Restaurant Mardin Berlin Kreuzberg in Berlin

"Great restaurant!" ♥️ Authentic Turkish cuisine at its finest. Superbly seasoned, perfectly prepared – from lahmacun to lamb chops, everything is top-notch. Beautiful ambiance, traditional yet modern. 🔥 One of the best Turkish restaurants in Berlin!" 😋😋

The Mardin restaurant not only bears the city's name, but also much of its spirit. Anyone who has ever been to Mardin knows how colorful and diverse its people and cultures are, and this feeling comes across precisely here through the cuisine. The dishes are lovingly prepared, full of flavor and heart. You immediately notice that real skill and a great deal of passion go into this. The ambiance also impressed me. Many small details in the decor are reminiscent of Mardin's culture and create an atmosphere where you feel at home. One thing did stand out to me, though: In the entire hour I was there, I didn't hear any Kurdish music. I missed voices like Ahmet Kaya, Meryem Xan, Feqiyê Teyran, or Ayşe Şan. That's not a criticism; Turkish music is beautiful too. But these sounds in particular would have made the atmosphere even more authentic for me, the kind you'd experience if you've ever been to Mardin yourself. All in all, it's a really nice place that I'd happily recommend, with delicious specialties, lots of warmth, and a touch of Mardin right in the middle of Berlin.

The mussels and mumbar were delicious. Thank you.

The food was the worst I've ever eaten. The food was simply cold. The rice stank. It only gets one star because the salad was good. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't recommend going there.

We had lentil soup, it was very delicious, we paid 6.5 euros.

Excellent Turkish food, the falafel plate is highly recommended and the flatbread is a dream 😊

I was there, ordered two portions and got one portion. My questions weren't answered and the man was unfriendly when I asked something.

All kinds of food are so delicious, you must try them.

Local Turkish restaurant supported and used by local Turkish people, very authentic, well priced and friendly atmosphere. No frills just good food. Recommend booking if you don’t want to wait.

I've been there three times, and not once was I satisfied. They usually didn't have what I wanted, even though they had it on their menu, and the food was always old—at least a day or two old—and the meat was always raw. I'll never go there again, NEVER. (Belin)

I've been looking for kokorec in Berlin for two and a half years, I finally found it, it was worth the wait, very well prepared!

Probably the best Turkish food in Berlin! Thank you!

I was very impressed with the food. The mussels were excellent, as were the lentil soup and dessert. The service was excellent and prompt. I felt very comfortable, and the staff was friendly! Thank you 🙏

Falafel are out of this world wow here you can even be happy as a vegan ❤️💚

Excellent soups, it is probably the best lahmacun in Berlin, but the taste of the minced meat remained on my palate while eating it.

Turkish cuisine, unfortunately a little lacking in spices. Service is good

A place I came on recommendation. I ordered Adana and ali nazik. Adana had too much cartilage so I couldn't focus on the taste of the meat. Ali nazik's yoghurt was too runny and the aubergine was almost non-existent. Considering the prices, unfortunately this place failed. I definitely do not plan to come again.

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right here.

Best Kokerec in Berlin and the mussels sooo delicious

Expensive and service is ice cold. Waiters treat you like a nuisance. Not a friendly place. Food is just regular run of the mill Turkish with a big price tag.

From raw meatballs to lahmacun, from meat to liver, from tea to ayran, delicious and friendly service, the portions are quite big and filling, thank you.

You can enjoy good Turkish food here, and more than just kebabs. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant gets busy. The outdoor area is located right on Kottbusser Damm, so you have to like that kind of thing. The food is authentic Turkish and reasonably priced.

The salad wasn't fresh, kunefe was like having fried cheese, the shredded wheat was undercooked, and the prices weren't worth the food we ate. I wouldn't recommend it. I won't go again. It's just unattractive.

The food was a ten out of ten!!!! I was very satisfied with everything and will be back. Thanks for the great food 😇

The food is not good. I am Turkish and I know the Turkish cuisine very well. I hadAdana Kebap and my father Mardin Kebap. The meat was very hard and dry. Not juicy. The salad was the best: gavirdagi Prices are very high but value low.

I just bought 10 lahmacun for €2 each to take away. When I got home and unpacked, I found burnt lahmacun and garbage as a salad. I no longer trust this place, and I won't recommend it again. I actually enjoyed eating there occasionally with friends. But now it's over.

The staff are very nice and friendly. The food was reasonably good and not so good. The mumbar and sac tava were good, but the kokorec wasn't that good; the bread and kokorec were overcooked and burnt. So, I didn't think the price-performance ratio was good. Otherwise, you can find many different types of kebabs.

Just like in Qamişlo😍🥰😘 Mumbar cooked with real heart spicy, rich, and full of home One bite and you’re not in Kreuzberg anymore… you’re back in your mother’s kitchen

Relatively expensive for Turkish food

It's even more delicious than the mussels at Çeşme, and the staff is very friendly. The last time I ate sandy mussels was 8 years ago in Istanbul, and I was disgusted, but I've made peace with mussels again. ☺️ I highly recommend it.

It was the worst experience I've had in Berlin. We waited a long time for our food. The lahmacun was so hard it cut our mouths. The prices were also way over the top.

If you pay by card, be aware that you MUST tip at least five percent. We were not pleased at all.

Shut up—this is the best food I’ve had in a long time! Not that I’m a stranger to this cuisine, but it brought back a taste my tongue hadn’t remembered in ages. We kicked things off with a warm bowl of lentil soup—probably the healthiest way to start any meal (seriously, do your body a favor!). Then came a mixed plate of kebabs, two types of meze (Turkish starters), and lahmacun served with fresh greens and lemon. Unfortunately, the lahmacun didn’t quite hit the mark—it lacked the authentic flavor, so we ended up skipping it altogether.

I can only recommend it. Great restaurant. The owner recommended minced meat with cheese and pistachios, which was incredibly delicious. He was also very friendly and approachable, personally taking care of the reception and seating. The service was very friendly. We were beyond full, thank you for everything. We'll be happy to come back if we're in the area. I look forward to seeing you again and enjoying the friendly hospitality and delicious food. Until then, all the best and greetings from Tyrol.

Today we ordered the mixed grill plate, it was delicious. My son ate şırdan, we also asked for a package, they added a small piece of bumbar as a gift, we were very happy, everything was great, thank you very much. Good luck.

Yes oriental food and delicious

Unnecessarily expensive. The staff is unresponsive. Second, our order never arrived. The lahmacun was especially hard. My palate still hurts. I will never eat here again.

We were in Berlin for a three-day trip and chose this place for dinner. The mussels, çiğ köfte, appetizers, salad, meat, and kunefe were all delicious. I'd say it was even better than most restaurants of this style in Turkey. The liver was a bit tough, though. Our family was very pleased.

You can find almost anything in so many different areas. A beautiful restaurant in Berlin.

Good food not much to write about. Went there twice previously and was happy with service food presentation. This time presentation was not as before. The food was as before. No parking only street parking

The food was truly delicious. The waiters were also very polite. I recommend it to everyone.

Good food, esp the platters. Staff is polite and attentive as well. We were a group of 8 adults and everything was perfectly organised, from reservation to food and service. What would make it even better is if the platters came with some sort of a complementing dip :)

The taste of the kelle paça was very good👍

We went to Mardin in Kreuzberg – the place is cozy, the atmosphere pleasant, and the staff very friendly. We had made a reservation in advance, which was definitely a good idea, as it was quite busy. The ocakbaşı concept appealed to us, and the portions were generous – you definitely go home full. Overall, it was a nice evening, and the restaurant makes a good impression. However, I would have expected a bit more flavorful meat. For the price, some more tender, better-seasoned meat would have been nice. Nevertheless, Mardin is a solid choice for a pleasant evening with friends – and making a reservation is a safe bet.

We pretended not to hear the waiter who couldn't get a tip and cursed at us behind our backs, so as not to cause a scene. It's a worthless place, think twice, let alone eat, they don't even ask for the address.

There were two of us and we had, among other things, two different meat dishes for our main courses. Some of them were still raw inside. The waiter then courteously took the dishes back without any ifs or buts. After a while, the food came back "reheated," only to find that it was still partly raw. We then returned it. The waiter apologized again and asked for the dish to be re-plated or for dessert. Well, the result was stomach pain and diarrhea.

It's a very nice place, the food is very good, thank you for everything.

The meat was not fully cooked, the chef should have been more careful about this situation, the mussels were not good, I was expecting better, as mentioned, it is not a good place, on the contrary, it is bad.

The "Vali Platter" was super delicious; it was enough for the three of us. The service was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was also great...

I really loved the cuisine here and had enjoyed the food once and wanted to get back with a friend. As it was after a concert, I carried my cello with me and put it in a tight space between the outside tables and the wall, where it would have been safe without disturbing people‘s transit. Nontheless, a waiter grabbed it, trying to move it WITHOUT MY PERMISSION for FOR NO APPEARENT or LOGICAL REASON. As the restaurant was empty and there was very few people he could have passed definitely in another space. I got terribly upset and told him to stop immediately, but he continued, till I stopped him physically. Musician colleagues, NEVER GO THERE with your bigger instruments, as you will be treated as a second or third class person. I immediately left the place on the go as I didn’t feel safe anymore.

The food tastes delicious, the portions are generous. The service is very attentive, friendly, and fast. Highly recommended!

We happened to pass by. It looked appealing, was busy, and smelled delicious. We ordered appetizers and a grilled platter. Very well seasoned. Everything tasted truly delicious.

It's an expensive restaurant by Kreuzberg and Hermanplatz standards, with only 1 euro difference between a half portion of kokareç and a full portion. I don't think it lives up to its name. I went to a restaurant in Berlin thinking I could find good mussels, but unfortunately it wasn't good, or even bad.

My experience refers to my visit on June 6, 2025, between 8:00 PM and 8:45 PM. Two people. No reservation. We were shown to our table quickly. They gave us enough time (neither too little nor too much) to consider our choice and place our order. There isn't a very large selection (check out their website), and the dishes are expensive compared to other Turkish restaurants (sometimes €2-3 per dish on average). The food itself was very fresh and enjoyable. We ordered 3 Lahmacun, 1 Mardin Kebab, and 1 Mardin Kebab Special Kuzu (lamb). We were also offered free tea after our meal. What disappointed us: We had specially ordered iced tea*, which is not from the C*C* Cola Company, as we (and many other customers) boycott this brand! *The menu says ICE TEA ELEPHANT BAY, but we were served Fu*e Tea. I then asked the waiter why the menu says ICE TEA ELEPHANT BAY and not Fu*e Tea. According to the employee, the selection was subsequently changed, but not on the menu. I had previously called the restaurant to ask if there was a prayer room or at least a small corner where one could pray. Unfortunately, there isn't. It would be a nice gesture from the owner if even just one place could be reserved. You'd be happy to stay longer without being under time pressure. We chose this restaurant because it's one of the few with good reviews that also doesn't sell alcohol. Otherwise, the price is unfortunately a bit overpriced. I would probably go back if I couldn't find an alternative to Mardin Restaurant.

Today we had şırdan, Midye and Beyti. Şırdan and Midye were good but Beyti's lavash was not very good. It was a bit doughy.

While coming from Switzerland to Berlin, we trusted a friend’s suggestion and came to Mardin Soza. As soon as we entered the door, we could say that we experienced a real hometown atmosphere with the attention and care of the staff, the wonderful food, the ambiance and music. In addition, the extra attention of our dear friend Özgür Ölmez made us even happier. It is definitely a place I can recommend to people who will come to Berlin…

One of the rare places in Berlin that does kebabs and meze justice! Everything is fresh, the flavors are incredibly balanced. Especially Paşa Platte is like a feast. The service is fast, the staff is smiling and very attentive. The ambiance of the place is also very warm and authentic. I recommend it to everyone who loves Mardin cuisine. Everyone who comes here comes again and again, because the taste really makes a difference! 🌟

We ate there today and tried Şırdan and Mumbar for the first time – they tasted truly excellent! Unfortunately, our positive impression was severely dampened by several things. First, the food didn't arrive at the same time: I got my dish, and my girlfriend had to wait a full 20 minutes longer – that's unacceptable, especially in a restaurant. As if that wasn't unpleasant enough, the employee was very rude and unpleasant. After we left, we heard him say behind our backs that we had "tipped so little." We asked him about it, and he said it was just a misunderstanding – obviously because he didn't expect us to hear him. The food was really good, but due to the disrespectful behavior and poor service, we won't be coming back again.

The best Turkish/Kurdish food I've ever had in Germany. If I lived in Berlin, I'd go there at least twice a week.

A perfect place in Berlin, delicious, top-notch menus, satisfying kebabs, delicious service staff, smiling chef Baran, equipped our table, we were very pleased, we recommend it.

Super delicious food. The service is very fast and helpful. 💯

I recommend a nice place, the food was also very good... But unfortunately there was no place to pray 😔

Let's get to the food: A top rating, super delicious, and a maximum wait time of 10 minutes, super fast. Service: A-grade, the entire staff super, super thorough and friendly, simply TOP-notch, the boss should be proud of that. Thank you very much.

Great food Great service Thank you!

The kokoreç and mussel restaurant you will find open at night in Berlin. It is impossible to find a parking space. It is full at night. Kokoreç is made in Izmir and Istanbul style, we can say that its taste is neither bad nor good. There is a toilet inside. There is no special entrance for the disabled. The atmosphere is ok.

The food was delicious. We had lamb's head soup, dam, and eggplant cream.

I was just there with another person. We sat at the table for a while, and no one seemed to care. They wiped all the other tables, but not ours, even though they cleared the things on the table. They didn't even speak to us or ask us what we were doing. 😂

Great restaurant. Authentic Turkish dishes. Pleasant atmosphere. Very attentive, friendly service!

We ordered liver, the liver arrived burnt so we couldn't eat it, they said they would take it back, they did, so we ordered Adana instead. Adana was very good, I recommend Adana, but they made us pay for the liver we didn't eat.

Very tasty food We had to wait a bit until a table was free and clean, but it was totally worth it We were served straight away by very nice waitresses

The food tasted great. Service was great too. In the end we were full and satisfied. Gladly again.

Really great food and good service. The sheep's head soup took some effort at first, but it was excellent.

I can only recommend it, very tasty, clean, very, very friendly. Didn't have to wait, got a seat straight away, the food came quickly. I haven't eaten such a delicious midye (stuffed mussels) for a long time!!!! Gladly again 👍🏽

Great meze and lovely staff. The çig köfte was amazing. The homemade Ayran tastes lovely We had a great bite with 7 people from Turkish origin who also enjoyed it a lot.

Ordered a Kokoreç and an Ali Nazik here. Kokoreç was quite dry, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. Ali Nazik, on the other hand, resembled a poem. The meat was perfectly grilled and the garlic eggplant sauce tasted outstanding.

The store itself is really beautifully designed and tries to leave a well-kept impression on the outside. However, on May 1, 2025, an employee - possibly even the owner (just a guess) - was sitting outside, drinking his Çay and smoking a cigarette. When he was finished, he carelessly threw the cigarette and the packaging onto the street - quite naturally. Absolutely inappropriate behavior. When a woman got up from the next table and put the packaging back on the table, the staff initially reacted correctly: They asked the gentleman to come inside the shop. At first it seemed like they wanted to handle the situation properly. But a short time later the gentleman returned and sat down again in the same place. The woman and her companion were then asked by staff to leave the table. Does this mean the store condones or supports pollution? Such behavior is disappointing. If dealing with guests looks like this, I don't even want to imagine what it's like behind the scenes, for example in the kitchen. Unfortunately I can only give this experience 0 out of 5 stars.

Exquisite food. Lots of flavor, everything delicious and good service!

Food very dried out. Bad ambience. Totally overpriced. Never again.

When we first entered the restaurant, we were welcomed well, but unfortunately our subsequent experience was very negative. The taste of kokoreç was well below our expectations and unfortunately it spilled on us while the table was being cleared. One of my friends was even addressed in an inappropriate manner. Even when the bill was paid, a rude communication style occurred again. The general behavior of the waiter who looked after us was not pleasant. I think more emphasis should be placed on customer satisfaction and respect.

I just bought 5 wraps. But it would have been better if I had thrown away my money. I really wonder how a person can make wraps that make the meat so messy. Really disappointing….

Every person lives his own culture and his own values ​​within himself and reflects his own values ​​to others.

The food is very good, very delicious. I definitely recommend it. I've been there a lot since the first time. I can say that I am a regular. Whenever I have a guest, I can host them here with peace of mind.

We went as a group of four, based on the high Google rating. Even though we were late for our reservation, we called and they were kind enough to accommodate us. The staff were polite and helpful at the beginning. However, after serving the food, it felt like we were forgotten. As a Turkish person living in Munich, I have never really liked any of the Turkish restaurants there. I thought I would finally have the great Turkish food in Berlin, but it was disappointing. That said, it was still better than any Turkish restaurant I have tried in Munich. We started with a ‘meze plate’. Except for the carrot tarator (which was just mayonnaise.. ) and the hummus (which was too sweet..), the rest was decent. We ordered a ‘three lahmacun’ as starter too, but they were indistinguishable from frozen ones, very disappointing. Our main dishes were Beyti, a lamb Iskender (since they were out of döner), and a mixed grill. The Beyti was okay. The lamb in the Iskender was flavorful. In the mixed grill, the liver was quite dry, and strangely, the Adana kebab had carrots in it, I have never seen carrots in Adana kebab before. Both were honestly very bad. The lamb was well-cooked, and the chicken wings was nice. I do not recommend to order the mixed kebab because half of the plate is not good. Overall, I satisfied my curiosity. If this place were in Munich, I might visit again. But if I lived in Berlin or if this restaurant were in Turkey, I would not go back.

Simply a must, delicious, everything from the bread to the dessert, everything, cellar service, everything, thank you. always happy to come back. 47 LG

It was really tasty, the service was really good and the staff were really nice

It was very successful and delicious ☝🏻

Super tasty!!! Really great!!! The service is super friendly, fast and competent - the food is fabulous!! Price performance is top! We'll be back!!:)

Food was very tasty. The portions were rather small, but I would have expected more for the price.

We had high expectations based on the many positive reviews, but were unfortunately disappointed. The chicken was undercooked on the inside, while the remaining meat on the outside was badly burnt and almost looked like coal. The portions were rather small for the price and the bulgur was unfortunately cold. The staff was friendly, but that couldn't save the overall impression. The ayran was very tasty, the beyti was okay and much better compared to the meat. The restaurant is stylishly decorated, but based on our experience we wouldn't come back to eat there again.

Amazing! İbrahim Bey’e special thanks!

I come from Frankfurt and visited numerous restaurants during my stay in Berlin - but this one clearly stands out from all the others. The food was exceptionally good: freshly prepared, tasted excellent and prepared with great attention to detail. Each dish was a little highlight in itself. You can immediately feel that quality and authenticity are the focus here. I would also particularly like to highlight the service. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive and professional. I felt welcome and well looked after from the start. Overall, visiting this restaurant was a real experience. If you are looking for a special culinary moment in Berlin, I can only warmly recommend this house. I will definitely come back. Thank you.

Nice kokoreç, as good as in Türkiye.

At first, they were welcomed well, but then they acted harshly. The waiters looked at the place, don't be fooled, go try the kokoreç. It was tasteless, we didn't like it at all. I passed on that. There were no napkins, toothpicks, etc. on the table. There wasn't even a candy tablecloth. We ate on plain paper. When we asked for a napkin, they only gave us 1 napkin. I didn't understand why we have to go to the sink to wipe our hands for 3 people. I recommend that the tables be arranged urgently. As a waiter working in a hotel, I think it will not be like this. I recommend the change!!!!

The Mardin restaurant in Neukölln is a Turkish restaurant next to Hermannplatz. If you want to eat authentic Turkish food, there are a few neighborhoods in Berlin but there are a lot of good options around Herrmannplatz / Sonnenallee. There are really good grilled dishes here in Mardin too. The four of us had lunch there on Christmas Day 2024 and it was still quite empty. The staff was very friendly, gave us good advice about the food and we decided on a large plate for 2 people + a Sis Tavuk. The waitress offered to serve everything on the large platter, which we gratefully accepted. The plate for 2 people is easily enough for 3 adults. The four of us still had a lot left over, which we then packed up so we could eat it at home later. The taste was excellent, the different types of meat (Adana, Sis Tavuk, and Adana in a dough coating were super juicy and well seasoned, the salad was fresh and with a delicious dressing and the flatbread was nice and “chewy”, just the way I like it.

Very nice, well-kept restaurant with a large selection (including mud) of freshly prepared food on the grill. Very courteous service, primarily from Baran. All in all, a highly recommended restaurant!

We had İşkembe, Kelle Paça, Kokoreç & Mumbar We can recommend everything, except for the kokoreç, which was quite well filled, but there was too much bread or dough in the bread. So the taste wasn't 100% evident. The waitress was relatively unfriendly, maybe he was having a bad day or was tired because it was already after 11 p.m FYI: We paid €29.90 for 2 kokoreç & 1 mumbar.

food ( The grill was very good and reminded me of my days in Türkiye. I recommend trying it

Definitely not recommended! The food is tasteless, and neither the waiter nor the chef can guarantee that the food is halal!

The Mardin restaurant is simply fantastic! Modern ambiance, spotless bathrooms, and the food is always excellent. The variety of dishes surprises me every time I visit, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

The Mardin Restaurant completely won me over! The food was not only incredibly delicious, but also fresh and prepared with love. I was particularly impressed by the traditional dishes – a truly delicious experience! The service was also excellent: The staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The atmosphere in the restaurant is pleasant and inviting, making you want to linger longer. I will definitely return and can recommend the Mardin Restaurant to anyone who appreciates excellent food and great service. A true highlight!
