Good food. Good service. Hearty traditional food served with style. Nice draft beer selection.

Nicely tucked away in corner - great for a quiet evening. Ordered the Schnitzel Hunter style and flying kangaroo - both are amazing. Great ambience and very affordable. read more

Elefant - German Near Me - Berlin, BE

Staff was very nice. The ox cheek was really good, although didn't love the Brussel sprouts. Good patio area.

Perhaps not the best schnitzel we've had, but pretty good and for folks looking for looking for something less traditional, there are plenty of variations representing many different countries and cultures. One World, United by Schnitzel! read more

I had a pretty good experience at Elefant. After finding this place (due to Yelp reviews) I had no trouble getting seated or waited upon. Actually the place was fairly empty, maybe as it was a Tuesday night at 9 pm. However, the service was fast and friendly - nothing like some of the negative reviews I've read. My waiter was quick to seat me where I wanted and to take my order. Food service was fast - perhaps due to the slow evening, but I can't be sure. I had Jägerschnitzel (I think Hunter's schnitzel on the English menu). It came out hot and tasty, with a great mushroom gravy (per the particular dish). Sides included some fried potato things (short, fried prepared looking potatoes) and a small salad. The schnitzel really satisfied; just what I wanted from a German restaurant. There were MANY schnitzel options, so if you are craving schnitzel this may be a good spot to land. I'd like to return and try some more. The only downer for me was a lack of ambiance. It resembles a sports bar to me. Some cheesy lighting and elephant decor. To me the setting doesn't match, but it didn't really bother me. read more

Elefant is a great little restaurant in a quiet but accessible neighborhood. They have a fair selection of food, with much of it centering on schnitzel, which is prepared quite well. The beef rouladen is fantastic and highly recommended. They also have several fish dishes. While the setting is intimate, larger groups can get a bit noisy. Service was very good. Quite attentive and food delivered quickly. The kaiserschmarrn is a great dessert, prepared just as I remember from Bavaria. read more

My fam bam and I recently visited Berlin and searched Yelp for GERMAN FOOD... cuz when in Germany....The closest and highest rated hit was Elefant. The servers were very patient with my crazy family and suggested the pork knuckle which was AWESOME! My pal got what he referred to as the best schnitzel he tasted in Eastern Europe. There was definitely a bit of a language barrier but the menu was in English and my family applauded my Yelp pick! On a side note that matters very little to me but probably won't be the right choice for some crazy bible thumping religious zealot (take your neggie vibes elsewhere please) visiting Berlin: I'm not sure if it's located in a gay district or happens to be a cluster of gay friendly businesses but yeah, it's a an amazing restaurant run by gay dudes with awesome food and nice people. Nuff said. read more

They have a lot of different types of schnitzel, I had the Swiss style and it was very good! Service was great too. They had both English and German menus and the staff spoke English too which was very helpful for a tourist like myself. If you want good schnitzel try this place out. My only complaint would be it can get very stuffy and warm in there when it's crowded. read more

Elefant - Swiss style schnitzel with cheese - German Near Me - Berlin, BE

One of the least enjoyable experiences in Berlin. I dont know if this was due to the fact it was the day after pride, but the service was terrible. Schnitsel was ok, sauce was ok but I have tasted better in Berlin. Fries were not baked enough: oily and flat. We didnt get any salads with our dinner, although they were going to bring it immediately. The staff did however have time to do some shots behind the bar. We only got only 1 mayo, although 2 were charged. When paying we adressed these issues and the ober surprisingly admitted that he somehow knew. Maybe we just were there at the wrong time, but I expected more from a restaurant with such a high rating. read more

We walked in without a reservation and were told that it would be an hour. We agreed to wait and walked out to explore the neighborhood. The fellow we talked to came out almost immediately and informed us that there had been a cancellation and they could seat us immediately. We were very grateful as it had been a long day of travel and we hadn't really had a chance to eat at all. We were looking for the German, Schnitzel experience and these guys were well recommended on Yelp. They did not disappoint at all. There were so many different variations and the three we tried were all outstanding. The service was very friendly and as visitors from the US, we really appreciate any restaurant in Europe willing to hook us up with extra ice for our drinks. The prices were very reasonable and we were extremely pleased with the entire experience. Great Place! read more

I was craving Schnitzel and German Goulash. Found this restaurant near me and decided to give it a try. I tried the goulash hear, it was enjoyable and that's why I have it the three stars, but I don't believe it to be the best I've tried in my visit to Berlin. The service was ok, the atmosphere during lunch time was dead, we were the only ones. Don't regret going, but wouldn't go again unless it's to try the schnitzel that is supposedly their speciality. read more

Das Essen war ausgezeichnet! (The food was excellent!). The food and service here is really great, not to mention their extensive menu of Schnitzel. We were staying in the area and decided to give this place a try and was happy we did. They were very pleasant and accommodating, considering we did not have reservations. It is a very popular place, so I HIGHLY recommend trying to make a reservation. Service was really nice, considering no one in my party spoke German, other than me. It was a great evening with really good food. Thank you to the staff for the wonderful service and great food! read more

Fantastic Schnitzel. Service was great. Would definitely recommend paying the Elefant crew a visit. read more

We found this place tonight and decided To give it a try and I am so glad we did! This is a wonderful little place with great service and even better food. The Wild mushroom soup should be it's own food group it is creamy and so good. The hunters schnitzel was amazing. My husband had Wild hare and the taste is a rich mix of meat and veggies. I honestly do not have words to accurately describe out food.. thanks so much for a memorable dinner read more

I've been to GERMANY for work prolly 70-80 times. This was the most enjoyable dinner and schnitzel. The menu offers a dozen variations of the classic dish. Everyone got a different style and all were delicious. I got the potato soup to start and it was excellent. I have seriously nothing bad to say about this place. My new go too when we land a bird in TXL. read more

First time here, the wife discovered it on a Yelp search... bloody well done, the food is excellent as is the service. The decor is ok.... but it's modern art and I don't understand art so I'm told. There is a great selection of schnitzel (pork steak in breadcrumbs..... mmmmmmm). I had the Swiss style one...... good size, and tasted gorgeous. The wife had the beef goulash which was as good as mum used to make, a recommendation if ever I heard one from a German. There are menus in English should you need one and the staff speak passable English. Overall an excellent evening meal in great surroundings, I will come again on my next visit to the brother in laws in Berlin. read more

Had my very first schnitzel here! WOW! I never even knew what schnitzel was, and now I am a HUGE fan... Germans get it right in so many ways, and this is definitely one of their specialties. I had the Italian style, and it was so cheesy and so good. All the other options looked just as great, I wish I had more time there because I wanted to try them all. The bartender/server was kind, attentive and helpful. We went during the week in the middle of the day, so it was pretty quiet, but we did not mind one bit. Plus, they were gay friendly, which is always a sign that we want to support their business. read more

Meh. Pretty touristy food and the service was bad. One of the more disappointing meals in Berlin

What a fantastic spot to get many varieties of schnitzel! The service was excellent! The patio is quite cozy and we liked sitting under the awning enjoying the rainstorm that passed through. We enjoyed our visit and already recommended it to another family we've met along our Berlin journey. Will continue to recommend! read more

My wife says that this is one of the best Schnitzels she has had in Berlin. I ordered the Swiss Schnitzel and she ordered a plain one. Both came with fries and a small salad. We would certainly recommend this place and we will be back again! It is worth checking out if you are looking for a good Schnitzel! read more

Amazing. But very large portions. Great staff. Heidi was wonderful. And Heidi is a male. My husband and him kept flirting and kissing. Oh well. It is a schnitzel restaurant with the new reparations more than a dozen ways. Lovely very gay friendly with a primarily gay clientele. Reservations are pretty much required. Our hotel concierge was able to secure us a table for three at the last minute. read more

Absolutely fantastic schnitzel. I like the French, with Dijon mustard and Brie baked on top, but any of the varieties is amazing. And the portions are huge! read more

Great food and excellent service. All manner of schnitzel toppings and a choice of veal or pork schnitzel. My favourite is the Munich style which comes with a sweet horseradish sauce. The side salad is always fresh and there is a good selection of beers. I always look forward to going to Elefant whenever I am in Berlin. read more

Awesome food - schnitzel selections that make choosing difficult. Loved the food, the service, the friendly waitstaff and owners. Love a place where the people are happy to work there and the food shows it. I had the schnitzel with horseradish and my partner had the schnitzel bearnaise mit pomme frite. Cooked to perfection. Strudel (and a couple of Jaegermeisters) put the bow on an awesome evening. read more

Thanks for a great last meal in Germany! read more

Average restaurant, where you can get good Schnitzels in all variation. As the plates are big - as well as the Schnitzels itselfs - you sure get full. Nevertheless, the place isn't really anything special. read more

This restaurant was located close to our hotel and based on the yelp reviews we decided to give it a try. The wait staff was very friendly. A little potato salad was provided with some fresh bread while we ordered. It was very good; it was like an egg potato potato salad. The French schnitzel was fantastic. I think the best schnitzel I've ever had. All in all a very enjoyable experience and one I would highly recommend for anyone in Berlin. read more

Stopped by for some schnitzel after walking and shopping in the cold rainy streets of Berlin. This place was a welcome oasis of warmth and cozy hospitality.

The food here is basic and pretty good. The place has a sleek and modern look. The staff is pleasant. English menu, with many different kinds of schnitzel, which might be a little gimmicky, but I don't think you can go wrong if you order their special thing. We went during off hours, and it was empty. I would recommend doing that for any popular restaurant in Berlin. It's annoying when people complain, about any place, that the place was packed and they got stiffed a little by slow service. read more

The restaurant looked great both inside and out. However, inside smelled like stale cigarettes and booze. The schnitzel was excellent. The portion size was huge and tender too. From order until I received the food was over 30 minutes. The service was ok. The waiter was a bit rude and the service slow. read more

This place is not for the weak at heart ("stomach" is more relevant in this case). Don't come here unless you are starving like you have been on a hunger strike for the past 18 years of your life. Don't try to overachieve and order 5 items from the menu because there will be instant regret followed by a case of food-coma, food-itis, food-phobia. The food is here intimidatingly large and quite delicious. Schnitzels galore! This place has more creative schnitzels than an art museum has paintings. The choices are overwhelming and so difficult that I had to close my eyes and point. I ended up with the "Hawaiin" with ham, pineapples and cheese. The meat is so large it almost had to be carried out in a stretcher! I struggled mightily but ultimately (through an unwavering strength within) emerged triumphant as I polished off this plate fit for a family. I even had to endure the wrath of a delicious goulash along the way. My gf however didn't fare so well. Unfortunately, she was unable to finish her salad (with all the vegetables from an entire farm). Though the grilled chicken in it was delicious! This is an awesome place with great food and great service. Ultimately, I am going to deduct a star because I have had slightly better (more tender) schnitzels compared to this place. However, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place at all if you are looking for great eats! read more
