Cassambalis in Berlin

The restaurant's ambiance is truly fantastic – stylish and inviting, which initially gave us hope for a pleasant evening. Unfortunately, the service was anything but convincing: The greeting itself was unfriendly and rude, the waiter seemed stressed and repeatedly made strange, inappropriate comments throughout the evening – it was unpleasant and dampened the mood. The food, unfortunately, isn't recommended either: The pike-perch was served with a strange sauce that had an unpleasant, almost chlorine-like taste. The beef tartare was disappointing in terms of taste – especially considering the high price. Overall, a visit with both ups and downs – great ambiance, but the service and food unfortunately didn't live up to it.

A very nice evening with attentive service and delicious food

An all-around perfect experience! The food was outstanding, the staff super friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere simply fantastic. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Berlin!

We visited Cassambalis for the first time and were impressed by the incredible friendliness, fantastic food, and cozy, chic ambiance. The outdoor seating is very comfortable in the summer.

Very good quality of the food - a mushroom risotto was excellent.

Only a few steps from Savigny Platz, this is a nice place for a relaxed dinner. Outside seating, fresh and tasty food, good wine and a very attentive helpful service. we loved it.

A solo unos pasos de Savigny Platz, este es un buen lugar para una cena relajante. Estábamos sentados fuera y disfrutamos de nuestra comida fresca y bien preparada. Pedimos el plato principal equivocado, y no tuvimos problemas para devolverlo, consiguiendo el pescado que queríamos. Gran servicio!

La mejor comida mediterránea que encontrarás en Alemania, con un gran servicio! Incluso puede ver fotos de algunas de las muchas celebridades que visitan.

Special place with a feel-good atmosphere

Cool restaurant, great food and friendly staff

Very nice staff, the food was excellent.

Very nice restaurant, good service, and excellent food. However, an apple spritzer for €8.00 is a bit steep.

A truly good restaurant; I've rarely had such a great grilled sea bream. The price is certainly on the higher end, but completely justified.

It was our first time here and we will definitely come back. Great ambience, quiet background noise and great food!

Super good service, elegant, great food

Great dinner, very good food and nice service. I recommend!

Delicious meal in a cozy and attractive restaurant. Absolutely recommended,

Great restaurant with a lot of charm and very nice service. The food was great and a good selection of dishes.

Fav place in Berlin! Both for lunch (always space available) and dinner (often full, so make a reservation in advance). Take the octopus and truffle pasta, or pasta with beef.

I/we haven't been to Cassambalis for a long time. All the more beautiful; Everything is still “like it used to be”. It's still DELICIOUS and I got the tastiest veal liver I've ever tasted!! There is no question that the service was outstanding and professional in a positive sense. It's a shame we don't live "around the corner", Cassambalis is definitely one of my TOP TEN restaurants worldwide.

Ein wirklich außergewöhnliches Ambiente, in jeder Ecke entdeckt man etwas Neues, tolle Kunst an den Wänden. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam, sympathisch und freundlich. Das Essen rundum super. Ich würde beim nächsten Berlin-Besuch wieder hingehen und es uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

All categories: five stars - the service is very courteous but not intrusive, the food tastes excellent and the ambience is, as has often been described, simply special due to the selection of different pictures on the walls.

The restaurant is beautiful with a vivid vibe. The food is tasty and healthy.

Great upscale restaurant. Impeccable Service, and beautiful interior. The food was excellent

Wonderful atmosphere from the good old days, when we thought everything was settled with the Charter of Paris.

The food is good, the staff is friendly, and most of all, the atmosphere is amazing!! I really recommend it. Reservation is required!

We had our Christmas party there and it was a 10/10. the staff, the ambience, the service everything was perfect. Since we enjoyed it so much, we decided to celebrate New Year's Eve too. For us now our favorite restaurant in Berlin

The Cassambalis impresses with delicious food, a wonderful ambience and a perfect combination of culture and cuisine. The service is warm and attentive – a real highlight for connoisseurs. Absolutely recommended!

Great restaurant. Great service. Great food. All in all, highly recommended!

Service, cleanliness, quality guest experience, unparalleled experience, every time. The food is always delicious, I go there about once every three months, it's definitely worth it.

First of all, the positive: the atmosphere is really, really nice and cozy - actually a place I would like to go to, but: Extremely snooty service, sometimes rude: even the greeting was unfriendly and rude. I wanted to order a fish from the same standard menu, but three of the fish on offer were not in stock, which I was told very rudely ("it doesn't exist!") - oh sorry, how could I ask for it... Mixed ones too They refused starters for four people, so we each had to order something individually - that's okay in terms of content, but somehow better in style... The four of us spent almost 300 euros without desserts, which doesn't hurt us , but condescending and Rude is not possible even for 10 euros. The starters were completely overpriced for the run-of-the-mill quality on offer, only the radicchio salad and the tarama were really good, pimentos, fava and tzatziki were "okay", but too expensive for that and the quantity on offer. The seafood tagliatelle was really bad, although the pasta itself was quite good. 7 mussels that were so hard and tough that 4 of them could only be separated with force and unfortunately were hardly chewable and a king prawn that had also boiled into rubber. You can call this "seafood", but for 29 euros I expect more and, above all, not such poor quality. In general: apart from this 0815 standard ticket, there was unfortunately no day or week or at least season ticket (or they didn't feel the need to explain it to us). And the desserts - three: Greek yogurt, tiramisu and cheesecake, oh no: there was also vanilla ice cream. Every corner bistro tries harder, it's boring and, given that most of it is bought in, it's far too expensive. The wine list is also standard (read: quite ok) and overall too expensive for the quality offered. The ambience and our friends saved the evening, but we won't go there again due to the unfriendly service and the subpar and boring food. There are much, much better restaurants in this price category. It's actually a shame, because it could be so beautiful there...

We had our Christmas party there (for the second time). Not suitable for a Christmas party with almost 20 people! You can hardly have a conversation with your colleagues, it's just too loud and too crowded. We were given two long tables one behind the other. You could hardly get out of your seat without all your other colleagues having to get up if you wanted to go to the toilet. This year we ordered Ala Card, which worked surprisingly well. The starters were plentiful, so that everyone, whether vegetarian, vegan or all-eater, was satisfied. The main course was a little highlight for me because of the Christmas menu because Christmas dinner was offered. The portions were generous but a small bedside table still fit. The staff was a bit over-motivated but still very friendly and accommodating and fulfilled all of our wishes. The stars are deducted for the food because the price-performance ratio is extremely too expensive (inflation or not). And for the ambience we also deducted stars because it was too loud, too narrow and we were sitting right next to the kitchen.

Incredibly great restaurant, so beautifully decorated, incredibly nice staff, thank you for a great evening 😊

We had a light dinner of pasta and salad. Our server Starvor was very professional: attentive and friendly but not overly chatty. The restaurant’s interior design is stunning, with the walls covered with abstracts, vanguard late 20th century.

Amazing everything and everyone. Fanis and Stavros are lovely, the whole stuff is very helpful and the atmosphere and food simply amazing with exceptional artistic taste, detail oriented. Wonderful wine list : Blue Fox ( Ble Alepu) Kyr Giannis wine is a top

Particularly suitable for special occasions. Very nice atmosphere, top service, good cuisine

I had the driest goose of my life. It's impossible to complain, the chef would have said that's what the service says. The small goose dumpling was probably a finished product from the Maggi bag and had not been in the water bath long enough; it was still very powdery inside. The service came when you rowed your arms.

It was an indescribably relaxed atmosphere... with the best food and lovely company. I felt privileged to be able to dine here.

Restaurante completo, pero el servicio máx. flexible para mí como un solo cliente masculino. Tengo un lugar en la barra. Buen a un champán, buen servicio individual, ensalada muy sabrosa, lenguado fino, precio de postre combinado con calidad servicend es absolutamente ok.

Das besondere Restaurant. Hat alles was man sich wünschen kann.

God mat med fräscha råvaror. Personalen var okej. Trevlig interiör. Lite väl dyrt i förhållande till vad som serverades, men likväl en trevlig och bra middag.

Inconspicuous from the outside but a feast for the eyes inside! Beautifully decorated, the starter buffet in the restaurant is really exceptional! Our menu with fish as the main course was served at the table. Unfortunately, side dishes were only served much later! Everything costs more than the Greek restaurant next door. If the side dishes were served with the fish, I would say: Perfect | Our fish was now cold!

Well-made Mediterranean cuisine, but nothing Alain Ducasse, although there is a certain claim there. The dessert is the best 😁, I thought. All in all, a bit of New York style in Berlin, comparable to the Paris Bar. That's a big achievement in Berlin, where there still isn't that much choice. In any case, you can spend a pleasant afternoon there!

Food & ambience very nice. The service was also very good with a few small deductions. Unfortunately, one waiter repeatedly insulted another (perhaps new?) and, when he made a mistake, looked as if the new (?) waiter was at fault (not the case). We think that's a shame. Except for this one service person, we were very satisfied with the service and our evening. 🥰

Best service. Wonderful good. Incredible atmosphere

Really friendly service and a nice atmosphere to sit and chat

Great variety of wine selection

Prices have gone up, quality has gone down significantly... I recommended it back then, but I no longer recommend it

Delicious food, great service. Convenient reservation with feedback via the website. Perfect.

Very expensive. Dishes that are nothing exceptional. The meat liver really isn't great. More than 8 euros a liter of still mineral water. A service that leaves something to be desired. A place to avoid. Don't be fooled by the pretty decoration of the place.

Nice shop..very nice service, food very tasty..always a pleasure

Beautiful restaurant, inside and outside! Very good quality of food And lovely staff, amazing service Everything was perfect I rarely had such a good service With all the smiling, friendly and attentive waiters. I just love that place and will come back for sure.

I'm back after 7 years, and I won't be back. The dishes are average, at the level of a provincial tavern (meatballs & dorado). Rosemary fries unacceptable. Champagne at almost room temperature. And towards the end we were visited by a couple of cockroaches. I photographed one of them, the other one was hidden somewhere. The young waiter very polite, the other older gentleman is probably tired in general and it's time to give up the service. Bon appetit.

Beautiful restaurant with friendly staff and very good food. Also a little more expensive, but it's worth it.

We visited Berlin from Chicago and enjoyed our meal a lot. The atmosphere is lovely, so much art to look at and food and service was great. It is a 4 min walk to Savignyplatz, which is a nice area to stroll after dinner.

Great atmosphere with the most attentive, nicest service we've had in a long time. Everything was great, gladly again. Greetings and thanks

Everything was top notch, but the octopus was a level above.

An absolute gem of a restaurant! The food here is simply amazing - fresh, tasty and creatively prepared. The ambience is cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxed evenings. We had a wonderful evening and we can't wait to come back!

A “noble Greek” who is second to none. Very chic, good food and very good service.

Muy buen restaurante y comida sabrosa. Cenamos en el restaurante. Bonitos camareros y excelente comida! Muy recomendable!

We were at Cassambalis this evening and were very satisfied. The veal liver was excellent and the service was also very attentive and friendly. Thank you and see you next time. Update August 29, 2023 Went to Cassambalis again today, the service was consistently top, the octopus and the lamb were a dream. See you soon. Update May 25, 2024 As usual, great food and very good wines (and grappa).

An impressive ambience, excellent food and perfect service... all in all it was a successful evening... we will definitely come back soon!

Gezellige sfeer, beetje Franse bistro met veel kunst, modern, aan de muren. Voelde al gelijk “warm” aan toen we binnenkwamen. Eten was werkelijk voortreffelijk, keuze maken was moeilijk zo veel lekkere dingen! Uiteindelijke keuzes waren voor ons beiden heel lekker. Vriendelijke bediening die ondanks de drukte de tafel in de gaten hield qua bijvullen glazen en opruimen borden zonder dat het vervelend werd.

Very cozy restaurant with very good food. Very nice and attentive service staff. Keep it up!! We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back. Thanks Stavros for the ouzo 😉

Nice place, nice service, food ok, little bit of mix not just greek dishes. Unfortunately the price is too high. Overrated compare to the portion.

Everything was fine. Service was GREAT!

Fantastic cuisine. Very courteous service.

Very good food and drinks for me also with the best squid I have ever eaten

A wonderful restaurant, with super friendly staff. The food is delicious! The hygienic conditions are clearly good!

Noble Italian. Really good food. Of course not cheap, you can easily lose €100 here. But, it's worth it. The problem is sometimes the guests, who are often very stressful.

This spot is amazing, coming from NYC and understanding what a good restaurant is supposed to be. The atmosphere is special with a worthy collection of art and an eclectic collection of stuff from a good eye. The food was outstanding and they were willing to prepare any dish any way you wanted it, superb, great service friendly waiters and worth the extra $$$.

Vor der Corona-Pandemie gab es bei Cassambalis eine große Vorspeisentafel in der Mitte des Restaurants. Was für eine Pracht das war, frisch, vielseitig, delikat und köstlich! Man konnte frei wählen im Selbs-Service. Dieses Angebot - einzigartig wunderbar - war der eigentliche Grund für uns, immer wieder gern mit Freunden uns bei Cassambalis zu verabreden. Auch Promis konnte der Gast mit etwas Glück öfters dort antreffen. Seit der Corona-Zeit ist die Vorspeisentafel leider verschwunden und auch danach nicht wieder aufgetaucht. Die Kellner sind öfters selbstgerecht, launisch und nicht gerade zuvorkommend. Wir gehen noch ab und an hin, aber die Vorspeisentafel fehlt unbedingt, sodass das Angebot von Cassambalis wieder tatsächlich einzigartig und eine kulinarische Besonderheit wird, wie es einmal vor Corona war.

Starters were all very good, the Iberico pork souvlaki was pink but hard.

Fine Greek and international cuisine. Attentive service. Good wines and other spirits.

If you're willing to spend a lot of money to enjoy very good cuisine and dedicated personal service, you've come to the right place: Greek and Italian cuisine at a high level in an artistic ambience (the walls are full of pictures in St. Petersburg) - maybe even celebrities to see.

Great food, but the best part was the people watching. Amazing atmosphere and amazing fish.

2 stars for service and atmosphere. The food is mediocre and so are the products

Beautiful restaurant that impresses with good food. Only the service could be better, considering the price.

Wir hatten reserviert, sind keine Stammgäste und hatten die Wahl zwischen einem Tisch direkt an der Tür, wo es zieht oder weiter hinten direkt vor der Küchentür, die offen war und ständig schepperte. Erst nach zweimaligen Nachfragen haben wir einen vernünftigen Tisch bekommen. Die beiden angebotenen Tische blieben den Abend leer. Unglaublich arrogant. Trotzdem war das Essen sehr gut die freundliche Dame vom Service hat das Beste gegeben, uns den Abend zu versüßen. Die Preise sind unglaublich angestiegen. Wenn man einen guten Tisch bekommt und auf das Geld nicht achten muss, ist das Restaurant zu empfehlen.

After my last recession, I have to correct myself. Back to the old days before Corona. Oysters were great. Everything else 5 stars. The operation was carried out at the highest level. All in all, appropriate for the price.

Excellent from A to Z. The food is just fantastic, but the service was on the highest level!!! Thank you for this unforgettable experience. Now for sure on my TOP5 list in Berlin.

Service was particularly attentive and friendly. Nice, fun and high quality evening

If you are only in Berlin occasionally, you will notice that some restaurants are completely full and some restaurants are completely empty. There's actually nothing in between. The Cassambalis is always completely full - with an illustrious audience and a really nice ambience. Sure, the kitchen can do sole with excellent spinach, but it's much more interesting when not only high-end products are successful, but seemingly banal starters like beetroot or oyster mushrooms are great. And if the team is warm and personal, especially the boss has a perfect overview, then it will definitely be a lovely evening. Or lunch.

Thank you for a very nice evening :)

Good food, good attention from the waiters, quite expensive!

Good atmosphere, professional waiters. Beautiful, warm, cozy. The food leaves much to be desired 🤷🏼‍♀️ Or we have different tastes 😉 But the tiramisu dessert is good.

The food is incredibly delicious. Family owned and operated. Had the pleasure of being served by Alexander which is the owners son. Outstanding service.

Sehr aufmerksamer Service, Gutes Ambiente, alle Speisen von sehr guter Qualität und auch der Wein prima. Preislich allerdings ca. 30% überteuert. Beispiel: Lammkarre für 39 zuzüglich (!) Beilage, 30 wäre OK. Wolfsbarsch (der wirklich gut war) 50 plus Beilage usw usf. Bei angemessenen Preisen vier oder fünf Sterne, aber Berlin Charlottenburg ist nicht Schwabing. Schade, bei allem Verständnis für die Probleme der Gastronomie werden wir das nicht wiederholen.

Nice atmosphere, artwork is really nice. Food is alright, price performence ratio was a bit lower than expected. Tried the lamb chops and Keftedas, was average.

The food was very blend, but the tzatziki was made strait from the yogurt can? Not good at all. Their lamb chops were not cooked properly ( I believe because the size was different on all of them and the cook didn’t know how much time they needed?). Not a Greek restaurant ( only 3 dishes of Greek food). It’s very expensive for the quality of food offered. That’s why I gave it only 3 stars.

Essen gut, aber auch nicht überragend. Die Bedienung schien schon mit der Getränkebestellung von 8 Personen überfordert. Das Trinkgeld hat sie trotzdem gerne genommen.

für Berlin ungewöhnlich diskreter , perfekter Service

Wunderbares Lokal, tolles Essen ,sehr freundliche Bedienung.Immer wieder gerne gehen wir hin!

Teramisu ist einfach göttlich!!! Dringend empfehlenswert ❤️

Very nice Italien restaurant with Greek influences and fusion. Good wine list. Ideal place with friends or customers…

Phantastisch gegessen, großartiger Service! Gastronomie ganz weit oben! Danke für einen tollen Abend

Tolles Restaurant, sehr freundliche Inhaber und Personal. Tolles Ambiente. Überarbeitungswürdig aus meiner Sicht wäre die Speisekarte (Zusammenstellung eines Gerichtes ist nicht ganz einfach) Nicht unbedingt für den kleinen Geldbeutel! Uns hat es super gefallen.

Ausgezeichnetes Restaurant. Essen und Ambiente wirklich gut. Alles nicht ganz billig, aber jeden Cent wert. Wir hatten zum Geschäftstermin eine angenehme und ruhige Atmosphäre. Merke ich mir für zukünftige Besuche vor. Falko

Da passte alles. Das Cassambalis ist ein Top-End Grieche. Das Essen war exzellent. Mein Souflaki Spieß vom Iberico Schwein ist eine Empfehlung. Auch die Atmosphäre und das Ambiente waren für das Geschäftsessen sehr stimmig.

Einfach wunderbar, Ambiente, Service wie in den guten alten Zeiten
