Aaina Tempelhof | Indisches Restaurant | Cocktailbar — Restaurant in Berlin

Very nice welcome when we arrived and lucky enough to get a table in a packed restaurant. First two waiters were really attentive and got us quickly a starter, our 2 drinks and a little side we ordered. The mains came 10 minutes after and were pretty good. It lacked a little bit of flavor but the portion size was decent and the food nice enough, that I wanted to take the left over home for a night snack. However, the waiter that took the section over really let our nice night end badly. First when he came to pick up the almost empty plates, he pretty much ripped them off the table aggressively with a truly annoyed facial expression and the sauce splattered over one of us. Then he ran with the same plates against the guy on the table next to us. Followed by a grumpy apology. Then we asked to pay by card and when we tried to pay by N26 he yelled "No. EC CARD!"

Not intending to come back and can't recommend...

Sad to say I was disappointed. The garlic naan was good and the curry sauce was good, but it seemed like 90% of the vegetables (in both our dishes), literally, was zucchini. That's not a common veggie for Indian food. And it really didn't fit. Also, the paneer was just not what I'm used to. They have a lot of Thai dishes on the menu, so I wonder if they're not cooking "authentic" Indian food. The problem is, that was their...
