It's really a mix of several Indian cuisines and don't get misled my the name, they have a fairly extensive selection. The do's (1) Please try their vadas (deep fried lentil donuts) as they are fresh and crispy (2) the coconut chutney was really well done (3) yellow lentils are a good preparation as well. 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.

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.

By far one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to!…read more Let me sum this up for you without all the nonsense: - The owners are genuinely lovely people, making sure your meal is the way you want it to be. - It's CHEAP! Student and family- friendly for sure. - The portions are sizable. You'd have to be an annoying besserwisser to say you're hungry when you're about to leave the place. I had to take half of my biriyani home once as I couldn't finish it, and I love that stuff! - They have happy hour cocktails ALL THE TIME. €3.50 for classics and exotic stuff you've never heard about before. The mango pina colada was delishhhhh. - The atmosphere has the oriental touches you'd expect. Relaxed, with comfy seats, and with all that delicious food you're about to dig into you need that in order to recover from your food coma.... For those who are not into the hotness of spicy indian food I'd recommend the mango chicken. It's the most tender piece of white meat soaked in mango goodness you'll ever taste and you'll be crying rivers when you start spotting the bottom of your plate as the food starts to make its way to your tummy. Just so you're prepared...!

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.
