Potsdamer Platz Arkaden is one of the many shopping malls in the German capital of Berlin, it is…read morelocated just around the corner from the Mall of Berlin, the latter being in a much better, central location in Postdamer Platz, close to two metro stations and being a larger and more modern mall alltogether. Potsdamer Platz Arkaden in my opinion really is a big down compared to the other nearby mall, as despite being a decent size over three floors, I find the overall selection of stores to be a little restrictive, for example there isn't even a Starbucks here, albeit that is the same with the Mall of Berlin, and there is a Starbucks on the street leading up to the mall and many others in the Postdamer Platz area so perhaps one right inside, in the heart of the mall, as they have in Alexa for example isn't needed here. There are a few large flagship shops such as H and M, Mango and Wohrl and as I recall Rewe and O2 have a branch here, but overall the selection if restrictive and with a lack of maps around the mall, the layout is also something I found to be confusing, I ended up going up and down every floor looking for a Starbucks only to find out, it is located just outside opposite Pizza Hut and Rewe which was frustrating, there also was a lack of staff and help desks too. In my opinion, Potsdamer Platz Arkaden will always come second to the Mall of Berlin mainly down to it being insuperior in near enough every way, being smaller, less modern and having a more confusing layout with less people to ask for help/maps etc, sadly deserving a single one star rating.

Want to kill time before dinner?…read more Literally a 2 minute walk from the moment you step out of Potsdamer Platz station, Arkaden is a very nice shopping complex with many stores spread over three floors. We easily wasted an hour or so window shopping here. All that walking in Berlin convinced my friend she needed a new pair of sneakers to take back home to the US. She didn't find it here, but she was directed by the helpful staff to another mall. You won't go hungry here as the food options range from full service restaurants to small cafes where you can take a short break. Caffe e Gelato was busy as a bee: the ice cream line moved quickly and I guess in Berlin, even when it's raining, its always ice cream time!

Ich liebe Pasta und es gibt einfach keine leckerere frische Pasta zu kaufen als die von Giovanni Rana. Daher gibt es sie auch so häufig bei uns Zuhause. Als ich gehört habe, dass hier im Foodcourt der Mall of Berlin ein Rana "Mini-Restaurant" eröffnet hat, hat mein Herz gleich einen Hüpfer gemacht und ich dachte mir: "Da muss ich hin!" ... Gesagt, getan. Und ich kann euch sagen, es war die Reise wert! Noch leckerer als Zuhause und das Personal war wirklich super freundlich! Wenn es mich demnächst wieder zum Shoppen in die Ecke verschlägt werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder beim Giovanni einkehren :-)

It's located directly adjacent to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church so the location is reasonable. The mall is slightly hard to navigate with very few employees around, and only two lifts, both of which are close to each other but not close enough you can press a button and wait for the next one, the lifts overall are quite slow. The mall does have some nice features such as a market outside, and a nice square where you can sit outside if you ate at Vapiano for example, and a water feature inside. Probably a lack of shops also doesn't do this place any positives, and the number of shops and even places to eat is much smaller than most other shopping malls I've seen around the city, such as the Mall of Berlin. This isn't the best of places to shop, and probably not somewhere one should come out of their way for, it has a new nice water features and an excellent branch of Vapiano and sadly that is about it, also frustratingly the toilets are downstairs (they do have a pretty frightening stair-lift) but of course you have to also pay 50 cents each for this. Due to what I've mentioned, the Europa Centre deserves a two star rating.

Mall fast food usually is a desperation act for me, but man oh man I am a sucker for Indian food…read more Bombay Xpress as you have probably guessed by now is located in the Mall of Berlin on the top floor in the food court. There are many ethnic food choices to choose from, but honestly Bombay Xpress looked and smelled good. The gentleman behind the counter kindly guided me through what they offered, basically your average mainstay meals most are accustomed to when visiting Indian restaurants. I opted for the chicken tikka masala with a side of roti and butter. Prices of course are very attractable being a food court in a mall, so do not expect to break the bank on this one. Seating is ample as well, so no need for having a friend of partner reserve one while you get the goods. Onto the food, I'd easily rate it a 6.5/10, chicken tikka masala was quite creamy with a strong curry flavor. Chicken cubes were a tad chewy, but hey you get what you pay for, right? As for the roti, who hates any type of dough bathed in butter? Well worth the quick stop in the end to re fuel for the day and would gladly come back if I were in the area and needed some fast food service.

The guy, for a start, charge us 50% more than the indicated price just by saying, it is complicated to cook....wtf... You have to pay upfront, so when we see that he is not giving back the right amount, we ask for cancellation and he doesn't want to cancel nor give back the money...pretending they have already started cooking whereas everything is already ready and they are only warming up stuff... So at the end, we take our meal, the chicken was super dry and the sauce had nothing to do with tikka sause except the spicy side... Instead of this horrible place, if you like indian food, just go to Amrit restaurant: wonderful service, very polite, amazing food and then at the end you are happy to leave a tip instead of being robbed from the beginning.

Ok but the girl next to me ate her food and had no problem))) never mind I thought...luxury stores in Berlin have strict policies, behave yourself))) so 10 minutes later i could finally enter the perfume department. I searched for a specific perfume, named it 5-6 times to the assistant but he kept rolling his eyes as if i just made it up and know nothing of niche perfume brands...))) had to google it and show the picture to prove that the perfume exists! This very fact kind of perplexed him)) Bottom line: i didnt feel comfortable at all, the experience is not worth it. Gallerie la fayette next door is better. PS: and no the selection of perfumes did not impress me at all. Online retailers from Munich and Hamburg offer a much more interesting selection.

Date of visit: May 31, 2024…read more My husband is very picky, which can make traveling to foreign countries interesting when it comes time to eat! After our initial plans for dinner fell through, we came upon Frittenwerk. I certainly appreciated the kiosks out front to let me know what they have without having to try and decipher the menu with my limited German. I had been meaning to try a currywurst and figured this was as good a time as any to give it a whirl while my husband went with chicken sticks and fries. My currywurst was excellent, I would definitely recommend it to anyone that hasn't had one yet. The fries were decent but the chicken sticks were pretty bland and would be a terrible meal without some sort of dipping sauce. Loved the ordering where they assign you a name instead of you entering one for them to butcher and staff was very friendly, too!

I tried the fries that had some aioli, cilantro and pomegranate seeds.

The churros were surprisingly good for Germany and they came with a dipping dark chocolate to sweeten the deal. Will go back whenever craving some not-so healthy snacks for sure!
