"Wow" in every positive sense. There are actually two Turkish ladies behind the gozleme machine, making authentic, delicious gozleme just in time. Not only do they taste amazing, but they also offer a price-performance ratio that others can only dream of. The manti, "quasi-Turkish Bolognese" (sorry about that), are also amazing. This unassuming shop really packs a punch...great, keep it up.
Chez Emil is such a hidden gem. From the service to the outstanding food everything was really excellent. Emil was incredibly kind and took the time to chat with our table. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and great for a date night.
The service is friendly and the ambiance is average Italian. Unfortunately, the pizzas were so bad that I really wonder how this restaurant gets such high ratings. The dry, thin crust, with equally thin and carelessly topped pizzas, was a disgrace—a frozen pizza is three times better (and doesn't cost €16).
Maybe it's the pasta that's good here? It must be. I won't know because I'm simply too disappointed to come back.
Once a chimichurri, always a chimichurri: This was our first dish at Mantanga, and we were completely won over. My wife and I visited today for the first time. We are very discerning restaurant-goers, and the tapas were very impressive – compared to other Spanish tapas restaurants: We had croquettes with Serrano ham, beef with chimichurri, empanadas (pulled pork and mushrooms), prawns, cheesecake – muy bien – muy delicacado – muy rico. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Another highlight is the restroom – not really worth mentioning in Berlin – but this restroom deserves a description: a pure rainforest feeling. Plants climb from the ceiling, accompanied by the sounds of thunderstorms and rain. The restroom becomes an oasis here.
We look forward to the next time.
The falafel balls were dry and coarse, and the vegetables weren't tasty. Given the current competition, I'd only come back because the falafel man was friendly. The prices were good.
