Cozy little restaurant attached to a hotel. We stopped by here on our last day in Berlin as our hotel was in Ku'damm and we wanted to get some local German food nearby. We ordered the sausage platter (3 different grilled sausages) as well as the boiled pork knuckle and a salad. Drinks we did the rhubarb soda as well as a Lager. The sausage platter was a little underwhelming as it was fairly salty and some bits were burnt. Would skip this in favor of some of the more interesting dishes on the menu (deer goulash I think was one of the other options). The boiled pork knuckle was great! Although boiled, it had clearly been marinated expertly before hand as it was packed full of flavor through the entire knuckle. Paired with sauerkraut, it was a stunning combination. Awesome to have both the boiled version from this place as well as the grilled/fried version from Zur Letzten Instanz the day before! The salad was overall tasty but had some sand in it which was unpleasant. Quite harsh on the teeth and we had to skip eating some bits of it. Rhubarb soda is a personal favorite of mine so nothing much to be said there. The Lager was a bit strong on the alcohol, Pilsners are generally smoother. Obviously this bit is no fault of the restaurant but just something to be aware of for folks looking to try German beer. Service was generally fine, the waitress spoke English, but not sure what happened at the end. We finished our food and made eye contact with the waitress numerous times but somehow she just never came by with the check until we had to explicitly flag her down. A bit of an awkward end to an otherwise great meal.
The location isn't bad really at all! It's off the busy part of the street which makes it better than the other. It wasn't crowded so it was easy to find a spot. The food was just fine. However nothing to really go on about. If you want to get off the Main Street then this is the place. But don't stop for just the food. You can find other places that are better.
Looking for real German food in Berlin, look no further, this is it!! Seriously, everything exceeded my expectations. The food, the ambiance, and the service were spectacular! Drees and Ela were the people who were taking care of me, , and they were just delightful! Very kind and appreciative that we chose to visit their restaurant. Huge menu with lots of choices, and you can't go wrong with any of them! This place was a fantastic find, and I very much look forward to returning!
I notice many local people visit this restaurant. The seating distance are pre-covid structure. But, not too worry, they have large window that always opened up (visited in early June) Ordered the seasonal Asparagus soup, Bradwurst platter Well balance and seasoned meal! Cannot have enough of their sauerkraut, potato dumpling. Good customer services.
Had a great meal here last night overseas. When in Berlin I thought why not have schnitzel and so off to Yelp I go. And it's about a block from my hotel... so I go into this very authentic German spot that is filled with energy and people. Once again, Yelp has me covered. I go basket of bread ( on the House ) and I hide red wine. Both were good. Great menu with all the German classics and I go schnitzel. Comes with simply the best potato dish ever. Sliced potatoes grilled with onions that were seriously additive. And a BOWL of red cabbage. The schnitzel was perfectly cooked and tender and when paired with the other two sides... a great meal. Service was great, friendly and local. It's off the main road but easy to find. Loved it and it would be my first stop next trip!
I wanted German for dinner and so sought out on YELP where to dine on my most recent trip to Berlin. It was definitely a meat and potato's kind of night. 1) Berlin style potato and sausage soup: I loved how simple yet flavorful it was. Delicious soup! 2) Spaetzle with pork, and creamy mushroom sauce: egg like pasta with tender pork and mushroom cream sauce was perfect and I really enjoyed it. Simple ingredients prepared with love and care. Would definitely come back when I visit Berlin in the future.
This is a great local restaurant if you want tasty German food. We walked over a mile just to try this place and it did not disappoint. The menu thankfully had English descriptions so you know what you're ordering. They have an extensive menu so you have an option to order a variety of items. The food was delicious! And the one item they had that I was impressed with was their Heinz Pommes frites sauce. No joke, it was really good with my fries. I ordered the schnitzel and it was a big portion. Food was great, atmosphere was friendly, and overall it's a good choice to try local German food.
I'm in Gasthaus Krombach, beside a fellow artist. My nemesis, Robert. Of all places to celebrate a bachelor party, he chooses Berlin, a city war- torn by fascists and communists alike. Back in NY, Robert is svelte, always dressed in black. At Gashaus Krombach, he's in a red, lumberjack flannel--much of it unbuttoned---and I can see his man breasts, the V-spread exposing his chest hair and tattoos. He even has a nipple ring, and at an angle, there it is gleaming. And even in my depressed state and Robert's belligerence, we stumbled on a good experience. I almost feel unworthy of this lovely bar. The owner is towered above us; there must be a platform of which he's standing on behind the taps. He asks us where we're from. I look at Robert and think, boy he's making us Americans look bad. Funny thing is, Robert's a Brit. Doesn't always pronounce his t's. I tell the owner, "New York." I'm wearing a burgundy flat cap and houndstooth blazer like a true gentleman, not like Robert, who's like an honorary Sex Pistol. The owner is nonetheless well-spoken and friendly, recommending which beer shall sustain our buzz, which we've been swimming in since leaving New York. I tell him, "I'd love the liver and onions," and whichever beer he recommends. Nothing sour. My mood is already that, after-all. Robert doesn't eat. Only wants to drink. He's only concerned with drinking and drinking, and letting his few whips of chest hair into the room from his splayed flannel. With sleeves rolled, he's whispering in my ear to ask this gentle owner where we can find some women. I tell him to go have another smoke. When my liver and onions arrive, Robert is outside. I take a bite, eyes closed, savoring the quiet, thinking I better find him some women. It's my duty as his best man, and perhaps he chose Berlin because of it's night women. Whereas I am a shy type, delighting in Berlin for it's cute restaurants of yellow light, liver and onions with fried apples.
Absolutely awesome German food. Friendly service, welcoming ambience... it's really a fab place for a good hearty German meal. I highly recommend getting something other than schnitzel, although I'm sure it's great here. The Klopse (meatballs in a creamy sauce) were fantastic. So was the stuffed cabbage. Servers / bartender speak English, a bonus for some travelers. Frank is an awesome waiter, too, sehr freundlich & nett. If they have chocolate cake... try it. It's different, but really, really good. :)
Legit Schnitzel. Great service. Giant sized-portions, easily shared. The "two meatballs" dinner sounds small but the meatballs are baseball sized and so good. Wiener Schnitzel and red cabbage were awesome. The Roast Pork could be cut with a fork! Very cool place! Warning: no AC but that seems to be a Europe thing
Anytime I travel, I eat local, no chains. This place did not disappoint. When in Germany....plus I love German food anyway. My dinner was the Berliner Sausage plate. Coming with 3 different types of sausages, one a Curry sausage. All 3 were grilled to perfection, all three great flavor, topped with mustard, laying on a bed of flavorful sauerkraut, not too bitter, a good standard kraut. A side of mashed potatoes, very flavorful. Eating local is always best.
Not looking to wander far from the hotel after 12hrs of travel, Gasthaus Krombach was convenient AND a great find. The bartender spoke English, though I knew right away what I was after: a plate of currywurst and a mug of beer. Having currywurst in Berlin is like having pizza in NY: sure, there's a lot of unimpressive ones out there but it's far and away better than any imitation you'd find overseas. The wurst was excellent: the casing gave a nice bite to the gently seasoned meat while the curry sauce was much more than ketchup with with curry powder; it came closer to a curry gravy. The side of fries were hot and crisp, and all the better washed down with a Krombacher Pils. Definite plus for the music: you probably won't find too many German beer halls blasting old American blues.
We wanted to try some authentic German cuisine while in Berlin and this spot was conveniently located not too far from our hotel. Plus, we were able to get a table right away upon entering on a Saturday evening. We both ordered a beer and started the meal with some traditional Goulash. YUM! Even my husband loved the soup. I chose the sausage platter for my meal and my husband ordered the Weiner Schnitzel. Everything was so good. Lots of food- I couldn't finish. The German potato salad was surprisingly really good! We are big fans now. Our server was awesome and was so attentive to our table despite how busy the restaurant was. This is a great spot! read more

I went here on recommendation from Yelp and local colleagues. I'd never visited Berlin previously and went for work. I loved the Currywurst, the atmosphere, and the fast friendly service. I ended up going several times during my short Berlin work trip. read more

I wish I knew the name of the gentleman that served me. He was kind and attentive. I went during the day. I ordered the Berlin currywurst. It was delicious! The sausage wasn't too soft and frankly, I enjoyed it without anything extra. I ordered the apple strudel as well. Since they serve it to you warm , make sure you eat a bike of it with ice cream at the same time. Mmmm. Thank you for this opportunity. read more

This place was a wonderful first stop in Berlin! I went to this place around 1:00 on a Friday afternoon and had ZERO trouble getting a table. Actually, I was a bit concerned because it was so empty and a host didn't greet us. However, a host did come out of the back to greet us and she knew English very well. I already knew I wanted to try currywurst, so ordering didn't take long at all. The food was delicious and I really enjoyed the view of the street. read more
Great meal here! I arrived early and although I sat in indoor area, with the front area opened wide there was plenty of air from outside. I had 2 meatballs and boiled potatoes in cream sauce with capers. Dessert was apple strudel with ice cream and creme with small chocolate bits on it....yum! Berliner Pilsner also, and all good until I swatted a yellow jacket bee and it landed in my beer!! Could not believe it! Good service. Hot food! Great find! read more

We loved this restaurant. If you are from the US and want to have the full German food experience, this is the place to get it. They make the best knodel I've ever had and Their Spaetzle was among the best I've experienced as well. I mixed it with the goulash and it was just glorious. The flavors and textures were just right on point. The roast pork served with red cabbage and knodel was a great portion and just about perfect and the service and ambiance were wonderful. This is about three blocks from the Berlin Hard Rock Cafe so it's in a great location and the food at the hard Rock is just as sub-par as it is at all of their locations so just walk another three blocks and experience near perfection. The prices are very reasonable for Europe as well. read more

This is a small restaurant on a side street off the Ku'damm that is not at all touristy, so it's a good place to experience some genuine Berlin food and atmosphere. When I went, the building the restaurant was in was covered with scaffolding so it was a little hard to find. It's very comfortable with a couple of rooms, one of which had a bar and the other just tables. The staff was friendly and the service good by German standards. I got a dark beer and the Berliner Teller. This dish consisted of three types of meat and some potatoes and sauerkraut. The meat included some type of ground beer party, a sausage that tastes like a Bratwurst, and a slice of ham. It was a huge serving, very well prepared and hearty. The prices were good and I think I paid only around 20 EUR for the beer and meal. I liked the decor in the hotel, with some reproductions of German portraits on the wall cross from me. I visited in the early evening and had no problem getting a table for one (unlike some other restaurants they did not have a reserved sign on many tables). This was one of the better meals I had on my visit to Berlin--I recommend visiting this restaurant. read more

Short story: awesome food, awesome drinks, awesome location, awesome staff, all comes at a reasonable price. I have no complaints at all! Long story: my friend and I were both visiting from another country, and we never had good German food where we came from, so we explored around Yelp and stumble onto this restaurant nearby the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. When we first enter, we were welcomed by a friendly waitress who asked if we made any reservations, to which our answer is no. She then said "oh then please go ahead and take a seat wherever you like, just avoid those tables over there" and point out a few tables that were clearly reserved. We settled down quickly and experienced pretty good services. The waiters and waitresses were pretty attentive, very warm and welcoming and the food were served pretty fast. We ordered the following, and please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong: Berlin Eisbien (12.90 eur) - boiled pork knuckle, side of saurkraut, horseradish dip/spread, some kind of apple sauce I think, and whole boiled potato Schnitzel (18.90 eur) - breaded fried veal, side of some kind of sauteed or stewed potato Bratwurst (4.90 eur) - pork sausage, side of fries Beer - Berlin Pilsner and Krombacher (4 eur+ each, can't remember the exact price) It's a lot for two people, but it was so good that we had to finish everything to do it justice, so I guess that's the only downside - you'll really be stuffed and can hardly walk. read more

Really good german food! We just got to berlin and found this amazing restaurant/bar close to our hotel at Kudamm and loved it! We had the weiner schnitzel(deep fried pork filet) and the bratwurst(berlin grilled sausage) and couldn't have had a better first meal in Germany! The schnitzel came with lots of crunchy french fries and a little but really delicious salad and the bratwurst was grilled and crunchy, with sauerkraut(cabbage) which was perfectly made, tasting sweet and sour!! Both dishes really well served, with really good price, we payed 25 euros for both dishes and two beers! The staff was really friendly and attentious, even though they speak little english! I would also recommend the weinhenstephen weiss beer! Cheers! read more

First night to Berlin and this restaurant had great reviews, one block off the popular area it seemed like it might be a good choice.... No clue how the ratings are as high as it is.... I tend to rate a bit in the high side so when I give a low rating..... It is really low... The potatoes were supposed to be hot and they were served cold... The schnitzel was ok... The pork fillet with mushroom sauce was pretty good but the noodles that came with it were undercooked.... So in general, the meat was good but the sides like potato or pasta was pretty disappointing.... Atmosphere is perfect.... Open windows to the street and the staff were friendly. Just need to work in the side dishes and get them a bit less salty, a bit warmer... And a bit tastier.... If you go here just keep some low expectations for any side dish and you will be okay..... read more
