humus! Nice place in the very heart of Prenzlauer Berg! Prices are quite high, but the meal worth it!

The food was good overall. The pearl barley risotto was excellent; at the Jerusalem Grill the meat could have been hotter. The atmosphere in the restaurant and the service were exceptionally good and deserved more than 5 stars. I immediately felt comfortable and welcome. The service was very attentive but not intrusive. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

I don't think I've ever eaten such delicious eggplant before. We ordered the tahina and Jerusalem counter and really enjoyed it. Recommended!

Amazing place to dine, feels like your invited to dinner by family - very cozy atmosphere, live piano music (Friday & Saturdays around 9pm), super friendly staff, delicious food & great drink selection. 10/10 would recommend and will be back soon 👍

A very tastefully decorated restaurant with a beautiful terrace in front of it. The very friendly service and the beautifully presented and delicious food make us want to come back. Recommended!

Really tasty, we've rarely eaten so well, the service was excellent, we/I will definitely come back. Thank you for the lovely evening

We ordered the „popular Hummus“. But it came with a human hair on top. It was disgusting to have a hair on my plate. On top of that, the service didn’t manage to put the stray cats away from the restaurant. These cats walked all over the place which made the dinner unenjoyable. Sorry but I expected better.

Very nice restaurant, excellent food, attentive and friendly service. Delicious cocktails. Gladly again!

Ive sat there with my girlfriend and the service was horrible. We are both Israeli and the waiter did not even recognize the dishes and barely paid any attention to us treated us very poorly.

Great food - a highlight especially for vegetarians! Please be very hungry: the portions are huge! Great atmosphere and if the weather is good you can sit outside. One of the most beautiful street corners in Prenzlauer Berg!

Extremely yummy! Friendly staff. Cool photos on the wall.

Be careful with p.p. Small letter make a difference so for non Germans it a big one

Worst food i've ever eaten The hummus is tasteless the falafel is dry and the price is 2 high for this kind of quality. Never gonna eat here again

The person who took our orders made mistakes but then blamed us for choosing the wrong drink... its a big no to in the service business. The couliflower was not baked at all, served with very bizarre dressing, nothing like we eat in Israel. The hunmus and baba ganoush was store bought, and the malabi (dessert) was not malabi at all, it was normal panakota. I am not just disappointed by the experience, I am ashamed as israeli jewish chef myself... big tourist trap. The only good thing is the atmosphere, the decorations on the walls and such.

Nice service and delicious food at reasonable prices. You should reserve in advance.

We decided to go eat a Friday dinner at a restaurant that would remind us of home, but the food was far from Israeli food, apart from the Kandeilach soup which was delicious, the Jerusalem Grill was not successful for us, the dish comes in a sort of over-baked Lapa bowl inside which was a batter of meat, hummus, vegetables and something called a salad Eggplant, but it has nothing to do with eggplant salad...disappointing, we expected more.

Looked promising, but unfortunately not good service at all (advice on food & wine was almost unfriendly), combined with the comparatively high prices, not a good experience.

Nice restaurant, well suited for a meal with friends or a small celebration.

Cash payment only, but the invoice says “card payment”. Food is good and imaginative, prices are excessive, especially for drinks, and far too high for wine. Service good. Ambience is good. When the place is full, it gets too loud.

Delicious food and good ambience directly opposite the synagogue on Rylkestr. at the beautiful water tower. If you want to visit PrenzlBerg, you can't pass this corner anyway and a nice dinner at Masel Topf is a good way to end it. In summer it's also good to sit outside in front of the restaurant. THE salt-sprinkled caramel chocolate cake with salty sour cream is a poem!
