Berlin 🧉 | A Delightful Surprise for the Taste Buds

After a month of intense studying, I spontaneously decided to go eat at Sathutu with friends the day after my exam. Reservations are required, and the restaurant is located in the trendy PBerg area, featuring two levels. The lower level has large tables, perfect for gatherings with friends. However, the ventilation in the restaurant isn't great, and the grease can be a bit overwhelming, which might irritate your eyes. Papadam / Pineapple Chutney Indian fried flatbread, super crispy, with cumin seeds in the dough. Paired with a tangy pineapple chutney, the first bite brings the sweet and sour flavor of pineapple, quickly followed by a kick of spice, awakening the taste buds and preparing them for the upcoming spice journey. 🍍✨ Jackfruit / Potato / Tomato A traditional Sri Lankan snack, these fried potato balls come with homemade tomato sauce. I didn't get to taste the jackfruit, but it was pretty standard. Coconut Roti / Black Dhal / Burnt Butter Roti is a small flatbread filled with coconut, rich in flavor and texture. It pairs beautifully with butter and comes with a green sauce that is fresh and slightly spicy. The black dhal, made from black lentils, has a firmer texture than quinoa. Due to my unfamiliarity with the spices, I can't quite describe the flavor 🥺—words like fresh, savory, and aromatic don't do it justice; it’s truly a delightful experience for both the palate and the nose. Colombo Chicken Colombo fried chicken served with cilantro sauce. The cilantro flavor is quite dominant, but I prefer it with yogurt sauce. The fried chicken is a must-order; the skin is crispy, and the meat is juicy. The boneless chicken pieces are well-marinated and delicious even without dipping sauce. 🍗💚 Lamb Masala Lamb masala made with ten spices and ingredients. The gamey flavor of the lamb is well-managed, and it includes bits of roti and scallions, making for a hearty portion. For dessert, we ordered cheesecake and coconut ice cream affogato. The ice cream was good, but the coffee was too acidic, which affected the overall taste. The cheesecake is highly recommended; it has a yogurt flavor, smooth texture, and a refreshing sweet-and-sour balance without being cloying. 🍰🍦 Drink Recommendation: Peach Soda 🍑 Average cost: 43€ (including tip) #GigiMonkeyBerlinGuide #BerlinDaily #BerlinGermany #DateNightRestaurant #SriLanka #SriLankanRestaurant #BerlinLife #BerlinExplore #BerlinFood #BerlinFoodMap #BerlinFoodRecommendation
