Shiloh Cafe Bistro
Located in Berlin’s city center on the trendy Torstrasse, Shiloh’s Cafe Bistro serves up vegan, kosher Israeli dishes in a casual setting with catering services also available. One woman, the restaurant’s owner, cooks up generous portions of home-style Mediterranean and Middle Eastern favorites like shakshuka, falafel, hummus, spicy lentil soup, and freshly baked pita.

The cozy atmosphere makes diners feel like they’re enjoying a delicious meal cooked in someone’s home. Shiloh opens just in time for lunch and continues to serve until 21:00. This small cafe has limited seating and guests should expect leisurely, laid-back service. The restaurant doesn’t accept card payments so make sure to bring cash along. The Shiloh Cafe Bistro started out as a kosher catering company before finding its way onto Torstrasse. Originally from Jerusalem, the restaurant’s owner, Keren, has lived in Berlin since 2007. From behind the kitchen, she prepares all of the restaurant’s authentic, Israeli dishes herself.
Yafo in Berlin
Along with countless other delicious restaurants based in Berlin’s trendy Mitte district, Yafo Berlin has made some impressive waves since its opening just one year ago. While the interiors are seemingly bare at first glance, it is the lively owners, music, diners, and of course delicious food that create the energy of this hot spot. Most of the dishes on the menu are vegetarian Middle Eastern bites you would catch back home such as oven-roasted cauliflower, matbucha, date honey and mahalabiya.
If you’re in the mood for an authentic meal and experience, this is the place to go! Be sure to call for a reservation during winter months, as it fills up fast without extra outdoor seating. The restaurant’s fitting name was inspired by the co-owners, Israeli-born Shani Ahiel and Berlin-based Felix Offermann. Once they moved back to Berlin after meeting each other in Tel Aviv, the two decided to bring the Israeli way of life – and food – to Berlin’s bustling gastronomic scene.
Beth Café
The Beth Cafe on Tucholskystraße was one of the first Jewish establishments to be built by the Jewish Congregation Adass Yisroel after the reunification of Berlin. The Cafe specializes in Israeli and Jewish foods such as hummus, matzah dumplings, falafel, bagels, and knishes. It also serves delicious hot coffee, tea, and a selection of Wines. All the food is Kosher and under the auspices of the Adass Congregation. Beth Cafe is a non-profit cultural institution and an integral part of the Adass Congregation. The photos on display in the Beth Café are part of a larger photography exhibition by the Berlin photographer, Steffen Jasnowski. The photo exhibition focuses on the City of Jerusalem, man’s connection with God, and the Western Wall.
