It's certainly not inviting to go in. I tried to go in one afternoon after curiosity finally and everything was locked. Maybe just call ahead to make sure it's going to be open if you really want to go?

We were all hungry for lunch, but I got bad vibes as soon as we walked in. No welcome, but a demand that my husband put away his rucksack and my son stop using his mobile. They ushered us to sit and brought out menus we ordered one omelette for my son, a sharing plate of humous and falafel and various other things for me and my husband, and my daughter ordered a small plate of humous felafel. It wasn’t cheap so I expected it to be good but it so wasn’t. Oh, and for an entree they bought out matza with a horrible dip. I didn’t realise it was Passover!! No Jew eats matza outside of Passover it’s the bread of affliction. The sharing plate consisted of Some beans chucked on a plate, tasteless grains, 4 tiny felafel between 2 of us and one slice of aubergine each (tiny) plus some shredded lettuce and incredibly garlicky humous that was almost inedible. My son liked the omelette though, but you can’t go far wrong with eggs. We also got some stale white bread with our meal which had been heated up to disguise this fact. Where was the pita bread? Where was the Israeli salad? It was All served up without a smile. We ate quickly and left and vowed to warn others on trip advisor. There was nothing pleasant about this cafe and if this is what represents the Jewish community in Berlin I despair!
