ReisLab Bowls

Fresh bowls with a Turkish-Oriental character, halal certified and at low prices: ReisLab Bowls in Kreuzberg, Reichenberger Straße, proves that vegan street food in Berlin doesn't have to be expensive or complicated.

ReisLab Bowls: Kreuzberg’s little bowl spot with depth

Anyone in Kreuzberg looking for a vegetarian or vegan snack bar will sooner or later end up at Reichenberger Straße 176. ReisLab offers a concept that is as clear as it is convincing: fresh bowls and cold drinks, halal certified. This sounds simple, but it hits a nerve in the neighborhood. The bowls are fast, filling, and surprisingly aromatic. Those who expect vegan street food to be either bland or overpriced will be proven wrong here.

The centerpiece of the menu is the Kisir Bowl: bulgur, fresh salad, herbs, jalapeños, pickled gherkins, beetroot, and olives, refined with homemade sauce, fresh, light, and aromatic. The vegan version of this bowl is available from 6.50 euros. This makes ReisLab Bowls one of the cheapest vegan snack bars in the entire Kreuzberg neighborhood. In addition, the bowl can be supplemented with a side dish of your choice, making the composition even more flexible.

Vegan street food in Berlin: Halal, fresh, and uncomplicated

ReisLab doesn’t rely on Instagram aesthetics or elaborate interior design, but primarily on taste. The approach is reminiscent of the Turkish tradition of Kisir, a fresh bulgur salad deeply rooted in Levantine cuisine. The dish is inherently vegan and brings a clear seasoning that doesn’t miss any meat component. So, if you’re looking for a vegan or vegetarian snack bar in Berlin that doesn’t rely on seitan sausages or soy patties, this is the place for you. ReisLab also delivers via platforms like Wolt. This means the fresh bowls can also be conveniently delivered to your home, making the place a practical everyday option for the entire district. All in all: a small shop that shows what Kreuzberg’s street food culture means at its best.
