Berlin Burger Offers Savory Stop in Jerusalem's Mamilla Area

As the period of Selichot (penitential prayers) draws crowds to Jerusalem, the Mamilla area offers a prime location for a meat meal before visiting the Old City and the Western Wall. Berlin Burger, an American-style kosher diner located in the heart of Mamilla Mall, specializes in burgers and meat dishes. The restaurant's location is a significant advantage, placing it centrally within the bustling Mamilla area and providing a convenient stop for visitors.

The diner features a colorful, American diner-themed design and a light, enjoyable atmosphere. The main attraction is the burgers, with the reviewer highlighting the "Berlin Burger" (NIS 64) for its large, juicy, and well-cooked patty. The "Argentinian Burger" (NIS 72), enhanced with brisket and onion jam for an additional NIS 9, was particularly praised for its depth of flavor and richness, considered a standout dish.

Beyond the burgers, the "Schnitzel Fingers" (NIS 32) were an unexpected success, noted for being very tasty and crispy, complementing the restaurant's meat-centric menu. Other dishes sampled included wings (NIS 42), an entrecôte salad (NIS 72), and fries (NIS 22), alongside cola drinks (NIS 30).

Overall, Berlin Burger is recommended for its central location, good ambiance, generous meat portions, and relatively reasonable prices. The burgers, especially the Argentinian version, are the top recommendation for those seeking a high-quality, kosher meat meal in Mamilla, particularly during the Selichot season or when visiting the Western Wall. The restaurant is under the supervision of Badatz Yoreh De'ah, Rabbi Shlomo Machfud.
