A cute little shop with a charming atmosphere. The food is delicious, the decor is a mix of botanicals and secondhand items. The staff is friendly, it's self-service, and reservations are not possible.
Absolutely brilliant food. Great range of food and wonderful flavours. 100% will be returning when we next come back to Berlin. Would strongly recommend the spring rolls!!
A charming little restaurant with delicious dishes made from locally sourced ingredients.
Excellent value for money.
The staff are very friendly and attentive.
The food is absolutely delicious.
This was my first time at Needles & Pins and I definitely wasn't disappointed. The reviews speak for themselves. The atmosphere, the service, and the food were all top-notch. Keep it up! I'll gladly come back.
I ordered a falafel wrap from Rashccok and was quite disappointed. The eggplant was undercooked and barely edible. Overall, the wrap was bland: lots of salad, hardly any hummus, and only three falafel. It was mostly filled with cabbage, and at €11.40 for such a small portion, it was outrageously expensive.
There's nothing wrong with the staff, but at such a high price, I expect much more than just three falafel.
I wouldn't recommend it; there are cheaper and tastier alternatives.
We ate at Akam's in Heidelberg.
Upon entering the restaurant, several employees were standing behind the counter, but we were neither greeted nor spoken to.
We initially found a table ourselves, as it wasn't clear that the concept involved ordering at the counter. Again, there was no reaction or even a brief explanation.
After a while, we went to the counter ourselves and asked. There, we were informed that orders could only be placed at the counter. We then did so and picked up our food ourselves at the counter, even though we were the first and only customers in the restaurant.
Unfortunately, the bread was only lukewarm, which was a shame, as there would have been plenty of time to prepare it fresh and warm. This somewhat dampened our impression.
On the positive side, the food was very tasty. With a little more attention from the service, clearer communication of the ordering process, and better temperature of the food, the visit could have been much more enjoyable overall.
