Lecker, auch ohne Knoblauch und Zwiebeln - sattvic cuisin - Edit
Nach eigenen Angaben wird kein Knoblauch und keine Zwiebeln verwendet. Trotzdem entstehen würzige, teils scharfe Gerichte. Wir hatten u.a. den Salat mit Joghurtdressing, eine portion Rührtofu, eine kleine portion Dervish (eine Art Gulasch/Eintopf).
Read moreDer Salat beim Rührtofu war mit zu viel Essig. Das Vleisch im dervish hätte gewürzter sein können. Ansonsten gut. Wir hätten gerne noch einen der Nachtische probiert, leider kam die Bedienung aber nicht mehr, weshalb wir dann einfach bezahlten und gingen.
Toiletten sind unisex.
Pros: Küche ohne Knoblauch und Zwiebeln , Toiletten sind unisex., Alles vegan
Cons: Die Bedienung war leider sehr unmotiviert.

Spannende Küche mit tollen Gewürzen. - Edit
Super-freundlicher Empfang im tollen Ambiente. Liebevoll gestaltete Räume laden zum Eintauchen in die Usbekische Küche in der rein veganen Variante ein. Tolles Essen, kreativ umgesetzt. Die Familie ernährt sich vegan und hat es umgesetzt, die landestypische Küche vegan zu interpretieren. Toll!

Unique opportunity to experience vegan Uzbek cuisine - Edit
Dervish might be of the only one restaurants where you can enjoy Uzbek vegan cuisine, as from my experience travelling in Uzbekistan - vegan (or even vegetarian) food is difficult to come by. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, both set menus and smaller appetizers/starters. Unfortunately, we had to wait quite long for our food, but the waiter did offer us a (delicious!) tiramisu from the house to make up for it. The meal size is quite small, and relatively expensive.
Read morePros: Friendly service, Variety of dishes , Authentic decorated interior
Cons: Long waiting time for food (+ 40 minutes), Small portion sizes, Comparatively expensive

Dervish - Edit
Never been to an Uzbek restaurant before so it was super exciting to go there and experience the vibe! The interior was really cosy and they played what I guess was Uzbek traditional music which really gave the right vibe. Menu has just the right amount of dishes to choose from and we ended up having potato manti platter and the qutab platter with ayran to drink and we really liked everything. The manti and the qutab breads didn't have a lot of flavour which might be the only slightly negative feedback I have but the sauces were excellent and added a lot of flavour so we were really happy with the whole experience!
Read morePros: Lovely interior, Helpful staff, Good amount of items on the menu

Lecker und besonders - Edit
Ich gehe hier gerne hin, um eine Vorspeise (Dervish und Is-Brot) zu essen. Schmeckt mir einfach immer, macht satt und die Bedienung ist freundlich. Preise höher als man es sonst in Berlin gewohnt ist. Aber usbekische vegane Küche gibt's ja auch nicht so oft. 😊

Best Vegan Restaurant in Berlin. Cash only. - Edit
For me, it was by far the best restaurant experience in Berlin. The food, sourced from Uzbekistan, was absolutely incredible, good quantities at a reasonable price. I'll say it again about the dishes, which not only arrived at the table looking incredible, but were also super delicious. We found it to be the best vegan restaurant during our short stay in Berlin. The waiter was from Uzbekistan, extremely friendly and very reminiscent of Brazilians. From there I felt "at home". Payment by cash only.
Read morePara mim, foi disparada a melhor experiência de restaurante em Berlim. A comida, de origem do Uzbequistão, estava absolutamente incrível, boas quantidades com um preço compatível. Volto novamente a falar dos pratos, que além de chegarem na mesa com uma aparência incrível, estavam super deliciosos. Achamos disparado o melhor restaurante vegano durante nossa pequena estadia em Berlim. O atendente era do Uzbequistão, extremamente simpático e super amigável, lembrando muito o jeito de ser dos brasileiros. Daí me senti “em casa”. Pagamento somente em dinheiro.

A little bit hit and miss - Edit
This is a 3.5* for me. I considered giving it 4 because I've never seen a vegan Uzbek restaurant before. Some things were great but some things were not so exciting.
Read moreWe had a kofta to start. This was excellent, good savoury flavours and a nice rich tomato sauce. We then shared a manti (dumpling) plate and a flatbread plate.
We wanted the potato manti plate but they were short so we got some potato and some pumpkin steamed manti. They were good sized dumplings that were well filled. The potato ones were delicious, combined with some extra seasoning and aromatics. The pumpkin ones felt under seasoned and just tasted of pumpkin which was too sweet for me. This dish came with a pot of yogurt sauce with lots of salad bits in it. It was quite heavy on dill, which I enjoyed but my partner is not a big dill fan.
We also got a qutab plate (flatbread), which came with a bunch of different sauces. One flatbread was filled with spinach and was a little bit dull. The other was filled with potato and cheese, this was delicious. The sauces weren't particularly good. The hummus was a bit bland, there was a tomato/vegetable thing which was okay but not really bursting with flavour. The yoghurt dip was tasty and the same stuff that came with the manti (minus the vegetables) and finally there was a bit of a spicy/sweet dip that I quite enjoyed.
We also had mango lassis which were tasty.
A mixed bag but I would go back again and try a few more things.

Det bedste mad vi fik i Berlin - Edit
Vi var fire personer og bestilte den store fælles menu til 117 euro (mange mange retter til deling og en kande lemonade/saft med frugter og bær).
Read moreVi kunne sagtens have været seks personer om al den mad. De blev ved med at bringe mere mad ud til os. Utallige retter. Den ene mere lækker end den anden. Jeg ville ønske, at vi kunne spise mere og havde bedre tid...
Det er en god idé at bestille bord. Det havde vi ikke gjort. Vi kom dertil omkring 19.45 en søndag aften. Trætte og sultne. De havde ingen ledige borde, men vi besluttede os for at vente udenfor (som de tilbød). 20-25 minutter senere var der et bord ledigt til os. Det var ventetiden værd. Men spar dig selv besværet og bestil bord. Mange har opdaget denne perle.
Bare indretningen i sig selv er et besøg værd.
Det her sted bør alle madglade veganere besøge.

Vegan Uzbek dinner - Edit
I loved having the option to sit on cushions and take your shoes off to eat. It felt so cozy that I wanted to stay here forever. My favorite dish here was the kofta set. I recommend getting that one. My other favorite was the qutab plate, which is two stuffed flatbreads. One potato and one with greens.
Read moreMy least favorite dish was the dervish set, which was a stew of soy protein and potato. We also got the steamed pumpkin manti, which was good but a little bit bland. Maybe I should've just put way more sauce on it.
Regardless, the service is great, the restaurant is beautiful, and I really wish I had a restaurant like this where I live!

Amazing Vegan Menu - Edit
What a terrific place to explore a cuisine with the unusual and well adapted twist and security of an all vegan menu! The atmosphere and staff both great too. I really loved my Dervish Set and my "Tiramisu" (I have never yet found a really authentic replication of the dairy-containing original, but this is certainly one of the best vegan variations I've tried--and I enjoyed it very very much not comparing it so much to tiramisu but as an excellent dessert in itself).
