There are tons of options, including many vegetarian ones, and I have yet to try a dish that wasn 't beautifully made, with balanced, light flavors. There are lots of beans, lentils, vegetables, yogurt-based sauces, olives, cheeses, stews, bread, tea, three or four variety of starchs--rice, couscous, bulgur, etc-, burek, fried stuff, baked stuff, boiled stuff.... Sometimes, if I need to eat one meal in a day, I 'll go here. Second: the people that work here come from various places--Turkey, Lebanon, Germany, Cuba...ALL of them (that I 've met are friendly, generous, and welcoming (and patient as I point at the different foods to pile my plate with! . The atmosphere of the restaurant is awesome: a clean, simple yet warm vibe, classical music playing, and a back room where you can look onto the back yard. Third: you are getting ALL of this for either 7 or 9 Euro. I come from NYC, where one can easily--and in fact often does--pay twice that amount for food half as good. SUPPORT places like this, that offer lovingly made, healthy, delicious food for good prices....this is my favorite restaurant BY FAR in the neighborhood, and there are many other good ones here. I 've brought about 4 friends here and all of them have been blown away...one even told me the next day, dude, I can 't stop thinking about that restaurant! .

This quaint family owned restaurant/catering service offers a great value of a large, all you can fit, Mediterranean food for €9.50 (or small plate for €8). I was quite amazed at how much food could fit on one plate! The service was amazing such heart-felt. I would recommend this place to anyone! Although bear in mind there is not a whole lot of space to sit.

How I love you! About one year ago, I walked on Kantstr. and passed this beautiful food display and got stuck on the smell. From that moment on, I wanted to try this place. Due to their listed hours, it never worked out for me. But we have never forgotten the smell and the beautiful display of food and made it our priority to finally try this place. The owner is the sweetest lady EVER! One should visit this place for that too. Around lunch time it is packed, yet the owner still manages to keep a smile on her face and serve everyone with love. How this place works: 1) Choose if you which plate size you want (small 6,50 EUR, big plate 7,50 EUR) 2) Get in line and tell the lady behind the deli which size you would like and then pick from all the freshly prepared food. 3) The lady explains every dish and can also recommend 4) Sit down and eat. The food is healthy, freshly cooked, delicious and delicious....delicious. I wish the place would be a bit bigger because you will not be the only one eating there but it works. The decor is easy and minimalist and has a feel of country. It is clean and during the time we were there, another lady served free black tea. I am so lucky that I live so close to this place because it will be my favorite place to eat. PS: I spoke to the owner and she stated that she is going to extend her time to 8 p.m.

We were both still a bit full from our cake at Maitre Münch (close to this restaurant, very cool area. Would recommend as well) and so we both had the small tapas plates. The food was all so fresh and tasty, so many amazing flavours. You could choose from their selection of dishes and I got the feeling that if you wanted all of them they would just keep piling it up on the plate. The mum and her son were so lovely, and brought us tea to drink with our meal. The food was amazing, the service was great, there's nothing bad to say
