Restaurant Mardin Berlin Kreuzberg in Berlin

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 😔

Great food Great service Thank you!

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.

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

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.

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

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. 😂

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.

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

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….

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.

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

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 very successful and delicious ☝🏻

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.

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

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

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!

Simply the best restaurant in Kreuzberg, everything was great

An absolute top restaurant! The quality of the food is outstanding - every dish is prepared with great attention to detail. You really feel like you're in Mardin here, both in terms of taste and atmosphere. A big thank you to the entire team for the excellent service and especially to the owner, who lives true hospitality and knows exactly what first-class gastronomy means. We'll definitely be back!

The chop was undercooked and still raw inside. The chicken wasn't cooked properly either. It was inedible and should not have been served as such. We're definitely not coming back!

We ate in the restorant today, the food was very bad, we had ordered the chicken skewer, it was full of bacon, the hand was dark, the rice was very cold, I don't recommend my family to go there.

A really great restaurant! The vegetarian platter is delicious, but so much that we had to have the rest packed up. The staff is very nice and incredibly friendly and attentive. When we are back in Berlin we would like to come back

A variety of delicious dishes from Turkey. Family-friendly and alcohol-free. I can recommend everything from the menu, professional preparation and the eye can eat with it :))

Very cozy in oriental modern furnishings, you can relax and enjoy

The food was oysters or mussels with grilled lamb ribs and baba gonoush and kefir buttermilk Everything was delicious and excellent With Turkish and nostalgic decor

The food is amazing. Big portions

Excellent every time. Service is consistently friendly, courteous and polite. The food is varied and the variety of dishes we have already eaten were served warm and were very tasty. We keep coming back and it's a must for us!

Great service Delicious. Lamb skewer Lamb intestine stuffed

The food is great, the price is affordable, the service is nice, the atmosphere is very good

Even though we had to wait in line to find a place to sit, the attitude of the waiters was excellent.

Very tasty food and a very friendly staff. Your worker Erkan in particular did a great job and was very polite. I would come to this place to eat more often if I had the same waiter as Erkan

Absolutely recommended! We were warmly welcomed by the staff and the food arrived very quickly ❤️ the quality also speaks for itself so I would go there again at any time!

delicious food and cool athmosphere

The food is really very good. Unlike other Turkish restaurants, Mardin Restaurant offers some different dishes. It was very busy on the weekend, so reservations are recommended.

I ate there with two friends on Saturday and had stomach pain and loose stools two days later As I noticed. That's where you go if you want to show something, so it really doesn't taste like it seems. You wait a really long time, but the waiters are really very very friendly, you have to give them credit for that otherwise I won't go there again and won't recommend it.

Zehr full. Staff are very friendly. Food wasn't that good. No taste like they present...

Super tasty. Very friendly staff. Everything perfect. I fell in love with the Ayran again 😁

Everything was great, thank you Mr. Yaman

It was tasty and friendly staff (Mr. Yaman). Highly recommended

I went to Martin and came back, thank you very much Mr. Yaman.

Update You have to try the traditional food 😉 We were there again yesterday, absolutely great....... From the service to the food........ Great food, everything a little different and better... Very friendly service. Thank you

Great staff, excellent food, delicious drinks, nice ambience, great service. Only the toilet could be cleaner and more modern.

We tried kokoreç and stuffed mussels, and were generally satisfied. Kokoreç was cooked well, neither too oily nor dry, and the seasoning was just right. The mussels were also fresh but could have been a little more plump. The service was really fast, our order arrived quickly. The environment of the place was simple and clean, and the employees were attentive. Prices are reasonable. It's a place worth trying for kokoreç lovers.

God bless your hands, it was very nice 👍

The food is ok but the waiters are very unfriendly

The food was very good, we would like to have a restaurant like that in Nuremberg 😊 The meat dishes were very good and the chicken skewer was very juicy. Everyone ate was a dream. The service was super friendly. The only thing you have to accept is that you made a reservation but had to wait in the entrance. If they had the possibility of a waiting area, that would be great. I would come again :)

Incredibly perfect taste! I would like to thank Mr. Özgür Ölmez. You are amazing bro! Thank you very much to everyone who contributed! Best regards and greetings!

The portions are generous and attractively designed. The lamb chops are among the best I've ever eaten, although some dishes have too much sugar (syrup?), especially the salads and cig köfte. The service, on the other hand, is nothing to complain about; you never have to call someone over, because the waitress comes by regularly to check that everything is going well (that's how it should be). Ambiance: too narrow for my taste, i.e. too many tables in the room. But if you like it...

The food was freshly prepared, the staff was friendly, but not interested if the food was to our satisfaction. The meat meal was far too greasy, the bulgur had completely soaked in the oil/butter, costed 24,-€. The mixed salat (main course) was 60% onion, 5% tomatoes, and 35% lettuce. Also very greasy and costs 9,90€. The ambiance was cold, and there were too many tables put in the room. Overall not a good experience, which was way too expensive.

This is the first Turkish restaurant that I rate in Germany with 5 stars. The food is just great, we had a grill plate and Midye. Mr. Özgür Ölmez gave us good advice and service. Top service!

super delicious food and great service

One of the best and tastiest restaurants in Berlin. Large portions and the charcoal taste is amazing, I also highly recommend the Ciköfte and my absolute highlight are the stuffed mussels with fresh lemon.

This is the second time I've been here in a year. I've never met chefs who prepare meat as poorly as they do here. It feels like déjà vu. On the first visit the meat was already burnt and although I complained about it, it was served burnt again. When eating it, I really couldn't detect any flavor due to the charred meat. Please change the chef or listen to the customers. The same was true for the Kokoreç. It was cold inside too. The only positive things were the friendliness of the waiters and the delicious rice pudding.🤦🏽

Thanks for your great foods , especially kokorec was amazing. Absolutely will visit next time .

I can only recommend the restaurant. The meat is very tender and tasty. Price/performance ratio was good. Big thanks also to our waitress Baran, he looked after us around the clock. Thanks

I was here for the first time. I can recommend it to everyone as a small group here. The food was incredibly authentic and delicious. Many thanks also to the great service from Baran.

A solid original Turkish kebab restaurant with plenty of options, the lahmacun is worth trying. Attentive staff, fair prices, and a decent choice in the area.

There is a huge difference between the Mardin restaurant of 1 year ago and the current restaurant. If they reduced the portions a little more, the plate would disappear. Instead of a porcelain plate, the meals are served on a plastic melamine-style plate. There is no salad, no rice, etc., the quality of everything has decreased greatly, and you have to pay an undeserved amount. You are getting up. It was a place we loved going with our family and friends, but not anymore.

Great food and a good selection from the charcoal grill. Always my pleasure!

Service personnel are friendly and provide quality service. There is plenty of food variety. Everything is really delicious 🙏

I went to this restaurant today with two friends and had an extremely disappointing and shocking experience. We had to wait over an hour to get a table. After this long wait we were informed that we wouldn't get a table because we were only men. I found this statement to be deeply discriminatory and racist. The employee was also extremely rude and disrespectful. I've been to this restaurant several times and have to say that while the food was always good, the service was consistently bad. But today the service was an absolute disaster and exceeded all limits. It's clear to me: I will never visit this restaurant again. Anyone who treats their guests like this doesn't deserve customers. Racism and rudeness seem to have a system here. Absolutely not recommended!

The service was good, I really can't say anything about that, but the food really wasn't good because my chicken wasn't cooked through and the meat came back just like that after I sent the food back to have it seared even more and it still wasn't cooked through. Unfortunately the rating.

The staff are very polite and accommodating, the food and the presentation are very good.

I was very positively surprised. It was my birthday. The food was very, very tasty. At the end I wanted künefa and mocha coffee. They didn't have either but they surprised me with a rice pudding with 2 candles. That was very sweet with the happy birthday song and applause. I thank you very much.

The food was average, but the prices are unreasonably high. If the price-performance ratio is adjusted, it would be better.
