The crazy little Greek in Berlin

We tried the seven dip platter and they were all great! The service was fantastic and the owner is extremely kind, welcoming, & generous. Great spot if you’re looking for vegan Greek

Our last evening meal after a few days in Berlin failed to disappoint. Not a complaint in sight.

A great experience when, theoretically, you can eat anything on the menu without restrictions, and Greek too. It tasted great. We had the feeling of sitting in a small bistro in Greece for an evening. A successful evening for us.

We were there for the first time yesterday and I have to say — we'll be back & recommend it! The choice fell on the mezze platter for 2 people. Super tasty and more than enough for two people (we even took some with us because we couldn't make it), and second helpings of the buckwheat bread were available upon request. The dips were all very different in taste, from mild and creamy to very spicy, so they definitely lived up to the motto “something for everyone”. Spanakoriso and Gigantes were both excellent. There was also Aperol Spritz (large and well-filled glasses = good Aperol price-performance ratio) and then an ouzo. Everything was very successful from a culinary point of view :) The ambience is very cozy (even if some of the stools don't have backrests, but that's manageable for a dinner time here) — small, spread over two floors and relatively narrow, which gives the whole thing a very personal charm ("Sorry, “If I could reach over her table, my jacket is hanging over it” moments included). Yes, there are crates of drinks lying around, but who cares? The only shame is the lack of accessibility, but this is due to the rooms. There are two/three tables outside and blankets for the colder season, and food can also be taken away. The prices are completely okay (middle of the road, and you know in advance), but you can be sure that it tastes great and you leave feeling full. We paid €25 per person for food and drinks. In general, a reservation is recommended (especially for groups), but I guess that you can get a spot spontaneously with little waiting time, like we did. The staff is also very friendly. German and English are spoken mixed (Berlin). We also had a good chat with the owner and will also test his pizzeria (Simela) :) Thanks and see you next time! ♥️

We came to the restaurant moderately hungry and got three starters for the two of us, along with a house wine. For us that was the perfect amount, the food was VERY tasty. The service is extremely friendly and accommodating. Small, friendly shop. We would come again :)

Crazy little lovely awesome and super tasting, amazing service 🫶

I don’t get the raving reviews, the food here was so…mediocre. Nothing was outright bad, but everything tasted bland and uninspired. We had the mezzedes plate, with 7 different spreads and gigantes. The spreads tasted like nothing, and most Greeks would be highly offended that it was served with crunchy dark bread, almost Knäckebrot. The gigantes were obviously not baked in the sauce in the oven, they tasted like pot cooked and then thrown in a tomato sauce. One of the spreads was obviously made with Violife feta, which also came with the tiny Greek salad. If you have a vegan Greek restaurant, wouldn’t you want to serve actually good tasting feta, instead of this coconut oil abomination? Then the moussaka: the béchamel was runny, there were only some vegetables, I couldn’t make out the aubergine (most important component), and again, it tasted so, so bland. First rule of good vegan food is spices and intense flavors. This was such a disappointment. Especially in Berlin, where the bar for good vegan food is just that high. Big skip in my opinion.

I was surprised at how delicious Greek can also taste vegan!! Very tasty, especially the various starters. Highly recommended: the beetroot dip

Food was delicious and the staff are incredibly friendly! Absolutely recommend for anyone, especially those with dietary restrictions!

Wonderful food. Six of us had the appetizer platter and were always given fresh bread when we asked, so that each of us could try everything thoroughly. For the main course we ate moussaka (divine) and lachanodolmades (very tasty). And all in all, as a gluten-intolerant vegan, it was a nice experience to sit in a restaurant and not have to worry about the ingredients. I recommend it to everyone, regardless of their diet.

We visited the restaurant for the first time last week and felt very well looked after. The seat by the window offered a wonderful view of the busy hustle and bustle in the small, rustic restaurant. The landlord was very welcoming, explained and recommended the dishes, which we all enjoyed very well, even though we are vegan. Please keep it up.

Small, cozy restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. Warm welcome and great food. I came in with an empty stomach and came out with a full one. Successful dinner

Vegan, gluten free, greek food which is delicious. The staff was very kind, too. No more words needed!

Incredibly warm owners, you feel right at home. The food is fantastic - never had it before. A little insider tip in Mitte.

Fantastic vegan restaurant with authentic Greek flair! I loved my visit to “The Crazy Little Greek”! The selection of vegan dishes is not only creative, but also incredibly delicious. Every dish was freshly prepared and perfectly seasoned. The staff was super friendly, attentive and made a lot of effort to make us feel completely comfortable. The ambience is cozy and authentic, giving the restaurant a welcoming atmosphere. Absolutely recommended for vegans and anyone who wants to try something new! I'll definitely be back! 🌱✨

We were there for the first time today. Our daughter was able to eat everything without restrictions (great experience). We can only recommend this small, cozy restaurant. Great atmosphere. Everything was explained to us very nicely. The food was delicious, great service. We left full and satisfied and will definitely be back.

The food was extremely tasty and the owner was very accommodating and friendly! We felt very comfortable :) If you want to enjoy authentic Greek cuisine, away from the well-known mountains of meat, you should definitely come here!

Super welcoming Greek restaurant, perfect for anyone who wants to eat Greek without eating a lot of meat. Very nice owner, you feel completely respected and comfortable as a guest. 10/10 gladly again

Absolute recommendation 🤌 best vegan Greek food in Berlin!

Good for vegan and gluten free, but far from comparable to other Greek places. Overall just an average experience. The food was okay, tasty, but quite expensive for the small portions. The service was good at first, but after the main and the first drink, we weren't served anymore really. The seating was very uncomfortable, atmosphere was okayish. During our 2hrs there, there was half of the time background music and the other half none, which made the atmosphere really weird.

It's been a while now (August), but I haven't forgotten that evening! Thank you for good food, good conversations and most of all for so much love. Keep going :) you bring a lot of good into our world!!!

Sadly almost everything lacked flavor, although I have to say that tzatziki wasn’t all that bad for being vegan. The fact that there’s no proper pita bread but just some “burnt” chips, was also not great. 4 stars only because I am happy to see all-vegan places

Bit of a hard review for us to give here as the waiter was quite friendly and warm but the system at this restaurant is highly disorganised so we probably wouldn't go again. Let's start with positives: - All vegan menu, so vegans get the rarity of experiencing choice - Especially hard to find vegan Greek food in Berlin, so that's a bonus - As mentioned, the waiter was always smiling and friendly despite being overworked which wasn't his fault The more critical things to state: - We had no reservation and were explicitly told we'd only need to wait a few minutes. A table became free in not too long but it was perhaps 30 minutes before we were guided to it and given the greenlight to be seated. Even longer till we got menus and the table was cleaned. These long waits were a trait of the night as every interaction and encounter took a significant wait time and even while we were being served, the waiter would get very easily pulled away or distracted, often for things which could have waited (eg a phone call). - The whole system needs attention, it's very disorganised in terms of how things operate here, and mistakes could have been easily avoided if refined. The whole experience was pretty uncomfortable because we felt ignored and relegated in terms of our priority in the restaurant - The food - this is varied in terms of how good it is. A lot on the menu isn't that great in all honesty, and to be very frank, it's very very overpriced for what you get. I've seen the restaurant saying it's a high-priced place to eat and unashamedly so, which is totally fine if the food is worth the high prices, which we can't say it is. - Heavily understaffed - this is probably the main culprit for a lot of issues and for this we blame management not really the waiters. There seemed to only be 2 waiters for the entire restaurant which is a ridiculous business decision, especially with the premium price tag which should come with a high bar for service. I would strongly encourage management to hire more staff and also to prepare food better in advance as this led to even more wait times for everything. The place has potential to be a lot better and the highlight was the positivity of our waiter despite the pressure he was under. The real issues here are poor organisation and lack of correct priorities when it comes to things that will always come up in the hectic environment of a restaurant. If the restaurant wants to charge 50-75% more for it's offerings in the competitive market of Berlin, it needs to brush up a lot. A friendly shout-out to our waiter in any case!

Top vegan food with a great team.. would love to come back…

Great small restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and very good service :) Everything gluten-free and vegan! Good food, great service and a very nice host...

Unfortunately, very poorly prepared food for too much money. Either it wasn't seasoned or a whole jar of spices fell into it. The casserole and pakrika were overcooked. For the cola there was a half-filled 0.2 glass. Had expected more from 4.5 stars.

Worth a visit for the moussaka alone. Delicious food, very nice presentation, interesting art on the walls.

Small and expensive! You can sit close to the open door and the loud kitchen or downstairs close to the toilet. 3 tables in each place. Food tasted good but it was very expensive for the quantity you get (7 small dips for 35 euros)

Nikos, thank you for this great evening with you, we were warmly welcomed and it continued like that the whole evening. The food is a dream, everything is tasteful, the preparation is delicious... we love that Greek music is playing too, it fits perfectly. We were there for the first time, but not for the last time. I can only recommend it. We are happy to have found this great vegan and gluten-free Greek. Keep it up Nikos

Unfortunately not recommended. The store seems to be too small and there are crates and cartons of drinks everywhere. Even in the toilet. The food is only small portions and absolutely overpriced. 15€ for 2 thin slices of peppers with rice, although the rice was more of a porridge. Even more than a rice pudding. The taste was somehow ok but nothing special. The drinks are also very expensive at €6.50 for a 0.5 beer. The service doesn't speak German but makes an effort. Seems like the store has new owners. But if you don't go, you won't miss anything.

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right at all. A selection of dips for two people costs €35, one of which was already slightly tilted. The moussaka as a main course for €18 was unfortunately disappointing. Unfortunately, the atmosphere inside was not comfortable. Unfortunately no recommendation.

The food was great, highly recommend!☺️

We made a reservation for 10 people and got 8 seats, which is fine because we all got a seat. After ordering we had to wait for over an hour for our food. We all ordered different dishes and all of them were flavourless (I did not lose taste due to COVID). Overall, especially for the price, it's bad value for money. Independent from how fresh your ingredients are.

We waited 1.5 hours for our food and it was totally tasteless. It’s literally just hyped from Instagram but not good. The waiter was friendly but overworked. I do not recommend :(

The owner is a super friendly person who runs from top to bottom like a madman to ensure his customers are satisfied. The food was super tasty and I like the manageable menu, everything was vegan and gluten-free :) we were given a very warm welcome, it was our first time there and will definitely eat there again. With the really small kitchen, the cooking is still great :) thank you for the lovely evening and the friendly hospitality! 💃

Had a good time and really nice tasty food. It's tiny, so be prepared for a cosy setting. It is also warm inside in summer, but the food makes up for everything.

Price-performance is not right for me. The main course in the picture costs €18. The casserole appeared to have been warmed up and tasted strongly of coconut. I wasn't full. The side dishes were nice but tiny portions. Since it wasn't particularly prepared or had any unusual ingredients, cooking it yourself is simply more worthwhile. The service staff spoke no German and only a little English.

The BEST vegan moussaka in the WORLD!!!

Really healthy and also tasty Greek food! Well balanced and you’re not bloated or filled with sugar, gluten, oil afterwards 🙏

Cozy, small restaurant with excellent Greek food - all vegan and gluten-free 💚

Delicious food, fantastic location and very kind staff! Beautiful, you have an all-vegetable Greek. Highly recommended!

Very tasty food with really nice staff!

Quality. Authenticity. What more can one ask for vre?

Thanks all for a wonderful meal , the staff and owner were very helpful and attentive. We had the moussaka and pastazio and both dishes were very tasty (yum Yum ) it’s a great vegan and and entirely gluten free Greek restaurant that also serves Greek tapas . Many thanks again ❤️

Very tasty food and good portions. Nikos and his team welcomed and served us very nicely. :) Clear recommendation!

Fantastic! Finally gluten-free pastitio! 😌

Must try vegan Greek food! Super satisfying and fulfilling, but refreshing at the same time. Make sure to try their moussaka. It definitely hits the spot, especially since it was my favorite childhood dish.

Amazing vegan food, very fulfilling and great hosts! A must-visit for vegans in Berlin!

Came late on a friday without a reservation, we asked for a table for three and got menus with the request to wait a few minutes until a table outside (our wish) would be available. After a little wait we asked if it would be possible to sit inside at the bar and have a drink while we waited. It was super busy and we ended up waiting for quite a while, but we didn't mind, since we were taken care of, with the best hospitality. In the end after switching tables twice (on our behalf) without asking which, led to slight confusion but was accepted with a smile (since we were carrying our starters and a bottle of wine through the restaurant), we had a table outside. The main dishes were delicious, yes not cheap but it's handmade with passion and that hard to come by and priceless. Over all we had a blast and can highly recommend the restaurant and if you have to wait a bit, have a chat with the owner, or order another glass of wine "something with M".

I came on Thursday and the waiter gave me a table despite having more people to attend too, the service is top notch including the food(Moussaka is absolutely delicious)and the atmosphere as well, definitely recommend.

There were four of us and we wanted a “journey through Greek/vegan cuisine” and that’s what we got. The taste was something completely different. We are not vegans and are therefore used to Greek cuisine that is heavy on meat, fish and dairy products. If you set yourself free to get what you're used to in terms of taste, you won't be disappointed. The “imitation” things (if you can put it like that) taste significantly different than the “original”. But still very tasty. The owner was very welcoming from the first minute. I have to say: We were there for the first time and felt more like we had been regular guests for many years. Two little things that perhaps displeased us a little: 1. Starters and main courses all came to the table together, which is why a we hardly had any space to eat and b we hardly had a chance to eat the warm things (which aren't really that good in the first place). were warm) should also be eaten warm. A little break between courses is somehow a little more comfortable and nice. 2. As the store filled up, the service became a bit slow, forgetful and inattentive. However, the outspoken friendliness remained throughout, despite the increasing stress level. So it's not a drama, but at least worth mentioning in my opinion. Overall we liked it and we will definitely come back again. :-)

All I tried from here was just perfect; especially they managed to give the cream “cheese“ a taste as if it were real feta!

I have eaten here on thursday(15-aug-2024) i liked the food it taste my buds and service was also good. I would recommend it to others to try too.

Small, nicely designed shop with great food, cheerful staff and an even better-humoured boss. It was fun to eat there. They make the most of the little space they have and for the rather small kitchen/bar, the food is really well served and super tasty.

Amazing food! Our server was so attentive, really helped us find the right dishes and checked in to ensure we were happy with our choices. The food was delicious!!! Will definitely return and I highly recommend the crazy little greek.

We were seated, given the menu, but only when we accepted the order did we find out that two of the three main courses were not available. Gritting my teeth, I chose the only thing left, then waited for half an hour without drinks or service, only to find out that this dish could no longer be served either. If there are such significant restrictions, this must be announced directly at the entrance or at the latest when the card is handed out, or the restaurant must even be closed for that day. Don't just leave the guests sitting if they can't be looked after. That was really a waste of time. I understand a lack of staff, bad days and so on, but I don't understand leaving the guest in the dark.

We’ve spent our small wedding party at Nikos’ place and I cannot use enough words to describe how awesome it was! The food is so delicious and the portions are pretty big. The staff is very friendly and always with a smile on their faces. Nikos is such a great host, he’s very open, friendly and he was taking great care of all guests and made sure that everyone was having a great time! Nikos thank you one more time and we’ll see each other soon for sure!

A total disappointment... I love Greek gastronomy and I love the Greeks and their hospitality, but here it was a disappointment... We are placed in the basement and the cards are given to us. Then follow 20 minutes without seeing the server again. No orders taken for dishes, not even for drinks. After these 20 minutes, the waiter is called, he asks to wait again...simply to take an order! It's too much, we left without eating...

Food was okay but not super tasty.

The employees were super welcoming and our afternoon was extremely pleasant. The starters were very tasty and so was the dessert, but the taste of the casseroles was lost in comparison. Definitely worth a visit!

Small, cozy restaurant with really good service and probably one of the few opportunities to eat vegan Greek.

Super delicious food and nice hospitality. We'd love to come back!

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Music: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Price: 5/5 We sat at the bar overlooking the kitchen and enjoyed the entire evening - thank you very much!

Very cute shop! I have celiac disease and live vegan, I can finally enjoy Greek food again! Nice staff, nice atmosphere and very tasty food! You can sit outside or inside on two floors. It's best to make a reservation, we also got a reservation at short notice on Friday. The prices are completely reasonable for a small, independent business in Berlin. I'll definitely be back! Berlin was still missing this shop!

Great vegan food, delicious, interesting riff on Greek cuisine. The moussaka is to die for!

Lovely restaurant, lovely host and service and very authentic! The food is amazing! Will come back again definitely. Recommending to order the Mega Spileo Cuvée.

Great host, great food and a great greek wine! Lekker man

Happy to have found this allergy friendly restaurant during our stop in Berlin. It is always quite difficult to have a menu be able to accommodate for all my allergies but lo and behold, we found this gem. We have the Jemista, Pasta Elias (olive spread/dip) and Spanakoriso. All three dishes had so much flavour that you’ll forget everything your eating is vegan and gluten free. The owner is very friendly and takes the time to chat with you too which gives the experience a nice personal touch.

Good vegan greek food and service

Lovely Ambiente, very nice service and good food. The only criticism would be the bread ;)

Vegan, gluten-free, lactose free and so super delicious! I was there with friends and we had such a great dish. I’m in love with this high quality food and nice drinks we had especially with the moussaka. The service was amazing. Thank you so much for the lovely evening. We will come back soon

We waited over 2 hours for the food because we were forgotten. Although I mentioned before that we have a long journey and that I have no alternative options due to my celiac disease, I am fully aware that this can happen. In the end, everything we had ordered was already gone and the owner said he would invite us to eat what was left. As we all know, taste is relative, but apart from the olive paste, everything tasted catastrophic to us. It's all pretty bland and unfortunately there are only buckwheat crackers with the dips. It was probably completely understaffed, which makes me wonder why they wouldn't just leave the shop closed instead? In any case, I was annoyed that at the end he wanted us to pay for part of the food that we didn't choose ourselves and didn't like. Besides, we weren't even full and frustrated. I also have the strong impression that the concept of “gluten-free and vegan” is important at all costs. Taste and quality seem to be secondary. Very disappointing. Although I have to say that I tolerated everything well. At least thank you for that! :)

Great service! We arrived before opening and were still given a table and drinks.

Awesome food and great service!! The moussaka and Thanatos bowl were amazing 😍

The service is not good. The portions are small and very expensive. At 7:00 p.m. in the evening, many dishes from the menu were already sold out. After ordering you had to wait an hour for the food. Not recommendable. The restaurant is small but very nice.

I was really excited about a gluten-free and vegan restaurant! I made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance. When I arrived at the restaurant, no table was prepared. After some misunderstandings we got a nice table outside. We ordered a bottle of wine and water. It took the waiter around 10 minutes to bring the bottle and then another 10 minutes to bring the glasses. The communication with the waiter was a little difficult, I had several times the impression that he did not really understand what we were asking for. We wanted to order a second bottle of wine and the told us, they were out of white wine and he could do only single glasses. It was a Saturday night and had no white oder rose wine in stock. The bottle of wine we got was a common brand you can by at a regular super market for 5€ (we paid 20€ for the bottle at the restaurant). When we wanted to order main courses, the waiter told us they don’t have one of the four dishes. When one of us said, he wouldn’t order a main course, the waiter said he would ask the kitchen. He confirmed that they would prepare the dish and obviously one of the staff members went away to buy peppers. Apparently, they did not consider to buy a bottle of wine. We even asked the waiter if we could organize some wine from the restaurant next door which belongs to the same owner. The food was okay, the starters were nice, but not extraordinary. Especially the main courses have some potential for improvements. All in all, it was really disappointing and I felt embarrassed that I had invited people to this desorganized place.

We had a great time at The Crazy Little Greek and the short wait we had before getting our table, was absolutely worth it! I think the day was quite stressful and packed with technical issues on their end, but nevertheless we were welcomed so warmly and the whole atmosphere was just amazing! As they are preparing everything fresh for the day, they ran out of certain and ingredients dishes but the main courses and dips we got eventually were so SO good. We will definitely come back!!

Very special Greek restaurant. Hospitality is lived here. Highly recommended 👍

We came here for dinner, and were really excited about trying Vegan Greek food. The atmosphere is really nice and the waiters were mostly friendly. We ordered a dip and some drinks, the taste was good but a bit small. For the main dishes we were disappointed. I ordered the moussaka, the taste was there but 18€ for such a small portion is really sad. My friend ordered the rice and spinach for 14€, but it was disappointing, it was not tasty at all. Poor value for money.

We decided to order few different tapas. Unfortunately not all of them met our expectations. Baked beans and grape leaves were really tasty and I highly recommend them. But charging 5€ for Skordalia which was half of mashed potato and nothing else is a bit disappointing, even for Berlin. Tzatziki didn’t remind those from Greece. I think there’s still much to be improved. Extra star for a very friendly and smiling staff working there. Nevertheless, I wish them good luck, cause it’s a place with a big potential.

At last Greek vegan food. Those traditional dishes are very tasty.

Super delicious food. Great service and best of all, the whole menu is gluten free. We will be back!

We felt really comfortable with good food and, above all, super friendly people. Definitely coming back.

The place is quite small and at the first sight does not seem to offer high quality dinning but don’t be prejudiced as their starters and food is absolutely delicious. On top of that the service is excellent as well. Strongly recommended.

The food and service is excellent! All completely vegan and full of traditional greek flavors. We will definitely be coming back!

Great and delicious! We went here spontaneously and were warmly welcomed and looked after. The food is super delicious! We'd love to come back

Great little restaurant with a warm welcome and great service. Nikos and Johanna take a lot of time for their guests and explain each dish as needed. I love Greek cuisine and was excited about the vegan implementation. My expectations were exceeded. Mega tasty with authentic taste. Clear recommendation! We will be back definitely!

The food was amazing, everything is vegan and 100% gluten-free! My favorite was the moussaka! Really nice staff too, you really feel welcomed! I’m very happy this place opened!

I went to this place for dinner and loved everything about it! Both vegans and omnis loved the cuisine, the place had a nice feeling and above all, the host stroke the perfect balance of being hospitable and kind without being intrusive. This has potential to become my new favorite place!

Simply great! If there were more stars I would give them to The crazy little Greek! The food was authentic and tasted so delicious. The service was totally friendly and warm. It had a bit of a vacation feeling. Gluten-free wasn't a problem anyway. We'll definitely be back.

great food. Super Service. super friendly 💛

We had a good evening at this little Greek place. Well cooked dishes, a little lacking in seasoning, but just ask the boss, he is super helpful and cares about the happiness of his customers.

Absolutely deluxe food & service. Dessert was the cherry on top. We will be back! 🥰

This is one of the most interesting vegan restaurants in Berlin. The food is very tasty and creative, the service is friendly. It is truly something very special that everyone should get to know.

Would have given 6 stars if i could. Didn’t miss the meat at all. The moussaka is recommended.

A small, cozy restaurant where the guest comes first. The boss is very nice and talks to his customers to get improvements and have some small talk. I can only recommend it, even if you are not vegan.

Best vegan food and lovely service

We were there quite late on Saturday evening but were still warmly welcomed at 10 p.m. There was personal advice and time was taken for you. Food was delicious. A really successful evening and we'll be back when we're back in Berlin =)

Nice little Greek with a lot of heart and passion. I haven't felt so welcome in a restaurant for a long time and I was very happy to eat Greek again as a vegan!

Very friendly and warm owner. You feel like a regular customer from the first visit. The food is also very tasty. If there are minor problems, the owner will quickly find a suitable solution. We will definitely come back next time we visit Berlin.
