Zula Restaurant

Zula Restaurant: Hummus as a Serious Affair

Anyone looking for an Israeli restaurant in Berlin that understands hummus not as a side dish, but as the main act, will sooner or later end up on Husemannstraße. Zula in Prenzlauer Berg is a relaxed spot specializing in Israeli hummus with various toppings, as well as grilled meat and homemade pita. The concept is refreshingly clear: all hummus dishes are served with warm chickpeas, pickled cucumbers, olives, fresh onions, lemon-garlic sauce, hot sauce, and homemade flatbread. If desired, you can customize your dish. The result is always creamy, full-bodied, and incredibly addictive. No wonder many guests return multiple times a week.

Israeli Cuisine in Prenzlauer Berg: More Than Just Chickpeas

Of course, it would be an understatement to reduce Zula solely to its hummus. In addition to numerous hummus variations, the menu also includes vegan and vegetarian options, as well as freshly baked pita bread and grilled meat dishes. Particularly recommended are the oven-baked cauliflower, which is considered an absolute must-try, and the spinach falafel, which speaks for itself with its rich green color and robust flavor. To accompany your meal, you can order fresh juices or a mint lemonade, which wonderfully complement the dish. Seating is available indoors or outdoors on the terrace, with the latter being the clear better choice in good weather on the tree-lined Husemannstraße. On Google, Zula scores 4.4 stars, reaching a level that is unparalleled in Berlin’s restaurant scene for Israeli cuisine. Table reservations are recommended.
