    Basmah is a true find in Kreuzberg. With incredibly affordable prices and mouthwatering Sudanese dishes, it's a must-visit. Generous portions make it perfect for a great deal for dinner out. The quality of their food is unmatched for the price, and it pairs wonderfully with a few beers. Don't miss out on this hidden culinary gem!

    Extrem leckeres Essen 👍🤩, alles frisch zubereitet (bedingt auf Wartezeit). Im Sommer kann man die Tellergerichte sehr gut draußen essen. Die Teigtaschen "to go" sind auch einmalig lecker und frisch (aktuell 5€ jeweils). Es ist eine große Auswahl von Fleisch und vegetarischen Gerichten dabei. Ich würde auch 7* geben!!! 🤩

    I ordered their special mix plate via Wolt. As you can see in the photo it didn’t look great, but the food was actually very good. I was thinking that visually there was too much peanut sauce, but it was quite delicious. Low prices and punctual delivery.

    Maybe the best hidden gem in Berlin. The peanut sauce is to die for, and it very well might be the cheapest full meal I’ve gotten outside of a supermarket. Went here several nights in a row because I couldn’t get it out of my head. For all the amazing things Berlin can bring you, few are as fulfilling as a falafel wrap from Basmah.

    Very nice place and a got alternative to the classical Berlin kebab. This is the Sudanese version of it. Very much like the peanut butter sauce which is also very filling. Prices are super low here. I don't know how they do it. Also already brought my friends here and they enjoyed it a lot too. I will definitely come here again!

    I'm actually slightly obsessed with this little place. Beautiful, tasty, cheap cheap food. Open all night. Always humming yet fast service. The tellers have everything on them. A bit of everything, and peanut sauce. There's also Vegan options. I love it. No frills. And not trying to be anything they're not. So tasty and delightful.

    very friendly service, good food, AND reasonable prices. I love it, it's open til 3am, which is good for midnight cravings. im not a fan of peanut sauces, but this is good! it fits and is flavorful. i ordered halloumi teller (plate) and it was only 6€ enough for 2 people (if not starving). i also tried falafel (pretty good) and tofu (fried with seasoning), personally halloumi was the best.

    This place was good for me but for others that are more OCD need clean facility (don't come here). The staff don't wash their hands and handles the money at the same time preparing your food. If you are okay with more street food style, it is yummy. I had the falafel + Hallumi terller for 6Euro it was really good - almost all fried but nevertheless tasty. I would def come back probably with a blindfold. The sauces like everybody says is really good and different. Also nobody wears masks (inkl. the customers). Come here but like i said if you are looking for nice hygiene this is not for you.

    So leckeres, authentisches sudanesisches Essen. Fleisch, Falafel, Soßen alles sehr lecker zubereitet und passt perfekt zusammen. Das erste Mal, dass ich sudanesisch gegessen habe und ich komme definitiv wieder. 😍🤤

    Outstanding Falafel and yummy peanut sauce, sooo good. Go for the basmah plate to get all the goodies 😋 🥜. Many veg and vegan options, all freshly made and fair prices. 6 out of 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 Next time I'm in Berlin I will be back

  • 5/5 Carolyn G. 2 months ago on Google • 42 reviews New
    delicious food, very reasonable prices. the only tiny thing I would say is they have a pretty small kitchen space, so if a bunch of people come back to back, it might take a little bit of time to get your food.

  • 5/5 Anna P. 7 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    I've really enjoyed it. Had the special mix and the portion was too big. But it was delicious. Costed 10€ (but I think it was the most expensive thing that they had)

  • 5/5 Emily Z. 6 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Food was great. I ordered the vegetarian mix plate. Large portion sizes. Friendly people working there

  • 5/5 Alex 1 year ago on Google
    Went there with my girlfriend, very nice food, prices are very reasonable, staff is friendly. Care about the spicy sauce, it is very very spicy (Nefi's Gemüse kebab's spicy sauce is nothing compared to this). Thank you for this experience and for the little dessert ball we got after, will come back for sure.

    sudanese fast food with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. quick service. friendly staff. peanut sauce with falafel yummm.

  • 5/5 A S. 2 years ago on Google
    The most ideal restaurant for a quick yet filling bite. The Falafel sandwiches and plates were incredible, the magali plate was a delicious extra. And a group of eight people paid 30€ including drinks which is incredible for Berlin. Definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone, but as the zone is not the safest I would say that you should come without designer labels. 10/10 to Basmah and their friendly staff, can't wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Jelena J. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite place in Berlin!! I love the Falafel Plate and the Falafel Magali sandwich, it's super tasty and even vegan!! This peanut sauce and mango sauce is incredibly good! To be honest the whole combination is so delicious! I definitely recommend you to visit that place and get something to eat there!! You won't regret it!

  • 5/5 simon w. 1 year ago on Google
    Still after being Here For 5 years best Peanut Sauce falafel. Very very delicious food. Reasonable priced. Absolutely recommend trying everything on the menu! Don't go there around lunch time (rush hour).

  • 3/5 Nathalie P. G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very very tasty! Price performance is right ... That was my actual evaluation. I have to subtract two stars afterwards. After I could actually see on a delivery that the chicken is frozen from Vietnam. I find that very questionable and for that reason I don't eat meat there anymore! (Original) Sehr sehr lecker! Preis Leistung stimmt... Das war meine eigentliche Bewertung. Ich muss nachträglich zwei Sterne abziehen. Nachdem ich bei einer Lieferung tatsächlich sehen konnte, dass das Huhn tiefgefroren aus Vietnam kommt. Ich finde das sehr bedenklich und esse aus dem Grund dort kein Fleisch mehr!

  • 3/5 Tatiana N. 6 years ago on Google
    Despite very good reviews we have read, we did not enjoy our food that much. It felt very unhealthy with no greens and even veggies being deeply fried. Falafel felt like a frozen one, not home made. But the stuff was super nice and friendly! The place itself is more take-away but have four tables inside and a few outside.

  • 5/5 Ciaran 1 year ago on Google
    Rolled up at 3am wasted, had the most slappin falafel tofu pita with peanut sauce and hots. The only thing I remember from that night is this food. Bless them.

  • 1/5 Agathe C. 1 year ago on Google
    Horrible, the waiters were extremely rude, for no reason, by assaulting by speaking badly to every client who came. Even if the food was good, the service was so unpleasant that we will not return.

  • 5/5 Ptitsuisse 1 year ago on Google
    Very good assortment and prices. A falafel and halloumi sandwich costs about 4€. The halloumi could be a bit less salty but that is basically the only critic. It gets very busy.

  • 4/5 Ash 1 year ago on Google
    Husband and I came here for the first time and we really enjoyed the sandwiches. He gives it a 4 star since he said the falafel were a bit bland and me however I give it 5 stars 🌟 i loved the chicken sandwich with their special peanut 🥜 butter sauce and mango! Thank u for the free donut balls :)

  • 5/5 Neeti Devesh M. 1 year ago on Google
    Basmah is total value for money. It's one of the best falafals I've ever had. The portions are extremely filling. Their teller dishes are so very sumptuous. Their sauces are simply amazing and the spicy one is really spicy. You can never return disappointed from this place. Would highly recommend everyone and then this can easily become your daily lunch place :)

    Sudanese food spot with a great variety of dietary options and really good portions sizes. You can pick from a list of sides, all kinds of protein making your platter a colorful mix of all kinds of stuff. Kinda expected more from the peanut sauce since it's on theit logo and all but other than that it was great and I enjoyed my meal there. Cash only tho! Be aware!

    Amazing taste ! Guys plase share details of peanut sauce ❤️

  • 3/5 Aga K. 5 years ago on Google
    Quick, open late, filling, I guess it would taste better after a pub crawl at 2 in the morning, unfortunately I was sober. Falafel and aubergine paste were really nice (I added an extra star for these), the rest was greasy, quite tasteless, peanut sauce was ok. The falafel and tofu plate was €6, it was quite big and the late opening hours justify the price I guess. It's great that they have real plates and cutlery, less rubbish = awesome. Friendly staff. It's good that they have toilet although I'm not sure if I stayed to eat if I saw the toilet first. Dirty and doesn't lock which makes it tricky to use, especially for women.
