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.

Tasty Food - Edit
We tried the manti set and gulas. Especially mantı was very delicious. They also serve ayran. A drink made our of yogurt. It was also good. A bit pricy but good. There are usual tables but if you wish you may choose a more traditional seatings after removing your shoes.

Super delicious food and the best vegan Dessert - Edit
I was overwhelmed of the taste of the köfte! The flavors of the karak and the different pickled veggies was amazing! But the best way to finish such a great meal was choosing the baclava-cheesecake and the vegamisu! Absolute bangers!!

Delicious vegan Uzbek cuisine - Edit
A great restaurant, never having tried Uzbek cuisine before, it was nice to know that everything on the menu was suitable for vegetarians and Vegans. The staff were very friendly and made me feel at home.
Read moreI had the “kofta set”, which consisted of 2 kofta kabob, spiced potatoes, a non bread, pickles, chaku sauce, bodimjon and fried spinach bakak. I also had a chai latte.
Everything was delicious and there was a good amount of food. Everything was clean and homely.
There are lots of vegan restaurants and even a vegan supermarket nearby, which is great.
Near the M10 tram route.
Pros: Chai latte, Korta kabob, Fried potatoes

Super interesting flavours - Edit
The most interesting meal we found in the area. Uzbek cuisine is new to me - the dumplings, koftas and accompaniments were the most memorable dishes and flavours of our trip. The restaurant has a lovely interior. Glad we came across this lovely spot.

definitely unique - Edit
Dervish offers traditional dishes from Uzbekistan veganized.
Read moreVery interesting, as I have never been to a similar spot before.
The dishes remind me of russian cuisine with Mediterranean influences.
Options are for example okroshka, a cold kefir-soup with potato pieces and dill or an eggplant soy-chunk goulash.
Spices I recognized also take place in oriental / Arabic dishes (e.g. sumach).
This mix was pretty special.
Our favorite was the goulash - go and get it with some traditional bread to dip in!
Pros: staff was very friendly

The waiter told us a lot about his Uzbek culture and food. His wife runs the kitchen and she did such a great job. I never tasted something this extraordinary in my life. 10/10 would recommend and I'll definitely come again.

Yum - Edit
Really pleased with the service, food came quickly and was thoroughly enjoyed. The atmosphere inside was quiet and peaceful, would recommend the floor seating. Ordered : kofta Set, Manti side, the vegamisu, mango lasi and the iced matcha.
Read moreHappy with every item ordered, and would be keen to go back and try more. In the set there were a few fried barak and those really won me over so that's a recommendation for sure.
Set , side , and a dessert to share was honestly a good amount of food between the two of us

Unique! - Edit
What a treat! Vegan Uzbek! There are many, many places to choose from in this neighbourhood but I'd say this should be top 3 places you should go. The food was great and beautifully presented, there was cook music playing - presumably Uzbek folk, you can sit on the floor or at a standard table.
Read morePros: Lots of exciting choice in the menu, The ambiance - decor, music, vibe

Good food but terrible service - Edit
The dervish goulash is very good, especially with the chili sauce, but we waited over an hour for our food. People who ordered much later than us got their food at the same time as we did. We also tried the manti, but they weren’t as savory as I thought they would be.
Read morePros: The goulash and chili sauce is great
Cons: Food took way to long

Original and wholesome food near Boxi - Edit
Dervish serves up vegan Sattvic Uzbek food - a delicious mix of filled flat breads, dumplings, soups, salads, and stewed vegetable dishes. There are some dishes with faux meats too. The range of sizes and options means that there is something for everyone - whether you're ravenous or just after a small bite, tea or a mocktail, a hearty stew or a light small salad. The staff are very friendly and committed to their ideals, and the space is wonderfully decorated with options to sit on the floor too, with moody lighting and a warm ambience. The location is right next to Boxi and offers a nice alternative to the huge amount of burger and East/Southeast Asian options in the area.

The real deal - Edit
This place is run by a vegan family from Uzbekistan. The restaurant is decorated lovingly with a lot of detail. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. You can sit on traditional floor cushions or on chairs and tables.
Read moreThe food is super fresh, with lots of interesting dishes to choose from. We got a variety of dishes and everything was very tasty. We were super full but stuffed in some desert anyway which were super nice also.
We will definitely return before our Berlin holiday ends.
Make sure you try the Dervish tea with your food.
Pros: Fresh tasty food, Relaxed atmosphere, Unique and authentic
