ammAmma in Berlin

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

#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!

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 :)

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 ❤️

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.

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

Except for my fish curry, which was really tasty, everything else was rather disappointing. A lot of it was very bland. I have lived in this region for over five years and know how authentic it should taste. Unfortunately it was far from that and very expensive. It's a real shame because the restaurant actually has a great menu with dishes that you wouldn't otherwise find in a standard restaurant.

It didn't taste good at all. Then they brought me the wrong dosa. There was a hair in one bread and the other tasted like it was 2 days old. The lamb was totally tough. My stomach is still unwell the next day.

Food was not so good... Please don't believe in highest review. It's not worth for money.

The cuisine is too westernised. We asked for spicy and it was still sweet. The taste was not authentic. And it was also pricey.

Very good food, we recommend Ingji Crush as a drink (homemade ginger lemonade)

Worst food ever in Germany. We came here based on the reviews. Named to be an South Indian Restaurant but no Indian touch. Only the menu names look South India. Better name it just Asian so people would not realise what exactly it is.

FANTASTIC food. Vegan options were super delicious. I’d go here at least once a week if I could. Super friendly service as well! Thanks to my friend for suggesting this place. 💛

Good place to grab quick South Indian food.

Loved the food...!! Best place to try the Tamil dishes :)

Heard and read many good reviews about this place so decided to give it a try when I was in Berlin. Booked a place on their website and received a confirmation too. When I reached there the next day, the place was closed. It was not mentioned on their website that the restaurant would be closed. How could they send a reservation confirmation if the restaurant was closed that day... Very disappointing.

The spinach with cream cheese is by far the best in all of Berlin. Absolute regular place and full recommendation. The salty lassi also has a lot of cumin, which I find really tasty.

The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is stylish and not kitschy! The food tastes great, but if you order take away the portions are a bit small. Just go and enjoy!

Very authentic Dosa and Idly, the sambhar has the right texture, not too thin and not too thick, very balanced and authentic spices used. The coconut chutney was freshly prepared and curry leaves add the perfect blend. I would recommend for everyone whosoever is looking for eating an authentic dosa in Berlin. The staff is super friendly and warm welcomed. Chennai Kaffee is must try but not to forget to mix in the bowl before sipping, ask instructions to the owner if required. Would like to visit again to try chicken roast 😋😋😋😋

One of the best places in Berlin which is a blend of Srilankan and South Indian Cuisines. Highly recommend.

Fantastic place, what you see is what you get, no hidden costs, no bad quality, no disappoinment. The chief, an older guy with a beard, is a fantastic host. He knows what people want, can give a good suggestion. No discrimination if you are alone or a smaller group. Great place!

I can recommend it without any problem, I found South Indian cuisine here for the first time in Berlin in addition to the Indian cuisine known in Germany. The whole atmosphere on my first visit seemed very familiar to me. Another plus point...

Very, very tasty food and very friendly service!

Can’t believe it's only 4.5 on google. This is the best (southern) Indian/Sri lankan food I had in Berlin and worth 4.8 for me. Good food, good service, beautiful atmosphere.

Went as group of 4 on a Wednesday. Shame the restaurant wasn’t so full because the food is absolutely delicious. We ordered different dishes so we all could share them. Definitely will go again. Service was also very friendly and helpful.

Nice shop with friendly and warm service and good food. Definitely recommended, come back often :)

Ammamma serves Sri Lankan and South Indian goodness. Magic happens during the weekend with their special sets with your choice of curry and bread.

Good south Indian food in berlin. I ordered Wadai and masala dosa. It comes with chutney and sambhar, chutney taste was so good and fresh. Also recommend parotta with curry. Curry taste was so authentic south Indian taste. Staff also so friendly. We also ordered flammen Paneer, paneer was so soft.

Nice Srilankan restaurant that also serves South Indian food. We tried chicken fry, mutton fry and mutton with spinach. Dishes were tasty and spicy. Paratha we ate was little bit hard but apart from that everything was nice. Really recommend if you are craving for South Indian food in Berlin

Very relaxed little restaurant. We came specifically for the idli :) Food, service and ambience were wonderful. Unfortunately, Thuringia only offers North Indian cuisine, so we were particularly happy about this new experience. Jackfruit flames... to kneel in. :)

Very tasty food, the service was true, although very busy, super nice, I can warmly recommend it!

We go there to eat more often - almost every week... ALWAYS simply incredibly delicious! Very attentive, loving service!

Delicious authentic South Indian cuisine, tastes like local ;-))

Best South Indian food we ever had in Berlin. Prawn curry, egg roast, mutton fry, with Malabar Paratha... mega authentic, just like in Kerala!

Its amazing place man!!! Go now! Dont stop!

Good South Indian and Sri Lankan food

Amazing authentic food! Kozhi biryani was by far the best I have had in Germany. Chicken roast was delicious too

Very tasty food! Top price/performance ratio

Small but well-kept place, with friendly, helpful and friendly staff. The dinner was truly excellent and plentiful, with a wide choice including vegetarian and vegan options. Note of merit for the willingness to accept the request to increase the number of guests from 4 to 8 with arrival at 10pm instead of 9.30pm. However, they didn't let us miss anything. And it's not something to be taken for granted. Highly recommended.

The most authentic Tamil food I've had in Berlin

Good food , friendly staff. South Indian tamilian speciality food. Must visit on weekends to try their special menu.

Authentic taste and super friendly staff. I will highly recommend parotta and chicken roast. One of the best that I have ever had in Germany.💯

The sambhar was from past day(s), and the staff was unfriendly and biased.

The food was good, but the service could be better. The menu set with appam was great! The egg and chicken roast was delicious! Coming to the not so good experience - the lady who took the order got confused and wrote an additional item. When she brought it, we made it clear that we didn’t order, but she argued that we did. We accepted it, but was shocked to see that was billed twice. Of course she corrected it.

Food is nice, but service was sub-par. As a South Asian and a local Berliner, it's not uncommon to be given the invisible treatment by white folks serving you, or to have your order taken from a white friend accompanying you while the white staff members are busy ignoring you. But this was my first experience being ignored by our South Asian server, who preferred to speak German only, and only had eyes for my white boyfriend, who was also weirded out. He ended up asking me what to order, lol. The other staff members seemed ok, though.

It is a beautiful family run restaurant in Kreuzberg serving up delicious and authentic South-Indian and Srilankan food. Hats off to them for such a large and amazing menu. The restaurant is quite spacious but crowded during rush hours. But it was a happy crowd for sure, you can tell by everyone’s faces that they left with their tummy and heart full, just like me! What I can recommend: ✨Mutton Roast (16.50€) ✨Panir Dosai (12.90€) ✨Kozhi Dum Biriyani (14.90€) ✨Mango Coconut Lassi (5.5€) ✨Chennai Coffee ✅Requirements: Vegan, Vegetarian options available.

Good food with mediocre service. We tried the appam and egg roast, kozhi kothu and paneer chili. It was good to try some nice South Indian food after a long time. The service can be quicker and more attentive.

Very underwhelming, mediocre tasting food. Wanted to eat more but the dosa was so tasteless, that I decided to leave instead..

The food was very tasty, I would happily recommend

Please make appam on weekdays also, it’s your USP in Berlin!

It was a very nice dinner. The food was quickly, well served and it was very good! There are lots of dishes options for vegetarians and non vegetarians, as well as vegans. The place is not big, so it might be good to make a reservation before.

We've been here at least three times. It always tastes great and much more authentic than in a classic Indian restaurant.

Ich habe so ziemlich alle indischen Restaurants in der Gegend ausprobiert und dieses für das Beste befunden. Öfters mit Freunden und Familie dort gewesen und das Essen hat immer allen geschmeckt, das Restaurant allen gefallen, wir sind stets freundlich bedient worden und die Preise sind für Berlin sehr moderat, im direkten Vergleich sehr günstig.

Lovely food Service Atmosphere The Sri Lanka chicken curry was great

Gehe seit Jahren hier essen. Es schmeckt super gut und alle die dort arbeiten sind extrem freundlich!! außerdem is es günstig:))

Good service and great foods.i tried palappam,idly,idiyappam,colikothuand chettunadu chicken curry.all are not bad.for me the palappam was more tasty.the currys with idiyappam wasn’t felt good combination and lessquantity.chettinadu chicken carry felt very tasty.colikothu also taste super good and its quantity is supergood Don’forgot to try chennai sweet coffee,its my favourite drink of ammamma.🥹 Reminder:palappam and idiyappam only available in Saturday and Sunday

Ich mag das Restaurant. Das Essen ist frisch und lecker. Der Service ist immer aufmerksam und freundlich. Großes Plus für mich: Küche ist bis 23 Uhr geöffnet.

Spinatsuppe ein Traum. Lammgericht von der Tageskarte auch.

Treue Kunden seit Jahren. Noch nie brauch Probleme nach dem Essen gehabt!!! Und das heisst mal was! Hohe Qualität zu super Preisen - geschmacklich sowieso im oberen Bereich.

Essen war höllisch scharf, obwohl gesagt wurde Bitte Ohne, Essen hat überhaupt nicht geschmeckt, sehr viel TK-Ware, nicht empfehlenswert.
