This place is an absolute gem! I've been struggling to find restaurants in Berlin with actual spicy and flavorful food and Mabuhay hit the spot! I tried the rendang and fried tempe, both of which I highly recommend! Super authentic and family run restaurant! read more

Small unassuming storefront with scrumptious Indonesian food. Worth seeking out when in Berlin, Germany. Friendly, English speaking staff. read more

We arrived a few minutes before the small restaurant open but we received a warm welcome. There was not much of an Indonesian flair and the food was average. read more

Mabuhay - Gado-Gado - Indonesian Near Me - Berlin, BE

First sketchy thing: The location - on the map it seems to be central but when you actually walk there you'd think it's in a garage or something Second sketchy thing: The price - seriously its so cheap that you might thing the quality must be so shitty, the portions so small or you get diarrhea the next day. 5€ for a whole lunch meal with two spring rolls. 6€ for Chinese duck with vegetables shrimps and so on. What? Now the surprise: the meal size was ok, the taste not bad and quality for that price also ok. Overall unbeatable price to value ratio! If you work or live close by or are on a budget this is your spot! Don't expect a cozy interior or great service when you pay that price. read more

Mabuhay - Lunch Menü Rice with tofu - Indonesian Near Me - Berlin, BE

Food: 4.0/5.0 Service: 2.0/5.0 Value: 4.5/5.0 Decor: 2.0/5.0 Overall: 4.0/5.0 Great food for Germany, good food for southeast Asia. Service was docile/friendly indeed, but it was excruciatingly slow. I have a feeling I know why it may have happened but I'm going to withhold my speculation. Would still come back. read more

Great food, fantastic portions and prices. Incredibly kind people who made the dining experience absolutely outstanding

Great little Indonesian restaurant near Tiergarten. The owner is super friendly and the place is cozy. Service w was great and food came quickly. The nasi goreng with duck was a star - huge portion of duck. read more

This is a hidden gem!!! The price is so affordable you would not believe it. Food is great and will definitely be back when I'm in Berlin! Plus they serve beer bintang! read more

Mabuhay - Indonesian Near Me - Berlin, BE

Hidden gem alert: 5 stars for perfect execution of cheap, authentic, Indonesian food. The food was outstanding & freshly prepared by the order. I'm glad I went to Tuk-tuk prior & not afterwards- I would have been disappointed by the food quality comparison. Tuktuk is good & a bit more upgraded atmosphere... But now this is my new favorite Indonesian. The restaurant is really no-frills, bells or whistles at all...do not get dolled up to come here... Just bring your appetite, cash (no debit/credit cards accepted), and a positive attitude. Reservations are a good idea because the seating is extremely limited..My Date & i Lucked out & got seats....I think we were the only non-Indonesian patrons there. . Yum!! read more

My chicken seemed old or overcooked. Really hard and dry in my curry. Didn't taste like anything extraordinary or unique that you couldn't get from another Asian restaurant. Cheap and so so food. They also sat me in a plywood shack out back. read more

Maybe these yelp reviews set expectations too high or I simple wasn't super lucky with my order (Tofu and Green Bean Curry and Chicken Satay). The food was good but not outstanding and the portion was rather small. Maybe that was because it was take out? The menue is not very extraordinairy and even though I've never been to an Indonesian restaurant before (not speaking of Indonesia haha) I didn't find much new or interesting items on the menu that I wouldn't have seen somewhere else before. What surprised me was that she asked me if I minded a little wait because they needed to cook rice. I was there around 6.45pm, so perfect dinner time and the restaurant was fairly busy but not super crowded. Anyhow, I can recommend to go at least once to try, since the food is good in taste but I wouldn't make this my new weekly hangout. PS: The prices are fairly cheap! read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past it but omg it was the best Indonesian food I've ever had! It was quality chicken (ayam curry) and sauce for a great price. I never write reviews but I highly recommend this place read more

Very simple interior but the food and the very friendly staff make it worth a visit. Its quite hidden and took me some time to find, but I think it was def worth it. I am half indonesian, I know what good Indo-Food is. And this is definately is! read more

Mabuhay was the first place we dined at after arriving in Berlin. It's is a hidden gem.. literally! The staff are very friendly and the service is great. The restaurant is small so it is better to reserve a table in advanced. The meal was so so good and great value too! read more

Traveling from Brunei and happened upon this cute Indonesian restaurant. I wasn't expecting to get such delicious, authentic Indonesian food so far from South East Asia! I had the ayam pecel (fried chicken with spicy sambal with rice, tofu and tempeh) and my husband had the nasi goreng ayam (chicken fried rice). We both left feeling very satisfied! The service was also impeccable - super friendly and fast. We met the owner who was quirky, funny and very welcoming. All in all, we had a great time and would easily recommend this to anyone! read more

Mabuhay - Nasi goreng ayam, gulai tofu (vegetable curry) and ayam pecel - delicious! - Indonesian Near Me - Berlin, BE

Quick, filling, and scrumptious first encounter with Indonesian food! I had the rendang, a classic Indonesian dish consisting of braised beef and green beans coated in a paste with ginger, chili, and spices. I barely finished my dish and could not move for a good 10 minutes. My boyfriend had the duck orange, a fried duck breast in a tasty orange glaze, which was also delicious. We arrived around 19:00 and grabbed the very last spot outside, in the little straw hut. It was a random Tuesday night and a line started forming for the restaurant shortly after we arrived. Mabuhay is evidently a favorite among locals, so get there early! read more

Indonesian dishes are pretty well presented. As a native Indonesian, dishes with chilli sauce (sambal terasi, cabe ijo, sambal pecel, etc) are incredible! You can also request the level of spicyness to be increased (scharf) if you really can handle it. One negative side is there are only a few tables there. The place is not spacious (big). I suggest you to book a table if you want to go there. Usually there are many people coming during peak hours for lunch (12.00 -13.30) or dinner (19.00 - 20.00). read more

Mabuhay - Ayam rica-rica (Spicy rica2 sauced fried chicken) - Indonesian Near Me - Berlin, BE

Small yet really cute. A gem of a place. The food is exceptionally good for an unbelievably low cost. A must visit if in the area. We were thrilled to have found it read more

This place is legit. If you want some cheap food in the area there isn't anything bad at this place, and everything averages at about 6€ to fill you up as much as you need. read more

Was there this evening with my friends, we ordered Sop Iga (ribs soup), Rendang, Batagor, Sambel goreng udang (fried shrimp with chili). Rendang and batagor were really good, sambal goreng udang was also good but quite oily.. And the price there are really worth to try!!! read more

Mabuhay - Indonesian Near Me - Berlin, BE

One of my favourite places in Berlin. It's nothing fancy, with a kind of plastic table top feel, but the food is cheap and excellent. So far I've tried the beef rendang (more than once), Gado Gado and Nasi Goreng. It's always rammed - so for groups you'll need to reserve a spot. The only critique is that I'm never able to find concrete opening times anywhere - and I've had to return home disappointed and or hungry. I know that the place was closed for the month of January - thankfully it's been open since then. read more

Mabuhay - Nasi Goreng - Indonesian Near Me - Berlin, BE

This place gets pretty busy, but it's not the sort of place where you get a reservation as it's really a local watering hole. Delicious food. There is outdoor seating which is great if you can handle the colder weather in the winter months. Worth a try for sure. read more

As an Indonesian, sometimes I have the urge to eat some Indonesian food, be whatever it is. I have known this place for quite a while, but only couple of months ago I have the chance to finally visit it. After that, I've been to this place for 2 more times, and everytime, it never disappoint! I know that it's not easy to ask for the authentic Indonesian food in Berlin, but if I have to say, this place comes close to it. The Indonesian dishes that I tried, Soto Ayam, Rendang, and Nasi Timbel, all very much within my expectations. It was very good. And good price as well, not so expensive, perfect for a student like me. On the first look, the place is not so inviting, because it's located just right next to a student dorm. But once you get over that, you will love this place, I would say. I would totally recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like to try any Indonesian dishes, no question about it. read more

Again it's decent Southeast Asian food but it seems quite heavily Germanized in its style, with simplified flavors and weird pairings of vegetables. I might have given it 4 stars had I ordered a curry-based meal rather than fried noodles, though. read more

Packed with a line but moves fast. All the food was amazing! Spring rolls and Bihun Goreng were delicious. read more

It's a great place for a quick lunch. Staff are friendly and the food is really good!

Food was great, staff was really friendly, not expensive & laidback atmosphere - definitely recommend!

The food is on the heavier side, but that is probably to be expected with street styled Indonesian food. 5 Stars because I love the tastes. read more

Love this little very inexpensive "hole in the wall" place. All patio seating and quite busy. Have English menu. Staff very friendly and efficient. Had the spring rolls, Duck with curry and chicken sate. All were fresh and tasty. Saw a lot of other good dishes being served. read more

Authentic Indonesian taste! Big portion costs less than EUR 10, everything comes with rice and EUR 5 for Mittagsmenu. Make sure to check the blackboard by the entrance for some seasonal dishes they don't put on the Speisekarte. Tips: call to make reservation, especially during the cold months. Seating is limited. read more

5-6 euros for indonesian food??? Man, I love this place! I tried the nasi goreng bebek, batagor, pecel lele and gado2. They were all good! Definitely recommended! read more

Noodles with beef and duck curry, as recommended may times before, was fabulous and paired well with affordable Berliner beer (2.50e per half-liter). Also started with wontons in chicken soup that hit the spot on this chilly night. Service from the young gentleman was great. We arrived at 845 and claimed the last two seats, and an hour later (past closing time) most of the customers are still hanging out and ordering drinks. This was a refreshing change for two Asian-descent tourists who have had too much heavy German food and were seeking a taste of home read more

A great example of fine food and poor management. The food was fresh, veggies crisp, duck curry spicy. A 5 on food. However, the menu was a joke. Of 30 items listed only 5 were available. Meals were served to us 20 minutes apart, so 1 of us finished eating before the other had been served. There was a wait for tables and no one could manage a list of names for who would receive the next open table. read more

We landed in Berlin, tired and hungry. We were staying at a hotel nearby and came here for dinner, assuming they take credit card. We had a great meal and in the middle we realize to ask if they take credit card, and it turns out they do not - cash only. But the owner was very friendly with us and told us we can just pay him back another day, and he said so with a smile on his face. It was such a warm welcome to his city of Berlin. We did have dollars since we were coming from the United States, and he said no problem pay in dollars or come back another day with euros. He was very kind and genuine and it gave us positive energy. Pretty memorable. We ended up paying in dollars. The food by the way was delicious and really really reasonably priced for the quality. read more

This is a unpretentious restaurant which can be found in a backyard next to student accommodation. The surroundings are not particularly remarkable and I'm being understated. The food is very nice though and this is the most important point after all, it has a home-made, street food kind of style and the atmosphere is friendly. A couple run the restaurant as a "Hobby", I hope they continue to do so because I will be going back. read more

my favorite lunch place. I go there like 3 times a week. All authentic, good price. I think I already tried every dish from the menu. Fried rice and Rendang are my favourite. Also try the Ice Tea. It is similar to thai ice tea. read more

Nice small restaurant but tasty and not expensive food. It is a bit hard to find it, but smell will leading you. Ideal for lunch time

The best Indonesian food I have ever had. Good sized portions served relatively quickly for a very good price. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a budget eat in Berlin. read more

Amazing and authentic Indonesian food with great prices and large portions. Most of the food tasted like they were from the Sumatra/Bali region. We had beef rendang, crispy duck with mixed vegetables and rice, crispy duck with curry and rice, bihun goreng and plenty of kerupuk to boost. Dessert was goreng pisang with vanilla ice cream. Everything that was laid on our table was 100% authentic and tasted wow. We had 6 different kinds of Chilli and Sambal and just perfect with kerupuk and rice. The service was outstanding and this is a place we would visit over and over again. Highly recommended hole in the wall and come very hungry! read more

The location is quite hidden but it is great. Great food, great staff and great price. No regrets
