2 person set meal for 23€... I love Berlin! We decided to…read moreorder the 23€ set menu as it had a variety in the dishes and what seemed to be a lot of food - yep! It was correct. The meal started off with a warm yogi tea, papadams and three dips followed by an entree of vegetable soup. The servings were quite generous for a starter and taste was pretty good - my sister thought the pepper in the papadam was a little overpowering, but I loved it!!! Main consisted of three dishes (Dahl, korma and palak panir) all of which were quite delicious... With this came a salad (not anything too special), basmati rice and crispy Indian naan bread. After the mains - and feeling very full, the waiter brought over a very refreshing bowl of fruit - mango strips and lychee... It was a nice sweet finish to a good meal! There was so much food!! More than enough for two people we ended up taking a goodie bag of leftovers home. And we received a complimentary mango shot when we asked for the bill. Service was fast, food was fresh and atmosphere was pleasant, I'd come back again!

An absolutely outstanding Pakistani restaurant…read more Everything on our table was completely outstanding. But I am going to talk about one and only one dish. The Tandoori Duck. * * * We don't usually do Tandoori duck in the U.S., Although exceptions undoubtedly exist. Germany has the advantage of having excellent ducks Which we don't And having duck being very plentiful on the market. The contrast is that goat, which is common on American Indian-Pakistani menus, almost never shows up on such menus here. Here, you also get mutton. So Duck and Mutton are the two "dark meats" that substitute for goat in Berlin. * * * In a tandoori, Duck is absolutely positively amazing. Triple that if you are dealing with a superior duck with a nice lining of fat over the breast bone. * * * Add to that the fact that the tandoori I have had in Berlin has generally been superior no matter where I get it. The tandoori of my youth tended to be a dry affair with red color meat pure and simple. It was cooked enough to get hot. Otherwise it was nothing special - and it was dry to boot. This is not the tandoori of my youth. All of the tandoori I have been served here in Berlin has had outstanding sauces. The Berlin tandoori also has had vegetables tossed in with the meat. The veggies are cooked to al dente perfection and are bursting with flavor. Is this because Berlin tandoori is better than American tandoori? Or is this because tandoori cooking has gotten better than the grim dishes I used to eat thirty years ago? I don't have an answer to that question. * * * Either way, Put a perfect duck into a tandoori over. Add the perfect sauce. Add vegetables cut at the right size to al dente. You die and go to heaven. But mostly the thrills are the duck, the duck, the duck and then the duck. My wife's food was good, and the other Yelpers say the food is good. So you can't go wrong ordering whatever you like. I still say: Get the Tandoori Duck.

I don't know if we'd go back but maybe I wouldn't get the chicken.

It's really a mix of several Indian cuisines and don't get misled my the name, they have a fairly extensive selection.

(4) one of the mixed vegetable entree had a distinct flavor of some left over fish based preparation - perhaps the same pan was used (we were told that was not the case).

Hierdurch war es natürlich recht laut, aber erträglich. Für ein lauschiges Rendezvous würde sich aber eh ein Italiener anbieten.... Nun zum Essen. Wir waren zu viert und hatten auch recht unterschiedlich bestellt, somit konnten wir super vergleichen. Alle Gerichte waren superlecker, der Knaller jedoch waren die Linsen. Die auf der Karte mit Peperonis markierten Gerichte haben diese Markierung nicht umsonst. Wer nicht wirklich scharfes Essen gewöhnt ist sollte es vielleicht eine Stufe niedriger versuchen oder dies bei der Bestellung erwähnen. Wir hatten einen sehr mäkligen Esser dabei, für den die Küche alle Wünsche umsetzte. Alles in allem ein gelungener Abend. Wir werden mit Sicherheit wiederkommen obwohl wir hierfür einen nicht unerheblichen Fahrweg auf uns nehmen müssen. Es lohnt sich!

If you're looking for authentic Indian food, on the whole, you'll struggle in Germany. Indian…read morecuisine is adapted for the German palate and as they tend to steer away from anything too spicy, the traditional spiciness that much of Indian food is renowned for, is diluted. What they call onion bhajis in this restaurant are poor, low-quality onion rings. Onion coated in a fatty batter. The spicy dishes like madras, jalfrezi and vindaloo are much the same degree of spiciness and flavour as each other... not very. I have always asked for authentic Indian vindaloo (so HOT), and I think that they just put an extra pinch of chilli powder in the sauce. Very disappointing. All very similar sauces. The chicken I believe (and I might be wrong), is mechanically-recovered chicken. It always has the strangest texture. Slightly slimy too..! Not a quality ingredient at all. Dishes are 'well padded out' with potato. What did it for us at our last (and very last) visit was when my partner ordered a glass of water instead of his usual beer. When the bill came we were horrified to see that we had been charged €4,40 for a glass of water. Not a bottle brought to the table, not a pretentious, fancy Italian brand.. just plain water 'mit'. There aren't many choices of authentic Indian restaurants in Germany, in fact, I haven't come across any but I do object to being ripped off with poor quality ingredients and obscenely over-priced water. As locals who live a short walk from Zaika and have recently visited the restaurant on a weekly basis, we won't be going again. The hunt continues for an 'authentic', quality Indian restaurant in East Berlin.

Let's start with what I enjoyed here:…read more The music was great - a good selection of Indian folk music that creates a pleasurable atmosphere. The food was tasty and well-prepared, with generous portions and enough to take home. The service was friendly and hospitable. Why 2 stars, when I'd otherwise have given 4? The sneaky way of doing business. After I placed my order, I was asked if I'd like to try the naan bread. I said, "sure, why not?" I ordered the #56 Paneer Jhaifrezi as my main entree for 9€ and a linsensuppe (#20) for €2.50. Fair and reasonable prices, no complaints here. When I got the bill, they had slapped on a 3.50€ charge for the bread, without even mentioning that there's an extra charge for it. My fault for not asking as I'm learning, but I've been to many Indian restaurants in the area, and none have charged extra for naan. And if they are going to charge, it's sneaky to charge almost half the price of an entree, and more than a soup - just for bread. If they were transparent about the charge, I would have had absolutely no problem with this. I mentioned to the waiter that I wasn't aware that I'd be charged so much for just naan. He said, "Sorry, that's what we charge." No problem, but I probably won't be back here.

Their menu explained the characteristics and ingredients typical of this hard-to-find cuisine and offered an approachable take for those unfamiliar with it. The thing to order from the menu is the "Reistafel," a set menu that came with an appetizer, an array of dishes for the main course, and a dessert. The appetizer was a simple salad of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, and arugula dressed with pumpkin seeds and crushed papadum crackers for crunch. But the main attraction of the Reistafel were the five different items that came as part of the main course, each plated in a separate bowl: white rice, a coconut milk curry with fried eggplant, red lentils, a meat curry of choice (I had the lamb), and Pol Sambole (shredded coconut seasoned with chilies). Every item that came with the Reistafel was delicious and mildly spiced, though I was especially a fan of the red lentils for their creamy texture and the Pol Sambole (coconut sambar) for its earthy flavor. With all the dishes came a condiment made of fried red chilies in oil, which added an amazing aromatic, spicy crunch to every bite! At the end of the meal came a Sri Lankan dessert called Mikiri, a thick, tangy buffalo milk yogurt dressed with a syrup made of jaggery. Overall, the food at Sigiriya was beautifully presented and came with friendly service in an elegant atmosphere. Though the flavors/spices of the dishes seemed to be toned down, the menu here presented a great, approachable introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine!
