I used to get a plate of free Pappadums for free as an entry, when I asked for some today i got them, but they were OLD, so I asked for freshly prepared ones. (When it's free it's ok to be yesterday's (strange logic)) PAPPADUMS; since they stop giving it out free the frequency of my visits has shrunk to once a month from once a week or every other week, So their income has ben diminished by around 75 Euros per month, just by being mean with the pappadums. Otherwise the quality is good

It took a while to get there and I am SO glad I did. Walking in the owner lady was obviously very busy with the service, but she made sure to stop and welcome me and get me to a table right away. The smell that one is hit with as you enter will give you the smile you know that will come with great Indian food. After looking over the excellent menu offerings, I opted for the duck (ente) tikka. It was sizzling at it hit the table and the only bad thing is that I had to let it cool off just a bit before jumping it. A painful wait. But that said, I absolutely loved it. The duck was perfectly cook and the spice combination was excellent. Just great all the way around. And the owner came by several times to check on me and I know why she is smiling all the time, because everyone is killing what they serve. Well worth the effort to get there.

Every member of staff is pleasant & delightful - this is good Indian hospitality with a meal...

Best Indian food, ever…read more Restaurant is very nice and the wait staff is incredibly friendly. They were attentive and helpful and always on point. Lentil donut appetizer tasted super savory with a distinct donut flavor and a hearty, but light filling. The bean paste on the side added a mild tang to the mix. I was super surprised by how good this was. Absolutely a must try. Mango Chicken was sweet, fresh, and thick in it's flavors. It even had fresh mango in it! Easily the best dish of everything we had. Butter chicken was light and the broth was runnier than most I've had. It had a very unique tang to it and was delicious, but didn't quite give me the same sense of awe as the mango chicken. The garlic naan was super thin and crispy, not tearable. It had a robust garlic flavor and was a nice addition to our curries. I would've preferred tearable, thicker naan, but it still was good. We also had a mango lassi that is a must have whenever you get Indian food. It's basically mango yogurt as a drink and it's a great pallette cleanser and way to reduce spice levels in your mouth. Overall this was the best Indian food I've ever had. I'm sad it's in Berlin and not where I'm from. It's going to spoil my idea of what Indian food should taste like in America.

But this place is nice and affordable. Supposedly I has been here for many years and is a well established place. Decor: Nice, warm colors, comfortable and an exotic atmosphere. I felt instantly drawn to the place, as I saw the giant "Om" symbol () painted on the wall. (This is certainly a personal choice and liking.) The place must have been renovated recently as it looks nice and clean. Tables are clean and there is plenty of space in between chairs. It appears that in the summer one can sit outside under the nicely lit awning. Staff: Super friendly, happy owners (or workers). They greeted me friendly, were very attentive, kind and respectful. Food: They have a large selection on your traditional Indian foods, the menu is very clear and easy to read. Prices are very fair and portions are big. The great thing is that you are served pieces of a type of Bathura bread for free. My food was great. I always ask for spicy and they told me they can make any dish spicy. And they did! Loved the spice. Drinks: They have also alcoholic beverages. All in all, this package fits! And I will be coming back over and over and over again.

Besides that it's really nice to have an Indian restaurant close by, it's also very cheap. For example I ordered my favorite Indian dish - Malai Kofta for 6.5 Euros. The service on the day we went there was a bit slow, since they had a very big group that ordered at the exact same time like us, and there was only one waiter working there. The food is just amazing! it's the first time I tasted Malai Kofta with pineapple in the sauce, and it's really good! I highly recommend this little awesome place!

Saravanaa Bhavan is one of the great Indian restaurant chains of the world…read more The West is finally starting to appreciate what Saravanaa Bhavan has been trying to do all along. Most great cities now have rivals to Saravanaa Bhavan that command respect. The fact that there are other centers of excellence out there does nothing to diminish Saravanaa Bhavan's historical accomplishment. * * * Saravanaa Bhavan is a chain of South Indian vegetarian restaurants in Chennai that expanded first across India itself, and then followed the Indian diaspora to set up satellite restaurants all over the world. The number of Saravanaa Bhavan's in a city reflects less the overall stature of a city in the global urban hierarchy and more reflects the size of the South Indian population that has migrated to that city. Berlin has one Saravanaa Bhavann. The Dallas Metro area has three. Berlin outranks Dallas in the Global Cities Hierarchy But Dallas has the large population of Tamil immigrants. That said, the successful implantation of Saravanaa Bhavan's all over the world is impressive. They operate nearly 100 restaurants in twenty eight different countries not counting their substantial operations in India itself. * * * Saravanaa Bhavan's culinary accomplishment was twofold. a) They introduced much of the world to South Indian vegetarian food. In much of the world, they would have been the first restaurant to serve dosas, idli, and the distinctive South Indian rather than north Indian curries. b) They introduced much of the world to Indian Chinese food - the reinterpretation of Chinese food that was developed in India. Gobi Manchurian - one of the most intoxicating dishes on the planet - would have had its first serving in many cities in a Saravanaa Bhavan. Their menu was huge. They included North Indian as well as South Indian specialties. You could eat at a Saravanaa Bhavan for weeks and never repeat a dish. And the execution was absolutely positively excellent. Nearly everything that came out of their kitchen was to die for. * * * Saravanaa Bhavan is just as good today as it ever was. However, as the flow of South Indian immigrant professionals grew and grew, the number of South Indian immigrant restauranteurs grew as well. There was money to be made serving the great dishes from home ... And more and more people went to the exotic cities of the world to re-create those fine South Indian dishes in foreign locations. So now all of those cities have many places you can go where you can get absolutely wonderful South Indian and Indian-Chinese vegetarian dishes. I live in Austin, Texas which does not have a Saravanaa Bhavan - but has a vast number of South Indian software engineers, professors and doctors. They eat at Sangam Chettinad which is an absolutely superlative establishment. * * * That said, I will always grab a chance to eat at a Saravanaa Bhavan if there is one in the city I am in. One tip that may be helpful. Don't put your food on the white rice that accompanies most of their dishes. The flavors of Saravanaa Bhavan's dishes are so wonderful that you do not want to dilute them. Putting their food on plain rice is like serving their food on Wonder Bread. Eating their stuff straight up though is like dying and going to heaven. Except that the next day you get reincarnated and can do the same thing again.
