Restaurant Review:
Night Kitchen - Mediterranean Restaurant -Mitte (⭐5/5)
If you're in Berlin, this is a must-try place. Everyone I've talked to who has been there had a positive experience. You can choose to order à la carte or go for their 'Dinner with Friends' menu (€56-€70, depending on whether you want drinks with it). With this menu, they'll bring any dish you want, as many as you want. There are plenty of options for every diet, and the taste is excellent. It's a good place for a date, when family is visiting, hanging out with friends, or impressing coworkers visiting Berlin. Just note that it's quite challenging to find a table for a large group, so make a reservation well in advance.
