I was there with a friend and a girlfriend (Kreuzberg), on the initiative of the said friend (restaurant industry). I was actually skeptical right away and knew what to expect when my good friend announced the shop. On site: 100 percent confirmation of my fears and a lot of fuss about nothing. The audience and service are very young and "hip" - at 35 I felt old (maybe it was a coincidence). The food is good but nothing different to what you get at Esra snack bars or Lebanese restaurants, but it's super expensive. The wines are all from Italy. The service only speaks English - you should really have gotten used to that by now (it's Berlin after all, so it's probably considered good manners!). The atmosphere is great and makes you feel comfortable, but the acoustics AND music are so loud that you have to cut the evening short after a maximum of 3 hours (all the other reviews here are not exaggerating!). You're completely worn out afterwards, either your voice or your ears fail, or both. Conclusion: I'll never come back. If you like it, you like it. As a Berliner, I'm sick of this "Berlin" fancy-hip pseudo-gastronomy. I had a nice evening and everything was "okay" in terms of the points mentioned, but overall you end up in a bad mood and with tinnitus after a visit.

Authentic and tasty food. Small portions (a chickpea and shrimp "stew" was 18 EUR for just a little bowl). They are also doing a trendy thing of moving the location of the restaurant every once in a while so make sure you go to the right place. Otherwise the atmosphere was cool, all waiters were dressed up and the decor was fun.

I tried the hummus and an eggplant dish there. The food is delicious, but the portions are rather small, especially for the price asked. This may be due, among other things, to the location of the restaurant, which is found in the more expensive district Prenzlauer Berg. The staff was very friendly and since the restaurant is on a side street, you can sit outside comfortably. A friend made a video review of this restaurant. So if you want, you can get an impression of the food and the surroundings that goes beyond pictures. If someone is interested, just enter "yafo berlin" on YouTube (the construction site is no longer there). A piece of advice from my Israeli friend: good hummus in huge portions can be found in Arabic restaurants in Berlin 😉

Unfortunately, the new restaurant has dismantled a lot. Food overpriced and unfortunately a pure disaster in taste. The spring salad consisted of a few leaves of salad with a bit of Parmesan, without proper dressing. For 14€ an absolute hammer. The pita bread also costs extra. We had been regularly at the old Yafo, then an insider tip and delicious food. The new location is not comparable at all. I'm afraid we won't be eating at Yafo anymore.

Basically a nice place, but nothing special. You wonder why it's now completely normal that you only get a menu in English, and you can't even be understood in your own language, let alone be allowed to order. That's really an incredibly arrogant, cheeky and not at all hip approach. What about non-English speaking people? They are simply excluded in their own country? The menu is very small. The food is delicious, but not particularly unusual. The price/performance ratio is not right at all. A very high price for very small portions. Not even the pita is included (costs €2.00! Each), which isn't on the menu either. For a 0.1 l wine you pay an overpriced €8.00 or €9.00 (the amount isn't even clear from the menu!). Overall, disappointing! Unfortunately, we won't be going back.

So tasty but so disappointing! I came here as recommended by my friend whilst on a trip to Berlin. The food was so so tasty, but portions are quite small and the price doesn’t really reflect this. I think it is probably overpriced for what it is. I had the baked cauliflower with tahini..... this was PERFECT. One of the best things I’ve had on my whole trip to Berlin, it is worth going just for this!! We also had the pulled lamb with houmous, this was also very very VERY good. I was disappointed by my ‘salad’ or feta and olives, which when it came was one small slab of feta with literally 3 olives on top. The service wasn’t great but it’s hard to moan when we are coming to the end of a pandemic etc, our order arrived and it was taken to the wrong table. Then we had to have all of our food at different times. All in all I would definitely go back, and I would just put this down as a one off for poor service & execution. But the taste of these dishes were insanely good!

Won‘t get any better. Perfect food, service and atmosphere. No regrets. I’ve reserved at the wrong location and they’ve still been very flexible and made a table available for us. Will always come back.

My husband and I had bread, labneh and matbucha and the chicken shawarma and lamb dish. The food here was incredible!!! Everything was so fresh. I love middle eastern food and this was pretty much the best I’ve ever had. Simple concept, expert execution with simple, fresh flavours. The bread tasted fresh out of the oven and I tried a cucumber infused cocktail and it was also light and fresh (unlike the sickly sweet cocktails I often encounter). Staff were very friendly and attentive. Overall, this was a great experience, I highly recommend if you like middle eastern food!

crazy experience absolutely chaotic service, when booking you have to enter a credit card for dinner we came after leaving the restaurant we found out that a fee of €40 was charged for canceling the reservation. We called several times without success, small portions and crazy prices, this restaurant will never be used again, the service is absolutely horrible, no one knows what to do.

Really nice restaurant with a great atmosphere and amazing food. Big but: the prices are unreasonably high. A quarter of a cauliflower and a cup of hummus for 11,50€ seems really expensive. Another guest told me the same dish was 8€ a year ago which I'd consider a fair price for what you get.

LOUD This is a really really really loud place with little chance of hearing a person who is not your immediate neighbour. POOR SERVICE: - Asked for a salad with no dressing due to dietary restrictions, got a salad with dressing, sent back, got exactly the same serving again, but with dressing drained from it, the ingredients still soaking in it. Really?! - It took an hour to get served a lukewarm special of the day. An hour! POOR VALUE FOR MONEY Tiny portions for the price - shockingly small tomato salad and pulled meat with humus.

Really enjoyable dinner near our Circus apartment. From the moment we arrived the crew here were so friendly & accommodating, even on a Tuesday evening it was buzzing...so book ahead. We had a regular menu dish of pulled lamb & hummus - a real sharing dish, served with pickles. Also a hangar steak special with chimichurri - this was so tasty. All washed down by a full bodied Lebanese red. What’s not to like? A very enjoyable first evening in Berlin.
