Euphoria
Style:
Cocktail Bar/eclectic international food
More:
Reviews:
This popular spot in the Simon Dach Kiez has received several good reviews. It serves the regular "cafe fair" and international dishes (including pasta and breakfasts); and is also a cocktail bar. Tim and Megan write on their blog: "we returned to Simon-Dach Strasse for dinner, this time visiting a restaurant called Euphoria. Again the servings were huge and the prices were not. Germans, it would seem, eat a lot of meat..."

Cupcake Berlin
Style:
Cafe with, well, cupcakes of all kinds
More:
Cupcake serves mostly cupcakes of all kinds, but this is one of those American colonies in Berlin and you can find there American soft beverages, and some vegetarian dishes (toasts with beans/cheese), Oreos and Reeses.
Reviews:
Lizzy in "Trying Veganism" has written a nice review of the place, adding some great photos, see it at Trying Veganism. In general, Lizzy was excited by (almost) everything, but she says that the frosting on the vegan cupcake (which is naturally without milk or egg) tastes like margarine.

le lamian
Style:
Chinese
More:
Traditional Chinese noodle soups
Reviews:
There are somewhat mixed reviews about this place. On the one hand, there are several such raving reviews that Le Lamian managed to become ranked as the third best Chinese restaurant in Berlin on QYPE. On the other, a recent review warns that much of the ado is because people do not know "real" Chinese restaurants, only the mum-and-pap fast food joints, and in comparison with these it ranks good, but in general, its food is disappointing (in German, a long and good - mostly negative - review on Qype).

Schneeweiß
Style:
South-German, Austrian/Bavarian
More:
A bit hyped, good "Alpine Cuisine" for affordable prices
Reviews:
From "Chiu on This": "We shared two entrees from their daily specials list: a lovely roasted chicken with green beans and rosemary potatoes and interesting-in-a-good-way spinach dumplings that the waitress inaccurately described as gnocchi. With a soft drink, the whole meal came out to 20 euro, which I thought was very reasonable given the quality of the food, the swank digs, and the unpretentious staff."
From Miami, bro: "[Schneeweiss] is located in the Friedrichshain neighborhood (which was bumping with eating people) and offers flawless, traditional Alpine cuisine. I love wiener schnitzel, but I got the roasted pork, seen here. It's not as much the look but the perfect taste of it that made me fall in love. Eddie and Juergen got the lamb, and I deboed a few veggies from Eds, and they were so perfectly unaltered, plump and flavorful. It was as if God grew them from Her own belly and kissed them before placing them on the plate. The waiters were kind of laissez-faire about us, the atmosphere was pretty and modern, but the food was why I spent 20 hours curled up in a puddle of my own saliva, heavy on Valium in a shaky tiny plane. Please eat here. Your stomach will give you a high five."

On Been There, Sissi writes: "Maru is a small and cosy Korean restaurant, which offers quality sushi. You’ll get a good portion of nigiri for about £5, you’re not stuffed but not hungry anymore as well. You can choose this place for a late dinner - they serve food till midnight. Korean sushi is a nice option, if you don’t like the typical Japanese sour rice; it comes with a well flavoured smooth sauce.
I especially liked the atmosphere, they haven’t chosen the typical Asian interior and it matches will with the small size of the place and friendly people working there.
It is a place to meet for a date, as well as for a business lunch. If you want to show up with a group, I recommend to book, as the space is very limited."

Related Tours/Sites:
For the first branch, the Tour in Kreuzberg ; for the second, the Communist Berlin tour; and for the third, the Jews and Booze tour, or any of these branches with customised Berlin tours
More:
Has many vegetarian dishes, but is neither full vegetarian nor (consequently) vegan. Another plus is that it is one of the places that really enforces the smoking ban, and did so even before they were required to by law. Saints.
Papa No is also big on take-out and deliveries.
Reviews:
Ashy Macbean has a blog about vegetarian restaurants, and if you're vegetarians or like vegetarian food, it is worth checking. In any case, regarding Papa No, it says: "[...] we chose Papa No's because it advertised vegetarian sushi. We had sushi with avocado and Sesame seed followed by veggie pad thai - both of them were delicious! If you're in Berlin, Papa No's is on Oranienstrasse 191, near Kottbusser Tor or Gorlitzer Banhof U-bhan station. Highly recommended.."
As we noted above, there are also non-vegetarian dishes in Papa No (and we can testify that they are equally good).
