Really amazing!! Despite not having a reservation we still got a table. It is a really cozy place! The atmosphere is great and lovely.
The service is absolutely friendly and it didn't take long until we got our food.
The menu itself is a bit pricy but nonetheless it is absolutely worth it!! -

Awesome food, I drive long distances to eat here. My favorites are the meat balls and falafel. Their spiced tea is very tasty and I go for it even when it's 35°C outside. Very friendly staff, the men may not be that smiley but they are extremely polite and they sure know their work.
The beverages as well as the food have gotten a bit expensive in the last few years though, the portions on the other hand have gotten smaller. Also, after what I know from traveling and my friend who is an Arabic-speaking Middle East expert, it's a bit hard to really call it "Moroccan" though.
Sometimes too crowded and it can get loud at times, up to the point that it can be harmful to health. The place seems to be very popular among American tourists. Once we found ourselves sitting between three or four groups of Americans and for the next few days I couldn't for the life of me get rid of that nasal sound out of my head, my friends had reported the same discomfort plus one of my friends reported blood coming out of her ears, and I'm not sure she was being sarcastic. -

Been one of my favorite places, since they raise the prices to ridiculous range I don't go, esp. the drinks. They got no idea concerning allergies and so on.

At first glance Baraka seems to be an amalgamation of Moroccan, Egyptian and Arabian food. But when your entree comes, only one word can describe their cuisine: delicious.
It was a warm night so we opted to sit outside. A thirst quenching limeade and a creamy mango lassi prepared our taste buds for what was to come. A bowl of Harira, a traditional soup served during Ramadan, balances the mix of lentils, chickpeas, tomatoes and herbs. A little bit of lemon juice brings out the fresh flavors and the endless basket of Khobz is there to sop up the remainders.
Portion size is a great value for your money! The mix plate of grilled chicken, hummus, tabouleh, baba ghanoush and a small salad is what your body needs after an afternoon of errands in the city. My tajine was highly satisfying with tender chicken thighs simmered in tomatoes, olives, spices and lemon. I ate it all with gusto and licked my plate (and his!) clean.
Friendly service is apparently a rarity in Berlin, but that wasn't the case with our waitress. Smiling, attentive and pleasant.
We'll make Baraka our regular stop every time we're here. -

I give this 4 stars because the service was really good and fast and also because I don't really know what Moroccan food is supposed to taste like -- but I should say that the vegetarian dishes were extremely bland which made me wonder if this is just toned way down for German non-adventurous palettes. That cinnamon rose water tea is dope though!
