Drei Elefanten - Fresh Ukrainian Soulfood in Berlin

It tasted good, but it's not that good... rather unimaginative and cleanliness doesn't play that big of a role either

Ate and drank very tasty and learned something at the same time: будьмо! Cheers! 😀

Very good quality, nourishing food. The Bortsch felt nourishing, warming and yummy. The service wasn‘t so good, but the food was great

Yesterday my German friends and I visited this establishment. There were problems with the borscht; those who ate it sat in the toilet for a long time. 2. Please serve the sour cream separately with the borscht and not throw it into the borscht yourself. 3. German friends liked the cuisine

I really liked the food!!! 🤩 I recommend it to everyone!!!

Ordered in wolt, borsch isn't tasty and without meat, bread is spoiled:(

Mamaliga is gentle, simply awesome. Heimat atmosphere. Charismatic staff. Pity, that's no any music soundtrack in the background, but it's not a big deal.

the cuisine is delicious and the portions are huge. The staff is also very nice and attentive. Can only recommend!

Amazing food, amazing service !!! We really liked it, feels like home ❤️

Nice and friendly service and good food. 🙂

This is a super soulful place that feels like home🫠 The food is great, the waiter is super nice, he speaks Ukrainian! If you miss home, there is a corner of Ukraine for you in Berlin🤗

Very tasty, cheesecakes and borscht are super 👌

Insanely atmospheric place with really delicious food! The staff is nice) I advise you to visit here at least once in your life

Verrrrrry good Borscht. Lovely service

Great experience, wonderful stuff, and unimaginable Galushki. Super recommended!!!😘

Today I was with friends at this restaurant. I liked the Ukrainian cuisine. We ate dumplings, borscht, dumplings. Everything was very tasty and homemade. I recommend going. I am grateful to the cooks and the waiter. Pleasant service

delicious food. incredible service. supper recommended. Very atmospheric place

Food is really really good, reminding of home. Super friendly and amazing owners/waiters. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Berlin ❤️

They were there yesterday. I really liked everything, it was very tasty!

Great food and very friendly staff

One of my favorite places in Berlin. It’s a very cute little restaurant and the food is real soul food. They have a lot of vegan and vegetarian options that taste super fresh and you don’t end up feeling heavy, just content and comfortable. It’s a very homey cozy experience, also because of the lovely staff. I recommend this place to everyone!

Very tasty! Borsch, vareniki with potatoes and mushrooms, desserts 💜

Should take a shot and dive in this Ukrainian vibe!!! Food was delicious. Service is amazing. Recommend with all love!❤️

Très bonne soirée et découverte lune cuisine typique. On recommande ce restaurant pour sa simplicité et son service accueillant.

Very tasty food and better service!

I read about this institution a long time ago and really wanted to visit it. Finally, such an opportunity arose, so they stopped by. Friendly staff, very tasty dishes, large portions. We ate only borscht, we took the other dishes with us, so it was enough for dinner :) I expected something different from the place itself, but it is not so important for a good meal. It didn't spoil the impression) If you miss Ukrainian dishes, I recommend visiting the restaurant or ordering delivery

Lots of delicious vegetarian Ukrainian dishes, both hearty and sweet, freshly prepared in the back. The hot drinks are made behind the counter, the cold drinks are in the refrigerator at the entrance. Very relaxed atmosphere, friendly, personal, warm. Be sure to go and treat yourself to culinary delights.

Unfortunately a very bad experience. There was hardly any service, we were served more poorly than well. The menu is simply a few printed sheets of old, crumpled plain paper. Looks scary... The food was ok, but nothing special. During the meal, the two women who worked there stood outside the door and smoked. All the smoke came in and just made the food terribly unappetizing. My drink was already past its best before date, but we only saw this when I had already finished it. In the end we were billed, no receipt and nothing, just a little scribble on a piece of paper. When we paid, the woman rounded up the change so she got more. We were already too exhausted and didn't feel like discussing things. Absolutely no recommendation! It's audacious to charge €20 per person for such terrible service and average food!

Absurdly bad. The two women smoked outside the door after they brought the food. Of course the smoke came in so that all you could taste was cigarettes. My soda was expired by two months. Prepared as a side dish, not fresh coleslaw. An ambience and service as if they were just a bother. And ridiculously expensive. Not recommendable!

Very nice girl Marina who works there! Greeted warmly, explained everything, brought food very quickly. I ordered dumplings with potatoes. The portion is not large, enough for one person. With dumplings they brought vegetables and salad and very tasty sauerkraut (although I don't usually eat it, but I couldn't resist here...) everything is good, but the cafe itself doesn't look very tidy... but that's normal for Germany. Next time I'm in Berlin, I'll definitely stop by!

Inattentive service not present at the front of the restaurant. You always had to go to the kitchen if you wanted to order or pay. Other potential guests left because no one came forward. The food was okay, but the dumplings with sauce were not very seasoned and the side dishes were not cold but room temperature, which didn't taste particularly good with the coleslaw and carrot salad.

Wonderfully warm, honest food, fresh cherry cake, homemade schnapps, fair prices: go there!

My first impression was very positive, and the food was delicious. I will definitely go again when I get the chance. The service was also very good. Overall, I found the atmosphere very pleasant and cozy. I felt very well. I can absolutely recommend it.

Everything homemade, nice people and authentic food. The syrniki with vanilla curd and red jelly are soooo great.

The staff is extremely friendly and food is very delicious. Native opinion: My Ukrainian girlfriend says they make food just like back home, but she'll still bring her own mother for an expert opinion. So I might edit based on her feedback

A very pleasant and cozy place. They were with their son. My son is 9 years old and it is very interesting that you can see how real varenyki are prepared, because they are cooked right outside the window and you can see the whole process.

I bought pastries to take away, they were fresh and the saleswoman was nice. Gladly again.

Very delicious, homemade food prepared with a lot of heart and soul. It's not like a typical restaurant, it feels more like you're at home with the owners. You can tell they didn't learn to work in the restaurant business but the love and detail they put into their food is worth so much more. Even if it looks strange at first glance, you should dare to go in and sit down.

Small restaurant that doesn't look like much, but super smiling, welcoming people... dishes to die for. Lots of vegetarian options. A treat for the taste buds. Thank you for sharing your delicious food.

Tasteless and stale food; Pelmeni and vareniki have almost no filling. Very unpleasant atmosphere, it stinks inside. Food doesn't match the price. If you want to try Ukrainian food, you'd better choose another restaurant.

⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔🛑🛑🛑 НЕ ПІДТРИМУЙТЕ ВАТУ СВОЇМ ГАМАНЦЕМ "In our cafe in Berlin Neukölln you not only get delicious Italian coffee, an impressive breakfast selection, a large vegetarian variety, but also Russian and Ukrainian food - just like at Babushka back home. Vareniki, pelmeni, borscht - everything is prepared by hand with us - without preservatives or additives. True to the motto: Russian soul food!" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

This food is simply heavenly. I suppose it combines Ukrainian cuisine with the desire for vegetables. I had pemeni with spinach and cheese sauce. It was delicious.

Delicious Borsh and try the Napoleon Cake!

and not a drop of borscht left in my bowl!

Borscht “with meat” without meat at all I waited 10 minutes for someone to approach me, being the only visitor The waiters address me as if I were their girlfriend!!!! I'm shocked ! Terrible service, rudeness, food is far from the most delicious

Delicious Ukrainian cuisine. The atmosphere wasn't that inviting, but the dishes were even more delicious. There could be a little more on your plate to fill you up or you could simply order a dessert.

Super tasty, authentic food, some prepared in front of the guests. Super warm service. Eating like with friends. Thanks!

Very nice service and very tasty pelmenis.

Super amazing food! Had no idea that Ukrainian food is so interesting and tasty. Definitely come here regularly now. Very nice staff also! Thank you for the great experience

Exceptional food. Good service, good radio playing pop/rock songs like Tears For Fears, Robbie Williams etc. The best Solyanka soup I have eaten in years! Chicken pelmeni were also superb. Glory to Ukraine!

We had a nice dinner here. It was my second time here and both times I didn’t have any issues with the food or personnel. Borscht was delicious, and syrniki here are one of the best in Berlin. It’s sad to read such negative reviews about this place and I hope it will get better!

Ordered on Lieferando and it was delicious, will order more!

Keep an eye on things. A friend’s bag was stolen in a half-empty restaurant. The cameras are turned off, the staff is unfriendly.

Caution! We fell victim to a trick theft during our visit. Handbag with wallet and cell phone stolen, police called, report filed. Our first and last visit there.

An Herrn Ansgar Gilster! Ihre Unterstellung ist das letzte! Vor allem wäre eine Richtigstellung angebracht. Nachdem Sie die Polizei gerufen hatten, diese nichts fand, dafür aber das Handy in der Flughafenstrasse geortet wurde, so sagte es mir die verzweifelte Besitzerin, sind Sie höchst wahrscheinlich von einem Gast beklaut worden.

Шок,честно. Переплюнули даже дешманские дёнерские. Борщ кислый . Тесто на пельмени замешивали рядом с моим столиком, найс вид. Вход на кухню, из которой доносятся маты, через туалет. Обслуживание.... мне пришлось ждать вторую часть заказа пока умнички девчонки покурят. Скатерть . Нахрена в заведении есть скатерть на одном столе и та вся заляпанная соусами ? На столовых приборах были частички предыдущей еды 🤢. Какая-то бэдэга.

Український ресторан? Ваше меню каже обсолютно протилежні речі! І вашим і нашим? Займіть уже адекватну громадянську позицію! Не хочу ніколи в житті бачити меню де галушки стоять поруч з якимись русіше блінами

Unscheinbar aber definitiv zu empfehlen! Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und tolles authentisches Essen.

Unglaublich lecker. Für Teigtaschen Liebhaber ein Traum.

Чудово провів час з Сестричкою на вихідних в Берліні на свій день народження посмакували в гарному Українському кафе чудові вареники з картоплею як домашні,гарними смачними салатами, чудовим сирним тортом іще подарували торт в дорогу працівники кафе,неймовірне місце в Берліні,рекомендую

Incredibly delicious; the perfect place to go on a rainy and/or cold day. Soulfood! Absolutely love that our server suggested we order a different sauce because it would go better with our main dish. A bit expensive, but when you consider how much food you get for it (portion size) it is well worth it. Would maybe be nice to have some more drink options on the menu. Will definitely recommend it to others and come again. For breakfast next time!

Вареники з картоплею - найкращі, які тільки можна знайти в Берліні! Обслуговування кількома мовами і дуже затишне місце! Дуже рекомендую бо й сама скоро піду до них на борщ😉

Честно не знаю как вас оценивать, потому что мне ничего не понравилось, но убивать потенциал не хочется. Но минусы действительно перекрывают плюсы. Борщ не вау, норм, пампушек не было. Колорит заведения кринж полный, безвкусная кафешка из нулевых. Когда мне дали меню в руки его вид меня очень расстроил. Не рекомендую

Дружелюбный персонал, но само место скорее маленькая кафешка с вайбом 90-х, чем ресторан. Выбор ограничен довольно сильно (часто чего-то нет). Цены относительно адекватны. Порадовало то, что в заведении тихо и спокойно, а не как везде. Холодной (почти) подачи блинчиков не особо понял, мне кажется тёплыми было бы получше. Порции довольно маленькие, но мне это даже в плюс. 3 звезды за хорошее отношение) Главная проблема - район. Настолько опасный, что я слабо представляю, почему и как эти отважные женщины там работают. Переезд в район поприличнее сделал бы только лучше. Upd. Атмосфера лёгкого раздолбайства превратилась в тяжёлый декаданс. В последний раз я наткнулся на позицию, которую они могли сделать, с ЧЕТВЕРТОГО РАЗА. Не было абсолютно ничего (процентов 80 меню), включая даже чая и кофе, потому что "сломался аппарат" и отопления в зимние холода. Работала за всех одна абсолютно демотивированная девушка, а остальной персонал едва появлялся на виду. Это плевок в лицо, а не обслуживание. Больше и близко не подойду.

Sweet little simple place, good for a snack or a tea, just as you like

Es ist ein kleiner süßer Laden und man kann es sich bequem machen. Sehr nett bedient worden. Essen fand ich leider nicht Speziell, hat alles bisschen geschmeckt wie Zuhause, was ja kein Problem ist aber dafür dann schon etwas teuer. ( ist ja alles Geschmacksache)

HUGE RED FLAGS! 🚩🚩Absolutely disgraceful, and completely fraudulent. We went for a late brunch with some friends, and ordered 2 plates each. The lady working there took our order on a piece of blank paper, writing down each and everything. Then she asked us what she has written, but okay. She was sweet and we were having a good time. The food arrived, and the trouble started. One friend didn't get his meal at all because they ended up forgetting about it (even though the lady wrote down everything and had us double check). The galoushki I ordered was tasteless, poorly seasoned, bland, and just a heaping portion of disgraceful mush. The syrniki was okay. Still, we didn't complain. Then, another friend got a wrong dish and told the lady that it is not what she ordered. She insisted that it is, arguing that somehow a dish with chocolate and walnut is "vanilla". We ended up sending it back, and she got the correct dish later. Still, we didn't complain. Then the bill came. Except the bill was the blank paper on which she wrote our order and the price, and she wrote the total sum. The number felt too rounded, so we recalculated using a calculator and found out she ROUNDED UP the total price without telling us. Still, we decided to leave it as tip. Since they only accept cash, we paid in cash. Then the trembling, sweet lady suddenly turned on us and said our bills are not good because it's the old Euro bill. We said it's old bill but still good. Then she asked the next table, and they confirmed it's still good. Then she told us to not go anywhere and wait, and asked other tables, which all confirmed that the bills are good. She told us to wait even longer and went to the next door shop to confirm it's still good. Then, she said okay, we can go. We didn't appreciate how we were being treated as criminals. So we decided to ask for a legitimate quittung/rechnung- an actual receipt, not a blank piece of white paper on which she wrote down our order. She smiled and said don't worry about it. We insisted, and she suddenly HUGGED AND ATTEMPTED TO KISS ONE OF OUR FRIENDS ON HER CHEEK! The friend pushed her away because obviously this kind of behaviour is disgusting. We demanded the receipt, then she continued to pretend to be a fickle lady with smiles to send us away. We continued to insist, and another lady showed us some paper saying they don't have the system to print the bills and she can handwrite it. The paper did not even have the name of the restaurant and necessary details to be a legal receipt. THIS RESTAURANT IS CONDUCTING SALES WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ISSUE RECEIPT. That is highly illegal. We only left because we knew there was no other way. I understand - this is some potentially friendly brick and mortar place. We can overlook the bad food, terrible service, and depressing atmosphere. But to treat us like criminals, then suddenly pretending to be our loving grandmother when asked to actually abide the law - this is DISGUSTING. They believe they can get away with this because people are naturally kind. We naturally overlook these things because we want to be helpful and show support during these times. Yet this restaurant has been operating for some time and this seems to be their standard behaviour. Absolutely cannot be tolerated. Never again.

My food was okay but other dish I tried from my friend was really bad. But the service was terrible. It is a very sweet old lady who can melt your heart. But then messes up orders multiple times. And they don’t issue receipts. That’s really not okay.

Delicious food cooked with care, attention to detail and high quality ingredients. It feels homely and the service is perfect. I am deffinitely coming back to try more dishes. :)

Alles hat unterdurchschnittlich geschmeckt, soljanka Fade und sehr dünn, Borscht ungewürzt. Pelemeni komplett zerkocht und ungenießbar, außerdem adjika und „legendäre“ Brot waren nicht dabei :/

The food was decent and the portions were generous. I tried the Ukrainian-style gnocchi. I'm personally not a fan of handwritten bills. Also I wish they had a drinks menu so you didn't have to guess what the price will eventually be.

leicht zu übersehen aber absolutes schmuckstück in neukölln! unfassbar leckeres und frisch zubereitetes essen, sehr lieber service! komme gerne wieder ❤️

Nice welcoming great dishes out and in side seating overall very nice place with some culinary delights

Finom és bőséges volt a pelmenyi, a borscs és a szoljanka is. Kedves, barátságos kiszolgálás, talán a sörválaszték lehetne kicsit jobb :)

Ate potato pancakes with goulash - portion is big in my opinion. It was good. It was just above average Eastern European food?

Mein Besuch in diesem Restaurant war zwiespältig. Die Dame , die uns bedient hat, war freundlich aber aufgrund von Sprachproblemen war die Bestellung schwierig. Meine Kollege und ich wollten ein Bier bestellen. Uns wurde mitgeteilt, dass kein Bier mehr vorhanden sei. Es wurde uns Wein angeboten, den es aber nur in der Geschmacksrichtung halbtrocken gab. Wir haben jeweils Kartoffel-Wareniki mit Champignon-Soße und klassische Galuschki bestellt. Geliefert wurde aber die Spinat-Käse-Wareniki, beide Gerichte wurden in der exakt gleichen Sahne-Soße serviert, wobei die Soße für Wareniki extra mit 3.50 Euro bezahlt werden musste. Der Geschmack der Soße war nicht besonders komplex (Zwiebel und Speck gebräunt, Salz, Pfeffer und dann mit Sahne aufgefüllt). Die Wareniki waren geschmacklich in Ordnung und mein Galuschki sehr weich und eher neutral (fad) im Geschmack. Irgendwann während unseres Aufenthaltes wurde eine Kiste Bier geliefert, welches aber ungekühlt war. Das ganz Restaurant erinnert eher an einen Schnellimbiß mit Sitzplätzen, die Abläufe im Restaurant wirken amateurhaft.

Милое маленькое кафе с уютным интерьером. Вкусная еда, большие порции и адекватные цены. Рекомендуются не только горячие блюда, но и десерты. Это очень круто.

sehr leckeres Essen, große und herzhafte Portionen. schmeckt wir zu Hause

Отличный ресторан, с домашней атмосферой👌

The food is really nice. If you would like to feel home Ukrainian atmosphere - come here. Staff speaks Russian and unfortunately not Ukrainian

food were so tasty and nice!! small nice place and homemade food! we enjoyed 🤩

Unbedingt von der Torte kosten, sonst gibt es Ärger mit dem Betreiber-Team :)

Super leckeres Hausmannsessen von einer ukrainischen Familie. Familiär und mega lecker

Alle drei Gerichte, die wir hatten, waren leider sehr fade und haben nicht geschmeckt. Auch das Ambiente war nicht ansprechend und der Service machte einen unorganisierten Eindruck. Daher können wir das Restaurant leider nicht weiterempfehlen.

Fand das Essen leider nicht so gut. Das Grüne Shakshuka hat nichts mit grün zu tun, sondern erinnerte mich an ne Gemüsepfanne mit Feta! Die Zutaten waren matschig und passten nicht zusammen. Allgemein hatte ich den Eindruck, dass das "Restaurant" unorganisiert und hektisch ist!

Very friendly, and the food was fresh, tasty, and well priced

Замовляли сирники зі сметаною та медовик . Обидві страви були смачні

Wirklich unsagbar leckeres, selbstgemachtes und frisches Essen mit nur authentischen Gerichten. Man kann sich auch raus setzen. Die Auswahl auf der Speisekarte ist nicht zu gering aber auch nicht so in Überfluss, dass man sich nicht entscheiden kann, also genau perfekt. Das Borschtsch was sehr lecker, sowohl in der veganen als auch in der normalen Variante. Einen kleinen Gruß aus der Küche gab es auch noch on top. Die blinis als hauptgericht und auch die ukrainische Galushki waren sehr sehr lecker. Auch die Größe der Portionen war sehr gut wobei hierbei den blinis es etwas mehr hätte sein können. Die Betreiber sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Lediglich das Ambiente im Restaurant selbst könnte man etwas optimieren ansonst gibt es wirklich wenig Kritik. Gerne wieder!

Never never never go in this Place, they serve teflon pfanne to the people with food inside, pretending u gonna eat the food with a Fork from a teflon pfanne. Unbelievable. They dont speak german they dont speak english. This Place should disappear.

Prima plek. Niet ontzettend professioneel, maar lekker eten bij vriendelijke mensen.

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliche Mitarbeiterin

The food was good. Not the exact Gnocchi that one sees but a good one. The portion can be a little bit bigger.

Ein kleines, kuscheliges Lokal, wir wurden mit Aufmerksamkeit, wunderbarem Humor und Liebe zum Detail von der Tochter der Wirtin bedient. Das Essen war super lecker. Vielen Dank für den wunderbaren Abend!

Pelmeni were average at best, Quarkkuchen was also so so, and Bortsch was not great either. It is not the best Ukrainian restaurant in Berlin

The food was delicious. You can see how much love and care they put into their food options.

Чудове кафе, затишна атмосфера, смачнюча кава та тістечка!

Eher zufällig hereingestolpert. Kleines Restaurant mit ukrainischer Küche, Umbau im laufenden Betrieb, ein bisschen chaotisch aber charmant. Gemischtes Publikum, moderate Preise. Und Bisher das beste Shakshuka in Berlin. Pelmeni sahen auch gut aus, Service schnell und freundlich.

A familiar environment and pretty good home style food.

Lovely place with friendly staff and delicious cuisine.

Gnocchi watery n weird Solid pelmeni n wareniki Good borscht but missing the thickness As an ukrainian I missed the sourness in the sour cabbage n spiciness in kimchi Mamaliga was delicious In total many dishes r quite fusion Till the end I haven’t clued out why there restaurant itself is called 3 🐘
