Lemon Grass Scent — Restaurant in Berlin

Wish I could keep it a secret. This place is really good. First of all, before you dive into the menu, just order a mango coconut drink and all will be good. Don't go for a small one, go BIG, you can thank me later! The starters could easily be your main. I ordered a sate, which will come with a real home made peanut sauce, none of that peanutbutter gooey stuff. If you're used to fake stuff, re-think ordering it. The fried stuff on the menu, is really fried (thus greasy), and tasty.

My go-to dish is the rice noodle with stir fried chicken. Ordered it soo many time, can never finish it. PERFECT dish, if you ask me.

The chicken curry is also good, not a curry fan, but it's good. Then, by the time you're done trying to eat all your noodles, I am sure you're ready for more mango coconut. DAMN, that drink is good. Pretty sure it's the perfect base for a good cocktail, but that needs more...

The food is delicious and it is cheap. I liked it so much that in two weeks I have gone three times. But today I took a good friend of mine and he ordered Pad Thai. He was finding the dish delicious until he noticed he was chewing a screw. Yes, a pointy, metallic screw. I called the waiter and showed him the screw, he was very apologetic and offered not to charge for that particular dish. My friend, who is too kind, didn't demand more. But to me this is unacceptable. The manager never came out to apologise and we were charged for the rest of the meal. Personally, I will not come back, and I am not sure if I was more shocked by the restaurant serving a dish with a screw or by my friend's...

I only wish we have the stomach to try more dishes and the mango lassi drink. We opted for pot of tea since it was late. Curry and the soup were very flavorful and reminded me of Thailand, minus the spicyness. For those who prefer spicy foods, may want to ask staff. Summer rolls with fresh veggies/herbs/mint leaves, took me back home. Really enjoyed the food a lot and employees were very friendly. Portions were huge; the photos do not show how big the bowl of curry really is and the summer rolls too. Prices were good as well. Wish we have one more night in Berlin to return to Lemon...
