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!

Delicious brunch - Edit
After ordering dinner from them multiple times, we finally visited to enjoy the brunch menu. The Tortilla Fold and the pancakes were really good, the atmosphere is cozy, and the service super nice. Very much recommended!

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).

One of my top 10 restaurants - Edit
We had such a lovely time at Dervish. Cozy interior, super friendly staff, and the food - oh my!! The qutab (filled flatbread) was delicious, I could easily have eaten ten of those. For my main I had fried "dumplings" filled with pumpkin, they were so so good: Crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside.
Read moreSince I don't drink alcohol we had a big jug of freshly made juice, can recommend it! It was not too sweet and matched well with the food. The desserts were also great.
Make sure you have cash. But if you forget, the cash machine is right outside. This is easily One of my top 10 restaurants ever. I highly recommend a visit!
Cons: Cash only

The place has a very cozy atmosphere. The food was fresh and tasty but a bit on the pricier side for the portion size.

Amazing food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff - Edit
We had a great evening here! The food was new to us and delishes. We really liked the kofta! Service was friendly and fast and the value was good too. We could even fit a dessert, a multi layered puff pastry. What a delight! I'd always go back here!

Incredible vegan food! - Edit
I went to Dervish with some friends for lunch, and we were given a table in a section where you take off your shows and sit on comfy pillows on a beautiful rug. The menu was full of really delicious-sounding food, and we (and our taste-buds) were not disappointed when it all arrived. The environment is very comfy, and with intricate, tasteful decor. At one point the waiter couldn't help himself, and started joining in on our somewhat political conversation. He said that he was from Ukrain, and that the owners had a yoga studio, where he and other staff were recruited to work at the restaurant. He said he really liked working there. And it shows. Same for the other staff.
Read moreI went back again for dinner a few weeks later with another group of friends, and had an equally good experience.
Highly recommended.
Pros: comfy, with pretty decor, very tasty vegan food, warm and friendly staff

Feeling at home in an instant - Edit
At Dervish, you can get veganized Uzbek cuisine, which is clearly home-cooked and handmade.
Read moreFor me, experiencing the food here was very interesting. There are different dishes featuring dumplings, noodles, potatoes, beans and vegetables.
I particularly love the comfy and relaxed vibe of the restaurant inside. There is regular chair seating as well as seating on the floor on carpets. The walls are decorated with colorful tapestry and paintings.
The location is kids-friendly, offering even a kid's menu. In addition to that, dogs are allowed inside, too. Overall, a very welcoming spot with home-cooked foods. #Veganuary
Pros: Taste ok, Comfy cozy vibe

I'm surprised the place was almost empty - Edit
I love the concept of sitting directly on your [censored] on the floor/mat/cusion! Me and my friend shared a meal with different kind of foods. It was very tasty! The atmosphere is very cosy and it was suitable music as well

Diverse choices, good for sharing - Edit
Edit 6 Dec: stopped in tonight for dinner and was very disappointed by the food. I don't know what happened since the last time but the quality is pretty dang poor. The langman was sad, no flavor, the dumpling plate was also totally lacking in flavor and the flatbread was not fresh at all.
Read more---
There are quite a few choices on the menu and ways you can order. Many of the dishes can be ordered in small/side versions to share, there are mixed sampler plates, and large/main sized versions of the dishes.
I didn't love the kofta, I found them to be quite dry, but everything else was tasty. We had the fried dumplings but would recommend the boiled or steamed. The tiramisu is delicious so leave room for dessert.
Prices a little high by Berlin standards.

Fun experience with outstanding meal - Edit
First of all - at least on the weekends - I’d advised to reserve a table. Added bonus: you can request to sit „on the floor“. Shoes off you can sit on an elevated platform with comfy cushions at a low table. The Uzbeki dishes taste great, the hummus was to die for.

Yum yum yum! - Edit
I wanted to try something different and went to Dervish. It’s very cute and the food is very yummy! I had the Kofta Plate but it was super hard to decide! Better go here with many friends and share different things!😄
Read moreI was here at 7:30pm on a Friday night and it was full (reservation highly recommended) and had to wait over 45min for my food. So just take some time..

Leckeres Essen in gemütlicher Atmosphäre - Edit
Ein wirklich gemütlich eingerichtetes Lokal mit freundlichem Personal. Das Essen ist wirklich mal etwas anderes und wirklich lecker. Auch mussten wir nicht lange warten, bis wir unser Essen bekommen haben. Die Portionsgrößen sind wirklich fair zu den Preisen, man wird auf jeden Fall satt! Wir haben es sehr genossen, hier zu essen. Klare Empfehlung!

A wonderful atmosphere but slightly disappointing food - Edit
For the taste of the food alone, I would give it a 3. However, the restaurant is a wonderful and cozy space with beautiful decorations and a lovely ambience. We sat on cushions on the floor to eat our meal. In addition, the platter for four people that we ordered was so big - there was so much food included with a lot of variety!! For those reasons, I'll rate the entire experience a 4.
Read moreConsidering how beautiful everything looked though, it was blander than I expected. A pity, because a vegan Uzbek restaurant is definitely unique!

Interesting and delicious food - Edit
We've never had this type of food before, so it was nice trying something new. We liked the fact that sets are offered on the menu so customers have a chance to try a variety of the food without having to order several large dishes. This worked great for us as we shared a Manti Set and a Kofta Set along with an order of the Qutab. We enjoyed all of the food in the sets, but we wished the plates were a little wider! It was difficult to maneuver because some of the food was piled high. We also ordered a pitcher of the Fruberries Lemonade which was very refreshing.
Read moreWe were given the lunch menus when we arrived for dinner as I think those may have been the only ones available in English. We only knew about the pitchers of Lemonade because we also checked the online menu.
Pros: Delicious food, "Sets" available which were essentially samplers, Friendly and knowledgable staff

Interesting and tasty - Edit
Such a nice place! The dishes and flavours were familiar (Levantine/middle eastern-like) yet different, it all tasted fresh and portions were big. Only the Non bread was a bit disappointing (it comes standard in the meal sets). Loved the fried Barak. Although we ate outside, the interior looked lovely. They don't serve alcohol, which is absolutely fine by me but handy to know perhaps.
