Absurdly good food

Incredible dishes, full flavor, lovely cozy vibes. A must-do on any Berlin trip.

Disappointing

First: they offer cow milk and want extra money for plant milk, no idea why Happycow listed the place vegan (i reported it). It was weird because i asked if the place is fully vegan, the lady said yes, i noticed cow milk on the desk, pointed at it and she added the cow milk is the only exception. Why not clearly saying the place is only vegetarian and not vegan when i ask for it...? I avoid not-100%-vegan places when i can. At least all food is vegan.

The staff was friendly and i liked the busy atmosphere. I ordered two different Mezze which came with ONE bread. Which was not pita bread. And obviously ONE bread is not enough for TWO dishes so i ordered more. It took them ages. I waited and waited and had to ask twice (two different waitresses) until i got another bread and could finally go on with eating. The Labneh was good, the hummus only okayish, nothing fancy. But damn, i want to enjoy Hummus with pita anyway, not some random wheat flour bread.

On top, i had to read some "Free Gaza" and "Free Palestine" propaganda garbage in the restroom.

Not recommended, unfortunately.

A Must-Try Gem in Berlin 🌿✨

This place is an absolute must when you’re in Berlin! Every dish was bursting with flavor — truly one of those meals you keep thinking about after. I even brought my non-vegan parents here, and their jaws literally dropped at how good everything was! The place was super packed (we barely had any room to move), so they could definitely use a bigger location — but honestly, that just shows how amazing the food is. 100/10, highly recommend!

It is not a vegan place

They serve cow’s milk for coffee (and probably other things too)…

On top of that, they charge €0.30 extra for oat milk. Makes no sense at all for a place that calls itself “vegan.”

The food tastes good, but I honestly can’t trust that everything here is truly vegan.

We had a great time

We really had a great time. Food was great and people were very nice. We had the brotsalat, hummus, hot aubergine, blumenkohl (very, very good!) and the potatoes 🤩 ... We enjoyed it so much!

When its crowded its rather noisy, that has to be considered, when you're rather searching for the opposite.

Cons: Very noisy

Tasty and rich

We had some hummus, bread and potatoes and absolutely loved it. The food was rich in flavour and we really liked that they had boxes were you can put your leftovers in and take them home.
The place is a bit crowded though

Cons: Reservation is a must!

Fab vegan Levantine food

Cosy all vegan restaurant best for family style dining. I highly recommend booking a table. Friendly staff, super atmosphere. We ordered seven of the dishes between us. My personal favourite was the dip that comes with the smashed potatoes. The hummus was also very nice and the Tahinu had a nice Harissa kick to it. 
Sadly, we ran out of time and couldn’t try the Halva ice cream. Noteworthy: if you book, you have a time slot. Even though they offer walk ins, I would recommend booking to avoid disappointment or a long wait. #Veganuary

Unreal

Delicious food! I love the tapas-style service. I’m so glad I finally got to visit this place. I had tried to go on a previous trip to Berlin, but they were fully booked. This time, I managed to get a table, and it was absolutely worth the wait!

Personal muy amable y atento, el local es muy acogedor, luz tenue amarilla, velas en las mesas y música suave. Si no te apetecen sabores muy fuertes y especiados esta es muy buena opción. Pedí Hummus y Majadara, estaba exquisito, el pan me recordó al típico pan de aceite que comemos en España, casero y muy bueno. De postre me recomendaron Malabi también me gustó

Ein kulinarisches Highlight: Vegane israelische Tapas im Café Pilz

Das Café Pilz in Berlin ist ein Ort, den man sich als Veganer*in nicht entgehen lassen sollte! Die israelischen Tapas sind ein wahres Geschmackserlebnis – raffiniert, authentisch und unglaublich lecker. Um richtig satt zu werden, empfehle ich, drei Tapas zu bestellen. Jeder einzelne Teller ist den Preis absolut wert und bietet eine kreative und köstliche Auswahl.

Besonders hervorzuheben ist, dass das gesamte Konzept des Cafés auf Nachhaltigkeit ausgerichtet ist. Auch mein Tee hat wunderbar geschmeckt und rundete das Erlebnis perfekt ab. Wer auf der Suche nach außergewöhnlicher veganer Küche ist, wird hier voll auf seine Kosten kommen.

Pros: Authentische und extrem leckere israelische Tapas, Nachhaltiges Konzept, 100% vegan, Preis-Leistung stimmt – ein Genuss, den man sich g

Delicious food and cute Ambiente

The food was super delicious, the staff (expect from one guy) very friendly and organized. We sat inside, which was quite hot, but it was still worth it. Also the location and even the plates are super pretty.

Pros: Food , Location

One of the highlights of my visit to Berlin

Fresh off a late breakfast at Lonely Hearts Cafe, I settled for just two food options: labneh (first time) and cauliflower siniya. Both dishes were quickly served and looked and tasted beautifully. To top things off, I opted for a halva ice cream that turned out to be just as gorgeous as anticipated. Staff were friendly and the venue had somewhat of a hip vibe to it, but not to the point where it felt faddy or elitist. I would be delighted to return anytime!
Having just learned of their sister place Pilz Imbiss, which I presume will be fully vegan as well, I can only wish these two endeavours the best of lucks.

An explosion of tastes

Good variety of foods. I ordered the potatoes and cauliflower. Both very delicious. Crispy baked on the outside and soft inside. Iced Chai latte was also very tasty and refreshing. But you have to specify that U want oatmilk, since they also offer cows milk

Pros: Atmosphere , Variety of original dishes

Cons: Not 100% vegan. Serves cows milk

Vegan Levantine Cuisine

That labneh, wow! It's hard to find good vegan labneh, but Cafe Pilz did a fantastic job. My other favorite dish was the Cauliflower Siniya with tahini, pine nuts, pomegranate seeds, and sumac. I want to eat this often. Their bread was amazing, too. I didn't care as much for the Harissa Fermented Vegetables. The Hot Aubergine was definitely better than that one.

Reservations are definitely recommended. We got lucky, and they squeezed us into a very tiny table during a busy night. It was a plates-might-fall-off-and-shatter type of tiny table. I feel like we nearly didn't get in, and it was just luck. This is a very busy place, especially on the weekends.

Succeeded

The menu is simple but the dishes, typical of the Middle Eastern cuisine, are delicious! Hummus was superlative.
If you are in the area, recommended!
