Went here for brunch and it was exactly what I needed: savory and wholesome yet healthy!

Very good food and nice restaurant with nice staff - Edit
The food was taste and the staff was very friendly. The restaurant is located in a nice part of the city and you can get there easily by metro or bus and a little walk through a cute city part. The restaurant is also nicely decorated.
Read moreYou can only pay with cash BUT there is an ATM literally next to the door so that is not a problem.
All food is vegan and they also have very good vegan desserts (which is rare).
We were served very quickly!
Pros: Tasty food and dessert, Nice staff, Nice restaurant place and decorations

Absolutely incredible vegan Uzbek food 🌿🇺🇿 - Edit
This place is so delicious — I’ve never come across a fully vegan Uzbek restaurant before, and it completely blew me away. We literally ordered almost the entire menu, and every single dish was flavorful, unique, and beautifully prepared. The portions were generous, the presentation was stunning, and the spices were perfectly balanced. It’s rare to find a restaurant that’s both creative and comforting at the same time, but Dervish absolutely nails it. We left completely full and happy. I would 100% come back if I’m ever in the area again — such a gem!

Delicious, but expensive - Edit
We were there only for dessert and it was really amazing. They seem to have an amazing vegan menu, but sadly I wasn't able to try it out yet, since the prices are expensive.

Wonderful Uzbek menu, all vegan - Edit
The food was delicious; I visited Uzbekistan last year and struggled to find anything without animal products, so being able to enjoy authentic Uzbek vegan food was fantastic!

Wonderful & extraordinary - Edit
Don't get me wrong: I'm happy that there are so many veg* places in Berlin - however, many are of similar cuisine. Thus, I was happy to randomly discover Dervish - I've never come across Uzbek food and wouldn't have expected there to be vegan places to try it.
Read moreLong story short: I highly recommend coming here!
The food is great,
Extraordinary and tasty,
The service nice,
And the interior beautiful and cozy!
Pros: Extraordinary cuisine, All vegan, all tasty, Nice staff and cozy place

Delicious - Edit
The interior is very cosy and the service is friendly.
Read moreThere are not many options on the menu but enough to find something suitable.
We had ayran and mango lassi to drink, especially the mango lassi tasted well.
We got a potato manti and two potato qutab as appetisers, and a dervish set as a main dish. This was enough to be shared amongst three.
The manti tasted alright and the qutab were very delicious.
The tofu in the dervish soup in particular had a great texture and taste to it.

Very different - Edit
I’ve never had Uzbek food before. We had the stuffed flatbreads, Dervish stew and four sauces with mixed veg. It was very nice. Cash only.

Super delicious - Edit
Highly recommend to have the Qutab Plate. I could live with the cheese side of the bread. Once I asked them to make the whole bread with just cheese! So good. Also, the tiramisu is one of the best vegan desserts I ever had.

Vegan Pina Colada - Edit
We had the pumpkin filled Manti, Kofta, Somsa plate, Pina Colada, Lagman and Forish. Everything was good, we especially liked the Kofta. There were multiple tables where you can only sit on the ground and eat without shoes. The other tables were normal, you can keep your shoes on, but the benches were too high compared to the height of the table, which made it a bit uncomfortable to sit. In general the seating felt a bit too squeezed.
Read morePros: Friendly service, Interesting food, Interesting interior
Cons: Seating uncomfortable

Must-try vegan sattvic food! - Edit
We spontaneously decided to try this restaurant and were so glad we did. The vegan, sattvic food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was super friendly. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with culturally inspired music and a cozy interior. There’s even the option to sit on cushions at low tables on the floor, which adds to the unique experience. It was quite busy, so a reservation is recommended. We’ll definitely come back!
Read morePros: Very friendly staff, Extremely tasty food, Great atmosphere
Cons: Gets quite crowded, Cash only

Hervorragender Geschmack - Edit
Wir gehen hier immer sehr gerne hin, weil es hervorragend schmeckt und die usbekischen Gerichte einmalig sind. Das Essen schmeckt intensiv obwohl in der sattvischen Küche nur gewisse Gewürze und Zutaten verwendet werden dürfen. Nach dem Essen fühlt man sich immer gleich besser. Im Dervish kann man es sich sogar auf Teppichen gemütlich machen. Einziges Manko ist dass man nicht mit Karte bezahlen kann.
Read morePros: toller Geschmack, sehr gemütlich, tolle Bedienung
Cons: nur Bargeldzahlung, recht kostspielig

Incredibly Berlin and incredibly delicious! - Edit
Where else would you find a vegan Uzbeki restaurant?
Read moreSuper friendly staff and super delicious food - the first time I visited, we shared all of the starters to be able to try everything, wonderful decision. The second time we had the Malhalla 4 person sharing and we kept being brought more dishes that weren't included! Such interesting flavours you don't normally get, a must-visit restaurant for vegans in Berlin. A bit pricey but worth it!
Note: no alcohol and cash only.

Unique and Tasty! - Edit
It's not common you run across vegan Uzbekistan cuisine, so I don't have a lot of comparison, but all of my experiences at Dervish have been excellent. The dishes and flavors are really unique and while I'm often not exactly sure what I'm ordering, I've never been disappointed with anything. Staff is extremely friendly but sometimes the English can be limited (if that matters).
