meet me halfway Berlin in Berlin

A wonderful first experience with Iranian cuisine – simple, tasty food and generous portions.

The food was super tasty and the service was top. We had a mixed starter platter and a main course, with bread, yoghurt and salad. That was enough for 2 people. The salad dressing is to die for. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for the great evening

Very beautifully designed. Not the best Iranian food of the city and not the best and friendliest service.

The cuisine is of outstanding quality, with exquisite flavors that delight the palate. The staff exemplify warmth and professionalism, ensuring a truly memorable dining experience.

Nice place and hospitality, quality of food is good and fresh.

The food is really fantastic! I just really enjoyed it :) the tables between the window and the bar are separated by narrow paths, which bothered me a bit. The space is nice, but I felt it was missing some personality. The staff was friendly :) I highly recommend eating here! Treat yourself ❤️

Delicious, but a bit on the expensive side.

Sweet spot with a nice atmosphere. The avocado salad was rather bland with no spices, oil or another dressing. T

Sehr schön! The place lives up to its ratings — authentic, fresh, and flavorful food with friendly staff. I’d probably choose something other than the salads (chicken and avocado), though — not because they were bad, but because the other dishes were simply much better😌

Persian breakdast was super great and varied. The only minus was the waiting time, something around 30 minutes or more.

Meet Me Halfway in Berlin is an absolute gem for Iranian cuisine. The food is incredibly delicious — rich in flavor, authentic, and made with so much care. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the hospitality makes you feel right at home. Every time I travel to Berlin, it’s my go-to spot. Highly recommended!

Excellent, we loved the flexibility by the staff to fit everyone in. Slightly noisy though

They're simply perfect and their food has superb quality. as an iranian i know persian food taste and here you can experience it at its max. And above that from the international point it is also very professional. I can only recommend it.

Great food & great atmosphere!!!

Delicious Persian food with great vegan options!

A success, fresh and abundant food, good atmosphere and excellent service. Highlight the kindness of the Peruvian waitress and Matías, the Argentine cook. In addition to the owners who were very helpful. 100% recommended PS: we are the group of canarians who were learning German. 04-04-25.

The Persian Food Junction is real, and if you want to find a table, a pre-reservation is recommended. The interior is cozy but not very spacious, so you may get a corner table or bar counter unless you have a party of more than two. It is quite close to the S-Bahn Nordbahnhof and also accessible by road if you are coming by car. Standouts are the authentic-seeming Iranian cutlery and decor. The staff is accommodating, however, you must order at the counter. Regarding the food, it's okay, and I have had better Persian food experiences in Germany and elsewhere. I ordered traditional Gheymeh, which came with a large portion of saffron rice and a small bowl of salad. The Persian tea I ordered tasted as okay as my regular tea tastes, but costs €4.90. So, it's somewhat pricey! Overall, I would rate it 6.5/7 out of 10.

It’s definitely my favorite Resturant in Berlin. The ambiance is magnificent. The food is delicious. I go there at least once a month

Good food, but too vegan! Not even the not vegan options did not seem to have the appropriate amount of meat ratio. Persian food is not that vegan. This one seems to be very much influenced by local Berlin approach. I’ve had Persian in London and Paris and it was different.

It was very small and there wasn’t a comfortable space to sit. Our table was right in front of the kitchen, even though we had a reservation, and the staff kept walking back and forth, which was really annoying. But the food and service were excellent.

I had a fantastic experience at [Meet me halfway]. The food was fresh, delicious, and prepared with love. The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I'll definitely be back and would definitely recommend it.

Very good! Fresh ingredients and a perfect place to meet a friend.

Mediocre: the saffron rice is mostly white rice with a thin layer of saffron rice on top. The grilled vegetables had no taste, the tomato sauce was just passata. The chicken and herb omelette were very good though!

This restaurant is a little gem, the waiter (probably the manager) bends over backwards to find you a place, he has an incredible smile and boundless energy! The dishes are delicious and definitely worth the detour. We recommend with your eyes closed!

Wonderful restaurant with delicious food and great atmosphere! I had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant and absolutely loved it. The food was not only very tasty, but also fresh and prepared with a lot of love. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, making you immediately feel welcome. In addition, the ambience was beautiful - a cozy and stylish interior that invites you to linger.

Food 2 / Price 4 / Ambience 4 The food was okay for the price, but nothing special. It was very loud and difficult to hold a conversation. Very friendly staff, easy reservation, clean.

Delicious and hearty food with excellent service.

super delicious food and very friendly service :-)

The best chocolate pancakes I've ever had!!

1. Gorgeous plating to please the eyes 2. Healthy food 3. It tastes good too I recommend Wild Basil!

Excellent friendly service, delicious food and a relaxing atmosphere

Hi, although I'm very open to Persian cuisine, the prices at this establishment seem overly ambitious, so I'm unlikely to become a customer here. All the best to the establishment, though; they'll surely find their customers.

we were disappointed with the quality of the breakfast.

Warm service and amazing menu with fresh flavors. I can recommend almost everything (but especially Ghormeh Sabzi)

Hearing on site about a time limit that differs from the reservation is stupid. We won't come either way

The food was very bad and overpriced, but the service was nice and friendly, but the whole restaurant smelled like fish. 40% of the food was left over because it didn't taste good.

This place is as authentic as it gets. The pilau rice dishes are what you want to order when visiting here. They were phenomenally good! We had the chicken and the lamb option each. Each came with a salad. They also do breakfast. I think the breakfast options are on the expensive side. The cake selection isn’t the best. One issue is that, they don’t switch on the extractor fan. All our clothes came out smelling like kebab. This is was a little annoying especially as we had planned to be out for most of the day.

Excellent food, the restaurant is small so I recommend to book to be sit in a proper table. The owner was super nice and tried to find us a spot, but can be very crowded and a bit loud. The food however was worth the little downsides, delicious and recommended!

I visited this place with my friends and colleagues for already more than 10 times and every time I was fully satisfied with the food and also is the service. They have great variations of Persian food and I highly recommend “Ghormeh Sabzi”, “Ofen kebab”, “Gheymeh” and “Hänchen”

Terrific family-owned place, one of my best discoveries since moving downtown. The food is delicious with simple yet highly appealing presentation, the service is prompt and friendly, and the charming decor tops it off. The menu is not large but it's very diverse. Be sure to ask for the separate wine chart (or take the staff's recommendation... or both) and consider booking ahead as it's not a large place. I'm definitely set to become a regular.

Great food! The homemade basil lemonade was very interesting 🙏

Hello, I came several times last year. Your Iranian food, especially the stews, was very tasty. It is clear that a professional chef cooked it, but a few days ago, when I came with my friends, we ordered a few meals.

I was here for dinner with colleagues and we had a great evening. The food came quickly, was super tasty and the employees were very charming. The only thing that was a bit tiring in the long run was the noise caused by the conversations of the guests (it was just full). Nevertheless, I will definitely come back and can highly recommend it. Thank you :)

Food service and everything was perfect

We've been here several times, the food is very good, the prices are reasonable. It's quite loud there, so you sometimes have to shout at each other across the table. The sound quality could perhaps be improved a bit. We always like to come back!

Very disappointed with this restaurant! The waitress is unfriendly and almost nothing is homemade. The presentation is pretty but the taste of the dishes is not up to par at all. Chai latte is made with a syrup (or a ready-made powder), and is way too sweet. I doubt the pancakes are homemade and they come with industrial bottled chocolate sauce. I thought the vine leaves were going to make up for the rest because they were pretty good, until I saw them coming straight out of a can... Go elsewhere, there's much better in Berlin

Tasty food and good service! Very good for brunch. The portions are very big.

We “pitchfork hipsters” wanted to test out the capital’s cuisine and chose this Persian restaurant. We were looked after and served by a very friendly, attentive team. We drank delicious homemade cucumber lemonade and fruit milkshake, as well as a chicken sandwich and a spinach sandwich...all incredibly delicious. 🫶👏😋

Amazing amazing food! Great service and very helpful staff. Love the authenticity of the food to its roots of Iran and the modern atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit! Wished I lived here to come all the time.

Speechless how this restaurant got so many good reviews. The food is a humiliation towards authentic Persian cuisine. The rice was so dry and not well flavored as you would expect it. The chicken was as also dry and all sauces to our meal were nearly flavorless. We sat outside, literally no service there, except bringing the food. Again, we had to learned the lesson that only because it looks good on Instagram, and some hipsters are sitting in it, it doesn’t mean at all that you’ll get good food and service there. Big disappointment!

Each of the 4 dishes was extremely tasteless. The rice cakes were extremely dry and only tasted like eggs. Overall, absolutely not recommended. Service hardly available.

We had an absolutely wonderful meal at meet me halfway. As persians we found the food to be very authentic and homestyle! Excellent environment, wonderful hosting on behalf of Mehdi and his ability to make you feel so comfortable and familiar as if you've met once before. Thank you, will 10/10 come again. I highly recommend asking for a shot of their house gin in any of their handcrafted non alcoholic drinks for an amazing improvised cocktail.

This review is for the bad attitude of the owner who is responding to all the negative reviews here. No sign of self awareness. Always the other peoples fault. How could anybody dare to doubt the unquestionably quality of this restaurants food and service. And don’t Americanize everything here. Forcing to pay tip even before having tasted the food, without even having waitresses?

Maybe I was just unlucky - the falafel salad was a bad joke.

Small but nice. Very good food, very nice and helpful service. Unfortunately, when it is full it is very loud.

Unfortunately not as good as it looks.

Modern, simple atmosphere; small but nice. The food was really delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the restaurant!

Don’t understand why this restaurant has so many good reviews. They literally serve ketchup with my chicken that tastes awful and they didn’t even serve a spoon with their persian dishes. Also safran not good quality. And the bread tasted like from 3 days ago.

Amazing food,friendly staff.Overall Superb hospitality

Fancy Persian modern restaurant with many vegan options. Had the vegan mix, loved the hummus the babaganush not much of my taste. Fast service and nice atmosphere

Really nice restaurant but its safer to do a reservation since its not too big. Good food and drinks and reasonable prices for the area. The atmosphere is great overall with simple but nice decoration

Amazing food and friendly staff. We went there 2 times in a row and had ghorme sabzi, akbar jooje, loubia polo, tahchin and oven kebab. Highly recommend the loubia polo and oven kebab.

Delicious and unusual food. Had Persian Chicken. Generous portions. Very tender. Beautiful spices. Came back for take away Cold Killer Tea. Knock Out flavour. Back to Berlin in 6 weeks and will be back

Really really delicious food and a very nice and pleasant service. Better book a table, as it is a small restaurant and a lot of people seem to know about the quality of the food! We will definitely come back!

food was quite bland and with meet of whatever quality; the waiter was nice and the place is quite charmin, nice pillows

The stews are great, Tahchin should be a bit juicier. Akbar jujeh was so so. Faloudeh bastani was just right. The Ayran (doogh) was amazing, same as Tehroon juice. Service and hospitality was perfect. Oh, and stuffed grape vines were heavenly!

It is the best Iranian restaurant in the Berlin.

One of the best experiences we have ever had.

I was there in August 2024, excelent food 💫 I promised I will write a review for them but I forgot hahaha

The food quality and variety were good, with an almost authentic touch. Portions could be more generous, and the Tahchin a bit juicier. The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant has a lively, cool vibe—definitely not a quiet spot for romantic dates.

Very friendly atmosphere, professional staff and above all very tasty 😋

Beautiful small and fine restaurant in the heart of Berlin. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented to the eye. A very good start to Valentine's Day. The menu is very varied and there is something for everyone. Keep it up, aunt

Chicken was totally dry and generally lacked flavor. Too bad. ADDENDUM: A lawyer tried to remove my review (claiming that I wasn't a customer). “Unfortunately” I had a bill. This method speaks volumes!!!!!!

Very delicious! Kind and funny staff! 100% recommend.❤️❤️❤️

An amazing experience in short. The food was really good. It was my first time trying Persian food and it did not disappoint. I asked a few questions about 'how' to eat the different food dishes that were presented to me. The servers helped me without any judgement and even gave some extra tips that helped me to enjoy my dishes even more! The setting of the restaurant is really nice as well with a self-service ordering system. They also have a small section with different sweets that can be eaten as snacks. Even though I didnt order any special Persian drinks, the group of french girls next to me ordered some and all the drinks really looked good. The close setting of the restaurant also encourages conversations with strangers if that is something you like! On the whole it was a very pleasant experience and I can highly recommend this place for people who want to explore Berlin and especially Persian food!

Very nice evening, very tasty food, very nice service, the only thing that could be adjusted would be the volume by using more sound-absorbing materials

Rarely eaten so deliciously. We actually wanted to have breakfast but then decided on main courses. I can only recommend the Persian dishes, everything looked very, very tasty. Price, performance, quality and service are simply top.

Great food, we where a party of 8 and the food was dam delicious. We will be back, eventually.

Overall a good restaurant with a nice diversity of savory and sweet dishes. The food was tasty without being that different or better than other similar restaurants in Berlin. Reservation online is recommended and card payments are possible. The place can be quite noisy when full

The food is delicious, and the traditional dishes are amazing. The atmosphere is great, but one owner was quite unfriendly. When he brought the last plate, we asked for cutlery since we had it at our previous table before moving due to the cold. Instead of a simple response, he reacted rudely, saying he first serves all dishes and didn’t understand why we asked. Later, he brought salt and pepper with a sarcastic, "I'll bring these too before you ask." Seriously? That attitude was unnecessary for such a small request. Then, there was another misunderstanding during payment, and he responded with the same rudeness. His attitude really took away from an otherwise great experience

One of the best experiences what i had :) Thanks

We made a reservation for 8 people a week ahead. On the morning of the visit, it was suddenly cancelled. When I called, the lady on the phone first spoke English, but when I asked about the reservation, she pretended she couldn't speak English anymore. When I switched to German, she pretended that it was her first day at work and she couldn't help me. Terrible experience and awful inconvenience. Cannot recommend this place. Edit: Uploading email screenshots as a proof of my claims, due to insincere review response from the owner. Sadly, I cannot share follow-up phone conversation as well. If you already cause inconvenience, at least be sincere about it.

Great food, amazing staff, great service.

Amazing food, definitely try the Hammas. The service is slow but the taste is worth the wait

A lovely place for brunch. Tasty, beautifully presented dishes and friendly staff. Lots of brilliant options for vegans. Looking forward to my next visit!

I'm pregnant and recently visited Meet Me Halfway because I was in the mood for something special. Even though the restaurant was fully booked, the team still managed to find a place for us - I'm incredibly grateful for that! The akbarjuje was tender and flavorful, and the stews immediately reminded me of my grandmother's cooking 👵🏻rich, comforting and full of love. The warm atmosphere and excellent service made the visit unforgettable. Thank you for showing so much heart ❤️🙏🏻 I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

The food is exceptionally good, but the rooms are very humid when in full operation due to poor exhaust air.

Top, top, top! Loved it. We had adaspolo, which is the vegetarian dish of lentils in rice and Gheyme, that is the split peas curry with rice. Their persian noodle soup and lemonade are also really nice.

Das persische Restaurant Meet Me Halfway hat uns wirklich begeistert! Die Gerichte waren authentic und wurden im Family-Style serviert, was sofort ein Gefühl von Gemeinschaft geschäfen hat. Besonders das Ghormeh Sabzi, Irans Nationalgericht, war georgendt begeberatt – eine echte Seltenheit in Deutschland. Trotz fehlender Rezervung wurde uns im vollen Restaurant schnell ein Tisch organized, was die herzliche Art der Hostess, Frau Mivanid, unterstreicht. Sie hat uns mit ihrer warmen und einladenden Ausstrahlung direkt wohlfühlen lassen. Das moderne und zeitgemäße Ambiente war ein spannender Kontrast zum klassischen Persische Essen, das mit Liebe und Perfektion wurde serviert wurde. Meet Me Halfway is definitiv ein Ort, den wir gerne weiterempfehlen! Meet Me Halfway Iranian Restaurant really impressed us! The dishes were completely authentic and served in a family style that inspired a sense of intimacy and sharing. Vegetable stew, Iran's national dish, was perfectly prepared - something rarely found in Germany. Although we did not have a reservation, the restaurant staff quickly prepared a table for us in the crowded space. Ms. Mivanid's warm and inviting behavior made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. The modern and contemporary decoration of the restaurant had an interesting contrast with the traditional Iranian dishes, which were served with love and care. Meet Me Halfway is definitely a place we will recommend to others!

I‘m Persian and spoiled by my mums cooking skills. But this place was an absolute highlight when it comes to high quality Persian cuisine with the feeling of homemade traditional dishes! Yes yes yes! I’ll be back with the whole family.

If you are persian and you want to eat a true Persian food.. you must come here. Great hospitality and gorgeous place.

Food was ok, we had a sandwich and a plate with egg and the full breakfast. I heard a beeping sound very similar to a microwave, for the price I expect my grilled vegetables not to be warmed up in the microwave. However, the drinks were very good.

Food are too good as well as ambience. Plenty of brunch options.

If you are looking for a healthy food in Berlin, try this restaurant.

I think this is the most beautiful restaurant I’ve visited in Berlin. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I sincerely recommend it to anyone looking to try something different.

The breakfast was delicious, although we have had much tastier sourdough bread. However, the poached eggs were normal fried eggs. The price-performance ratio wasn't quite right, but we would come by again to give the warm dishes a chance. The staff and the atmosphere were really pleasant.

Ich habe den Gesmack des Essens wirklich genossen. Mit einer warmen und angemengen Umgebung. Und auch die vorstanden Behandlung und der vorstanden Service haben mir eine gute Erfahrung beschert. I really enjoyed the taste of the food. With a warm and pleasant environment. And also the excellent treatment and excellent service made me have a good experience.

Very tasty breakfast. Great selection of breakfast variations & smoothies. 😍 Very cozy and modern atmosphere.

Hile hub! Bale! Amazing! Very delicious

10/10 the food was delicious and the vibe is very comforting
