Defne Restaurant - Berlin

Dreadfully slow and rude service. also when booking they wait 15 minutes. when my friends who do not speak German asked English, they said: we are in Germany, should they speak German. in total we waited an hour before our dinner. eating is...not special, very expensive and definitiw not worth the waiting and humiliating experience.

We accidentally discovered defne when visiting admiral brucke on an evening. we are very happy. When we passed the restaurant, we looked so busy that we were as good sign of a table in demand and were happy to sit outside. the food was delicious from our common meze starter to our mixed grills (both meat and vegetarian options.) our waiter, which we consider to be the owner, was nice, friendly and helpful. he told us that the restaurant was almost 20 years old and with eating so well we could see why.

We were thrilled to find a Turkish restaurant that is not all about grilled food. we sat on the terrace and enjoyed the ambiente on a warm summer evening. Although they are not mentioned online, they have good weeping, and we drank a beautiful grayburgunder sold. of the karaffe. the mixed starters for two were excellent and sufficient for four people. for our main course we ordered: (1) imam bayildi, a famous and delicious vegetarian aubergine speciality. (2) The noble ali, obviously is a court, on which defne is proud, and too right. a combination of lamb strips with aubergine and yogurt. (3) spicy octopus. a cashrole that was too spicy for my friend, but I loved it, and the soße beat up with brot.

We ate here for the first time and will surely come back. the waiter was very friendly and helpful. we chose the mixed starter plate for 2 and the hackfleisch manti (small Turkish tortellini.) the mixed starter plate with 5 different pastes was very...tasteful the brot was fresh and all ingredients were high quality. the manti were amazing, and I would definitely order again. Additionally we had 3 beers and 0.75 l carafe white wine/sparkling watermix. the total invoice was €65. I would suggest making reservations for dinner as the veranda was filled with guests quite quickly. the only minus point is that the seat cushions can be renewed as they are really worn. other than that would recommend.

Good and fast service! Food was delicious and worth money. Vegetarian food was excellent experience. Autentic atmosphere was interesting and cosy. Nice location. Recommended.
