India — Restaurant in Berlin

Average Berlin "Indian" food. Pretty disappointing. Guy was nice, and I politely asked if the could make it "authentic" (as in India) spicy. Unfortunately the vegan Thali they made me was expensive (11.50) and very far from authentic. (the non-vegan version was also not good I was told).

I know that Indian food here in Berlin is generally terrible, but a friend told me this place used to be very good, so we tried it. Unfortunately we both agree it isn't anymore. There were almost no spices in any of it, palak, malai kofta, and some mixed veg. Nothing had an interesting masala -- the orange slices on the plate were the most flavorful thing.

I suspect many people might still like this place, which is fine. But I would not recommend it for anyone who knows what real Indian food should taste like.

PS: I've spent more than a year traveling through much of India overland and have been cooking Indian food myself for a decade -- even the cheapest, low quality veg food for € 0.30 there is far tastier than this. Most airlines make dramatically better Indian food...

You are looking for some Indian restaurant with some atmosphere, than you are ok there. The dimmed lights and the small tidy place does it. But are you looking for some pleasant FOOD experience, FORGET IT. Just cross the street, buy the ingredients in the supermarket and cook it yourself. You'll do better believe me. My god, I have eaten "palak panir" (spinach with cheese) many times and in many different restaurants but this one tasted like spinach babe puree for adults. Since I was not alone at the table, I asked my friends if I could try their food like the chicken in curry sauce. Was this some sort of prank? I am so sorry I have been there. The Chicken seemed raw and the curry sauce?! Where they doing it for the first time or they couldn't find the recipe? On top of that the employees are checking you out all the time. No privacy, not good...

Small but good! I've been here with my family, and in all honesty I had looked another one on Maps with better reviews (thanks Google), but when your mom says something in the line of "I'm paying", every good son knows when to listen. The owner was very friendly and helped us through the ordering process, explaining the dishes in great detail. The food was yummy and the service great. Only downside was a persistent smell, a mix between dog farts and morning breath (wish I was joking), but once you got used to it it was ok. Recommended...
