Kanaan

This was so delicious! They have a fixed menu, where you get a lot of cold starters in small plates with bread, where you can get refill on what you like. That is followed by two bigger main dishes, and then a dessert. All for 33€ per person. We decided to get some of their cocktails as well, which was known cocktails with a twist - really good! All the dishes were vegetarian and packed so much taste. The staff where really nice and observant. Definitely a great experience and cannot recommend it enough!

I loved the food here! It's a wonderful blend of Israeli and Palestinian dishes, all vegetarian (but vegan is possible). The food is served as a fixed menu which came as a relaxing difference to other places I visited. And don't worry about not having enough - we were asked multiple times if we needed more of anything. Additionally, I want to point out their cocktails. They lean on the sweeter side, but can be boozy. I want to point out their Arak mixes as my favorites. It's a smaller place, but bigger groups can be supported. I strongly suggest to reserve in advance. However, same day reservations are possible if your group is small enough (and especially for two). I can't say if this place is good enough for one person, tho. Online they say that coming along could be a problem, but the menus in the restaurant mentioned that you can order for a single person (it just costs more).

I come here every time I am in Berlin. The food is just outstanding! A wide range of vegetarian and vegan dishes with exceptional flavours. My favourite is the brunch on the weekend and the wide selection of starters. The staff is super friendly and the vibe in general is very relaxed. I also had the set evening menu before which is also outstanding. I will definitely come back again.

Nestled at the crossroads of cultures and convictions, Kanaan is more than just a restaurant—it’s a bold, beating heart of hope. Founded on the unlikely and beautiful collaboration between Israeli and Palestinian partners, this eatery takes a courageous stand: to nourish not just the body, but the soul, with every dish and every gesture infused with a commitment to coexistence, dialogue, and peace. Our visit this time was for brunch, and what a feast it was. this meal was abundant, comforting, and celebratory. Each plate arrived like a small poem written in za’atar, tahini, and warm, fresh-baked bread. Whether it was the shakshuka, the creamy hummus, the labneh kissed with olive oil, or the fragrant sabich—everything was perfectly prepared and full of bold, authentic flavor. The portion sizes were more than generous, making it an excellent choice for sharing. But what truly sets Kanaan apart is its mission. In a time of deep division and conflict, this restaurant dares to defy hatred with hospitality. It offers not just a seat at the table, but a shared space for mutual respect. Dining here feels like taking part in something bigger—a quiet, powerful resistance to cynicism and fear. Kanaan is a testament to what is possible when courage meets creativity. It's rare to find a place where the food is so deeply satisfying and the experience so emotionally resonant. Come hungry—not just for food, but for connection. You’ll leave full in every way that matters.

Very delicious. The concept is one price for the chef menu with unlimited refill as soon as you can finish your food. For the price paid very well done. Drinks are nice as well. I recommend to come here in group. But for two people it’s also nice.

Oh my god the food here is BOMB!!! If you're into mediterranean style food, this is a must. Such flavorful and colorful dishes. The tahini with beetroot is amazing, so are the zataar potatoes and the grape leaf rolls. They have a very delightful mint lemonade. And the sheperd's pie was incredible!! Would go back! The place isn't the prettiest, decoration wise. It's okay, nothing bad just not fancy or cute. Staff is friendly and attentive!

Very nice restaurant. We were there for brunch and did order two different dishes. For us already the starters were too much but everything was very tasty and we enjoyed it a lot. We will definitely come back to test the dinner options, but I can highly recommend coming here and enjoying the food. Especially in summer when you can sit outside. Also, we liked that it is a card only restaurant.

Visited with 2 other friends of mine. We had booked it in advance. Hospitality is incredible. We were greeted with warm welcome and we had been explained about the course on table. Food tasted delicious, and here comes my but… Food was good but we were paying 29 euros per person. So the food quantity on table did not make justice to whopping €87.00 though the quality was good. NOTE: later when we started reading the reviews, it was mentioned in the some reviews that it‘s UNLIMITED food when you opt for their menu than. However, if thats the case then we should have been informed about it while explaining about courses. During dinner, We had asked for extra Pita bread. And overall, some Pitas were soft and some were dry and not warm which made an impression being served stale bread. Yeah we finished every last bit on the plate. As we were three but yeah one pita bread per piece but hummus quantity same all for 2 people on other tables compared to ours felt little bit not justified.

This is one of the best meals I have ever had! I'd recommend it to anyone in Berlin. Days later, I'm still thinking about how delicious the meal was! The restaurant is in a very cute neighborhood and is beautifully decorated. The servers are really kind and welcoming. In terms of service, we got our food pretty quickly. We got the lunch specials and the portions were massive - perfect for a big group of people or families. The hummus is phenomenal, so definitely order that! I got the Hummus Gaza and the knodel; both dishes were DELICIOUS and packed with flavor. The pita was incredibly fluffy and came to us warm. I can go on and on about how yummy this meal was - it's a MUST visit.

After reading the excellent Yelp reviews, I went there for dinner. The restaurant insists that you order the price fixe dinner menu, which is impossible for two people to eat. What can't customers order a la carte? It felt terrible to waste the food, but we simply could not finish it. A big part of choosing this restaurant were the dishes featured on Yelp. These dishes were not the ones we were served, which were bland, oddly spiced, and inauthentic. I frequently eat at Israeli and Palestinian cafes in NY, and this is not the cuisine I'm fortunate to enjoy at those places. Also, soy based shawarma is just, well, horrible. The wait staff was friendly, but the service was slow.

We found the food to be tasty and interesting. Service was super friendly albeit somewhat confused and chaotic at times. Many servers bringing food or drink, and not sure who was ours. We liked having several small plates to taste from: the first round was 6 starters. It added to the fun of the evening to taste and try this and that. The stuffed onion plate was really interesting and new for me, as were the skewered roasted beets with pistachios and feta. We liked everything we tried. It wasn't until the end that we realized it was all vegetarian! Very tasty. Plus we went because any attempt to bring together Palestinian and Israelis - even modestly through food- is a tiny tiny step in the right direction. Peace!

Kanaan is packed with people and you have to reserve in order to get seated. Concept and price: It's 20€ per person, where you can a variety of appetizer which includes falafel, baba ganoush, different kinds of self made bread, cauliflower, hummus and some other stuff. Within the 20€ you can choose one of three meals, where we went for the Palästina grilled vegetables and Mallawach Sabich. Taste: What we liked was their cauliflower and baba ganoush! The Mallawach Sabich was definitely the better main course with tasty grilled eggplant and great crusted flatbread. The falafels were ok, we personally like those from alin or avocado club more, but overall the food was good! Not crazy outstanding but good. The atmosphere was good and for 20€ per person you get to try a lot of different things. Skip the dessert, it's not worth the price and taste in our opinion.

Two things to consider before eating at this restaurant. They pride themselves on serving Palestinian and Israeli cuisine and yet neither are showcased in the dishes served at this restaurant. Political and social implications aside, the food is barely authentic to either nationality. The hummus was bland and had watery lentils in it (why not chickpeas?). Instead of serving pita, they serve focaccia bread with zataar/seasame seeds on it. When the real pita did show up it was so thick, I thought it was a baked kaiser roll with no poppy seeds on it. They have a salad with unseasoned iceberg lettuce and some type of "aoili" on it. The meat is all soy based so it tastes like a slightly off version of shwarma. They also give you every dish from of the menu without letting you have the choice to order a specific dish that you would like. I understand you want to showcase your menu to your customers, but I didn't sign up to eat your entire menu. At one point they served what they considered to be "shakshuka" and it had no eggs on it. Just a simple tomato sauce surrounded by hummus and the previously mentioned thick pita bread. The service was pretty good. The staff was definitely very kind and welcoming but I could tell the restaurant was understaffed and needed more people to manage the high amount of occupied tables in the restaurant. Besides "israeli food" being a cuisine that is less than 75 years old, there is little in the way of showcasing Palestinian cuisine. Mostly just saying that a dish have "Palestinian spices" on them and masking everything with pomegranate seeds. I would say if you want to have an authentic and tasty israeli/palestnian restaurant experience in Berlin, then find a PALESTINIAN restaurant to have a meal at. Overall, I really appreciated the staff. They seemed really sweet, but the food has no soul in it. I have no idea what y'all are going for.

The food here is SO TASTY! Great for vegetarians, but also simply delicious for anyone! Hands down best falafel I've ever had, not dry at all. Labaneh and hummus were also amazing!
