Charlottenburg · Middle Eastern
Semiramis
One of Berlin's rare Armenian addresses, with seven specialities and a gorgonzola veal fillet at its centre, in Charlottenburg.
Semiramis is a Middle Eastern restaurant in Charlottenburg, priced 30–80 €. Open Mon-Sun 17:00-23:00.
Armenian cooking is a rare thing in Berlin, and on Dahlmannstraße it has held its ground for years in an address book that pulls in newly arrived Armenians and long-time West Berliners alike.
The menu stays deliberately tight: seven specialities, six built around lamb, beef, pork or chicken, plus one with scampi. Every main arrives with vegetables, potatoes or rice, a mixed salad ahead of it. At the centre sits a veal fillet marinated in gorgonzola, a dish the kitchen takes particular pride in — Armenian craft nudged sideways by a southern European accent. A traditionally run counterweight to loud Charlottenburg dining.
