NENI Berlin

High above City West, NENI Berlin is enthroned on the tenth floor of the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin in Charlottenburg, offering a panoramic view of the Zoological Garden and the Memorial Church. Levantine cuisine, a greenhouse in the middle of the restaurant, and one of the city's most sought-after rooftop terraces: It's more than just a good place to sit.

NENI Berlin: Dining with a View over Charlottenburg

Take the elevator from Budapester Straße directly to the tenth floor of the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, where NENI Berlin extends over the rooftops of City West. The space is vibrant yet cozy. At its center is a large greenhouse with space for up to 60 guests. There’s also an open kitchen, large-scale light installations, and relaxed furniture. Those who snag a table on the outdoor terrace look directly onto the Berlin Zoo and the Memorial Church. Levantine-inspired dishes and the panoramic view over Berlin welcome guests without fuss. Reservations are therefore highly recommended.

Sharing Cuisine and Balagan Philosophy

The concept behind NENI Berlin is as simple as it is convincing. „Balagan” means charming chaos. The menu is designed for everyone who wants to experience the full spectrum of NENI cuisine: It begins with a Chef’s Choice of mezze, followed by main courses typical of NENI and the culture in Tel Aviv. The family business combines Levantine street food tradition with Russian, Moroccan, Spanish, German, and Austrian influences. Seasonality plays a real role: Head Chef Christian Geese and his team regularly present new seasonal dishes. These include fried cauliflower, char ceviche, or Levantine beef tartare, while Classic Hummus and Haya’s Famous Popcorn Falafel remain permanent fixtures on the menu. If you haven’t had enough of the view after eating, simply move to the adjacent Monkey Bar on the same floor, where sundowners with a view over the city await you.
