    The only thing better than 30 minute wait and rude staff is finding a huge hair in the middle of my falafel. I asked for my money back and they decided they'd rather have a bad review. Well, here you go. Awful place.

    Busy at lunch but service is surprisingly quick. Staff is super helpful. The falafel baguette is a winner. Veggie-friendly too!

    The service is mediocre, but the food has changed a lot in a little more than a year, and it didn't take a good turn. I asked Shawarma im Teller and in the past you were given so much that you couldn't even finish the dish. It was incredible, one of my favorite places to go. I went a few times in 2021 and I noticed they no longer offered potatoes, and there was less chicken, less of every ingredient. The price had remained the same. Now (2022) I went again and they even put had fewer ingredients. The chicken was sitting on a matress of tasteless rice (just to fill in), and it was 2.50 € more expensive. This is beyond inflation, they just take advantage of tourists, but if you are a regular client like me you don't return.

    First of all as you can see on photos they have very good prices. It is a good thing for a quick snack. Service is nice. The only problem which I can see is that they put too much of lettuce in Brot. Mostly the meal is just a bit of meat and a lot of lettuce with some sauce. It should have more vegetables inside.

    We tried Esra teller dish, which contains a little bit of everything. It was nice. The Falafel was really good. And the staff were nice and speaking good English.

    I visit this place regularly because the food is good and it's a nice place to have lunch. In most cases the serve quickly. Pretty friendly staff. If you like hummus, halumi and shawarma, this is one of the best places in the area. I recommend number 27 (kofta and halumi).

    Great food, I am always up for Middle Eastern food and this place did not disappoint Workers were very friendly and welcoming I could not fault the service, I did make a couple of trips to this place during my short stay so that says something!

    Located near Alexanderplatz with small walk around. Place offers Schwarma with options to have a Roll or on plate with Salad. I personally found it just fine, meat is marinated with good taste. Although we were served which was bit dry. Chicken Schwarma roll was also good but not that spicy despite being ordered as spicy. There is seating place inside and outside both. Prices are moderate. Overall nice place to visit if you are around and want to taste Middle East food.

    Tasteless food with no salt and the server was rude as well. Would not recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Rebecca M. 1 year ago on Google • 106 reviews
    Delicious wrap, staff were able to recommend a vegan option and spoke both German and English. Tables were clean and tidy, service was friendly.

    Now called Vegan Falafel, I walked by this place and wanted to try it. They spoke both English and German. The portion sizes were large and the food was delicious. The guy at the counter was also very nice and helped me pick my menu. I recommend trying this place. *Picture is after I started eating already. 😋

    Ein orientalisches Geschmackserlebnis mitten in Berlin Der Esra Imbiss ist ein absolutes Highlight für alle Liebhaber der orientalischen Küche. Das Ambiente ist modern und gleichzeitig einladend orientalisch gestaltet. Es gibt gemütliche Sitzmöglichkeiten, die jedoch meistens besetzt sind, da der Imbiss aufgrund seiner Beliebtheit oft rappelvoll ist. Das Personal ist stets freundlich und zuvorkommend und berät gerne bei der Auswahl der Speisen. Angeboten werden verschiedene Falafel- und Halumi-Gerichte sowie Fleischgerichte, die wahlweise im Brot oder auf dem Teller serviert werden. Die Zutaten sind immer frisch und von höchster Qualität, was man beim ersten Biss herausschmeckt. Die Falafel sind perfekt knusprig und fluffig, der Halumi wunderbar zart und die Fleischgerichte saftig und aromatisch. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die große Auswahl an Saucen, die perfekt zu den verschiedenen Gerichten passen. Die Preise sind für die Qualität der Speisen absolut angemessen. Bestell- und Bezahlvorgang: Vorkasse: Die Bezahlung erfolgt vorab an der Theke. Bargeld und Kartenzahlung sind möglich. Selbstbedienung: Das Essen wird nach der Bestellung an der Theke ausgegeben und nicht am Tisch serviert. Wartezeit: Die Wartezeit kann bei hohem Bestellaufkommen etwas länger sein. Fazit: Der Esra Imbiss ist ein Geheimtipp für alle, die leckeres und preiswertes orientalisches Essen genießen möchten. Die freundlichen Mitarbeiter, die frischen Zutaten und die köstlichen Speisen machen jeden Besuch zu einem Erlebnis. Trotz der Selbstbedienung und der Wartezeit ist der Esra Imbiss aufgrund der leckeren Speisen und der freundlichen Atmosphäre absolut empfehlenswert.

    Ich habe Falafel in Brot bestellt, standard Größe für 5 €, es war lecker, heiß und fresh, die Mitarbeiter sind auch sehr freundlich. Drin gibt es Toilette. Man kann auch mit Karte bezahlen! Ich werde es weiter empfehlen ❤️

    Wirkliche schön eingerichtet Schneller Service auch zur Mittagszeit Essen wurde von meinen Kollegen gelobt Falafel war knusprig 💕 Etwas mehr Soße wäre gut gewesen

  • 4/5 Michela 2 years ago on Google • 27 reviews
    Love this place! The falafels are great, one of the best in town. Everything is very tasty. During lunch time can get very busy, but also very fast in serving food. In the picture the dish I ordered, a shawarma-falafel-halloumi teller.

  • 5/5 Selena K. 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    If you find yourself near Alexanderplatz (especially in the late evening hours), this is a great place for falafel. Tasty, large and filling portions,👌🏻

  • 5/5 Ahmad A. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited Esra Restaurant looking for a well made Shawerma. I'm impressed by the quality of the food and the amazing kindness of the staff, Ahmad was there and he was very hospitable! Thank you so much!

  • 5/5 sreejith p. 4 years ago on Google
    Esra teller is out of this Cosmos ! Everything about it is perfect. Too much food for 2 but i guess good for 3. Orange juice (Orangensaft ) is freshly pressed for you and straight from the gods of citrus. Additionally they have a Mango and a Tomato-Aubergine chutney /sauce which is very goooood. Food came in 10 minutes. They really fresh press the Oranges so that will also take 5-10 minutes. Hospitality was good and overall a good experience. You can never go wrong here !

  • 4/5 Ashutosh B. 2 years ago on Google
    I like the food slot,they have vegan options and those are tasty.Staff there also speaks English apart from Deutsch.

  • 5/5 Balint K. 4 years ago on Google
    Freshly prepared and tasty falafel, great hummus and yummy sauces. All these for €7.50-8.50.

    Tried their Shawarma . Pretty low quality . Staff behaves as if they are paying me to eat their food

  • 5/5 Serhiy P. 4 years ago on Google
    Super busy during lunch hours and fantastic quality of the food, despite having pretty decent pricing. Tastes way better any of the street food places

  • 5/5 Onur �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I had never eaten such a great cook in bread before. The employees are very, very friendly. The prices reasonable. And the falafel above all is awesome. Also my best falafel (Original) Hatte bis jetzt noch nie so einen tollen kufte (köfte) in Brot gegessen. Die Mittsrbeiter sind sehr sehr freundlich. Die Preise angemessen. Und die Falafel vor allem sind der Hammer. Waren auch meine besten Falafel

  • 5/5 Patric D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) You can get a mega delicious meal here. At lunchtime, you should bring some time to order the food (many hungry guests). In the end, the wait is worth it. It was a pleasure (Original) Ein mega leckeres Essen kann man hier sich holen. Zur Mittagszeit sollte man für das Essen ordern ein bisschen Zeit mitbringen (viele hungrige Gäste). Am Ende lohnt sich die Wartezeit. Immer gerne wieder

    (Translated by Google) Very tasty food at moderate prices. Unfortunately, very long queues at noon (Original) Sehr leckeres Essen zu moderaten Preisen. Mittags leider oft sehr lange Schlangen

  • 1/5 Paula DELGADO C. 2 years ago on Google
    The stuffed grape leaves where rotten,literally I almost puke when I try to eat them. Don’t eat in a place with decompose food. I recibe no apologizes or explanation when I ask the manager. I think it worst experience I have add with food in my life.

  • 4/5 Rico T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very tasty. Anyway, offering Humus for the Shawarma without telling it's 1€ more is not a nice behavior/move. The service was fast and prices are okay.

  • 5/5 Koray Can C. 1 year ago on Google
    Falafel was very very tasty. Plus you can pay with a card! In Germany! Even for 5 euros!What more do you want?

  • 5/5 Saif M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very very delicious food, clean and fast service. I will definitely come here again.

  • 2/5 Kane 1 year ago on Google
    There’s a reason for it being so empty compared to its neighbouring restaurants. If you get a plate they fill it with cheap couscous and rice. The taste is also quite bland.

  • 5/5 Kristan H. 1 year ago on Google
    Had such a good shwarma from here. Falafel are lush and the man serving was super helpful. Would definitely recommend.

  • 3/5 Alexander K. 1 year ago on Google
    The prices of the food is another equal to the quantity that you get when ordering a "big plate".

  • 5/5 Ronnie A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Falafel wrap I have ever eaten in Berlin so far, tasty and fresh ingredients 👍 Liked the oriental decorations The staff are super friendly.

  • 4/5 Arpit G. 1 year ago on Google
    Their vegan options are very nice. Staff is super polite. I always found a place to sit and it is in center of Berlin. All in all worth visiting......

  • 5/5 Finnuala Q. 1 year ago on Google
    One hell of a hallumi wrap. Kofte wrap also filled with sauces and other flavours.

  • 5/5 Diego V. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty falafel wrap, and specially like the pickles, yet what sets this place apart is the warm and kind service. A really rare pleasure in Berlin, makes me happy to come back.

  • 3/5 Wissam A. 1 year ago on Google
    In general, food is good, but if i take into account the fact that the restaurant is middle eastern, it's not that authentic. Environment is good and people there are friendly.

  • 5/5 Remko S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent chicken Sharma and halloumi wrap; warm main fillings with crisp salad and good pita bread. Nice coffee. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely go again.

  • 5/5 Darshan G. 1 year ago on Google
    I come here often for lunch. Their shawarma is super delicious. I love their sauces. It's also quick & easy for takeaways and eating it in the park nearby. The price is very reasonable and they also have a loyalty program for regular customers.

    (Translated by Google) I don't know how to eat, because we arrived at 20:45 to try it, after reading the beautiful reviews, we had a nasty surprise, the owner let us in telling us that it was already closed ... At 20:45 ...? If you feel like going, keep in mind that it can happen to you too ... (Original) Non so come si mangia, perché arrivati alle 20:45 per provarlo, dopo avere letto le bellissime recensioni, abbiamo avuto una brutta sorpresa, il proprietario ci ha fatto entrare dicendoci che era già chiuso...

    They serve halal meat! Portion is huge, price is right and service was great!

  • 2/5 Rami A. 3 years ago on Google
    Hmm. Overall bad experience. I placed an order for a falafel sandwich to try this place out. Unfortunately, the guy decided on the sauces that goes in the sandwich himself. Not only that the falafel was not distributed well in the sandwich and it was mostly salad. The whole sandwich taste was dominated by the sauces (mango and spicy) and somehow felt dry-ish in the same time. What a mess!

  • 4/5 Sarah M. 6 years ago on Google
    Super nice and friendly staff. They have a few vegan options whereby they even ask if you wanna have it vegan or vegetarian. I had the plate with falafel and makali, and they put extra couscous, salad, hummus and pita, plus some sauces (but too few amount). It was a bit too fatty for me, but apart from that okay. And the makali is fried in some dough. In the lunch break you can sit outside in the sun and the staff is even so nice, to bring the food to your table. Sometimes they just couldn't make it to clean them quickly enough, but that was okay.

  • 4/5 Ahmad G. 4 years ago on Google
    Super busy during lunch hours. Sandwiches are well priced. A delicious meal that will get you full and ready to get back to work. Recommended to try at least.

  • 4/5 Ghazal G. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to get a quick, cheap and comprehensive meal. I ordered the falafel plate served with salad, hummus, different sauces, yogurt, fries and couscous. The falafels were crispy and delicious. They were only a little too oily for me. I definitely recommend this place though.

    I had a shawarma and the taste wasn't good, by that I mean it was tastles, so I didn't enjoy it at all. The ambience is quite good so is the location. And yes a last remark the music inside was extremely loud definitely not adequate for an eating environment!!

    This is my favorite place when I want to have a shawarma, be it with falafel, meat, makali or combo. I highly recommend Esra Teller. For 13€ you will enjoy a feast for two (Vege or with meat) The staff is really friendly, it makes the food even tastier.
