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.

I am absolutely obsessed with Indian food and my mission is to try all Indian restaurants in Berlin. This restaurant has been recommended by native Indians and it was referred to as "the most authentic Indian food". And I have to say that I now have two favorite Indian restaurants in Berlin. The restaurant is located in Wedding and even on a Thursday evening it was packed. There are plenty of tables inside and in the summer one can also sit outside. However, I can see that on weekends this place might be really busy. The menu has a lot of food items, including deserts, side dishes and a good selection of beers and wines. To my astonishment they have white and red wine from India. I will have to try it once. I ordered one of my favorites: Lamb Vindaloo. Specifically, the Tamil Mutton Vindaloo. Tamil indicates the area it is from (South India). This restaurant serves food from South India and Sri Lanka. The prices are reasonable and the portions are big. I had a hard time finishing my portion and before I ordered, I even considered ordering a soup before my main dish. But because the portion was big, I was glad that I did not order it. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Traditional Indians or Sri Lankans work there in service and in the kitchen. The nice thing about the kitchen is that it is right in the middle of the room and is open, so customers are able to see the cook preparing the meals. What caught my attention and immediately made me feel like the food is going to be great, was the large selection of spices the cook has available on a top shelf. Always a good sign! The food came fairly fast and the waiter´s attention was also great, despite being really busy. There was a large group/meeting that he had to cater to and still did not make me wait. Another good sign was that there were many Indians dining. The reason I gave it only 4 stars is that the restaurant is a bit rundown. The menu was gross, falling apart, and greasy. The table was clean but when looking around, everything really needs some attention (spiderwebs on lamps) and a proper cleaning. Especially because it is an open kitchen and the decor will be affected by it. But for a wonderful and yet very reasonable price range, this place is on my top list to visit again and recommend it.

Service is very uneven. Some days you get a kind gentleman who is very attentive (usually in the evenings). Other times you get a married couple who just ignore you even when you try to call them. The restaurant decor itself is a bit bland and outdated. In the summer you can sit outside and enjoy the sun. My favourites are samosas and the duck vindaloo.

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

Note that entrees are served with rice and salad. (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). In any case, if you are strict vegetarian, please advise the wait staff to ensure proper cleaning. I am sure they would oblige.

But the meat is bit dry especially the chicken pakoras and the chicken tandoori...

We were greeted like family by the owner. His daughters who help with service were very friendly and helpful and they spoke perfect English.

The food was consistently delicious, delivered quickly and portions were generous! We took home leftovers both nights. As well, one in our party has nut allergies. This was not a problem. The owner and his daughters were conscientious about this and we felt safe with their assurances. The atmosphere is cheerful, the restaurant is well maintained and very clean and the service was excellent. Can't wait to return on our next visit!

It was so good, I had to get the name of it, Louis Eschensauer Merlot. I can't wait to have this again! After my meal, I was served a mango shot on the house. I don't know what was in it, but it sure tasted great! Service was awesome on both visits (same staff members). Most guests sat outside but it was pretty humid so I elected to sit inside. The location is great, right across from the Alexa Mall.

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.
