Transit — Restaurant in Berlin

The waiter who served us was rude, full of attitude and fake in his mannerisms. A soulless unpleasant tourist trap for visitors who don’t know any better! A young guy in his 20s. (I was there on 24.07.22 in the evening around 19.00). When I asked to change tables as the ladies bathroom door made loud noise every time someone used it (all it needs is a little padding to fix) and we were seated next to it, the waiter was almost passive aggressive, annoyed and rolled his eyes. „Yeah, go ahead then!! Choose!“..not a hint of warmth in his eyes. He obviously didn’t care how we as clients felt and were we comfortable or not. I could sense some bubbling resentment in him. Very unpleasant!!! I felt confused and uncomfortable. He couldn’t keep an eye contact or didn’t want to. He was indifferent, cold and if I had been alone, I would have walked out. Rude service. The waiter in question moved around like a robot, banged dishes, was rushing. Very bad vibes, absolute disrespect towards paying clients. The restaurant was almost empty so I don’t see what the problem was. Perhaps the fact that I spoke English and complained about the door upset him? Perhaps he thought I am annoying tourist? Which I am not and only visited their restaurant because a good friend recommended it to me. Not sure why some people choose to be in service if they don’t like it or don’t like to deal directly with people. Shame. If I was the boss, I would fire him today! Will never go back there! Food was acceptable. Not mind-blowing though. Hence I did leave tip but for the chef, not for this cocky annoyed little piece of **! Unfortunately, to make the visit even worse, after finishing our meals, we realized that the food was also over priced for what it was. Tiny tapas portions for €4.90! All four bowls came in different times!! Go to Neukölln and you have delicious main course for what one tapas bowl at Transit costs. The sound of the toilet door still echoes in my mind…the devil is...

There is much I love but some thing which are going the wrong way. I love the concept of asian food served tapas style on small affordable plates. A party of 4 should order 3 plates (3€/plate) each and share. Great idea!

The food is very tasty and amazingly all dishes are served at the same time even if you order 10 or more different ones. You have a selections of pork, beef, chicken and vegetarian options. I love the fresh summer rolls, yummy! Although you feel the quality suffering on a busy night on the weekend, the food is not so much on the point, spices and herbs not being used in the same perfect way, which made this place great.

The also can order quite good cocktails there, BUT prices has gone up ridiculous (10€ a glass), a Mai Tai is now known as Transit Thai, which means smaller glass, even less rum inside and no longer served burning. It used to be really strong (at least for me), now its more like a juice and I don't drink cocktails a lot.

So ending up paying so much more for bad cocktails than for good food earns that place only 3 stars any longer. A year ago it would have been a strong 5 stars,...

Shrunken shrimps: We arrived at the restaurant happy and excited to eat our number one favorite food since 6 years of living in Berlin. Upon arrival we ask if can sit at one of the red tables, the restaurant is literally empty. The waiter looked at us as we were from Mars and said very arrogantly almost irritated that we could sit wherever they decided. We order our favorite dishes and begin the process of waiting patiently for our food. When the food arrives we are met with horror. The dish ”crispy prawns” is usually served 3 crispy prawns but today we got only 1,5. When pointing this out to the waiter she said arrogantly and irritated that it wasn’t her problem and said that the shrimps isn’t ”all the same” and that she wouldn’t do anything about it. So apparently the usual 3 crispy prawns had now shrunken into 1,5. On top of that the usual 0,33 cola has now also shrunken to a 0,2 cola and still costs 3€. I never thought I would say this but I won’t be returning to this establishment. If I could I would give it 0 stars but one is the minimum. 6€ for 1,5...
