Zaitoun restaurant in Berlin

Your response shows that you didn't even read my review properly. I ordered the food through Uber Eats and didn't visit your restaurant. Instead of addressing my criticism, you copied a standard response with a fake name. The portion was tiny compared to the pictures in the app, and the price was outrageous. If you take your customers seriously, you should either adjust your portion sizes or display the pictures in the app honestly. Otherwise, I expect a refund because what I received didn't match what you promised. Outrageous rip-off! For €18.20, I received a tiny portion in a plastic box – outrageous! The picture in the app shows a large, substantial plate, but what I received was a joke of a meal. Far too little, completely overpriced, and absolutely disappointing. Stay away!

We were rather rudely informed that there was no space available and all free tables were reserved. That's perfectly normal for a Friedrichshain snack bar, right guys. Or was it more to do with how we looked?

Good food at a reasonable price! Falafel is freshly done and fried!!! Which is great!

The best food I have eaten!!! Wonderful service.

Best hommus and falafel in the city, the service was great. Super recommend!!

Great food, best shawarma we had in Berlin

Had the Tabouleh and the Fattoush. Both amazing, prepared fresh and beautifully presented.

“A great dining experience! The food at this Syrian restaurant was incredibly delicious, but the Shawarma Zaitoun was simply outstanding! Perfectly seasoned and wonderfully tender. Great service and a friendly atmosphere – highly recommended!”

Super tasty food and good service. There are also vegan options

Really nice staff and the food is great too. I'll be back!

Restaurant disguised as a snack bar. Here you get excellent falafel and very tasty main courses (:

Really delicious food (especially the falafel), fair prices, friendly staff. One of the best snacks in the neighborhood.

Brutal food 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 #1 for Syrian food

super good ♡ authentic Syrian cuisine + street food

The food was very, very good and, above all, at a fair price. If I were in Berlin more often, I would come back again and again, but since I only go to Berlin once a year, I'll say see you next year! ❤️

Came for a too good to go and it was not worth it. Not sure how what we got could be worth the 37.5€ they say. It felt like a scam.

First time trying schwarma. Very tasty food and very kind staff.

Simply awesome! It tasted perfect and especially with Fairouz in the background it was simply better!

Incredibly delicious “Mazza Mix” starter! Completely sufficient as a main course for me 🤭 Baba Ganoush, Hommus… everything perfect 👌

I just ate the best shawerma of my life! With the Arabic music everything was magical!

Delicious food and kind service :)

Outstanding service, outstanding taste, best falafel that I have ever had in my life.

Amazing food and very friendly service. Can only recommend!

Absolutely amazing delicious food - had the special mixed plate and everything was incredibly tasty and it looked fantastic too! The guys were very friendly and welcoming and it was a lovely place to have lunch, and very reasonably priced too. Will be back!

The food was very good and tasty 😋 👍👍

I ordered via the Internet and chose from the list that was given, and upon receipt, it was not the same as what I ordered, and there is no way to contact Maoun, even on two numbers that do not answer.

Classic restaurant with mix plate and shawarma. Evidently meat is stronger than vegetarian stuff.

Wow at Zaitoun it tastes brutally good no matter what you order and you'll be full. I can recommend him to all gourmets with a clear conscience. There are few that have such good food and a very good price/performance ratio. We come here regularly for food and it is always delicious.

Amazing food and also pretty cheap! I will definitely stop by again!

Zaitoun is a top spot in Berlin for authentic Middle Eastern flavors, especially their shawarma, which many say is the best in town. The meat is tender and well-seasoned, paired perfectly with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere is warm, and the staff is friendly, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. They also offer other classic dishes like falafel and hummus, all crafted with quality and care. A must-visit for shawarma lovers and anyone craving genuine Middle Eastern cuisine in Berlin!

The food tasted very traditional and the service was wonderful. I would only recommend Zaitoun.

Highly recommended, ambience beautiful, food fantastic, gladly again!!

Everything is super fresh and homemade and delicious! I often come here for lunch but also occasionally in the evening. My favorite is Makloube and the Falafel Makali plate.

Arabic jazz, good prices and Arooooma! 🌞 Cabbage with shwarm

The shawarma plate was pure crap. Although all the ingredients are there, it's just iceberg lettuce on fries

One of the best falafel in Berlin. The service is very kind and you can tell the guy preparing the dishes has passion for it, an artist.

Ate in a Syrian restaurant for the first time. It was very tasty.

Stable delicious food. Unfortunately, the "plate dishes" are only offered with fries. Unfortunately, the fries don't handle delivery very well. It would be nice if another side dish, such as rice, were possible. I have only ordered delivery so far, so no review of the service and ambience.

I like to order here via Wolt...sometimes several days in a row. The hummus is absolutely amazing, and of course the falafel too!!

We ordered food because it looked great in the pictures, with salad, herbs, pomegranate seeds, etc. What we got were soft fries without salt, dry meat, a few loveless slices of cucumber and carrot. To be honest, we feel ripped off because the reviews are so good. I really don't know what for.

The food was really tasty and the employees were very nice and polite

This is the best chicken I have ever had. Wow. I would Uber from downtown Berlin for this food.

Everything really tasted really good and the service was very nice

Great food here, the hummus is so smooth and delicious, and people that work here are so nice, always giving me a falafel if I have to wait a bit for my food

Their Baba Ganoush kicks asses! 💪

The food was not what we expected but it was tasty. The teller was also a sandwich but with a lot of fries. The mittel sandwich was quite filling and big. The vibes of the place are nice and you can sit and eat peacefully

**The service** is great and the food is delicious. I tried most of the dishes and they were all really delicious. The hummus and falafel are the best in Berlin. 😉😉 I've been there several times and everything was always nice and tasty. This place is really a great find. Come by and try it out :) Kind regards to all employees

Definitely the best Syrian food in all of Berlin. I come here regularly and you can taste that the cooking here is made with love. The portions are super generous and the price-performance ratio is unbeatable. The staff are always friendly, especially Basel. He's such a nice guy and you always feel welcome straight away. I would definitely recommend it!

Abundant plate, quite good. I got the spezial (with meet) affordable. Not a lot of places to sit

Delicious Falafel Sandwich. One of the best I had. Very nice staff.

it was amazing, I was absolutely happy! I will return 100%

Some of the best shawarma I’ve had

Great prices. very nice employees. delicious food. There’s nothing better 😋💯

Delicious Syrian Cuisine! Zaitoun offers an incredible experience The food is flavourful, from the smooth rice to the tender Schawerma. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, Portions are very generous, and prices are great for the quality. Highly recommend for anyone craving creative Syrian dishes.

Delicious syrian food: sandwiches and plates, with a special touch like verdure and pomegranate seeds, great falafel and makali. Very friendly and polite chef.

The food is amazing and taste so authentic, the staff is really friendly and is one of the recommended places for syrian food

Fantastic shawarma at a great price.

Fantastic food. We are a family of four and all we ordered was delicious. The people working at the restaurant were very friendly. The street that the restaurant is on was quiet. I'd definitely go back.

Super good shawarma. Lots of great flavors tasted harmoniously. Absolute recommendation.

Best falafel in Berlin! Possibly the best I’ve had anywhere! If you’re lucky you even get pomegranate inside and sumac sprinkled on top. Always delicious regardless!

Insanely delicious & very friendly! The veggie falafel with halloumi is 100% recommended :) thank you very much!

What a gem! Loved the mixed platter with meats.

When I worked in the neighbourhood, I would often go to enjoy a wrap at lunchtime. The food was always delicious, and made with great care. The environment is clean and calm. A great place.

This is some of the most delicious food in Berlin, we ate here every day of our trip. Highly recommend!

Best falafel in Berlin. People are nice friendly restaurant is very clean. Price was good I'm glad that there are very tasty falafel Friedrichshain

Here is the original taste The food is delicious and the treatment is friendly I will always come back

Tasty food and nice service. Fresh and well presented at good prices. Ordered one Vegetarian and one meat special dish. Recommended👍

Maklube with mint yogurt, it tastes like coming home. Sambusak with cheese. Really not your typical falafel shop. Everything here tastes a little different, a little more creative and a lot more flavor. There's love in here.

The food was super delicious! And I specifically called to see if we could watch a European Championship game there and then they organized a TV especially for us 🙏🏼 Mega service!

Delicious! We loved it. Excellent food and very good price too. Good service too

The best falafel and shawarma i ever had

Such a nice place, with amazing food and kind service. 5/5

The absolutely best food of this type I’ve had in Berlin (and as you know, the competition is huge), but this is un-fkin-real! As for the chicken shawarma and hummus, I haven’t had better anywhere, even outside of Berlin. The guys working there are super friendly, they even offered me additional lavash bread while I was eating hummus because they saw I had finished it.

Very very tasty! Very fair price! And great service. Called in the morning for vegetarian platters for an event in the evening, with delivery? No problem. The guests were thrilled, very tasty, great selection. It was really super yummy. Gladly again, definitely recommended!

Nice service and the best falafel far and wide.

„i left zaitoun and was still hungry“ -no one ever :)

Best Syrian food in Friedrichshain also a very friendly and cooperative manager. Highly recommended

The food was very tasty. The waiting time was 45 minutes. But it was very long, especially since other guests were being served in between. The ambience is very loud, but still fits the gastronomic concept

One of the best restaurants in Berlin

Best falafel in the neighborhood with so many ingredients and different tastes and NO onion :) ambient is also very cozy and authentic

As someone born and raised in the Levantine area (Amman, Jordan) and with a culinary background, I can confidently say this is one of the best Middle Eastern places in Berlin. I ordered a Shawarma sandwich, and it was HEAVENLY; the spices they’re using are as authentic as it gets. The staff is also very friendly. I’m not sure if it’s because I spoke Arabic with them, but they were exceptionally kind. The guy who prepared the sandwich even offered me a falafel piece to try. Regardless of their kindness, the falafel was also as good as the ones in Jordan. By far the best falafel I’ve tried in Berlin, by a mile!

The worst experience I’ve ever had in Berlin. So spicy and not appropriate for children.

Best shawarma I've had in Berlin. I went there this afternoon and ordered a shawarma to go. The service was good and the shawarma was perfect. Definitely coming back.

Insanely amazing and flavours-packed food ! And for that price ?! They deserve to be known worldwide.

The store doesn't need it, but here's another 5-star rating from me. I've never eaten such a delicious falafel makali plate and believe me, I've eaten many in my life :D The staff is also very sweet!

Ordered several times and ate there. Sandwiches are great, Sambusak too. Prices are really clear!

Mega delicious food. The best falafel is definitely here. Everything fresh and prepared with love. Great service, very friendly. There's nothing to complain about, we'll definitely be back👍🏽

Amazing food, beautifully presented.

I can highly recommend this restaurant

Amazing food, great service. And dolmas to die for ❤️

An amazing Syrian restaurant! The food is delicious, with generous portions at affordable prices. The service is warm and helpful, setting a great atmosphere. The owner greeted and welcomed us very in a very friendly manner. The menu offers a variety of tasty options, and each dish I tried was a delight. Will go back for more.

Just amazing food, awakens all your tastebuds!

This food was OUTSTANDING! I would have happily paid 3 times as much for what we had. Was sad eating the last bite.

Zaitoun is a spacious Syrian restaurant near Frankfurter Tor – Zaitoun 🇸🇾 They serve traditional shawarma, dipped vegetables, baba ganoush, tabbouleh salad, hummus, maklubu - inverted Arabic pilaf, various kibbeh - bulgur cutlets and other delicacies of Arabic cuisine 🧆🌯 There are not just the usual shawarmas and plates for both lovers of juicy meat and vegetarians, but also interesting appetizers and main courses. You can sit quite comfortably inside (or outside in summer)! 📩 Find out even more about the best cafes and restaurants in the city in the best telegram channel “Berlin Falafel”.

We have been here so many times now and you deserve the 5 stars. The falafel sandwich is super tasty for a great price. A real insider tip! Thank you 👌🏼

Awesome falafel and kebab! Top in Berlin

Delicious food and amazing service

The best shawarma in all of Berlin and very nice service, will 100% come back 🥰🥰

The food is super delicious. Portions are big for reasonable and affordable prices. Highly recommended!

The food is very tasty and the price is absolutely good. At least compared to Hamburg
