Hi Veronika – We remember your visit. You stopped in and asked to charge your phone before considering the menu and ordering. You cleaned your plate so we are very surprised to hear you didn’t enjoy our food! We appreciate all the opinions expressed on HappyCow, however, we must object to some of the ideas you’ve put forth. Our café is based in cultural inclusivity, sustainability and the ethical treatment of animals and the environment. Like the food we serve, we have chosen to use organic materials to furnish our café. Our sustainably sourced woods and beautifully pigmented, handmade textiles reflect both our Senegalese heritage and a respect for plastic-free products. The combination of these elements creates an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation unique in Berlin. Also, the dish you’ve labelled as “weird” is called “yassa”. It is a traditional Senegalese recipe which takes 24 hours to prepare properly and is one of our most popular dishes. We add fresh vegetables, dressed very lightly in high quality, organic olive oil to brighten the dish and to compliment its robust flavors. Lastly, most of the pictures of our food are taken not by staff, but by happy patrons. The world is large and AtayaCaffe is dedicated to reflecting its natural beauty in our cuisine and aesthetic. We are sorry you were unable to appreciate this, and deeply grateful for the community of Berliners that can. Best, The Team @ AtayaCaffe
