Super yummy fresh food with amazing spices! Some of the best in Berlin for Indian food

Will recommend this place 100% for South indian cuisine and vibes. I can't believe they played tamil 90s Tamil songs that I grew up listening to. It felt so nostalgic. The food was simply amazing. We bought Masala Dosa and Adu Kari set menu. It was so delicious, and the batter for both dosa and appam was fermented well.

Things were too costly. Additional Taxes were a surprise

Visited the restaurant twice and ordered online twice, always getting the kozhi kottu. Only the first order was well-made—the rest were disappointing. Expected better consistency for my favorite dish. Photos attached: First order

Masala dosa was meh, not good, but not very bad either.

We liked the food and service, very unusual serving of the dish in banana leaves☺️

The only restaurant in the Hamburg / Berlin area where you can eat decent Kottu

They have best indian type food in Berlin. Spicy and yum flavour. Compare to other indian restaurants in berlin, this is one place you shouldnt miss in your list. Try their mango lassi, porotta and chicken dish and biriyani and gulab jamun They have all special food on weekends only. You can call and reserve your table at that place.

Good authentic south indian food .I ordered lamb reis ,which was very good and taste like homely food..And the staff are very polite and friendly especially the staff Guna..he is providing very good service to me..Thanks to Ammamma team ..Highly recommended.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is an exceptional neighborhood restaurant. Incredible flavors and beautifully prepared and presented. Many vegetarian and vegan options. You feel very welcome with great service. We went back to try more. Definitely check this place out.

Very tasty food. Highly recommend.

Very nice host, we were 5 people. We really liked the food and service. We'd love to come back 😋 many greetings from Hamburg ✌🏽

Delicious food and very good service.

We ordered through Wolt and initially received the wrong order. When we asked, they wanted to send us the correct order - but it came back incomplete. There was no willingness to solve the problem

Amazing food for a great price with lovely staff. 100% coming back!

The food was worse, and the service was terrible and rude

Incredible food! So so good and for such a cheap price. This family-run business offers a great atmosphere and a true foodie experience. We highly recommend the cocktails as well. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Lgbt+ friendly.

Service is great! The staff is really friendly. We received our food quickly. The paratha is good. The kottu is also nice, but it lacks Sri Lankan flavor. The gravy used for the kottu should be changed. The chicken also needs to be fried more for better taste. The gravy should have a stronger curry powder flavor. I hope you will improve this in the future!

Super tasty and authentic, spicy if desired. My absolute favorite store ♥️

Very nice service and the food is super good.

We came there to eat as it was said this is a nice place to try Sri-Lanka’s cuisine. Service was so bad, I went out of the cafe being sad. I’ve never experienced this kind of crudeness and the way the owner, I guess, was doing me “a favor” didn’t help and made the experience even worse. I wrote below about the food. Despite Flammen being great I wouldn’t visit this place again. As food ordering shouldn’t be a roulette game, stomachache after visiting a restaurant is Big No-no and employees making you feel guilty for their mistakes is unacceptable About food: My friend ordered Chicken Flammen and it was EXTREMELY good - I fell in love with this dish. Chicken was so soft and juicy, veggies crunchy and all the right size, bread which was part of the dish was hot fresh baked. I’m The Foodie - it’s unbeatable. I ordered smth else (I forgot the name) - it tasted bad and later I had stomachache. Portions are big tho

Really good food, very authentic and flavorful and loved the filter coffee.

Food is mediocre, the bhajjis were nice, but the biryani and dosa where pathetic. Service is below average and it feels bit crowded and congested

Really bad taste and service!!! Not worth the hike by some instagram influencers.

Simply a great restaurant❤️! The food was super tasty, fresh and made with a lot of love. The staff was really friendly and attentive - you immediately feel at home. The furnishings are also stylish and cozy. All around a perfect experience!

There were 6 of us spontaneously without a reservation and we all ordered something different and got everything warm on the table at the same time. I was impressed then. The food tasted delicious and everyone was very happy. The service was very attentive. We'd love to come back.

The Chicken kothu was a decent one, but the lamb rice terrible. Please don’t fall via the Instagram influencer out there(PR).

Very nice host. Three different dishes, three times super delicious. Gladly again on your next visit. Culinary delights. Really worth a visit.

Bad service and it made me feel so bad. The food tasted good, but the service staff made a mess of the customer service.

Food: The taste of the food was okay, but nothing special. Service: Unfortunately the service was absolutely disappointing. The staff was unfriendly and we didn't feel welcome. Polite answers were given to polite questions, and glasses and plates were loudly and carelessly slammed on the table. Ultimately we were even asked to leave the restaurant because other guests were waiting. This is completely fine, but the manner was anything but friendly and respectful. Even though we paid quickly, we were repeatedly asked in an unfriendly manner whether we were leaving. Conclusion: If you're looking for food that tastes okay, you might find what you're looking for here, but if you value friendly and respectful service, you should definitely look for another restaurant. There are many Indian or Sri Lankan alternatives in Berlin with better food and service.

The perfect blend of delicious food, warm ambiance, and excellent service—highly recommended!

Not particularly and I had digestive problems. Funny translated map though.

The kindest and best local place to eat spicy! Have been coming here for years; my personal favourite is the Baingan Masala!

I found a hair on their food , and very very bad quality food . They also charged me for that hairy food also . The service is very bad too

Authentic South Indian cuisine and very good value for money 🙂 Very friendly service and a fantastic ambience. We drive over an hour just to eat here ❤️

Nice people. Food good. Prices good. Actually, everything is great. Good luck

Excellent food, also for vegans, very friendly service.

Restaurant with South Indian and Sri Lankan dishes. Informal environment. Friendly staff. Cheap but still ethnic food to my liking. Main courses of chicken or lamb cost between 14 and 17 euros. They also offered us a spicy piadina with sauces as an appetizer, and the course ordered with white rice in a common bowl to share, a kind of fried focaccia that is a substitute for bread and a small bowl of salad each. We also ordered a typical dessert. We were offered a low-alcoholic fruit drink at the end of the meal. We spent around 22 euros per person for dinner including a water and a 0.5 jug of house Chianti (if you feel like it you can also try an Indian wine), and we were more than full and satisfied. We left a good tip as we had a very good time.

Everything is superb from the food to service and restaurant environment. Very well treated.

Very friendly and accommodating team. Food was excellent and absolutely authentic Sri Lankan dishes. Large portions and at reasonable prices. We'd love to come back!

very tasty South Indian / Tamil cuisine. friendly and prices ok

Mutton fry was hard and the biryani which as per the thumbnail on Uber Eats is supposed to have chicken didn't have any meat. It was vegan.

Appam was served cold. Thats one thing you never do. Never serve appam cold.

We ordered Chicken DrumKottu and Meen Chennai. Authentic tamilnadu taste 👌and a Warm Service! 👍😊

Very tasty food, one of the best, maybe even the best Indian restaurant in Berlin.

Far East not from the Indian...😅

Very nice food, delicious plates. Lots of options for vegan and vegetarian people. Also, many gluten free dishes. Attention is kind, although sometimes everyone seems to be in a rush. I can recommend the mango coconut shake 🪇 I appreciate that there's almost always a place to sit, even without reservation.

Good authentic srilankan food. We ordered chicken kothu parrota, which was very good and had spicy touch to it. The mutton rolls were tasty. We were warmly welcomed, and the staff were polite and chatted with us for some time. We would highly recommend this place and would visit again.

We recommend Appam and Chicken roast curry here if you are having food for the first time here. We found both really good. The ambiance was also nice with Tamil songs playing. Will be going there again after some time since the food is good

Their signature monk cocktail was excellent, and the food was flavourful. My only critique is they asked if I wanted it spicy and I said yes. They gave me "white people" spicy, which is more of a critique of white people's inability to handle spice. I would have liked a little bit more of a kick.

Excellent South Indian food, probably the best in Berlin. They have Filter coffee, Dosa, Appam and Idiyappam. The spice level is almost true to what it should be and can be adjusted to more on request. They also have a good selection of vegetarian dishes. I had the Filter Coffee (Chennai style), Fish Chettinad with Idiyappam and Chicken Roast. Can’t wait to go back!

We ordered chicken fry, with hoppers which was good. Then it was Parota with Chettinad chicken curry, which was also good. Highly recommend those two. Then it was coli biryani- again I have no idea why there is bell peppers, zucchini in chicken biryani. Super not authentic. Did not taste like biryani at all. The gravy that was served with it also wasn’t great and there was no yogurt, which is a must for a plate of biryani- definitely would not recommend. They charged 2.50 for one small cup of sweet coconut milk which was atrociously expensive for that quantity :/. Felt super bad for ordering it later. They really need to re think what they give for what quantity and how much they want to charge. The staff- super super slow. Had to wait for the takeaway order and bill forever. Neither a wow nor a bad place. They can do much better.

Very good food, fast and friendly service. The Yogi tea was not as sweet as other restaurants and was well blended. The dishes seemed very fresh, the redfish was super juicy. Our chosen dishes were all South Indian style and tasted accordingly. Next time we will try coconut dishes and the chillies.

The best biriyani i had in a while 😍

I had a masala dosai and Porotta. Dosai was decent, with a tasty potato filling, although the dosai itself was over-fermented. Parotta was mediocre, as it was very dense. We were disappointed with our waiter who was mean and condescending. Overall it was still a decent meal.

Lunch at this restaurant will never disappoint. On a rainy day, the staff at this restaurant served us home in a bowl of hot lentil soup with soft bread on the house and it was delicious. We had fish meals and chicken tikka sizzler. Absolutely delicious and the portions were too much for us. Must visit to indulge in the spices of South Indian cuisine.

Ordered from UberEats: Chicken Roast is amazing!

If you having cravings for Srilankan and South Indian foods, this is the authentic place in Berlin. The Dum Biriyani in the weekend is so delicious. Chicken Kothu is nice 👍

There were four of us there and since then we have all had stomach problems, cramps, diarrhea and sometimes even a fever. Unfortunately not a nice experience.

The food was initially delicious, but unfortunately the service wasn't particularly interested or particularly friendly. There were four of us eating there, unfortunately all four people have had stomach cramps since the visit. Although we often eat South Indian or Sri Lankan food.

Unfortunately I was disappointed with my last visit. I had lamb with spinach and a bhatura. The Bhatura seemed like it was fried for the second time, so not fresh. The lamb dish also didn't give the impression of being freshly prepared. The meat was tough and the sauce had a kind of old taste. The service was okay, but not particularly friendly. I often eat Indian food in various restaurants in Berlin, but this one was in the lower quality ranking. All in all not recommended.

Super tasty food and inexpensive. Nice staff. We will come back.

I used to have Indian food, but even mildly spicy meals here are too spicy for me ☺️ but still authentic and tasty

We went to this place with office colleagues on a busy Thursday. It was quite a walk from office but it was worth. Firstly this is not a srilankan place it’s a South Indian restaurant. What a food they have it’s awesome. We were so hungry they served 7 people a free soup and bread. We ordered a lot of stuff. Only chutney was not so great rest everything perfect.

I love this restaurant. I come here quite often with my family. The spicy food is actually spicy, so be warned!!! The chicken biryani on weekends is sublime. Chicken literally falls off the bone! Service is typically good and also great atmosphere.

Very tasty food, kind service and good price

Terrible experience. We got the Paneer dosa & Mutton biryani There were only 3-4 Cubes of paneer in the whole dosa with full of potato - they should have named it masala dosa instead. The mutton biryani tasted like they added Maggi masala - the taste was good but I don't want to taste Maggi when I order biryani. The service was also not great - the person who served was not very responsive to our queries. Don't recommend. Saravana Bhavan(Postdamer platz) dosa was way better with full of Paneer + cheese for the same price

The food is neither good nor bad. Service was neither impressive. It took long time for the service staff to notice new customers. Food was below average compared to other similar category restaurants in Berlin. Do not recommend this place considering the overall cost to value.

Came here for a birthday lunch. The food was really lovely and the staff were very accommodating

We like to come back again and again and are always completely happy and satisfied. Best service, fine fresh and tasty food, good selection and pleasant atmosphere.

We had dinner with family yesterday, very good meal, we recommend! So excited to go back there to eat barothas!!! And Dosei Very smiling and pretty waitress The card is not accepted

The best South indian I’ve tasted in Berlin so far. 100% Recommend❤️❤️

Was pulled in by the 'south Indian' menu and branding as a south-Indian and Srilankan restaurant. Ordered the Jaffna Jackfruit curry. Tasted like the one you get at a Bombay restaurant. Neither the taste nor the ambience brought the familiarity of the south. Even the music running on the background were some Bollywood Pop numbers remixed by a guy named DJ Pradhaan. If you are looking for authentic south Indian or Sri Lankan cuisine, you could well be disappointed.

Very friendly team and delicious food👌

Fantastic original food. Moderate prices.

Nice Indian cuisine form south Índia at very resonably prices. Should come if you are up for Indian food.

The food was delicious and the ambiance was pleasant. A delightful fusion of Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine.

We ate lentil soup, biryani and curry - all excellent! Service staff also very friendly.

Plenty of cans that I've only seen on the fair before

The best shop in the neighborhood, always friendly. Great food and great service!

#158 Chicken Roast was probably one of the best chicken curry dishes I've ever had. There was also rice and fried bread, a great combo!

Great place to try srilankan food. Koththu was really good!

Service was a little slow, but the food was really tasty. Note the spiciness can be a bit more than the usual German Indian food.

There’s a Rajamouli look alike serving there who thinks he is the Bahubali😂 Someone tell him if he is a bit less rude then he might get the extra ‘please’ he so craves for doing his job… In no way it is meant demeaning but He IS Arrogant. Food was okayish Paruppu soup was good… Coconut chutney is made by someone who has never had authentic coconut chutney😂 Outdoor seating is good but on the Main Street so a bit noisy but still good on a nice weather day. There is another server there who is very kind and gentle, appreciated him over the ‘rude boss’ Overall okayish

Very good lunches, delicious food

Delicious. Lunch really good. Fast and very friendly service.

Very delicious food and good service! If you want to try out food of a different culture, thats a good place to do that :)

This is one of the best places to experience authentic South Indian cuisine. The food is not only delicious and well-prepared but also offers great value for the money. Each dish is reasonably priced, ensuring you get the most out of every penny spent.

Great food and great service, a wonderfully authentic Sri Lankan/South Indian restaurant my family and I were able to find on our trip from Canada. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a taste of Tamil cuisine

Wonderful food and very friendly and fast service. The seven of us ordered a variety of dishes, all of which were seasoned differently. Sometimes different dishes are served in the same sauce. Luckily that's different here. We will be back definitely.

Super delicious and authentic cuisine! I'll definitely come back on my next visit to Berlin! Ideal for vegetarians.

Worst service and food . There was no proper service . Worst experience.

The food was very good and the food was well served and the environment was also very good l

Very nice, fair prices and gite quality!

Biriyani was okay. Not the authentic indian Biriyani. But the place was nice to join with friends. Found quite a few Germans enjoying dosas. Will visit to try other food for a better understanding of the food.

The sambhar with Dosa was awesome. The taste of Medu vada was on the spot. The koli biryani had an authentic taste.

I ordered dosa it was good but the sambar was not that hot

The food is really amazing but the waitress was very racist. I remember coming there with german friends and she was nice but when I went there here behaviour was indecent and not welcoming. Being a South Asian restaurant they should be good and hire people who see everyone through the same eyes.

In the middle of beautiful Kreuzberg, there is very tasty food from Sri Lanka/South India & from very, very warm staff. Here you will be served with warm hospitality, any special requests will be taken into account and you will be met with good energy. I would love to come back. Thank you for the delicious food & hospitality ❤️

It was a relief to find some good Tamil food. Enjoyed the variety of food and Tamil spices.
