Chettinad Indian Restaurant Spandau in Berlin

I had taken food at this restaurant multiple times, Service was good and especially south Indian foods are tasty. Restaurant people are too good on the behavior and response on your order. I would like to mention specifically Taniya gives more attention to Customer in nice way and friendly manner.

I have a better experience from Chettinad restaurant. The staff members Taniya and Rohith gave me the best service.

Amazing Chettinad flavors! The food was authentic and delicious, and the service was warm and attentive. A great spot for South Indian cuisine—highly recommended!

I used to visit Chettinad yummy Kitchen from 2023. I always order their briyani. I am a big fan of their dum briyani. Out of few places in berlin that offers dum briyani Chettinad yummy Kitchen is good. Also I like their fish curry. Service is good and Tanya who works there is very friendly and asks our preferences for spice levels. I suggest to add more masala in briyani because I felt it mild as a south indian. If you are craving south indian food and in spandau you can visit them. In 2023 while I came new the taste was very good. Now it has got reduced a bit. Kindly look into it. Pls add parotta salna,kotthu parotta. Over all good . Can improve. Price is ok.

Perfect place for delicious food

Authentic place to try Indian foods Good atmosphere Fantastic service

Absolutely loved the food here! Authentic South Indian flavors, especially the Chettinad chicken —delicious. The staff (Ms. Saru )were friendly, and the service was quick.

Highly recommended. We were also asked if we wanted it spicy, which was very nice. It was real Indian spiced curry and soooo delicious. The waitress was also very friendly. Thali was especially very impressive with the banana leaf plate. Many vegetarian options as well as special menus for children were also very good.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff.good Indian food

Our visit to Chettinad was a thoroughly enjoyable date experience. My companion and I enjoyed raita, butter naan, garlic naan, and dosa – all freshly prepared, perfectly balanced in flavor, and of the highest quality. The staff was attentive, friendly, and always present, without being intrusive. Particularly noteworthy is the authentic Indian ambience, which completely immersed us in another world for a moment. A true highlight for all lovers of South Indian cuisine – we would gladly return.

Worth trying .. do come for the iftar menus 😍

Highly recommended. The manager is super friendly. Amazing atmosphere.

A very nice atmosphere I felt like I was at home.

The Chettinad restaurant is simply fantastic! The Chicken Dum Biryani is incredibly spicy, aromatic, and tender. The Chicken 65 is also delicious, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. Anyone who loves Indian food should definitely stop by here!

Absolutely delicious! Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. You can really taste the quality and care in each dish..The Thalassery Dum Biryani was incredible—perfectly cooked, fragrant, and full of authentic flavors. The mango lassi was rich, creamy, and the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing. Amazing food and a great experience overall. Will definitely be back!

Today I ordered three kinda meals online like biryani n curry‘s. Quality is very bad n quantity is very less. Even not enough for a single person. They should increase the quantity according to the prices as well as the quality. They even don’t have raita n pickle for biryani. I was surprised by seeing these kinda service in Berlin. I am very shameful to share this experience.

Good food, good ambience, friendly employees.

Was a good South Indian cuisine with fine dine experience that.. staffs are very friendly !! They also provide good offers .

Great food, friendly staffs and the ambience is superb !!

Ordered food and paid online. But the food was never delivered. Nobody can be reached by phone. Ordered here for the 1st and last time. edit: How about you at least transfer the money back to me as promised? If you had done that as promised, I would have deleted my bad review. I'm still waiting to get my money refunded.

Absolutely love the Mysore Masala Dosa! Just incredible. Honestly it was way better than Sarvana bhavana so totally recommend to come here and try the Dosa. Lemon soda was also very delicious. The staff was lovely and welcoming so all in all I definitely recommend this place!

We had to wait for very long for even ordering the food then it took even longer for them to bring it. A couple next to us came after us and they ordered, eat and left while we were still waiting for our last dish. The food was good, without a doubt but the service was disappointing.

I ordered from Lieferando. The naan was far from authentic, more like Turkish bread. The Chicken Jalfrezi tastes like Butter Chicken, with the only difference being Butter Chicken is slightly sweeter. Wouldn't recommend ordering from here as it’s nowhere near actual Indian restaurant.

Tasty as Always! Lovely Service

Small cozy restaurant. Delicious food and friendly service.

Very tasty food in a nice atmosphere!

Tasty Indian food for normal prices.

We keep coming back. It is not easy to find south Indian food across Germany. It's authentic and tasty and the restaurant is neat and clean. And not to forget about the amazing and friendly staff.

Great food, nice people. Great place to hangout with friends :)

Very nice shop. The food is delicious and came to the table very quickly. I can recommend it. .. and the decoration is amazing, especially the picture towards the toilet :)

We had an amazing experience at CHETTINAD !Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic South Indian flavour’s. The Lamb Biryani was perfectly spiced and fragrant, while the Chicken Vindaloo had just the right level of heat. The Chicken Chettinad stood out with its rich, aromatic masala. We also loved the Battura—crispy yet fluffy—and the Porotta, which was beautifully layered and soft. The Tofu Butter Masala was a great vegetarian option with a creamy, flavorful gravy. For drinks, the Mango Lassi was thick and refreshing, and the Kokos Banana Shake was a unique and delicious surprise. The highlight of our meal was the dessert—Kerala Parippu Payasam, an authentic pudding with the perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Overall, a fantastic place for anyone craving real South Indian cuisine in Berlin. We’ll definitely be back!

The restaurant offers South Indian dining experience. The restaurant is accessible, with nearby parking options and public transportation connections. The staff is known for their friendly and attentive service, ensuring a pleasant visit. The menu features a variety of traditional Chettinad dishes, delivering genuine flavors of South India. 

Amazing food, fantastic service. Must visit for Indian food lovers 😋

The best and the most authentic South Indian food I ever had in Berlin. Very friendly staff too.

Since now they have beef and with Kerala style I think this place is amazing. If you are from south and eat spicy food please let them know. The food was great. It's could be a lil more spicy for me but Im not complaining.

Worst service by the restaurant. We waited for 2 hours for the food to be delivered and then they still didn’t delivered it after stating that they will be deliver it. Looks like owner didnt care about the customers.

Excellent restaurant indien au cœur de Berlin. Il s'agit d'une franchise, qui n'existe pas en France, hélas. Un des meilleurs restaurant indien où j'ai mangé ! Tout est top : accueil, service, hygiène, et les plats parfumés et épicés.

Great service. Very patient people. Good veg food. I got extra ghee with my ghee podi dosa. I loved it 😄 It's a new restaurant - I hope you will maintain the service and food like this always.

I order there regularly. At times the portions had shrunk very small, but have since improved. Deliver on time.

Love this place. I've been in Berlin for just over a year now and haven't found a better Indian than this. I love that its South Indian cuisine here which is a preference of mine.

Everything is so good! It's just absolutely delicious! ☀️ I remembered just now, that we never got our bhatura and I didn't even check if they charged it. But it's not a big thing 🤷

If the water is going to cost 6.5 euros then for god sake let the customer know about it. This is equal to many of the items which one can order. This is not India where tap water is not drinkable. You scammed us and lost a customer forever. Not expected.

Could give 0 stars if given option. On 28th september at 19:00 i ordered mysore masala dosa. First came normal masala dosa when i complained they changed to mysore with high spice that a normal human body cannot digest. Totally disappointed how can they serve to a human such spicy dosa. Never come to this place again. Another scam in same order. Ordered 4 heiniken beers. First 2 beers came good 330 ml When we ordered again they gave 250 ml beers instead 330 ml. While billing we asked for bill they charged same for all 4. When questioned the waitress acted she didnt know anything went away then asked informed us that they are now charging for 3 beers instead 4. We agreed then she insisted to pay with cash instead card because she didnt amend the bill. We refused to pay cash and paid jn card. Stop scamming your own people.

Beautiful food, great people. I recommend the restaurant with all my heart 💓<3

Stop cheating people by serving them food which doesn't look or taste like Indian at all. We ordered online, Mutton Rogan Josh, and they have added potatoes, beans, cauliflower, and paprika. What kind of Rogan josh you are serving. We ordered food looking into the ratings but, you don't deserve a single rating at all. Non Indians might be fond of eating your food, as they don't know how Indian food taste.

Ein schöner Abend im Chettinad.Köstliche Speisen u.a. aus Südindien.Authentische Küche..Wir hatten Vorspeisen und waren begeistert und die Hauptgerichte waren super lecker.Tolle Aromen,und eine schöne Qualität die man nicht immer so erlebt.Auch die Auswahl der veganen Gerichte sind vielfältig.Besonders gefallen hat uns der "Pfannenkuchen mit den Dips,den man in Indien zum F Rphstück ist.Schön angerichtet und dann noch der herzliche Service.Sehr zu empfehlen. Von Klaus....immer wieder gerne

Warm service. We ate delicious cream cheese and a great tandoori dish in a hot pan. The meat was of very good quality. The rice was fluffy. Hot, tasty and aromatic seasoned. Highly recommended...

Recently, I visited this restaurant. The food was delicious, even better than homemade. My personal favorites were the Kovakkai Milagu Piratti and Parota. The ambiance was wonderful, the music added an extra layer to the experience and the service was exceptional.

This was great place, wonderful authentic South Indian food. The service was excellent and kind, they were very accommodating and I was able to change the rice to dosa in the vegan lunch thali. The only negative thing was that the dishes were very very oily which I think is a real problem. However, otherwise, tasty, fresh well cooked and delicious! The restaurant itself is beautiful. Highly recommend.

Food was really good. Will come again definitely.

One of the authentic South Indian restaurant in Berlin. We had veg thali and fish thali, both were really good and filling. I had to loosen up my belt. Food was not oily and gave me the homemade touch. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend this hidden gem. Waitress Tania was very friendly and welcomed us whole heartedly

Always recommended because of the delicious food...

I had one kothu porotta which was so bad. I do not recommend eating this dish. 2024

A go-to place for those who are craving for Kerala food. Must try the Tattu dosa.

Very friendly staff, nice outdoor seats. Only downside is that it is just next to a Main Street, yet overall it was an excellent experience. I got a vegetarian plate as Sunday special offer: Astonishing how much variety they managed to put onto one plate, it was quite a firework of flavours and the design of each component was quite intricate. Clearly recommended!!!

Always delicious here! Friendly staff, the selection of vegetarian dishes is perfect! But meat eaters also have a good selection. The chicken is always buttery and tender. We really enjoy coming here because everything always tastes so good! We also love the Bathura 🤩.

The quality of the food was not good

Vegetarian/ eggeterian should stay away from this place. Whatever the biryani you order it comes with meat. Veg kottu was too oily and pepper. We got complimentary Dosa for biryani replacement and the dosa batter was sour. Overall our experience was bad. The owner/ bouncer did not even had courtesy to say sorry (may be he thought free dosa will do the job)

I ordered three dishes online at 8 p.m. The food had not been delivered by 10:30 p.m. I called three times. I thought it would start now. Where the food ended up, I have no idea. I'm really disappointed. You never had it delivered on time. After all, only bad experiences. Never again

I recently dined at your restaurant and had a wonderful experience! The chicken biryani was flavorful and authentic Kerala style , and the beef thali was delicious with each part complementing the others perfectly. The staff's service and hospitality were also commendable, making the meal even more enjoyable. I look forward to coming back soon!

In 29th July we went to this restaurant and I particularly ordered Veg Tali. But they added Chicken fry along with Gobi 65 in Veg Tali. This is not at all acceptable. My friends ordered Chicken Tali and the quantity was very very less. This kind of Service is not acceptable. They said us that they have Tali and when we asked about this why the Chicken Tali was given in a small plate then they were saying we don’t have Tali plates. And to get those they made us wait for 2 hours. They have charged full amount for those Chicken Tali‘s. When we spoke about it and leaving the restaurant then they started saying sorry we will give more food and all. Which is not really acceptable.

Best authentic South Indian food in Berlin, real soul food. ❤️ Plus excellent service and very fair prices. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice service and really good Indian food. We always like to come back (have been there twice so far).

Very bad.. ordered two chicken gravy... both tasted almost the same... tandoori chicken was dry to its bones, chicken was very very hard like the one we find in chicken pickel.... garlic naan was super thick like some bun

Very Very Very Poor Service.. it takes more than 45mins to get served and they say that the restaurant is crowded but there are hardly 4-5 tables occupied…. No one bothers to come and check neither… Extremely Poor Service and I would definitely recommend against coming to this Restaurant

The 1star rating is for the service. The food is great. Here’s my experience with timeline. 17:48 - Ordered on their website and received confirmation email 19:25 - Food didn’t arrive and called them. They said it’s some technical problem on their system and they received the order just now(which isn’t the case IMO). They told they would deliver the food in 45 mins. I accepted with disappointment. 20:40 - No food yet. Called them again and they said it’s still on the way. I finally ended my hopes that the food will be delivered and cooked some food. I regret ordering from their site. 20:50 - The delivery guy finally showed up and sent back the delivery with all due respect. I would recommend people to visit the restaurant and have food and not to order through their website.

Ordered food online, called after waiting for over an hour, the lady on the phone didn't understand German and hung up. 2nd attempt in English, after 5 minutes back and forth the information was that the driver had left 10 minutes ago. Food finally arrived after 25 minutes. The dish, which wasn't marked as spicy on the menu, burned your throat away. Conclusion for us......NEVER AGAIN!

Delicious food and the Indian red wine was great

As others have noted, delivery service for online orders is disastrous. Waited twice for about 2 hours, only received delivery upon request. Normally the place would have died for me, but for me the best Indian food in Spandau/Charlottenburg. That's why I remain loyal, but recommend picking up yourself or eating on site.

Solid food on site. But ordering is a disaster. Unfortunately the second time the order took over 2.5 hours. When asked in the restaurant they cannot say where the driver is. It's just: come on, come on. Unfortunately, service at this location was very poor.

walked by this and popped inside for takeaway - turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Great portion for the prize, fresh chicken and salad too.

There was also a soup on the house beforehand. Friendly service. We enjoyed it very much.

Very tasty and authentic Indian food. There are not only the typical dishes known from other Indian restaurants, but also many other dishes. The staff is very friendly and will advise you if you have any questions. Fair prices

Nice Indian restaurant, a bit canteen style. Food very good, even to go. Spicy is also spicy and portions are large enough. The service goes from fast and friendly to incredibly slow and curt. We had cocktails while we waited... and we waited for a long time... almost 90 minutes... which was annoying afterwards

The food was pretty good here. When they advertise it's hot it's hot. The service was ok and the staff were friendly. There seems to be plenty of free parking on the street. Although we were outside the restaurant inside did look at bit tired needs refurbishing. Would come back.

I had lunch and it was really delicious. The waiter was friendly and the food came quickly.

We would have reserved 8 places for a group. We were asked three times by different waitresses about our drink preferences. The brunch itself is mediocre. Cold starters where you don't know what they are, including a dish with bread cubes, which were also served with vanilla sauce as dessert. At 1 p.m. the two chicken dishes were emptied (only sauce was left in the containers). They were no longer refilled, even though brunch was advertised until 3 p.m. There was only one fish dish, which was tiny little pieces of fish, very thickly breaded and completely soggy due to the sauce. During our 3-hour stay, neither the plates nor the coffee cups were cleared from the table or cleaned. Paying 8 individual bills took over 30 minutes and was more complicated than I have ever seen before. Positive: vegan and vegetarian dishes were plentiful

I had tried the ghee dosa and it was pretty good. Would not recommend the utappam there. The service was very good and you can pay there with card. Will try the place once again for more of their Thalis as they looked great in the photos

Very tasty food, pongal special was amazing and worth the price.

Super friendly staff! Really great service! The food is excellent. Thank you :)

We have visited the restaurant for our wedding anniversary and I haven been not visited this restaurant for while . We have ordered some traditional Kerala style Porotta . They have been informed us it’s made freshly but I am sure they have just warmed frozen Food for us . We have made decision we never visit the restaurant again . I have paid full amount including for the parotta and I wish next time they will make fresh for everyone .

We ordered food there and waited hours

My friends, my mother and I ordered food. Delivery should take place after 40-55 minutes. When there was still no food after 80 minutes, I called the restaurant. An unfriendly man answered the phone and I asked where the food was. After a long back and forth it was still 20 minutes. I thought that was a disgrace. They didn't even offer me a discount or compensation for this delay. After not 20 but 30 minutes the food arrived and lo and behold it was cold and some dishes were even missing. We stopped the driver and said things were missing, he called the store and said: “Yes, food is coming soon”. After another 30 minutes, we called the store really angry and canceled the meal because some of us had no time left and had to go to work. I immediately demanded the money back. Since we ordered via Lieferando, the unfriendly man said on the phone that he hoped we would get the money back. I thought that was a complete impudence! Don't make this mistake and go eat or order somewhere else if you want Indian food.

This restaurant doesn't even deserve a one star rating. I have ordered food through their online website. It wasn't delivered and I called them multiple times but no one answered. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Food was not delivered and no one responded to calls. It's totally unacceptable. If they can't deliver they could have informed through call.

Our Christmas event today was elevated to a five-star experience, thanks to your outstanding feast! The cutlet, kappa biriyani, chicken biriyani, iddiyapam with chicken stew, and the delightful payasam were nothing short of a gastronomic delight. Each dish showcased culinary expertise and a perfect blend of flavors. The authenticity and quality of the ingredients truly shone through, leaving our members thoroughly satisfied. The attention to detail in every aspect of the meal was commendable. Kudos to your talented chef Rasaq, Arun, Thanush and Binu their dedicated staff for contributing to the success of our event. We look forward to future celebrations with them and highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic South Indian Cuisine and memorable dining experience in Berlin. Warm regards, President World Malayalee Council Berlin Province

Leider einmal ein Haar im Essen gewesen, sonst aber lecker.

Sehr leckeres indisches Essen. Personal und Ambiente noch verbesserungsbedürftig, negativ viel auf das anscheinend die Heizung defekt war und statt dessen mit einem Heizpilz geheizt wurde.

Chettinad Indian Restaurant provided an extraordinary culinary journey during their Diwali Virundhu celebration, and it was an experience worth savoring. The ambiance was festive, adorned with vibrant Diwali decor, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Diwali special menu was an absolute delight! Starting with the Milagu Rasam that awakened the taste buds with its perfect blend of spices, we ventured into the Chicken Lollipop – a crispy, flavorful appetizer that set the tone for the evening. The Chicken Pallipalayam brought back memories of authentic Chettinad flavors, and the Biriyani Rice was a fragrant masterpiece, leaving us longing for more. The star of the evening was the Mutton Kolumbu - a rich and aromatic curry that showcased the chef's expertise. Complementing the savory dishes, the Pineapple Kesari was a sweet surprise, and the Bread Halwa was a perfect finale, evoking nostalgia for the streets of Chennai. Special commendation to Arun and Binu, whose exceptional service added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening. Their attention to detail, warmth, and eagerness to ensure a memorable dining experience were truly commendable. Chettinad Indian Restaurant is a hidden gem that not only serves authentic Chettinad cuisine but also offers an ambiance that transports you to the heart of South India. I highly recommend this restaurant to all food enthusiasts seeking a genuine and delightful culinary journey.

Heute waren wir um 20 Uhr da um Essen zum mitnehmen zu bestellen uns wurde gesagt wir sollen 20 Minuten warten, taten wir, 20 Minuten später kam raus, dass Sie von unserer Bestellung vergessen hatten und wir mussten noch eine halbe Stunde warten nur um mit leeren Händen wieder rauszugehen, weil das Personal es nicht auf die Reihe bekommen hat uns unsere Bestellung zu geben. Sehr unprofessionell und reine Zeitverschwendung.

Wir haben über Lieferando bestellt. Das Essen kam heiß und in der angegebenen Zeit an. Alle drei Gerichte waren sehr lecker. Wir bestellen wieder.

Amazing brunch lot of tasty choice for very affordable every Sunday

Die Speisen waren ausgezeichnet, der Gastgeber sehr freundlich, die Kellner(innen) ebenso... es gab nichts auszusetzen. 👍🏻Einzig die Parkplatzsituation vor dem Restaurant gab uns (und dem Besitzer) zu denken - aber dafür kann ER ja nichts... 🤷🏼‍♂️

Gutes Essen nette Bedienung, hat leider alles etwas lange gedauert. Trotzdem gerne wieder 😊

A very average Indian restaurant. They mention themselves as traditional South Indian restaurant, but dosa and uttapam both were below average.

Wir waren zum Sonntagsbrunch d a. Hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt. Wir kommen gerne wieder

We tried Buffet and it has variety of dishes right from parotta naan multiple rice items, veg and non veg gravy and starters.worth for the money.

Tolles Restaurant, schön eingerichtet und SSSEEEHHHRRR zuvorkommendes Personal, trotz der leichten sprach Barriere . Insgesamt war das Essen recht lecker und authentisch angerichtet . Was ich persönlich anmerke, entweder war das Essen definitiv nicht pfad, aber lasch gewürzt oder einfach nur scharf (liegt im Auge des Betrachters. Ich selbst habe die,, geschmacksexplosion " vermisst der verschiedenen gewürze die es in der indischen Küche gibt. Oder es kann sein, daß ich mich zu wenig in der Küche auskenne, trotz allem ich ein guter hobbykoch bin 😉 Insgesamt 👍🏻 Weiter so

Loved the dosa and chicken tikka masala

Ich habe mehr vom Essen erwartet. Der Salat war wässrig.
