Smash'd in Berlin

Absolutely delicious. Terrible name for the restaurant really… doesn’t let you know how great the food is and I assumed it was a burger place. The eggplant, chicken etc all spices for the gods. Will be back here frequently.

Delicious food, great service, super central location. If you are in Mitte and craving for food that actually has taste and flavor, this is your spot.

The food is ok but somehow not fully meeting the exepectations. The waiters were sitting at one of the tables and smoking, which was not the atmosphere we were looking for. Their halwa cookie was good.

I ordered hummus with extra beef on the side. The hummus was good but unfortunately the portion was extremely small especially for an 11 Euro Hummus plate without any topping. I am really disappointed as the reviews here and on uber eats were really good and i was excited to try this place. Unfortunately I will not order from there again as this portion is just too small although the quality and flavors are good. Note for the owner: if this is supposed to be a starter and this is the price please make it clear so people don't get confused. Answer to the owner: Your comment is really offensive. I order frequently in Berlin hummus and the portions are decent but this one was just too small. In the picture it does look half full but in reality it was a quarter full. The meal was hummus without an egg so i did not remove anything.

Simply delicious. I am craving the spiced chicken ever since I tried it.

Very tasty food and nice service. Wait times can be a bit long during the lunch rush

The place was rather empty when I arrived, though admittedly this could be because it was a rainy thursday afternoon. It's self-service, but the employee was very friendly and carefully cleaned my table when I asked. I ordered the hummus with chicken as well as a rhubarb lemonade, and I have to be honest that I was rather disappointed. I do like that the hummus had some tahin sauce in it, and the food was ready really quickly (suspiciously so), but the chicken and sides were not warm enough, and they could've used more spices. The egg on top had a good texture, but likely pre-cooked and therefore wasn't as good as the typical ramen age. The pita (lebanese bread) was really good though.

Arabic spiced chicken, spicy biriyani and okra were ALL amazing

We were just a bit hungry but what we ate was a big great surprise, it was delicious beyond belief and just finished EVERYTHING!

I had the Bademjan on Hummus for take away. Soooo good! Thank you!

I can't recommend this place enough! I reached out to inquire about gluten-free options and ended up having one of the best meals in the city. The owner, who is also the chef, came in on his day off to personally ensure there was no risk of cross-contamination. The hummus, as many have said, is probably the best you'll find. We shared a Biryani that could easily feed five people—delicious and perfectly spiced. Their spiced chicken is just amazing. Highly recommended, especially for celiacs or anyone seeking a savory meal.

Great food and great service. Super friendly. Recommended :)

Great food and service - probably one of the best Lebanese restaurants in Berlin! Highly recommended - also for vegetarian meals and cardamom coffee.

The food is absolutely delicious, generous portions. We ordered some dishes and shared - Great spices. They even fed our dog 🐶 so everyone is super happy ..hard to find great food and great service in Berlin! We love this place

One of the best sandwich les I’ve ever eaten, and exceptional service.

This was New York level delicious. Thanks for the chat!

The pastrami Sandwich was the best Sandwich i've had in my life and the owner was also very nice, had a great time would come again 10/10

Lovely location on a cute street opposite beautiful old church. We had the Arabic spiced chicken and the Bademjam on hummus. Out of this world taste. And then the cookies ! Lightning fast service. Reasonably priced. Plus the owner is so warm, friendly and shares openly about his experiences. Loved chatting with him. Too bad it is our last night in Berlin, otherwise we would come back. Thank you for treating us so well !

Amazing middle eastern fusion cuisine! The proprietor is very friendly and really walked us through their unique menu. I loved the hummus and ajitama (ramen egg)! Can't recommend enough!

I thought it will be much better waiting time was too long and highly priced

Very good food and superb service but limited seating.

Came for a quick lunch with my teenage daughters. One daughter has celiac disease and can eat only gluten-free food. As soon as I mentioned it, the chef / owner said "I get it completely; my ex-girlfried has celiac and I know all about it." He quickly went through each menu item, telling us which were gluten-free, which could be made gluten-free, and which she should avoid. We all agreed the food was excellent, and my daughter appreciated very much having a lot of choices. What a delight.

Great Food! Very tasty chicken!

Food is delicious and Emad is the best host. Especially liked the labneh dish

Had dinner there with a friend and we chose the spiced chicken and we weren't disappointed. It was to the point and in combination with the spices, a dream. We were also very impressed with the sauces, a perfect combination We'll definitely be back.

My favorite dish is the Arabic Spiced Chicken.. can never go wrong with that and now just recently tried the extra spicy version of the Biryani chicken with rice and it was the REAL DEAL!! So many places in Berlin that claim to have a spicy dish but it’s just mid..but here you will see that they aren’t messing around!!

I just ordered and was extremely pleasantly surprised. It tastes great, but it would be cool if salads were offered. Without salad it is a bit dry

Stopped in for a snack and ended up trying much more great food. The man working was really friendly, he made us fresh orange juice and showed us pictures of his adorable dog, Moose. Would highly recommend stopping in!

Super friendly and courteous service (we got a free starter because the owner of the restaurant wanted to try a new dish). The food was also very tasty. We liked it, we'd love to come back!

the arabic spiced chicken and hummus is the best. i went there for lunch today, the owner was very nice and was playing great music <3

Price performance ratio very bad for warmed up, cheap food. Unfortunately the ambience is not that good

Simple and bad food. Definitely not anymore!

I found something completely different than what was presented to me via Neo Taste and the appearance in Google. Chaotic, uncomfortable, dingy atmosphere. Complete silence with no music. Service is offered virtually without words. The taste of the food was ok. Small portions, not fresh. Completely exaggerated prices for what you get.

Best chicken Biryani in town. I also love their humus, the Arabic spice chicken and not to forget the cookies ♥️ It's my local cantine. Thanks for the good food and vibes

They have a chicken biryani on the menu now, which was absolutely fantastic. Rich, earthy, bright, and flavourful, it has everything you want from a biryani that you don't find at most restaurants in Berlin!

Love their Arabic spiced chicken! Hits all the sweet spots!

My cash is worthless in this store? Yes, it is. They won't take your cash, only cards. And now they are also hiring shady companies to remove bad reviews. Sorry but criticism shouldn't be fought with censorship. You don't take cash cause it's more work for you. Lazy. Btw, my comment is here because I had to answer a formal letter of removal, requested by you. So you are fighting criticism with censorship, it just didn't work this time. And please, don't lie to people saying you do this for transparency. Every purchase can be accounted for in cash as well, you don't need a digital signature and personal data of all your customers. You just don't want to deal with having change every day or maybe you don't trust your employees. How come every single spot in Berlin takes cash but you won't? Get real

Arabic chicken at The Eatery used to be my absolute favorite lunch, but over the years my experience has severely deteriorated. Apart from getting more expensive (just like any restaurant really), the portion is now heavily reduced. I remember having this 3 years ago and being almost too full to finish my plate, and now the single portion is simply not enough. I don’t understand, the meal has nothing fancy, it’s rice, hummus, labne and spiced chicken. Such a shame, it’s difficult to find a simple yet tasty dish in Berlin. I still give everything else 5* just because I love the place, but I think management should be aware that old customers will probably not stick around anymore. The key of a good restaurant is knowing how to consistently deliver an amazing experience.

Very very very tasty food, especially the chicken. Perfect for lunch but also in the evening. The service is also great and super nice! Will definitely come back :))

The most authentic tasting biryani I have had in Berlin. Made me homesick ❤️. Thank you for keeping it authentic, its absolutely delicious!

The food may be good but "No service, no cash and no German" is a little too much Prenzl Berg at once. The furnishings are also quite spartan. Well, whoever likes it! :-)

The chicken is literally one of the most delicious morsels of food that you can find in Berlin (a city that is normally barren of spice). The person running the place is so passionate about the food and it really shows. You have to try this place! My only suggestion would be to add a tiny bit of veg or salad or something to complete the dish. Otherwise total perfection and cannot recommend this place enough.

It was just perfect, and I got 2 free cookies

Passion for cooking and an appreciation of great flavour combinations is clear to see at this unassuming eatery. We stumbled upon this restaurant at lunch time by chance. Upon entering we were greated with a very pleasant aroma and a very friendly memeber of staff. The decor was quite bland industrial and boring however the food and service was anything but. We ordered the Bedjamen on Hummus with Arabic chicken which was served with a warm loaf of bread. Every element on the dish was excellent. We left the place raving about what we had just ate and remembered it for the remainder of our holiday.

I haven’t had hummus this good for quite a while🤤 the spiced chicken and rice are also very tasty👍👍👍

Delicious lemongrass chicken and cookies, will try again

:) nette Kerl als Eigentümer :( Restaurantpreisen im Imbiss-Atmosphäre (z.B. wackelige, nicht abgewischt Tische) :( bekommt dass Gefühl dass Geschäft statt Essen im Vordergrund steht (z.B. Sambal-Olek aus der Dose statt echte Nahost-Scharfsoße)

Exceptional middle eastern food. Perfect for lunch in the area. Highly recommended

The food tastes good, but it’s too expensive for that portion size!

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was super friendly and warm, definitely one of my favorite lunch places in Berlin, 10/10 🫶

Loved the food! I had the spiced chicken and my partner the wild mushroom, asparagus truffel risotto. Chicken was soo tender and delicious! I found this reasonable priced for the high quality and specialty offered.

Ich habe hier bestellt. 8€ für eine Süsskartoffel und ein bisschen Soße finde ich sehr krass. Das Essen war ok-lecker, aber leider wirklich eine kleine portion.

Food was okay, but comparing it with the pictures you can see here the portion of rice versus the protein you order is different. I ordered the aubergine and it was tasty but it wasn't that big and came with way to much rice. The price is too expensive for what you get and there isn't a real service as it is more self service style.

Food was okaish but very overpriced. The place is small and the seats are not so comfy. I wouldn’t repeat but I also don’t hate having eaten there.

It's really nice place as well as the food is delicious 😋

Went there the first time because of the good ratings. But over all it’s not as good as expected. I ordered spiced chicken and spiced veggies, taste is good but I am not sure about the price value, I think it’s over priced for the food and service quality.

Ordered with foodpanda, Just one word AMAZING. Excellent flavours and seasoning, the chicken was cooked to perfection. Could only recommend and will be ordering again!

Awesome food. Authentic food with a genuine taste. 10 out of 10. I will definitely go back!

I don’t usually write reviews but the food here is awesome. I had the Arabic spiced chicken, it was succulent and tender and perfectly spiced! The majority of restaurants in Berlin are mediocre, but this is one for foodies. It’s on par with Khwan for me ❤️

Great hummus, very friendly and easy going owner. Must go for hummus lovers

Hands down the best Hummus in town, and yes I tried many others. But not only the bamya (okra) and the chicken are amazing go grab a plate and enjoy

Just ordered in and their Arabic spiced chicken is mind blowing. I absolutely loved the flavors, the presentation and the spice levels

Lovely little place! Go for any dish with their awesome hummus is undecided! And love the service too, the people are super nice!

1. The food: I just love it. It's so rich in flavor... You can taste the love the guys are putting to the food. They are just obsessed with it, and I am a big fan of the concept + hard work. 2. The experience: I walked in for the first time today, I feel I've known them for years. So nice, smart, driven and really passionate about food. Overall, just easy and great place to eat and try a mixture of mouthwatering flavors. Musts: Hummus with ramen egg, Lemongrass and arabic spiced chicken, and also their egg bun on the weekends! Don't forget to get a cookie for dessert

A great spot for lunch. The spiced arabic chicken bowl was so satisfying and really flavorful!

Try the chicken, it's delicious

Amazing humus and super friendly service

Very tasty food made by super friendly people. Delicious mix of tastes that is made with love and soul. Try the hummus (and everything else)!!!

Coffee on point, food pretty good and the hummus, yeah the hummus, they should have a shop just for it

The chicken plus hummus was delicious.

Sehr originelle Mischung unterschiedlicher Küchen. Sehr sehr lecker.

Amazing food, fair prices and great service - you won't find many places like this in Berlin!

Amazing little gem, friendly owners. I'll be back for sure.

Amazing food, the best hummus I've had in Berlin. Also, very friendly staff!
