I came to Zweistrom's for a much needed late-night snack. It was a Saturday night and the…read moreneighborhood was vibing! I ordered the falafel wrap. The falafels were fried to order, which I appreciate. After the falafels were ready, the gentleman working put them in a wrap and then went to the bar of vegetables and toppings in front of me. He added hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and I think a spicy mustard. After he finished stuffing the wrap, he rolled it up and placed it on a grill press for a few minutes. My falafel wrap was delicious and full of flavors and textures! Starting with crunchy! It had a big crunch from the grilled wrap. Then I got the added crunch from the falafel. It was then followed by the smooth and savory hummus. The vegetables were a perfect addition. Extra: Vegan options Open late - 3 am! A few seats inside Outdoor seating available It was authentic, inexpensive, fresh, fast, and they were open late! My falafel wrap was the best late night snack that didn't make me feel guilty or bloated the next day. Also, the service was good too! The gentleman working was kind and had great energy. We chatted for a little, it was really nice. I wish him the best of luck. If you're in the area, I highly suggest stopping by.

If you didn't eat a kebab in Berlin, did you even go? its the most iconic food in Berlin. And i was…read moreon the hunt to find the best. I tried 6+ different spots and ruyam was by far the best. Came here on a Thursday at ~11am (to avoid the lunch rush) and it was jam packed with students and working professionals. Luckily the staff here are super efficient yet patient with customers. It's self-service. You order at the counter and they'll call out your number. Many claimed their seats before ordering, which id recommend as there are only ~15 tables inside. Once I ordered, food was ready in ~5min. And it was huge! A fresh flatbread slathered with a delicious garlic sauce and stuffed with warm juicy chicken kebab sliced fresh off the spit and fresh salad mix. The thought of this kebab sandwhich is making me drool. The toppings were almost falling out because of how much they stuffed in. Probably one of the best bites I had in Berlin! And for €8, it was a steal! When I went it was not crowded and typical. The staff mentioned it's usually a 40-60 min wait with lines out the door.

I just ate at Night Kitchen yesterday for dinner with a colleague and it was so phenomenal! We went…read morearound 6pm without a reservation and I didn't think we'd be able to get in given it was a Friday night and the place is usually quite busy, but I think we were early enough to manage to get it. We opted for the Dinner w Friends and drinks menu where the chef decides which meals will come out and unlimited beer/wine are included (for 75€ which is a great deal!). You have a 2 courses where multiple dishes will come out at once - a nice balance of appetizer and fish, meat and vegetable plates. All are shareable and very delicious. Everything was so flavorful! I especially loved their salmon ceviche which was more like a salmon poke, in a Bloody Mary sauce which was so unique and interesting! The sesame seed "bagel" with the pickled veg and tahini sauce were also phenomenal. Throughout our meal, our waiter would come by to check in on what we'd want to drink also while offering shots haha. Everything was fantastic but I'd say the only thing that was just okay was the dessert. They brought 2, one was a chocolate truffle dish and the other was some sort of "cake" made from sorghum flour topped with pistachios. The truffles were good but much too rich and the cake was a little bit of an interesting texture although fine flavor, but nothing that exciting. Otherwise it was a fabulous place to eat and I'd totally go back!

Our meal at Night Kitchen is probably one of the best I've ever had. Thankfully we were able to get…read morea last-minute reservation, and I'm so glad we did. Like other reviews say this restaurant is tucked away in a cute little area with other local businesses and lots of foliage - beautiful. There were a lot of people and it was a bit loud, but you could tell everyone was just happy to be there and enjoying each others company. The service was great - we were even offered shots multiple time throughout our meal which was fun. But truly, the star was the food. We ordered the bagel, the burrata, the broccolini, the braised beef and the chicken thighs. My personal standouts were the broccolini and the chicken, but everything was truly amazing. The broccolini was plated on a skordalia sauce - which I had never heard of - but nearly licked off the plate. The chicken thighs though...are probably the best thing I've ever eaten. Unique, juicy, sweet, savory, creamy, umami, everything. I will dream about that dish until my next trip to Berlin, you just have to get it. Overall, Night Kitchen is definitely worth the hype and I highly recommend anyone considering it to (1) go and (2) make a reservation to secure your spot.

The plate also came with several condiments: amba (mango sauce), toum (garlic sauce), shatta (spicy chili sauce), and tarator (tahini sauce). We also got the Grill Teller, which came with an assortment of grilled meats including chicken kebab, lamb kebab, lamb chop, and lamb kafta, along with hummus, salad, and pickles. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful, but my favorite item was the huge falafels, which were nicely seasoned and had a nice crispy exterior. Overall, a great self-service restaurant, where you could help yourself to bread, utensils, and plates--and everything came at a good value too!

I tend to rate Lebanese restaurants in the basics - hummus, falafel, tabouli, babaganoush - and while I only had the first three I can say all were on point.

This is not the place for candlelight dinners, but most great ethnic food places are not. One hundred percent recommend.

We ended up with plenty of food and couldn't quite finish it all. The tabouli didn't have quite as much parsley as I'm used to, however, all the ingredients were fresh and it was well presented. The sampler included four kabobs - one chicken, one lamb, and two ground lamb along with some grilled tomatoes and pita bread. Each kabob was grilled perfectly. As for the mint tea, we loved how it included tons of fresh mint. Service was solid, although a bit slow and they did initially forget my beer. The place is extremely clean and prices were reasonable given the portions. They also have wifi and accept card. I would consider going back on a future Berlin visit.
