This was an Indian restaurant in Berlin with an upside down McDonald's emblem on its window, so it was easy to recognize. My cousin and I shared a platter recommended by the waitress. We thought it was supposed to have meat but we could only find very tiny pieces. It wasn't my favorite but I'd say it's definitely a unique place in that you can get Indian, Mexican, and Hawaiian food all in one place. It's a good place to check out. read more

First Indian meal in Berlin and I was not disappointed! I ordered the Thali (€10), which consists of two different curries, basmati rice, potatoes, chutney, and naan. The portion size of the dish intimidated me, but I devoured that monster within a matter of minutes because it was so damn tasty. I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation and quality of the meal, especially after hearing that I should avoid Indian food and stick to the döners while in Berlin. Overall, I will definitely be coming back here when I eventually need to satisfy my craving for Indian food. read more

Loved so much about this place! The location was super easy to get to, the neighborhood was adorable, and the food was really good. I'm a sucker for naan so I may be a little bias but I thought this meal was amazing. Their naan was super high quality for the price range. You're able to eat outside here, & I highly recommend doing so because you can't beat this environment. Please go here if you have the time! read more

W- Der Imbiss - Thafi! Huge portion of food! - Food Stands Near Me - Berlin, BE

Not sure what the big deal is about this place. My boyfriend and I went last night and ordered the tasting menu, which was priced at 15€. When the dude saw there were two of us, he jacked the price up to 20€. Ok, whatever. That with two sodas = 25€. What we got was definitely not worth the price. 1. We essentially ordered a measly pile of couscous, a bean quesadilla (not sure how this is Indian/Thai/whatever the restaurant is supposed to be), two tiny pieces of salmon, two dips, and a wrap that was filled with salad and pretty much inedible. 2. Nowhere on the menu did it say what was actually on the "tasting menu." 3. Nowhere on the menu did it say that if you were a party of 1+, you would have to pay more. I wouldn't come back here and wouldn't recommend it to anyone, not only because the food sucks/TOTALLY expensive, but I have no idea what the food here is supposed to be. Total fail. read more

W Der Imbiss is definitely not one of those places a TON of tourists are flocking too. It's one of those places you have to find deep in your guide book, but when you do find it, you are more than impressed. It' was fantastic. My friends and I decided to head here after reading about it in Lonely Planet, and when we walked in, we were hit with the GREAT smells! It smelled like heaven. There are a LOT of great Indian options from Naan Pizza to thali to dosa. I tried the naan pizza with olive tapenade, parm cheese, and arugala - and it was HUGE. The serving sizes here are really big for the price (great bang for your buck). I even took mine home and finished it the next day. Definitely trek here if you can - but be warned, it's a tiny space! read more

I come here 3 times a week and the food is delicious, but today the owner came and yelled at us for not tipping. My family is in town from America and not only do they tip, but they tip like Americans (usually after our meals). He took the time to walk out to our table and yell at us in front of the entire restaurant for not tipping. We were going to, but clearly didn't after that. So rude and off putting for a place I frequent. read more

Easy, simple but fresh and tasty food. Vegan and vegetarian. Not too many dishes. However enough to chose from. And again very fresh. Tables are in- and outside. read more

Went last night & very strange, but fun place. Unusual vegetarian fusion dishes, that were surprising like naan pizza. Some things (like the wrap) were style over function as it really was impossible to eat & I just ended up taking it apart & eating it like a salad. Cost was fine, but the wrap again wasn't a great value. Our naan pizza & wrap were each 6-7 euro and did us okay for the night. Space is incredibly cosy with oddball 70's tiki decor. It was a funny little place that we enjoyed, but not necessarily a must go. read more

LOVED this tiny little eatery in Prenzlauer Berg. We stopped as part of a food tour and had the pizza with guacamole "sauce" and the dirty naan. Both delicious and both large portions. There was a case for cold drinks (beer included). Seating both inside and outside. Great lunch spot for sure. read more

I live just down the block (for the summer anyway). I've been by a few times, and the anti-McDonald's logo caught my eye, so I finally decided to stop in the other day with some friends. The menu is, as stated by other reviewers, a sort of weird fusion menu. However, the quesadilla I had was fantastic. Very well done, with a perfect gooey black bean and cheese filling. It was fairly spicy too. I returned tonight and had the fish tacos. They were a bit pricey, but for a plate of 4 large fish tacos on a bed of tasty salad greens, 10 euros isn't that bad I guess. (Although, I have to say I don't understand why the tacos were served skewered on a kebab stick.) Anyway, this is one of my favorite places in Berlin so far. It's quite a bit tastier than a lot of other places on the block. I'll definitely be back. read more

Must Try! I was recently traveling through Berlin + stopped by Der Imbiss for the Naan + Lentil soup and OH BOY was it amazing! For $10 I had enough food for 3 meals, this was by far one of my favorite restaurants in Berlin + oh so tasty! read more

A dirty naan here makes for a large, deliciously spicey Ubersnack. This eatery has a unique vibe to it and by the look of the other punters food, it is somewhere I need to come back to. Decent prices too. Qype sticker in the window! read more

Delicious Indian fusion food! Love the idea of combining the rich and spicy flavors of Indian food with Western presentations like wraps and pizzas. Menus come in English and German. The space is tiny, cozy, and a great place for a casual lunch. My friend and I got got the Swami Burger (which is actually a wrap) and a couple of naan pizzas and loved everything we ate! read more

The food's delicious. The atmosphere's cozy. The service quick. The prices reasonable. What more could one ask for? A hard to categorize vegan-indian-hipster place to get some tasty naan pizza in the heart of prenzlauer berg. Recommended. read more

I am no vegetarian but the place is surprisingly good. I've tried their Thali which was actually very filling (and being a hardcore carnivore, I rarely feel so if I eat a vegetarian meal). The Naan breads are very, very well prepared and tasty. Vegetarian or not, I recommend this place. read more

Always love the curry in a hurry or the salmon tacos! Self service and ample outdoor seating. It can be super busy at lunchtime. read more

I can't support the positive buzz around this place. My tofu teriyaki was very salty, and that's it. The portion size is fine, but believe me, you can get a much better vegan meal for 8 euros. read more

Funny and peculiar little place in Mitte/Prenzlauer Berg. Perfect place to have some cool indian fussion food. Last time we ordered the naan pizza with salmon and was completely delicious. We will come back! read more

Gordon the Scharfmeister: This is a very interesting experience. Don't be fooled wih the outside looks.. go inside an better ask Gordon to suprise you fish is his main thing. Forget the menu, give Gordon carte blanche just say him your level of sharpness tolerance ;-) And TIP is not a place in China.. mind you. read more

Best Indian food in town. After living in London for 10 years, the city with the best Indian restaurants, I was hunting for an authentic delicious Indian in Berlin. And found this tiny place by chance. If you are seeking Indian heaven on earth, this little shoebox of a take away provides you with big taste sensations. I shall be back; once a week at least. read more

Amazing good food and especially compared to the other Indian restaurants around. Nice crew and neighbourhood. We love to go there.

First English-language review! I wonder if it's because this place is so hard to find...however, regardless of any perils to English speakers, this place is worth it. What you get is a "pizza" comprised of gigantic made-to-order naan topped with almost anything you can think of. In my case, it was a mountain of spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and goat cheese. Yum yum yum. Seating is pretty cramped inside, so you have to hunt for a spot on one of the benches. I imagine it's much easier in the summer, when it's warm enough to sit at the tables outside. read more

Cozy and quirky spot with really great curry. I had the pleasure of going twice for lunch while on business in the neighborhood. It's easy to see how the soup + naan would be a go-to in colder months. read more

Try the awesome and big Swami Burger!

Don't really like tourists. After asking if the whole menu is vegan and getting a positive answer i almost got a fish course. The courses were large and tasty though. read more

Super cool, super small spot near Mitte. If you need tons of meat on your plate this place is not for you. However, the salmon is cooked to perfection and the veggie/vegan dishes are also very good. I am a huge meat lover myself but I would definitely come here again (if I wasn't so busy trying other places). I strongly recommend the taster's menu which features a bit of everything. read more

I liked this place overall. Bit small and menu is hard to navigate and understand but quality is good

Great food but for an "Imbiss" ie sans restroom is rather pricey. The fiis again is excellent and I eat there regularly. Very highly recommended also for tourists who want something fast and great. Don't try the usual stuff. Try the Indian "Thali" and Salmon tandoori. Though the owner is a bit arrogant. Overheard him complaining s few years about "I don't know what's wrong with Germans and not tipping" -- dear owner here in Germany we have better social services that don't let waiters etc rely solely on tips for income. He is cocky but if you ignore him is a good place. read more

Eccentric, berlin experience. Indian, vegetarian fare. Enjoyed the tasters menu with lots of little cups of curried vegetables: cauliflower with coconut, potatoes with mustard seed, lentils, salmon, naan, vegetable wrap, etc.The coolest part is the wood oven next to the cash register where they throw the naan against the side and wait for it to puff up. This restaurant is somewhere between an imbiss or stand and a restaurant so don't expect much in the way of service. No plastic accepted - that's the berlin way, though. Limited and potentially stuffy seating inside - more room at the outside tables, weather permitting - can be cramped when busy. Nice staff. We will be back when in the mood for a basic, vegetarian, ethnic experience. read more

Super cool completely non-traditional imbiss. Run by a garrulous, passionate American, and decorated with knick-knacks and paraphernalia from all over. I had the quesadilla and give it a thumbs up. Yummy black beans, fresh purple onions and lettuce, good tortilla. Huge serving size. They seem to do their most trade in a nan pizza, using nan dough cooked in their real tandoori oven, and served with spinach and cheese on top. Be aware that due to limited cooking space and a start from scratch approach, you may have to wait a bit. Inside space is very limited, but there are tables outside. Very convenient to the Zionkirche M1 tram stop. read more

Amazing food!! Totally vegetarian.. And it can be vegan friendly if you ask.. And you can easily find something for everyone! Great location too :) read more

Amazing restaurant! There's never a time I would say no to go here! Their food is truly Indian and is so delectable! A treasure for locals! One should go here to see what the tourists are missing out. The street on which the restaurant is located is also a very nice street. It has many bars where people can go and get drinks. Also very good for a simple walk. A must visit in my opinion. read more

amazing food a lot for veggies great soups fresh stuff. Its some kind of srilankan/indian fusion food and leaves your belly smiling. there is nothing on the menu that is not a large and tastey portion. much better than the stupid bar next door! read more

Overall, not bad. Inventive food and pretty tasty. My biggest complaint is that, in my opinion, they over cook their naan pizzas - I like it chewy. I tried the tandoori salmon, and thought it was good, too. Prices are higher than a normal imbiss, but still reasonable. read more

The vegan soup was amazing, spicy and fresh from good ingredients the service was great. I'm sure I will come back :)

The Thrill is gone.Angepasste Langeweile. Neue Anrichteweise als versteckte Preiserhöhung

A lot of tastes mixed up, some get completely lost, like the artichoke or guacamole. Great bread though.

The tasting plate was generous portion size for two people. We really liked the flavors of all the Indian dishes. The black bean quesadilla was delicious too. Some dishes were a bit too salty for us. That's the reason I gave it a four star instead of five. read more

Love this place; their thalis are tasty and the small one is big enough for a hungry lassie. Indian food is in general not great in Berlin, but here they do a couple of Indian dishes that are wonderful. read more
