Hierdurch war es natürlich recht laut, aber erträglich. Für ein lauschiges Rendezvous würde sich aber eh ein Italiener anbieten.... Nun zum Essen. Wir waren zu viert und hatten auch recht unterschiedlich bestellt, somit konnten wir super vergleichen. Alle Gerichte waren superlecker, der Knaller jedoch waren die Linsen. Die auf der Karte mit Peperonis markierten Gerichte haben diese Markierung nicht umsonst. Wer nicht wirklich scharfes Essen gewöhnt ist sollte es vielleicht eine Stufe niedriger versuchen oder dies bei der Bestellung erwähnen. Wir hatten einen sehr mäkligen Esser dabei, für den die Küche alle Wünsche umsetzte. Alles in allem ein gelungener Abend. Wir werden mit Sicherheit wiederkommen obwohl wir hierfür einen nicht unerheblichen Fahrweg auf uns nehmen müssen. Es lohnt sich!

If you're looking for authentic Indian food, on the whole, you'll struggle in Germany. Indian…read morecuisine is adapted for the German palate and as they tend to steer away from anything too spicy, the traditional spiciness that much of Indian food is renowned for, is diluted. What they call onion bhajis in this restaurant are poor, low-quality onion rings. Onion coated in a fatty batter. The spicy dishes like madras, jalfrezi and vindaloo are much the same degree of spiciness and flavour as each other... not very. I have always asked for authentic Indian vindaloo (so HOT), and I think that they just put an extra pinch of chilli powder in the sauce. Very disappointing. All very similar sauces. The chicken I believe (and I might be wrong), is mechanically-recovered chicken. It always has the strangest texture. Slightly slimy too..! Not a quality ingredient at all. Dishes are 'well padded out' with potato. What did it for us at our last (and very last) visit was when my partner ordered a glass of water instead of his usual beer. When the bill came we were horrified to see that we had been charged €4,40 for a glass of water. Not a bottle brought to the table, not a pretentious, fancy Italian brand.. just plain water 'mit'. There aren't many choices of authentic Indian restaurants in Germany, in fact, I haven't come across any but I do object to being ripped off with poor quality ingredients and obscenely over-priced water. As locals who live a short walk from Zaika and have recently visited the restaurant on a weekly basis, we won't be going again. The hunt continues for an 'authentic', quality Indian restaurant in East Berlin.

Stopped in for a light dinner. It was happy hour so I ordered a Bahama Mama. I hadn't had one in…read moremany years. It was very well prepared and tasty. For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Mango. It was pretty good but I would have preferred added spiciness. On my second visit, I ordered spicy Daal Makhni. It was fire in my mouth and I loved it! On mys second visit, I also ordered a Merlot. It was so good, I had to get the name of it, Louis Eschensauer Merlot. I can't wait to have this again! After my meal, I was served a mango shot on the house. I don't know what was in it, but it sure tasted great! Service was awesome on both visits (same staff members). Most guests sat outside but it was pretty humid so I elected to sit inside. The location is great, right across from the Alexa Mall.

Yelp gets it right…read more Four stars. Had a pleasant and interesting Tandoori Mutton. Far better than any Tandoori I have had in the United States. A pale shade of the "to die for" memorable Tandoori Duck I had at Sadhu in Kreuzberg. Everything else was pretty normal. I suppose I should give the second best in my entire life version of a dish five stars. But I just can't get the Sadhu duck out of my mind.

By far one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to!…read more Let me sum this up for you without all the nonsense: - The owners are genuinely lovely people, making sure your meal is the way you want it to be. - It's CHEAP! Student and family- friendly for sure. - The portions are sizable. You'd have to be an annoying besserwisser to say you're hungry when you're about to leave the place. I had to take half of my biriyani home once as I couldn't finish it, and I love that stuff! - They have happy hour cocktails ALL THE TIME. €3.50 for classics and exotic stuff you've never heard about before. The mango pina colada was delishhhhh. - The atmosphere has the oriental touches you'd expect. Relaxed, with comfy seats, and with all that delicious food you're about to dig into you need that in order to recover from your food coma.... For those who are not into the hotness of spicy indian food I'd recommend the mango chicken. It's the most tender piece of white meat soaked in mango goodness you'll ever taste and you'll be crying rivers when you start spotting the bottom of your plate as the food starts to make its way to your tummy. Just so you're prepared...!

First time it was really bad tasting, tasted like the curry has almost gone bad. After a few months I gave it another try. Food in second attempt was okay but nothing special. After a month I gave a final try and still the food was just about average. On the positive side, it is a bit cheaper and they also accept cards. May be I choose the wrong dishes every time. But after three tries I have given up. There are many other Indian restaurants nearby so I will probably eat there instead.
