We didn't expect much for such low-priced pizzas and pasta, but we were surprised. The pizzas as well as the pastas are really good, and the staff is so nice and friendly it made my boyfriend's 7-year old (swedish) son name this place his favorite restaurant, even though he doesn't understand German. (The man who I think is the owner even took the time to learn som Swedish phrases, a really nice gesture) For a decent, although not excellent, budget pizza and a cute, nice welcoming atmosphere go to this place!

I'm not a mall person per se but the idea makes sense. Berlin weather can be unpredictable and…read morerather depressing in the winter. Why not have all the essentials under one roof? This shopping mall though overpromises and underdelivers. Located right next to the subway and city train stations, plus being on a very busy street, this mall could be your one-stop for everything. In fact, it's just a collection of cheap and trashy stores, squeezed into a tiny mall that gets crowded easily. The highlights of this mall can be summarized as follows: DEUTSCHE POST: The notoriously unfriendly workers here do their best to scare people away. Unsuccessfully though, as the line is usually very long and you'll wait 20+ minutes just to send a package. FOOD: Surprisingly, there is a variety of food options (Doner Kebab, sushi, fried fish, (somewhat) Vietnamese, sandwiches, ice cream, fresh cut fruits). However, first you have to place your order over the counter with folks that either are bored out of their minds or are as grumpy as you can be. You would think that the sheer fact of having a job would cheer these people up but it definitely takes something else. RANDOM SALES EVENTS: Retail stores can rent out spaces in the middle of the pathway to offer their goods. Many sellers take advantage of that, and that means throughout the year you'll find crap that you don't need (homemade sewed sweaters, organic dog food, or jewelry imported from Cambodia), sold by miserable looking college kids. This mall is unavoidable. Just be prepared.

A collection of stores, not too big it makes you dizzy, and not too small so you find nothing. My…read morepersonal favorites is the electronics store (ofcourse, i am a guy!), and the bread shop in the first floor. They make lovely onion- or olive-flavored breads. The Icrecream shop on the ground floor and the toy shop in the underground floor are frequently visited by me and my daughter, and always impress her with good taste and friendly staff.

It's not like I don't like it, it's just that it is lacking a broader variety of stores…read more There are countless fashion and accessorie stores and a lovely food court but I will never find everything I need in everyday life here. Right now it is remodeling and I really hope that there are going to be different stores moving in.

There is something for everyone there, the variety of shops is big, for example the food court has a variety of vegitarian foods, and in the first floor next to Nordsee there is a healthy foods and fruit shakes stand! It might be misleading but there is a map you can find when you get in, it helps you find your favourite shops easily :) Enjoy your shopping!!

Want to kill time before dinner?…read more Literally a 2 minute walk from the moment you step out of Potsdamer Platz station, Arkaden is a very nice shopping complex with many stores spread over three floors. We easily wasted an hour or so window shopping here. All that walking in Berlin convinced my friend she needed a new pair of sneakers to take back home to the US. She didn't find it here, but she was directed by the helpful staff to another mall. You won't go hungry here as the food options range from full service restaurants to small cafes where you can take a short break. Caffe e Gelato was busy as a bee: the ice cream line moved quickly and I guess in Berlin, even when it's raining, its always ice cream time!

Potsdamer Platz Arkaden is one of the many shopping malls in the German capital of Berlin, it is…read morelocated just around the corner from the Mall of Berlin, the latter being in a much better, central location in Postdamer Platz, close to two metro stations and being a larger and more modern mall alltogether. Potsdamer Platz Arkaden in my opinion really is a big down compared to the other nearby mall, as despite being a decent size over three floors, I find the overall selection of stores to be a little restrictive, for example there isn't even a Starbucks here, albeit that is the same with the Mall of Berlin, and there is a Starbucks on the street leading up to the mall and many others in the Postdamer Platz area so perhaps one right inside, in the heart of the mall, as they have in Alexa for example isn't needed here. There are a few large flagship shops such as H and M, Mango and Wohrl and as I recall Rewe and O2 have a branch here, but overall the selection if restrictive and with a lack of maps around the mall, the layout is also something I found to be confusing, I ended up going up and down every floor looking for a Starbucks only to find out, it is located just outside opposite Pizza Hut and Rewe which was frustrating, there also was a lack of staff and help desks too. In my opinion, Potsdamer Platz Arkaden will always come second to the Mall of Berlin mainly down to it being insuperior in near enough every way, being smaller, less modern and having a more confusing layout with less people to ask for help/maps etc, sadly deserving a single one star rating.
