Don’t go here - Edit
Didn’t seem to respect vegans, was given meat at first before complaining, staff didn’t care. I went 3 months ago so it could’ve changed, but I doubt that

THREATENED WITH VIOLENCE BY THE MANAGER - Edit
***THREATENED WITH VIOLENCE BY THE MANAGER*** - We ordered two burgers, both were terrible.
Read moreMy mate still ate his, I did not eat mine. When I went to pay, I said I would only like pay for the burger we ate and could he take mine off the bill, in a respectful, but firm manner. The staff member refused, and immediately reacted with "we'll call the police if you don't pay the whole bill" before I could say anything else. I protested as it was a terrible burger (ordinary meat, more sauce & cooking oil than actual burger, and a salad that was scorched into soggy oblivion).
The manager was then called over. I explained the situation to him, but he told me I ate it, so I have to pay for it. He said just don't come back if I don't like it, but I have to pay. This turned into a back and forth, and became heated, eventually, I was getting nowhere.
Then the manager leaned in closer to me, and said, "I will take you out the back to sort this out and we'll f*** you up if you do not pay".
At this point, now with 4 of them standing closely around me, I paid with my card, and we immediately left.
I feel violated & intimidated by their macho, violent attitude, and totally robbed of €35 for 2 terrible, terrible burgers.
NEVER, EVER GO HERE - UTTERLY DISGUSTING FILTH OF HUMAN BEINGS.
I only wish I had my phone on me to photograph the food and record that conversation.
Cons: Threat of Violence, Terrible Food, Very Expensive for what it is

Bad service lame food - Edit
While I think it’s cool that they have vegan options everywhere including dessert the food isn’t that great. The menu looks way more confusing now than what’s online and the food is expensive. Not only was my burger basic and expensive but the staff was also rather rude and we had to wait over AN HOUR AND A HALF for our food.

Deliciously unhealthy - Edit
There are so many vegan options here which is great. The menu is almost overwhelming! I got the JFK burger with the seitan patty and added vegan Mac n cheese. It was very rich and a lot of food. The seitan was fried up and yummy. There was too much of the mayo sauce on the burger: next time I’d order without it. We didn’t get any sides-the burger was plenty! Good service and they were happy to translate the menu to English for us.

A lot of choices - Edit
3 parts for the menu, one with meat, one veggie and one vegan ! Many choices of burgers (careful, they're very big !). We had a very kind waiter who's explained us every ingredient we weren't able to understand (the menu is in german only). If you come after 10 pm, you can have 2 identical cocktails instead of one for the same price.

A let down - Edit
My bf and I were really looking forward to eating at Lily Burger. The restaurant was dead. The staff were kind of strange and didn't understand that not all beer is vegan. We ordered a basic burger to share, fries, and mozzarella sticks. We had to pay for ketchup! It was way too much food. I ate about two mozz sticks and some fries. The burger, in my opinion, was inedible. It was greasy and the seitan burger was bland. I couldn't stomach it. My bf ate it because we hadn't eaten in over 7 hours and went straight there from the airport. I don't understand all the hype. The food isn't very good. Its also very expensive.

I don‘t even know where to start - Edit
I went to this place with my boyfriend last weekend because of the massive vegan menu.
Read moreWe were seated at a table resembling a booth that had space for approx. 6 people and were joined by another couple. The fact that they don‘t have smaller tables kind of makes having a more private atmosphere impossible but that did not bother us. They do seem to forget or mix up orders because of this though (each group gets a pager that should prevent that from happening). You also don‘t have a designated waiter for your table but order your food at the front desk which makes everything less restaurant-like and more chaotic.
I had a vegan burger with cheese and a seitan patty and a side of curly fries. The burgers are not as massive in my opinion as I have read in some of the reviews, however combined with the rather large serving of fries it was definitely too much for me (sharing a side is probably a good idea). Another thing to account for is that the food is insanely oily and salty which I am not used to. The burger was literally cheese on top of a 3 cm thick onion ring on top of more cheese and an equally thick battered and deep fried patty slathered with what seemed like a cup of mayo. I was barely able to taste the components separately, even though I am definitely not afraid of using salt when cooking for myself. I am not used to such heavy food and could not move for the rest of the evening because I was so full.
Because my boyfriend’s burger arrived 10 minutes later than mine we were treated to free dessert (a vegan deep fried toffee bar with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and sprinkles) that they brought to the table when we were only halfway through with our burgers. It was a kind gesture, however it seemed a little ingenuine and almost like a practiced part of a routine. The waiter only hesitantly explained what it was for and also the timing was a little off (not to mention we could barely fit another course into our stomachs).
The check left us a little surprised because the dips for the fries were extra and we did not know that, we assumed it was included in the price for the sides (a hefty 2.50€ for bbq sauce that tasted pretty generic and 1.50€ for ketchup). The pricing of all the other stuff is okay I guess, especially given the large portions.
I would not come here again because the food is just not my cup of tea, but if you would like to experience the vegan version of a heart attack inducing meal, this is your place.

Great food - Edit
The food was really great. They had a vegan alternative for everything and it was very realistic. I had the John F Kennedy burger with some fries and vegan mayonaise. The mayonaise was too thin, but otherwise the food was great. The portion are a little on the big size (I am talking about the normal sized burgers), although that will probably make this plas attractive for a lot of people. The atmosphere is a little noisy, but it's something you get used too and it fits to the overall atmosphere. The only downside was that we had to wait one hour before the food arrived. We never got an explanation, but we are pretty sure something went wrong in the kitchen. Can't tell if it happens regularly or not, as it was a one time visit. But the waiting was totally worth it when the food arrived!

Really good place - Edit
Good place with friendly staff and amazing food! The overall setting was a bit too noisy but other than that it was a great experience. I went there two nights in a row during my stay and had the "John F Kennedy" and the "FBI New York" Burger on seitan patties. Really delicious!

Excellent vegan burgers - Edit
Special club-like atmosphere, with graffity at the walls and loud music. They offer a large choice of meat-based, vegetarian and vegan burgers, including weird offers like 1kg meat burgers. No matter whether you like this concept or not, the vegan burgers taste exceptionally good! Definitely one of the best vegan burgers, I have ever had. I can especially recommend for people who want to eat vegan but want a perfect fake taste of meat, bacon etc.

So realistic it's scary! 😌 - Edit
Ate here the other day and left feeling very strange! We got the Simpsons vegan burger with cheesey sweet potato fries and the taste was exactly how I remember meat being all them years ago which can be hit or miss depending on how you like that taste. Personally, the thought of meaty tastes puts me a little off so be wary of this. Regardless, if that's what this place was going for then they seasoned that seitan to perfection! 👌 We were so afraid that we were eating real meat and cheese that I must have bothered the staff at least 4 times confirming it was all okay!

Literally couldn't recommend enough!!! - Edit
Although I don't normally visit omni restaurant while I travel, I came across this one on facebook and couldnt pass it up. The menu is absolutely massive and the burgers range from €8 to €60 each!!! There are even sides like nuggets, curly fries etc etc. Honestly it was so amazing and all the meat options have a vegetarian OR vegan option!! Be careful as the menu is in german only though!

Although not entirely vegan, they have an entire menu filled with vegan choices. The restaurant itself was not really what you call a cozy place, but the staff was friendly and the food tasted like heaven. They've got great variety with different kinds of burgers even though it was a little expensive! 4/5 would eat again.

okay but bad service - Edit
There are weird veganised versions of American junk food here - deep fried snickers bars, burgers, sweet potato fries etc. But the place isn't very nice to be in, it gets busy, the staff are unfriendly and dismissive, and there is no tap water. I wouldn't really go back. It was expensive too for food that wasn't very high quality

Hell and Heaven at the same time - Edit
The vegan food is super delicious and probably the best vegan fast food in town. Still I am not 100% sure if they label the food honestly. Besides that the atmosphere is horrible. Its like eating in a mega techno club. Darkness, bright light spots, loud fast techno music and over ambitious hectic staff which confuses orders all the time. Its definately a experience, a very expensive experience also.

Varied Service - Edit
I visited Lily Burger twice and the first time was incredible. I split a burger with a friend (the portions are HUGE) and shared two deep fried vegan candy bars for dessert. They tasted incredible and if this was the only time I visited I would have definitely given it as close to a five star rating as happycow allows.
Read moreHowever, the second time I came was with my family and I wanted to show them how delicious vegan food could be. This time it was the evening and we were seated inside rather than the lovely outside seating I had the first time. The music is kinda loud inside and the lighting is very dark and dingy, which is a shame because in the daylight the food looked as amazing as it tasted.
We had an ambivalent waiter who basically told my mum what kind of meat she wanted. I remember him doing that to my friends the first night I visited. Friends wanted 'rare', he told them it's too undercooked and to go for 'medium rare' very matter-of-factly with no room to tell him that they definitely wanted what they wanted and my mum wanted 'well done' and again, he told her it's to chewy and to go for 'medium rare'. I know it's not exactly relevant to happycow but she was disappointed with the medium rare and wished she hadn't taken his advice. Personally I found it quite rude service.
So anyway, I was eating the burger (again, it tasted amazing but wayyyy too much to eat for one person) and remembered to leave room for those amazing deep fried candy bars. Unfortunately, when it came to ordering dessert they were all out of them. And the deep fried vegan ice cream, which was disappointing. Instead I tried the cake which was horrible compared to the rest of the menu. I was very disappointed and upset that my family hated their burgers because they weren't cooked the way they wanted and they were all out of vegan ice cream and the five variety of vegan candy bars (what are the chances?).
So overall, I'd make sure to sit outside, ask if they have the vegan candy bars before ordering anything, share a burger with a friend (unless you're a beast and think you can handle a whole one) and stay away from the blonde male waiter because he's awful.
Pros: Tasty burgers, Incredible deep fried candy bars
Cons: too noisy, too dark inside, rude waiter

Awesome! - Edit
We were staying near this restaurant and as it was freezing cold and we didn't want to travel far we reluctantly went in after reading some bad reviews.
Read moreCouldn't have had a more different experience. Beer good. Service good. Food gooooood.
Someone said it was expensive, I agree for a burger it is at the higher end particularly as you order your side separately, bit that means your fries are larger so I'd recommend 1 between 2.
I had the JFK burger which was cheese and bacon on a seitan burger. It was huge.
Oh and the music was loud but certainly not so loud that I couldn't have a good chat with my partner.
Pros: Big portions, Excellent choice of toppings

Huge burgers and superb service! - Edit
The title says it all. Not the cheapest place but I recommend to go there and experience it by yourself. The waiters are reeally nice and the WiFi works like a charm! Open now also Fri-Sat only from 12 to 12 and they close the kitchen earlier if there's no customers. They said they have delivery service too.

My fav vegan burger in Berlin - Edit
I just love that place. I had the BEST vegan burger in my life (already maybe 10 times). They have gluten-free bread but you might wanna check they still have it first, because once I ended up with toast bread and pay an extra euro for it which wasn't nice. BUT their falafel patties are simply awesome! So is the vegan cheese. It's totally with the price and this place is my top recommendation if you're a vegan gluten-free (or not) burger lover.

Great burgers but a bit loud - Edit
Whoever says the staff is not friendly just doesn't get the real Berlin style, this is not the USA, real Berliners have big mouths and are quite frank also in their sense of humor. Doesn't mean that they aren't nice, they always cared a lot for us just not with fake smiles.

Incredibly rude staff and wasn't able to eat - Edit
Personally, to anyone who has travelled far, I'd strongly recommend not to even bother with this place.
Read moreFamily and I had been walking all day to see the wonderful sights of Berlin, we're all from England and heard so much about Lily Burger as two of us are vegan and the rest eat meat. So we purposely went here for the options.
This place is tiny, like a small sweat box! Fits about thirty people tops, you need to book, which I have never been told by anyone who's been there. We were greeted by an incredibly rude man with a black short beard. His attitude absolutely stunk towards us when we ask if he could sit us, if not, how long. He didn't want to help or anything.
When I even asked about the vegan options, he didn't understand what I was asking considering their sign does say 'beef and vegan burgers'.
We thought if two of us cold stay the others could find someone else. My other half's mother ask for two, this man who 'greeted' us, not only continued to be rude, he constantly shouted "what" into her face, shaking his head and proceeded to laugh at us with some customers near by. Absolutely disgusting.
I will also add, from what I could see in this establishment is cross contamination would be an issue, there's blood everywhere from their meat, dripping onto the tables, I would not recommend this for anyone who is veggie or vegan.
I will finish to say that I'm amazed that this place is thriving considering how unwelcoming this person was. Not only the location is dark and dirty, so was his attitude.
Glad that we weren't seated as I dread to think what the overall service would have been.
Cons: rude staff, located in dark putrid area/street , cross contamination is highly likely
