I've eaten in a few ethiopian restaurants before. Both here in Berlin and in Sweden. This was by far the best one, the food is great and you get a really big portion for 10€ each if you choose the mixed plate. The staff was very nice and spoke English very well. Concerning the man mentioning the prostitutes on a... More

I've eaten Ethiopian in a few east coast U.S. cities and always enjoyed it so, when I saw all the rave reviews on here I figured I had to go. We took the U-Bahn to Nollendorfplatz and started walking over to the restaurant. I was surprised to see a prostitute already on the corner gearing up for a cold evening.... More

Eating with the hands is indeed fun! The food was tasty, spicy, interesting, with meat, veggies and linsen. One of the best places for eating in Berlin. The personal was very kind. The honey wine is good and the coffee ceremony ist very beautiful. Getting somehow near to Etiopia in Berlin!

My review comes a bit late but the memory is still vivid as I was thinking of my best food experiences. Bejte is not for the weak hearted and Ethiopian food is delicious but very different. We had a huge platter with a variety of flavors we got to eat using our hands and a wonderful -not baked- pie. We... More

I have dined out in Berlin many many times and I have to say this is one of best places I have eaten in. It’s not glamorous by any means but the food is really good and service is very friendly.

If you get tired of sausages and pork and you still love Berlin, you really ought to try something different. We first experienced Ethiopian in Cape Town and judged by that experience, Bejte is as authentic as they come. You get to eat by your hands and the flavors are just overwhelmingly delicious. If you are lucky, you can witness... More

We wanted to go here after reading very good reviews but were a bit dissapointed. The food was interesting but not that special. I don't know if it was the fact that we spoke english, or the waiter just being slow but it took them about an hour to get us a tiny cup of coffee. I ordered tea(!!) and... More

We visited during a short trip to Berlin and enjoyed both the experience and the food. Having never had Ethiopian food before we were a bit apprehensive. The staff in the restaurant are exceptionally friendly and took time to explain the menu and made us feel at ease. We ordered the shared meat and veg platter which consisted of sourdough... More

Banana beer, honeywine, new spices and complete meal eaten with your hands...what a great place for a new experience. I stongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes a little adventure. This place is different, if you arrive during the coffee ceremony you will have the whole place smelling like smoked coffee beans for example, be prepared for something unique.... More
