Healthy organic nice food - Edit
If you love healthy food, it's a nice place. I enjoyed my meal, though it had too many leaves, but my partner didn't like his food and stayed hungry. The prices are a little too high, 11.50 euro for a bowl half filled with cabage and spinach. The design is nice and the staff is friendly.
Read morePros: Unlike other vegan restaurant around, if you want
Cons: Expensive and not for everyone.

good food but expensive and bad service - Edit
The bowl does delicious, organic, healthy food - normally a sort of warm grain-based salad with different toppings. It's delicious and the interior is really beautiful. Also it's above Veganz so you can get your specialist shopping out of the way at the same time.
Read moreThat said... the other reviews here are right about the service. So slow - to seat you, to take your order, to to bring your food, and to bring your bill. The place is understaffed obviously so the staff are stressed and rude. My food once came with a shard of plastic in it and the staff didn't care (they did give a discount when I asked at the end with the bill but it should have been offered to be honest...). You also cannot reserve a table and it gets packed around 7pm.
It's a weird place really. In terms of food I recommend the California and Makro bowl. The golden milk drink is good too - though a bit sickly.
Positives are that there is tap water and you can pay with card. The food is genuinely delicious and filling.
Pros: taste, tap water, opening hours
Cons: staff, price, can't reserve

Great food worst service in my life. - Edit
I have been all around the world, to a lot of restaurants. This one beats them all in terms of bad service. The waitresses act as if they do you a favor when they pay attention or give you the food. The only thing that might make me come back is the great food. Hope they fix this issue asap.

Remember to be Spiritual in Neon Lights - Edit
The neon spiritual sign and the wifi password RELAXNOW really set the scene for an overpriced restaurant that is attempting to be health food haven. In reality it was an overpriced restaurant that left my friend and myself feeling ill well into the night after a €15 each meal.

I wish I had this in my home town! - Edit
We had a Buddha Bowl and one other (I cant remember the name) with pasta, banana maca smoothie-THE BEST!! and kimchi. All was very very delicious, but do not take non-vegans that are not open to veganism here. I took my brother and he didnt enjoy it. Maybe the sweet potato wedges were a bit too salty.
Read morePros: all vegan, delicious, relatively fast

Ja, das kann sich sehen lassen! - Edit
Das "The Bowl" ist ein Restaurant mit tollem Ambiente und guter Küche. Dank der leckeren Küche wartet man teilweise etwas auf einen Platz, aber es lohnt sich allemal. Der Service in dem doch recht großen Restaurant ist freundlich und flink. Das Essen schmeckt sehr gut und ist teilweise recht ausgefallen. Alles in Allem ein toller Ort!
Read morePros: tolles Essen, tolles Ambiente, toller Service
Cons: sehr voll, lange Wartezeiten

Over-praised but worth tasting, esp. for coeliacs - Edit
First impression - heavy smell of cocconut from upstairs while coming to the restaurant on first floor above Veganz supermarket. Second hit - not great service. Third thing: the food. Sure: organic, glutenfree, clean, crispy, fresh. But beetroot falafel doesnt agree with me, salad accompanying falafels was served almost with no dressing, very blant. My friends Buddha bowl was richer due to sweet patato chunks with cocconut curry sauce. Great homemade lemonade. Tried their soup of the day which was broccoli/carrot cream served with bread but: the soup was a bit heavy on salt to my taste, and bread served with soup was actually banana bread! Honestly, the waitress warned me that bread was sweet and more like dessert but what is the point of serving sweet slice of banana bread with soup?? Amazing
Read morePros: great lemonade, nice vibe, glutenfree
Cons: non-flexible service, soup served with slice of cake, no dressing - blant salad

really tasty and healthy - Edit
met with the terrible twosome who are ambassadors for Berlin:-)
Read morea great option and pretty unique. none of us had the same option and 12eueo for a good size bowl on intricate food is pretty good value in my book. left feeling full but not bloated. really nice interior and a class above most other restaurants in style and taste for Berlin.
travelling with a five year old is never easy but a plate of hummus and some sweet potato fries went down a treat. a must if in Berlin.
Pros: tasty, good value
Cons: busy so service a wee bit slow.

healthy, tasty, filling food - Edit
The Bowl serves healthy, tasty, filling food, the kind it can be difficult to find while traveling and vegan. The menu is relatively short, and a bit pricey, but the items are delicious and don't leave you with a stomachache. I had a bowl and a smoothie and wish I could go back!
Read morePros: delicious food & smoothies, large portions, friendly staff
Cons: pricey

Great place for lunch - Edit
I'd wanted to visit the vegan supermarket Veganz for some time and after that we went upstairs to the Bowl. Each of us had a different salad, although it was very difficult to choose as they all sounded so delicious. And they were. Staff was very helpful and friendly too. I will definitely return on my next trip to Berlin

Healthy stuff! - Edit
We went to the bowl for lunch, because Goodies was closed. I'm sceptical to the concept of clean eating, and this food was a bit too healthy for me. The risotto was tasty! Salad was ok. Friendly staff!

Cons: Healthy, Everything (even coffee) served in a bowl.

An obligatory stop in Berlin - Edit
An excellent vegan restaurant in an all vegan building (other vegan businesses inside). The food is only served in bowls (hence the name) and always very colorful and tasty.
Read moreI recommend to check the daily offer on a big black board in the rear part of the restaurant for various seasonal stuff.
The selection of teas and other matching beverages is also available. Fresh tap water is available free of charge.
Pros: Very good food served in bowls, Seasonal specials on a black board

favorite - Edit
Trotz einiger Mängel einer meins meiner Lieblingsrestaurants in Berlin der letzten Monate.
Read moreDer in warmen brauntönen gestaltete Hauptteil des Restaurants wirkt einladend und harmonisch, der zweite farblich abgetrennte Teil dagegen gefällt mir gar nicht, auch wirkt die Beleuchtung dort kühler, insgesamt ums Eck gebaut und sowieso daher schon unruhig bis interessant, je nach Perspektive.
Begeistert bin ich von der Essensphilosophie, entspricht sie genau meiner privaten und bisher habe ich in Deutschland zumindest noch kein Restaurant gefunden, in dem ich fast so essen kann wie zu Hause. Super. Die Gerichte selbst sind mir persönlich zwar viel zu schwach und wenig exotisch gewürzt, besonders als Emirate-Kenner war ich erschrocken, als ich z.B. die Falafel zum ersten Mal kostete. Auch die Dressings sind eher lasch. Jedoch gewöhnt man sich daran und erwartet irgendwann keine interssant gewürzten Gerichte mehr und ist stattdessen dankbar, überhaupt bio, vegan, glutenfrei außer Haus essen zu können.
Auch ändert sich dies etwas von Tag zu Tag oder Koch zu Koch ein wenig, aber insgesamt müssen hier verwöhnte Geschmacksknospen etwas darben. Was ich jedoch gar nicht in Ordnung finde, ist die Wechselhaftigkeit der Portionsgrößen. Vor allem bei den Desserts hatte ich schon die Hälfte/das Doppelte der Menge bei gleichem Preis. Hier sollte man aufpassen, so verprellt man auf Dauer auch zufriedene Gäste.
Das Superseed-Brot zur Tagessuppe ist sehr zu empfehlen, ebenso der Spinat. Ansonsten schmecken mir persönlich - abgesehen von der etwas zu laschen Grundwürze - alle Bowls, was ich bisher in keinem Restaurant erlebt habe. Auch haben sie ausreichend Grünzeug dabei (mit sehr wenig Dressing leider), so dass kein separater Starter-Salat nötig ist. Auch sollte man beachten, dass sich die Starter exakt in den Bowls widerfinden und man daher schon genau lesen sollte, wenn man nicht enttäuscht werden möchte. So ging es mir beim ersten Mal.
Smoothies schmecken gut und sind sehr kalt, ebenso das Wasser, was geschmacklich jedoch top ist.
Die Mitarbeiter sind insgesamt freundlich, wobei jedoch leider nicht alle den gleichen Dienstleistungscharakter nach außen tragen. Ich zeige meine Wertschätzung oder Enttäuschung dementsprechend deutlich beim Trinkgeldgeben oder -weglassen, da meiner Erfahrung nach es immer die gleichen sind, die sich bemühen oder eben nachlässig bis eher gleichgültig anmutend ihren Job verrichten.
An manchen Tagen verlässt man nach Küche riechend den Ort, w
Pros: glutenfree, all blowls, location
Cons: too little spices, bland, unsteady service, kitchen smell

Refreshingly Tasty - Edit
My boyfriend and I were in Berlin for New Years & came across this gem of a place via the app.
Read moreYesterday I ordered the Italian bowl which was so fresh and full of flavour, just what I needed on a really cold day! It was so good yesterday that I went back today to try the Buddha bowl which was also very tasty & hearty. Their almond milk chai's are also delicious and really fluffy :)
The restaurant itself is decorated and designed nicely with a pleasant, warm & welcoming feeling!
Majority of the staff were so lovely but sadly there is one particular lady who wasn't very friendly/accommodating like the others but aside from that it's totally worth the visit when in Berlin, we are heading back again for a third time to try the Mexican bowl & a smoothie :)
Pros: Tasty food, nice atmosphere, decent prices for the
Cons: One staff member was not friendly or polite

Perfect location and healthy food! - Edit
I have been here 3 times already and will go back any time I am in Berlin! In cities I tend to eat a lot of fast food and it is nice to have a healthy bowl every once and a while :-)
Read moreEverything I have tried so far tasted amazing with a lot of attention to detail!The california bowl is my favorite. And off course the location with Veganz, Avesu and Goodies could not be better.
I would recommand going for lunch rather than dinner. They offer a lunch deal, where you pay less for the bowl of the day and a drink is included (water or Apfelschorle). It is also much less crowded, in the evening there tends to be a waiting line. Service is also better.
The only thing I don't really like is how they ask for tips. I understand tips are not included in the prices and it is okay to write this on the bill but I think drawing a circle around it and writing thank you is too much.
Pros: Very good food, Lunch deal, Healthy
Cons: a bit pushy for tips

Best vegan meal I've ever had! - Edit
Beautiful restaurant and friendly atmosphere. Incredible healthy clean food choices. The fried Brussel sprouts with cashew cheese sauce was to die for. You definitely have to go here when you're in Berlin. I'm going back tomorrow for more delicious food before I fly home.
