Bad experience; the food does not taste authentic at all. As an Egyptian I know how koshary, hawawshy and kebda taste like, let me tell you this is not it. The koshary was very bland and the „big“ plate was really small! … More

Went here with high expectations due to the good ratings but was unfortunately disappointed.
The koshsary was very underwhelming with overcooked pasta and watery tomato sauce.
We liked the Egyptian falafel called ta'ameya a lot but everything else was very average, including the salad and hummus.
They also ran out of tabouleh and explained that we can't order a portion seperately and the one which came with our plate was put on top of lettuce leaves to make it appear like more.
They also ran out of ketchup for our fries, so we got a small squeeze only on the side.
And our food was not hot once we got it.
The service was friendly but slow and only cash payment is possible.
We sat outside at cozy looking tables but realized upon inspecting the cloths that they are very dirty with crusty food on it - probably not cleaned in a while.
Overall underwhelming experience and I think any of the neighboring restaurants would have been a better option.

Nice Egyptian restaurant. We had a nice and tasty lunch. We tried a few meals and everything was good, the fava beans falafel were very good, better than the usual ones. The service is very friendly, it's a super kind family business. Surely I'll visit the place again. More

Today I visited an Egyptian restaurant in Berlin. I had been craving authentic Egyptian food for a long time, and luckily I found a place close to the hotel where I am staying called Meya Meya.
The owner is Egyptian, his name is Mina, and he is also the chef. I had authentic Egyptian koshari, as well as a mixed plate of falafel, fava beans, eggplant, French fries, and fresh green salad with tahini. The food was absolutely delicious and tasted just like homemade Egyptian food.
The restaurant’s decor is simple with a lovely Egyptian touch. Most of the guests were German, which shows how much the food is appreciated by everyone. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and cleanliness, which were both excellent.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is craving authentic Egyptian cuisine. Thank you very much to the owner and chef Mina and his wife. I wish them continued success and prosperity.

Delicious, indeed authentic, very clean place, friendly, welcoming and accommodating hosts. Taste felt homemade and authentic, but elevated and appropriate for restaurant. The portion size of Kusheri was great. The original Kusheri tasted wonderful, and the new Kusheri dish with the twist with shawarma on top was also just great.

From an Egyptian living in Berlin, and after trying many Koshari plates all around Berlin, Meya Meya wins the best authentic Koshari taste... the owenrs of the place are very cheerful and welcoming and they run the place themselves, keeping the service at its best.

Good quality Koschere and fresh meat ! Would have been better if some extra sauce have been provided because it felt little dry once the sauce was finished.. but its my taste! Owner is sweet, staff is humble and polite .. good hospitality.. worth a try!
