rocket + basil

Wonderful fresh ingredients and layered flavors with creative combinations in the weekly salad left me wanting to return. The poached egg I added was cooked perfectly and the lemonade was refreshing. I found the waitress really pleasant and attentive. This is a must do restaurant and a much needed break from the heavy German food in the area. Highly recommended!!

Great place for Brunch. Wide variety of Sandwich options, equisite, creative, creation's for every taste with several VE options. Usually a short wait should be taken in mind, pretty busy between 11-15. Very nice place ♥️

I had a chicken sandwich expecting something nice, but I was slapped on the face by unexpected, delicious flavours. Imagine eating a Pho in a solid form. The greens and spices harmonised perfectly with the chicken and mayo, and the bread was also very good.

Quality ingredients and tasty dishes, definitely a go to for lunch (try the roast chicken sandwich or khoresh-e fesenjān). Their weekend brunch has a great energy and is my favourite spot to share a plate of pancakes. A+ staff :)

Blown away at how tasty the food is here. The service is also exceptional! I love that the salad changes each week so there’s always something new and exciting to look forward to

If you're looking for a unique brunch experience in town, Rocket + Basil should be at the top of your list. Inspired by Persian cuisine, this cozy café offers delicious, high-quality, and fresh dishes that are rich in flavor. The atmosphere is inviting and lively, with friendly and efficient staff who are always happy to assist. The café can get quite busy, so be prepared to wait for a table. While you wait, you can sit outside and enjoy a drink, which is a nice touch. Once inside, the space is a bit cramped, but the light colored interior make up for it. The café also offers a nice selection of beverages, including coffee, tea, and their cardamom hot chocolate, which is definitely worth trying. We tried the Tahini Halva Brownie and the Toasted Cheese Sandwich, seasonal salad. Both were excellent—rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The food is fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented, with the café offering a nice selection of vegan options. However, there is one small downside: the large pile of rucola on top of the sandwich was a bit too much for my taste. It overshadowed the rest of the dish, but that’s just a minor issue in an otherwise fantastic meal. Overall, Rocket + Basil offers a memorable experience with delicious and creative food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend it for anyone craving a fresh, high-quality brunch with nice vegetarian and vegan choices.

I hit this place for lunch as I picked it from an instagram post on best restaurants in Berlin. To me two things stood out: the efficient, sweet and hardworking staff and the freshness of the food. The dish I ordered was generously covered with rocket leaves. I guess that is to go by the name of the place. The food tasted very fresh. The blood orange cake I ordered was quite crumbly. Overall, taste of the food is average. The restaurant makes an impression of a spacious place due to wall colours and seating arrangements. Quite nice.

I had a salad with chicken on top. The ingredients are really nice and fresh, so the food would be great if it wasn't so cold - it felt like the chicken was just taken out of the fridge before it went to the plate. The place itself is also quite cold because people constantly go in and out the door, so I probably wouldn't come back until summer.

The halva brownie is enough to bring me back. I had the beans on toast as well, and it was good-- difficult to figure out how to eat, but the flavor was unique and delicious.

Loved the service. Two sweet ladies. The price value could be better. 25€ for two dishes seemed a lot for us. The dishes were tasty and thoughtful but not specially outstanding. We'd not come back as there are better healthy alternatives and cheaper options. The summer roll is a bit sweet. The salad had way too much chickpeas. It was purely zucchini chickpeas and a bit of salad.

Delicious food with vibrant colors and a creative Middle-Eastern twist. The fresh-pressed orange juice came in an adorable little jug. Breakfast, lunch, coffee and desserts. Self-serve water!
