    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.

    II feel bad for all the bad ratings for the restaurants in Prenzlauer Berg that habe 4.5+ ratings…read moreon google and yelp. We went to Zaika with low expectations cause the good ratings for restaurants in Prenzlauer Berg didn't really convinced us so far. And unfortunately we were again disappointed and don't understand any of the food ratings. I am still looking for a good Indian restaurant In Berlin. The best dish was the bhatura bread. The appetizer mix is just baked fried greasy oily vegetables served with sauce by the side. Everything is very heavy and we simply didn't enjoy the taste or the protein (fish and shrimp). We left dissatisfied and wished to have rather not eaten at all for dinner and ended up paying 40€. Bottom line: taste and completely not worth it.

    If it's authentic and quintessential Indian fare you're craving (and that means rich, flavourful,…read moreand decadent), especially the hearty dals and curries of the North, then Vedi's Indian Restaurant should be at the top of your list. The ambience is decidedly psychedelic with captivating paintings and installations of Indian Gods sourced from Bali, Indonesia. A flamboyant golden bar and vivid fuchsia lighting succeed in conveying that the restaurant is also a lounge and cocktail bar. There is ample seating space for couples, families, and even business groups seeking a little privacy. But of course, the main highlight is the food, complemented by heady, generous-sized, and very competitively-priced cocktails. Mr. Wadhwa was kind enough to order a bespoke vegetarian platter for us. The samosas, cheese rolls, and aloo tikkis (potato patties) were huge, and rested on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lime wedges. The samosa's crust was flaky and crisp, just as we expected, while the tikkis were reminiscent of hash browns. But the luscious cheese rolls were the best of the three - soft and lightly tangy with a golden covering. The flavours are definitely true to India but not excessively spicy. If you'd like to experience the fiery side of Indian cuisine, ask to taste a little of what the staff is going to be having for dinner. We tasted (or actually, more than tasted. Sorry lovely staff at Vedi's!) the kadhi pakora, a dish of simmered yogurt-based gravy studded with fried onion pakoras, and it was like being back in the by-lanes of dusty Rajasthan. The real star of our meal, just as Mr. Wadhwa predicted, was the humble dal makhni. Ah, the pure pleasure of piling creamy, ghee-doused dal on fragrant basmati rice and allowing the comforting richness to flood one's mouth. It's certainly a must-have. Cocktails at Vedi's Indian Restaurant are jumbo-sized, and priced at just €4.90. We tried the strawberry-coloured Miss India (Malibu rum and fruit juices), the electric blue Love Kush (sort of like a long island iced tea with vodka, tequila, white rum, and blue curacao), candy-toned Singh is King (a surprise because the name was so masculine! - white rum, triple sec, grenadine) and Prince of Delhi (Old Monk - yay! with yogurt, coconut milk and two other kinds of rum).

    Yelp gets it right…read more Four stars. Had a pleasant and interesting Tandoori Mutton. Far better than any Tandoori I have had in the United States. A pale shade of the "to die for" memorable Tandoori Duck I had at Sadhu in Kreuzberg. Everything else was pretty normal. I suppose I should give the second best in my entire life version of a dish five stars. But I just can't get the Sadhu duck out of my mind.
