This place is five minutes away from where I stay and I have passed it many times with the intention of visiting but never got around to it. I don’t know anything about German cuisine so when an opportunity came up where a group of foodies decided to explore the place I jumped at it. This review is split into two visits and only for vegetarian food. I'll list which ones are a hit and which ones were a miss for me because there were a lot of dishes!
FIRST VISIT:
In an upstairs area booked exclusively for our group because we were a lot of us. Lots of flies greeted us though which was managed by incense. What all we had and my views
Chocolate tart - hit
Lemon cake – miss ..too hard
Pretzel – Miss. Tough and tasteless
Veg breakfast platter with cutlets, paneer fried cubes, sauce and cut fruits - Hit. It was more Indian than German, but quite filling.
Pretzel with cheese and caramelized onions - hit
German black forest cake - hit (except for the base of the cake which was quite hard)
Avocado toasties - Miss
Classic French fries . ..this is usually a hit anywhere.
SECOND VISIT (by myself)
Hot chocolate - Hit, but I've tasted better
Lemon Berliner – Hit
Herbed garlic bread – hard, and insipid. Lacks flavor or scent of herbs. Some of the garlic breads I’ve had in other places have been awesome!
Service is prompt. The guy at the counter needs to smile more.
Every bread based dish..the bread was very hard. Not sure if that's how it's meant to be but definitely not my thing.
I wish they added some extra touches for takeaways – like the butter in a small container for pretzel or anything to go with the herbed garlic bread…little things count. I had to use my own sauce, butter at home.
The place is usually occupied. Nice for friends get together
Would I recommend this place? If you are close by in the area and need to grab something quick. Also maybe non vegetarian eaters may enjoy the cuisine more. They have quite a variety on the menu.
Would I go again? Only for the Berliners and maybe other desserts.
