tschüüüsch - plantpowered futurefood! — Restaurant in Berlin

My partner and I really enjoyed our experience at this restaurant. It was very inviting, with relaxing music and warm lighting. Our server/host was evidently very kind and cheerful, and very approachable. The food was delicious! I got a Pflanzen Spezial and I really found it flavoursome. It comes with a salad first that really would cost €8 on it's own in another restaurant, for the amount and quality of the food. I don't know what was in the dressing but it tasted fantastic. Overall I think for a diverse flavourful curry with rice and a lovely salad it was really affordable at about €13. So I would really recommend this restaurant for young people who want to enjoy eating out. My partner got a Spinat Sahne Curry and also loved it a lot. And he recommends the Schokocreme mousse for dessert. Finally we got Mango Lassis and it was really the best mango lassi I ever tasted, so thick and creamy! And completely reasonable at 4.90 for a big glass where I have seen some Berlin restaurants asking more than this for sure. I want to highlight the affordability also, for a specialised vegan vegetarian restaurant they could definitely charge more but for two mango Lassis, two fulfilling curries with salad, and a dessert (and free tap water which always makes me happy to see in Germany) it was about 40 euro I think which is really super reasonable nowadays. My partner and I will definitely return and try more of the menu because it is clear there is a lot of passion put into this...

This place is fantastic. We stopped in on a blustery and cold evening after a new friend (local) recommended it to us and were not disappointed. The atmosphere is very pre tech boom Berlin, with some old DDR furniture and vintage lamps and such. They have a super cozy back room with good lighting and low music, which we had all to ourselves for the first part of our delicious meal.

The staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu, advising on spice level and other things. They make an outstanding green chile sauce that can be added to stuff to kick it up a bit. I got the pumpkin curry which was super tasty with a little sharpness and good heat. Salad had pickled onions and good subtle dressing, not overpowering or drenched. My wife got the palik (palag) paneer, which was also super tasty, obviously made with fresh spinach, not frozen or premade anything. Paneer was perfectly prepared, crisped edges and balanced saltiness. All items have a vegan option alternate, it’s clear vegan vs vegetarian is not an afterthought for chef.

We ended up staying for a long time and got drinks after the meal because the atmosphere was so good for such a night, and chatted briefly with our table neighbors, asking about what they got - banana curry (house specialty), also pumpkin curry - all crowd pleasers.

All in all, we will be visiting often, our new fave...

I was excited about this place because I love Indian food. I ordered the vegan korma and my husband ordered the baba-special. When our food arrived my korma did not look, smell, or taste like korma. In fact, it was the EXACT same sauce as my husband's dish, but with a few different vegetables. It also had a soy meat replacement that was sort of what faux meat was like 20 years ago: rubbery chunks that somehow simultaneously manage to be watery. The staff were nice, the food came out fast, but you can't get away with this kind of marginal cooking these days- particularly not in Berlin which is sort of the unofficial vegan culinary capital of the world right now. You got to bring your A game and I've had much better Indian food, and far better vegan food, elsewhere. Not only several blocks away here in Berlin, but also in places like Oklahoma City. (In walking distance: for vegan try Alaska Bar, for great Indian try Avataar, which also has vegan options.) If they are serving up better Indian food in OKC, you know you in trouble! The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. I think a 2.5 star rating would be more accurate, but since I can't do that, it gets 2 stars. Maybe in a city with lesser cuisine this place would have...
