Didn’t live up to the hype… - Edit
I booked this place in November for dinner and was so excited to try it—the reviews and ratings were stellar and the concept sounded so unique.
Read moreIt ended up being such a let-down. The menu was limited and the dishes were lesser than what I could make at home for a fraction of the price. I ordered the jollof rice and my partner, the gnocchi. Edible but disappointing.
The waitress was lovely and the hot chocolate was very good. Sadly, the meals just didn’t cut it for us.

Very nice place with good vegan food - Edit
A friend and I ate here for a late lunch, and enjoyed our food and our time hanging out and talking for three hours. The jazz playing in the background (Chet Baker, and that era) was at a good level for conversation. We both had the Gnocchi, which came with a salad and home-made bread, and we both loved it.

Sun. brunch: little food - Edit
Despite the quiet location and super friendly staff, I would not suggest the Sun. brunch.
Read more€16 for a small plate with basically only veggies and rice/pita. No protein whatsoever, nothing to fill you up with. And on Sun you can only get the ‘brunch dish’, so no way you can add something else, if still hungry.
I am a sporty person, so it may just be me... being quite hungry. But I left the place with my stomach empty and 16€ is way too much for the quantity (and type) of the food served.
Pros: 100% vegan, Friendly staff
Cons: Left hungry!!!, Not possible to add other dishes / food, Pricey

From 5 to 2 stars - Edit
Unfortunately I can not confirm my review made a few years ago: the food was tasteless , had no flavor whatsoever, it lacked spice and it is evident that the cook does not know what jollof is. The style of the restaurant have totally changed and many dishes are not available.
Read moreI will give 3 stars just not to damage the shop and because the girl was friendly but the rating is 2 stars.
Definitely five stars!!!
The atmosphere of the restaurant corresponds very well the style of food - fresh and healthy homemade style dishes with an amazing African/Mediterranean touch .(We had the breakfast plate)
Portions are huge. The plate is combined of different small vegan tapas , each of them has strong particular flavor, and everything is delicious.
I highly recommend the restaurant not only to vegans but to all food-lovers!
Amazing owners that put a lot love into the food.

Nice staff - Edit
The price was ok compared to the portion.
Read moreSmoothies and coffee was delicious, the food was ok. A bit underwhelming, I expected something different that I wouldn’t usually prepare myself at home. After reading some many reviews I kind of expected something more.
I tried the jollof dish, the rice was not spicy. I don’t know if the food should’ve been cold, but it was.
My boyfriend ordered gnocchi, but got the hummus and avocado plate didn’t bother to tell them about the mistake 😅. It was nice but nothing exceptional.

Cozy place with nice food - Edit
A cozy place serving African and Italian dishes. I had the jollof bowl, which included plantain chips with interesting salsa and numerous sides. Very flavorful. I also ordered a croissant and an espresso. The croissant was fine but a little bit too greasy and the espresso could have been stronger.
Read moreThe staff was very nice and friendly.

Disappointing - Edit
The place is often described as the best vegan place in Berlin but unfortunately we were disappointed. We had lunch there, tried two different lunch options but they were nothing special. I liked the plantain chips and red salsa from the Jollof Bowl, the rest was just average. The Ashanti was a strange combination - peanut butter stew with potatoes and rice on the side.
Read moreWe really wanted to try their tiramisu cake as it looked delicious in the photos online but sadly it was unavailable.

So so sad !! No amazing food anymore - Edit
I went back to this place after a year and found it no longer as it was.
Read moreas soon as the food arrived I immediately realized that it had not been prepared by the wonderful chefs, the Italian-African couple who own the place.
the food has become just a bad, even offensive interpretation of the original dishes created by the chefs.
shame as it was my favorite place in Berlin!!
I have still seen positive reviews on food and I don't know how that is possible.
perhaps because they never tasted food cooked until a year ago!

Pros: Vegan

Love! - Edit
This was my first vegan food stop while visiting Berlin. I didn’t realize they only had brunch on Sundays but luckily they had a delicious breakfast plate available. Their coffee was also delicious (I would frequent this pace just for the coffee).

Sunday brunch - Edit
Die Bedienung ist super und auch die Lage ist sehr gut, aber leider ist der Sunday Brunch nicht mehr so wie er einmal war. Man bekommt nur noch einen geoßen Teller, aber eine nicht wirklich große Portion für 15 Euro und viele Sachen die ich gerne warm gegessen hätte waren leider kalt..

Not less than five stars - Edit
The place is fully vegan.
Read moreThe combination (african-italian) is really exotic and combines flavors to unique and unbelievably light and delicious meals. It's healthy as well with many veggies!
The menu is very minimalistic, I love it! The location is small and fancy. The staff was very friendly and took care of my peanut allergy.
I will come back!

Is Not Afro-Italian anymore! - Edit
This place should change the information on every platform because they are misleading: the food has nothing more than Italian or African, the style is confused, now they offer Korean cuisine.
Read morePlease! it is not honest to leave dishes that are not offered anymore, such as ravioli, Pasta dishes etc.
this place has changed owners and is not what it used to be.
The portions are smaller and the food it’s nothing special anymore.
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR INFOS!

Sunday brunch - Edit
Sunday brunch is amazing, you get a big plate with wide selection of meals including hummus, pasta, salad, cous cous, lots of veggies etc. and tiranisu. I really recommend visitng Ataya but better book a table for the brunch. We visit this place every time we are in Berlin

Unique food experience! - Edit
I went to Ataya for brunch because I had read online that it's one of THE places to go for vegan brunch in Berlin. It took me a while to get there, but it was worth it! Unfortunately, they didn't have a buffet due to Covid regulations (that might have changed in the meantime, I don't know). But I got a big plate of savoury food - and dessert afterwards! The food was a unique combination, unlike anything I had had before! I hope they go back to brunch buffet - I imagine that to be an even better experience!

Just perfect - Edit
Went there a couple of days ago with a friend, who was visiting me in Berlin. She cannot eat paprika, so we asked if theres any of it in the dish she planned on ordering and they took the inquiry very seriously and explained how they handle it in the kitchen and they even told us exactly where there could be traces of it in my dish if my friend were to taste something of my plate, very thoughtful.
Read moreThe food is extremely delicious (whoever works in the kitchen is really experienced with combining complex flavour profiles to make it taste distinct and flavourful) and very fairly priced for the amount you get, we also each got a piece of cake afterwards, which my friend since then uses to hold other vegan desserts for comparism, cause she found it that fantastic! The atmosphere is very cosy and homey, the staff were great and we definitely plan on visiting again.
Pros: Incredible delicious, carefully assembled dishes, Relaxed, cosy atmosphere, Friendly and thoughtfull staff

Best Vegan Restaurant in Berlin - Edit
This is the best vegan food I've had in Berlin and one of my top restaurants period. They are limited menu items (I went on a Saturday), but everything I had was sooo good. They do accept visa payments. Brunch is only on Sundays FYI.
