    The best place in Berlin so far! Nice and friendly people there, food was so good, delicious and worthy to try! Definitely will go there for some lunch. Drinks were good also especially the Persian tee. Calm and cozy atmosphere to enjoy your food. Prices for quality are absolutely fine.

    Wow! I just happened upon this place walking back to my hotel from the Berlin Wall Memorial. I was looking for plant based foods — not necessarily vegan, just food with more plants. A map search directed me here. I stopped in and had the chicken salad bowl and a Persian Lemonade. 🤤 Again, wow! The flavors were amazing. The portions were perfect. The staff were very friendly. This family run business is a must visit if you're in Berlin. The definitely accomplish their goal of presenting Persian food with a European style. 💯 I will come back the next time I'm in Berlin.

    Lovely atmosphere and delicious foods. I'd say it is not super authentic but you will find typical Iranian dishes and fast foods here. My favorite is the aubergine plate comes with a very nice dressing. They also have a daily menu with exciting items. The staffs are super polite and the chef makes extremely high-quality foods. I recommend having a visit.

    Google maps suggested this place. It was not too crowded by the time I got there. I ordered sausage and paprika omlette and coffee. Big portion, looking good, but I didn't really enjoy the taste...sorry. Anyway, the staff was nice and the restaurant seemed clean. Cute aesthetics.

    Tried Persian cuisine for the first time, and this restaurant was just amazing. I went there with my Persian friends, and right from the Tea till the Ice Cream desert, everything was extremely delicious. There are a lot of vegetarian options available. The rice with saffron was extremely delicious. The Server was super cooperative, knew multiple languages. The ambience of the restaurant was so nice, simple, minimalist, and proper. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant who wants to try Persian food. The menu is not so complicated, and if any doubts you can ask the person who takes the order too, he was very cooperative.

    Fresh and tasty ingredients, carefully put together to create colorful and delicious dishes, served by friendly staff in a relaxing atmosphere. And the sauces complement the dishes perfectly! Also, their refreshing drinks are amazing. And it is perfect to take away and eat at home or in a park! Definitely recommend Meet Me Half Way!

    We had a lovely breakfast here. Sadly, couldn’t try their main dishes but that’s one more reason to revisit Berlin! 😄 Interiors are gorgeous and inviting; also, staff is super friendly and helpful. 🙏🏼 Tip: Mama’s Omelette with Persian pickles is super delicious! 🍳

    Found this place randomly and decided to try it out for dinner one evening. At first when I was going through the menu, the prices seemed a little on the higher end, but as soon as the food arrived, I was positively surprised. Not just by the quality, but also by the quantity. I don’t remember the last time I had to ask to pack the remainder of my meal, to take home with me, but I did so here. The picture depicts the quantity of the food we ordered. Apart from the quantity, I liked the food so much, that I went back the next day to order takeout. I’ve been looking for some good quality Irani food, and this is just it. Plus: the seating and environment is super colourful and vibrant.

    Meet Me Half Way offers a unique twist on traditional Iranian cuisine, incorporating modern elements into their menu. The drinks, in particular, showcase a delightful fusion of flavors that you wouldn't typically find in Iran. The restaurant boasts a cozy and intimate atmosphere, and the staff are incredibly respectful and friendly. While the food is fresh, it is on the pricier side. It's worth noting that they have recently stopped using Iranian rice, which is a bit disappointing. Despite this, I've been a regular customer and will continue to visit in the future.

    Didn't give much thought when i ordered one of the breakfast options. When the friendly staff member brought me the food, still i wasn't confident that i madethe right choice. The plate consists in some way of the usual ingredients but it was very tasty. I ate everything and i mean everything till the last honey drop. O, and the cappuccino is also very good.

    Wonderful mixture of high quality Persian food and universal favorites. I really enjoyed the detail in the beautiful design and the very friendly staff. Though I didn’t order it tonight (only my first of many visits!) I was so happy to see Persian saffron ice cream on the menu. There is no Persian restaurant in Berlin quite like this!

    Staff are awesome. They speak English! We love their food and smoothie. Very helpful with breaking down the menu and helping us find the right plate. We love their saffron rice with roast beef and chicken.

    This was our first spot once arrived in Berlin! The food was really good but the esthetics are to die for!! We were super excited as we see the dishes coming. The ingredients were very fresh and well combined. The staff was super friendly, and were so kind to help us pack the leftovers since we ordered too much. It def set a perfect first impression of Berlin people and food for us. Thank you!!

    I highly recommend this place. They have everything. Delicious breakfast options, coffee, vegetable blend smoothies, (my favorite) and even beer! The customer service is superb. The ambience is relaxed, comfortable sitting, (inside and outside). Good music, wifi and friendly service. Give it a try!

    Authentic Persian cuisine! I am so glad we walked by this cute place on our last day in Berlin and decided to have a delicious breakfast here. Everything was top from Service to food quality to the general ambiance. I also loved their food presentation. Stop by and try this place, totally worth it!

    Big portions. Healthy food. Many vegan options. What to improve: - menu in English - fix website. basically it’s not possible to use at all. The filter doesn’t work.

    I recently dined at the Meet me half way and was blown away by the authentic flavors and delightful ambiance. From the perfectly cooked saffron chicken and rice to the attentive service and inviting decor, it was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for lovers of Persian cuisine seeking a remarkable dining adventure.

    Extremely delicious food, cooked by an authentic cook. The dishes have a nice presentation, portions are sized well and prices are reflecting the quality of the food, without being exaggerated. Service was prompt and very informative about each dish and potential allergies, the place is not very big, but well partitioned, which gives it a nice cosiness factor. This is an experience, don't just come to eat in a hurry, take your time to learn about the dishes and try multiple options out.

    I highly recommend this place🤩🤩🤩. The food and drinks are delicious. I tried the grilled aubergine bowl and it was fantastic!. The atmosphere is very nice and they are also super friendly. I was curious about some sweets that I saw and they offered me some to try. I will definitely visit again!

    My first Persian breakfast, and it was lovely! 3 eggs - lots of protein, haha. My favorite was the bread with butter and jam - Jam was the best I’ve had! I also got a green tea, and it was perfect. Wished I could’ve come back to try more on their menu and for coffee. Service was okay - there was someone at the register and I came when they opened. I wasn’t greeted, looked at, or offered any assistance to their menu; almost an nonverbal transaction so customer service could be improved.

    Very nice place.... Watch out if you are not careful you might miss it! Great to have some Persian food, a lot is based on safran. I took a safran chicken salad, it had beautiful colours, nice balanced taste... And the size of the dish.... Well I couldn't finish it!! With that I had a Persian limonade with wild basilicum seeds, rose water, safran.... Delicious

  • 5/5 Parisa V. 1 year ago on Google
    Been looking for brunch in one of the best parts of Berlin and found this place on google with great reviews. Very much liked the vibe through the pictures, so my sister and I had to check the place out. We both found this cafe restaurant very cozy, warm, and welcoming as soon as we got there. I absolutely LOVED the interior design. We've very much enjoyed looking around and appreciating the thoughtfulness in every piece of decoratives, lighting and the open kitchen. We were welcomed warmly by one of the owners (which are two brothers, hence the meet-me-halfway). I went for an omelette and my sister couldn't resist the flattering lunch bowls and totally ditched the breakfast part lol We both very much loved all the little touches and side dishes coming with our meal. Totally hooked and already went back few times.

    Vegan friendly restaurant. Very nice staff. They had an english menu. I visited last night at around 19.00. Almost full. Since I came alone I sat in the window side. Ordered the Grilled eggplant bowl and home made lemonade. It was delicious. I was blown away by the flavor. The bread was just mind blowing. The serving was good too. I was totally full after it. Recommended.

    I went to "meet me halfway" for the first time today and everything went really well with my reservation. The place is a bit smaller, so I definitely recommend booking in advance. I love the interior with the flowers and it looks very nice! I was given a very nice welcome. I ordered the omelette with salmon, which was really delicious and beautifully presented. Everything arrived really quickly. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. My only criticism is: Not having table service for such a nice place puts a damper on the experience for me. You have to go to the till and order there and pay before you've even tasted. I don't like that, but I could live with it.

    A surprisingly lovely place to eat. Fresh food done well. Sumptuous breakfast and excellent smoothie. I'll be back here.

  • 5/5 Sepehr S. 4 months ago on Google
    If I could, I'd totally give 10 stars to this place! Hung out here with a buddy today, and everything was spot on. The staff? Super friendly, polite, and total pros. And the food? Delicious. I went for the Gheyme, and my friend got the Lubia Polo – both hits. The vibe in the restaurant is awesome too. Definitely a 100% recommendation from me, and I'd absolutely go back!

  • 5/5 Biljana K. 5 months ago on Google
    The best breakfast in Germany I ever had! Totally worth it! We waited a bit but I would do that again! Enjoyed every bite! The service was good, we waited a bit for the food but it was crowded, that for understandable. We will definitely come back! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Sakura g. 5 months ago on Google
    Had a great time today. Came for brunch on Saturday with my friend. We took the Persian breakfast and the mango pancakes. The menu is extensive and many different choices. The hot chocolate was great ! The service was friendly too ! Would definitely come back to try something else

  • 5/5 Usman A. 5 months ago on Google
    Really really excellent Persian food that I stumbled upon by accident (I was on a business trip to Berlin and this place is halfway between my company's office and the hotel I was staying at). I especially recommend the saffron chicken tachin, and the saffron ice cream. Everything in the pictures cost me around EUR35 inclusive of tip, and would have been worth twice the price. Exemplary service too. Cannot recommend highly enough - I will definitely return when I'm next in Berlin.

  • 3/5 Amber C. 2 years ago on Google
    The drinks (Persian lemonade, chai latte) were very tasty but the food was just okay. Tajines are served with rice that doesn't taste very fresh: dried out top, and had to be pried apart with a fork. The spiced yoghurt that comes with it however was very good! The avocado toast was fine.

  • 5/5 arianna l. 6 months ago on Google
    I’ve never tried Persian food IT WAS SOOO GOOD. Vegetarian options and really good smoothies <3 I’m a fan now. The presentation of the dishes were super pretty they have chairs outside and a tent so you don’t get rain or sun. Highly recommend

  • 3/5 Linds 6 months ago on Google
    We came here twice on our recent trip to Berlin. The food was amazing, 5 stars for sure. The service was fine the first day we went but the second time I found the staff were a bit rude to us. They were very busy and stressed but that's not excuse to be rude to paying customers. They asked us to wait 5 mins before ordering as they were very busy (which we did) but when we tried to order they asked us to leave and wait longer. It wasn't a pleasant interaction. We sat outside the second time we were there and couldn't enjoy our meal at all because wasps were constantly flying around us. We were able to kill them after about an hour of suffering outside but it was honestly an awful experience. I wish they could have moved us inside. We asked for this but they told us they were unable to move us indoors. Our food went cold and we couldn't enjoy it because we spent all our time swatting away the wasps. That's not the restaurants fault but they didn't make any effort to help us move inside or get rid of the wasps.

  • 3/5 Waleed A. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and clean place. The staff was friendly. I ordered Chicken Safran. The chicken didn't taste good. There was some smell, probably not cooked properly or not fresh. I gave feedback to the owner and he offered me a free coffee shot. Also, there was only one washroom. You have to wait even if you just want to wash your hands. Update: I see the owner has replied to this, and I just wanted to clarify that I didn't finish my meal because of the smell. When we were leaving, waitress dumped all the plates in one. Also, another colleague personally shared with me that his chicken dish also wasn't the best.

    Very nice Persian food. Simple and elegant restaurant, food tasted as if a Persian mother was in the back. Flavors were vibrant and warm. Highly recommend and very fairly priced.

  • 4/5 lennart Q. 2 years ago on Google
    I took a Tahine dish as it looked wonderful. I found the rice a bit dry, but when adding the yogurt sauce, it was better. The chicken (or pigeon?) was also a bit dry, but it was tasty in general. The lemonade with the meal was good, but sweet.

  • 5/5 Jackie H. 10 months ago on Google
    We had an incredible dinner at Meet Me Halfway! We shared a hummus and tea, I ordered a salad and my husband ordered a sandwich. Everything was full of flavor and delicious. We came in very hungry, but the portions were generous and we were not able to finish everything! We’re visiting Berlin, but if we lived here we’d definitely eat there again (many times!)

  • 5/5 Amanda B. 10 months ago on Google
    Loved this place! We came for breakfast one morning and had such a great experience that we came back for lunch the following day. Wonderful service, atmosphere and INCREDIBLE food. Serving sizes are large too and so much flavor! You must check this place out when visiting Berlin!

  • 2/5 Alexander Sebastian S. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was nice but very unfriendly staff. Especially the woman with curly hair who seemed to be the manager. We called ahead and made a reservation but we didn’t feel welcome at all. We will not come again and wouldn’t recommend that service at all.

  • 5/5 Alla S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place with a real Persian food, friendly staff and a fast service. Very clean, nicely designed. All the food is made with love and care. We will come often for sure!

  • 5/5 Crash O. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome place for Breakfast and brunch. The food is really good! Several options for breakfast. The waiter and waitress were friendly and helpful. There are tables inside and outside. The tables out site are covered. You can stay outside even during raining days. Bring some money, so far they do not accept cards.

  • 5/5 Filipe B. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food, super friendly and welcoming staff. Tried the salmon with safran and it was so good and tasty. Loved the baba ghanoush too. And really enjoyed the persian lemonade (in the picture). A must go.
