Engelbecken - best schnitzel in Berlin

Wir hatten versucht einen Tisch im Restaurant zu bekommen und konnten nur draußen sitzen, da innen alles ausgebucht sein sollte. Während unseres Aufenthaltes waren bis zu vier Tische im Restaurant unbesetzt. Für uns ist das wirklich traurig, da es zeigt, dass da jemand nicht auf die Bedürfnisse der Göste eingehen möchte.

Incredible Wienerschnitzel. Expensive pricewise, expensive style

Filo dough rolls very tasty, good beer selection (e.g. Waldhaus).

A really nice restaurant, we would love to come back.

My Schnitzel was dry and the meat extremely thin and tasteless. The online picture shows that it should have been accompanied by a sauce I did not get. I picked this restaurant because of its good reviews. The compromised food quality and overcharge on vegetables were most likely because I did not speak German. They charged me 9.5 Euros extra for two small extra vegetables. The other meat dish with the same number of vegetables was only two euros more expensive than the one I picked. The waiter wanted to take the remainder of the money without giving back the change. The change was more than the tip I was going to leave. When asked she did not give me a small change and I had to ask again. As a tourist I felt cheated and the experience was unpleasant.

Great! Had an amazing evening even though we were only able to book short notice. Can only recommend.

Very good Bavarian-Austrian cuisine, interesting crowd, very well booked, very friendly, attentive service, reservation required

Great Schnitzel and apple strudel

Really good food. Honest cuisine, good craftsmanship and humane prices. Service really nice and nice atmosphere.

Always just good! Whether visiting for business or pleasure - the best Wiener Schnitzel in the city :-)

We liked it very much. Decent portions at fair prices and an attentive team. Beautiful compositions served with conviction. We'd love to come back.

Delicious food, very good quality, friendly service

Very good food! The Wiener Schnitzel and the crusty roast are particularly recommended.

Very good food, very friendly. Bavarian cuisine

A great summer evening with really nice waiters inside, delicious drinks and good food...great atmosphere inside and outside

Excellent quality food, well presented and with beautiful flavours. A wide choice of dishes that change on a daily basis so never boring or repetitive. It's a pleasure to visit as there will always be something new to try on the menu. The most friendly staff. One cannot say they have tried Berlin cuisine without visiting Engelbecken. Congratulations!

Fantastic service and atmosphere. Awesome food

Nach längerer Zeit (warum fragen wir uns) endlich mal wieder im Engelbecken reserviert. Freundliche Begrüßung! Tisch wie bestellt im angenehm eingerichtetem Restaurant. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam und zugewandt. Wir aßen diesmal vegetarisch und waren von der Qualität und optischen Präsentation sehr angetan, Ungewöhnlich die saisonalen Tomaten-Kreationen. Absolute Empfehlung!

Extremely great schnitzel and very tasty beer. The service maintains an overview even when there is a bit more hustle and bustle. We would love to come back!

A nice, down-to-earth restaurant with very good cuisine. It is not a star restaurant, so there are no excessive decorations or tiny portions. There are freshly cooked dishes from local cuisine (German-Austrian). So Wiener Schnitzel with potato salad, roast pork with coleslaw and crust. The breading on the schnitzel could have risen a little better, the sauce on the roast pork tasted a bit like a sauce thickener, but overall everything was of good quality. The service was nice, fast and friendly and our various special requests (5 people) were also correctly taken into account. We had a nice time sitting outside and would love to come back.

Everything was delicious, clean, spacious, welcoming environment, really friendly, super attentive staff. Highly recommended if you want to try genuine, typical cuisine in an environment that makes you feel at home even if you are a tourist...

At the end of a great day we were invited here by Auntie. Very good food, nice service and “Berlin flair”.

Very good schnitzel here, ordered with someone and had a really good time. It was one of the best ones I have ever tasted. I highly recommend it if you are visiting Berlin!

It is simply an on point favorite place of the 💛 smart traveling app 💛

Very nice service. I had a very tasty veal schnitzel with fried potatoes. Parking situation a bit difficult. Nice view of a park. Exceptional beer. We sat outside on a bench. We were immediately offered blankets because it wasn't that warm in the evening.

On a warm summer evening we had dinner there after a 5-hour drive. Organic beef boiled beef and the Wiener Schnitzel were excellent. The staff was very, very friendly and attentive. Price-performance are balanced. We had a very, very nice evening.

Everything is very delicious and the service is 100%

Simply beautiful here. Friendly service and great ambience.

Very tasty food in beautiful surroundings. The waiters who served us were also very friendly :)

A good place, food very good, service attentive...I like being here.

We had the best experience in this lovely restaurant. The waiters were very welcoming and had a good sens of humor! We laughed so much and had delicious schnitzel. I would recommend this place 100% if you want to have a fun family/friend time felt just like home

We felt comfortable here. Trendy corner in the middle of a great restaurant with great service and delicious food.

Probably after a generational change in the restaurant and 22 years of eating here, everything is no longer as fantastic as it always was. The cucumber and potato salad doesn't really taste good anymore; The schnitzel now lacks any flavor and the great vegetarian starter platter is not only very reduced but also squeezed onto a small rectangular plate so that you can't even eat it with your eyes. The other dishes on the menu also used to have more flair and a special taste. The salad, however, is still the best you can order in a restaurant! Unfortunately, it's no fun that you can't even reserve a table for eight people (on a Wednesday evening) eight days in advance. Eight people were too many at once. When we are there, the staff are generally friendly as ever.

Nicest staff and delicious food.

We make sure we eat at this wonderful place when we are in Berlin. Great staff, great food.

Delicious Viennese schnitzel. Thank you for that. Gladly again.

A big pleasure. Great team, great food for years and always attentive, nice service. Thanks!

Service (the standard is very low in Berlin anyway), atmosphere, right down to the food, was good. I think the design of the restaurant is the best thing about the Engel Becken. But it was all very traditional and there was just a little bit of perfection missing (in every course) to say that it was something special. I have to say, I didn't try the schnitzel but we ordered other dishes that evening. Maybe the schnitzel really is the best here.

Ich war gestern zum Essen dort, Tegernseer Brauhaus ist der slogan und habe mir ein Backhendl bestellt. 16,80 € hab ich gedacht, ok. bekommen habe ich ein Stück panierte Hähnchenbrust, ca 100 gramm. An allen anderen tischen sahen die Portionen allerdings gut aus. Die Bedienung war zauberhaft. Der Tellerbote, wahrscheinlich der Chef eher unverbindlich.

A big plus point was the cleanliness of the toilets, which were always in immaculate condition. The food was OK, but not outstanding. I've eaten better and the quality of the food could be improved. Still, the selection was acceptable and there were some good options. A particular highlight was the service. Our waiter was incredibly funny and knew exactly what he was doing. He served us very well and created a pleasant atmosphere. His friendly and professional manner significantly enhanced the visit and made us laugh. Overall, the visit to the restaurant was satisfactory. The excellent cleanliness of the toilets and the excellent service from the waiter made up for any small deficiencies in the food. I would recommend the restaurant because of the great service and clean environment and would happily come back.

small menu, good food, nice service. Indoor and outdoor seating

Super delicious food and even gluten-free schnitzels!!!

Bavarian food, not refined but ok

Nach einem halben Jahr wieder da., nachdem wir letztes Jahr enttäuscht worden sind. ist alles wieder gut in gewohnter Manier.Essen sehr lecker.Portionen groß War das letzte Mal wohl ein Ausrutscher.

I work not far from this restaurant in a cafe. My parents came to Berlin for the first time and wanted a typical German restaurant, several customers of my café recommended this restaurant to me and it was an incredible surprise!! Very friendly atmosphere, very very good quality dishes at affordable prices. Our experience was enhanced by Serge's kindness, we had a lot of laughs with him, I hope you will have the chance to meet him too! I will go back soon I think!

Staff is rude and arrogant, after complaining that we wait for 40 min for starter, he responds that we waited ONLY for 32 min. No sorry, no excuse. That's the attitude.

Lovely experience here. Great food, good location. Best experience was the superb service. Very polite and friendly and went out of the way to help. Not sure of the guys name (good looking shaved head man with glases) bug really made the experience a great one. Thanks again!

Excellent food and very good place! Serge's attention and good vibes were impeccable! 100% recommendable

Nice pub character, very nice and attentive service, food quantity ok, quality good, prices peppered. Sometimes very loud inside when small children are playing. Dessert “Bavarian Cream” (a really small bowl -handful) for 9.50 euros, ugh. The bill for four people (no starter, one main course, one drink and only one dessert for everyone to share >>> 130 euros without tip).

It’s lovely to sit outside, enjoy the beautiful neighborhood and some good food.

Good, nice service, very good food, pleasant atmosphere, gladly again.

Das Ambiente ist ganz schön und der Service durch die jungen Damen aufmerksam und zügig. Ärgerlich ist aber, dass an einem Samstag sowohl das Schweineschnitzel als auch der Krustenbraten aus ist. Das darf einer solchen Gastronomie nicht passieren. Für einen rote Beetesalat mit Feldsalat 11,50 € zu verlangen, bei dem die rote Beete, meiner Meinung nach, ein Convenienceprodukt ist, finde ich überzogen. Das kleine Kalbsschnitzel mit einem Löffel Kartoffelsalat 22,00 € zu verlangen, macht die Sache nicht besser. Wer viel Geld ausgeben möchte für vermeintlich wenig Gegenleistung ist hier richtig.

Wonderful, fresh food and an incredibly kind and attentive staff! Really a great evening! The schnitzel is awesome! Thanks

It's a shame, I still know you from your time in Kreuzberg, your service and especially the food were always good there. Unfortunately, our last visit was more than disappointing. We were supposed to wait at the counter for our reserved table, no problem, but we stood at the counter between tablets with cleared glasses and in the way of the service staff. We weren't offered a drink here at first. The quality of the food was sobering, a roast without a crust, roughly chopped red cabbage, the large Wienerschnitzel consisted of 3 small parts, with a small dollop of potato salad. I really hope that this is just a blip and not a new found thrift.

A safe bank for years, good food, good service. But the espresso is simply undrinkable. So today ***. Have the machine cleaned and adjusted. And train the staff. Please!

Good food with organic meat and prepared with sophistication! Had a beetroot salad which was the best I have ever eaten!

I've been going there with family and friends for years. Ambiance, food and service are great. There is usually something seasonal too. Only recommended.

A great place. A family-friendly restaurant. Delicious schnitzel, good Bavarian freshly tapped beer and super friendly, quick service from Serge. Reserve and go!

My relationship with this restaurant has been going on for many years and yet I have only been there twice. I was born here in Munich about 15 years ago. The impression left by this visit lasts to this day. Never before, nor since, had I eaten such a great Wiener Schnitzel. But is this really true? Present. With less time to spare, this restaurant was targeted. The first time in 15 years that the time and place matched. The waiter? Fantastic. The drink selection? Hometown. The schnitzel? Phenomenal. And the apple strudel? If I had to come up with an internationally valid definition of apple stoodle, this would be this pattern. I recommend every fan of Bavarian cuisine to go to Berlin and experience it.

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. The food, atmosphere and service were all great

Not sure why we picked this restaurant, it is way off from Berlin mitte. We got in taxi and took off, most of Berlin blocked by police due to demonstrations- we ended up with a 35 minute taxi ride. Such as life. That again stole valuable time from our fixed time slot by the table. Arriving was a blessing, packed restaurant, meet by a very attentive staff, got a different table where we could sit and enjoy a long as we wanted. Relaxed atmosphere, family, friends and business all a good blend. Ordering was fast, service first class. We chose this location to get away from the clogged down tourist locations. Great place , selection of food limited but first class. We had the veal schnitzel and strudel for desert. Just perfect, as we had been longing for.

Reviews and the menu whetted the appetite for the Bavarian cuisine of the Engel Becken. But the reality was disappointing: the selected dishes tasted bland or stale (from the day before?) and lacked character. It's a shame, good cuisine can be different!

Food was great! Highly recommended!

Catastrophe! With all these 5-star reviews, I now have to describe my view of this establishment. We were there for my mother-in-law's birthday. It was a disaster and the most terrible restaurant visit I've ever had in Berlin. The drinks didn't come for ages (30 minutes). The birthday child's meal was simply forgotten, then a completely different dish arrived. No apology. The dish she actually ordered actually didn't arrive until we were all finished. The arrogant waiter just dismissed the whole thing with cheeky “jokes” (“Well now you get it to take away and I’ll tie a bow around it”). There was a fat, black hair in my husband's salad, and when we wanted to return the salad, there was no apology, in fact, NOT EVEN A NEW SALAD came, but the saying that "I looked for the salad in the kitchen with a magnifying glass and “None found.” So we were also portrayed as liars. We now wanted to speak to the owner, who apologized and graciously said that we could each choose “a dessert or a drink on the house”. To be honest, I would have expected a little more for a birthday party that went badly wrong and everyone went home sad. With such disastrous service and such poor treatment of guests, I feel resentful when I see these reviews here. We were there years ago and something similar happened. Either we're not the kind of people who like having the angel pool sitting next to us, or people don't know what good service is anymore.

You get the feeling that the prices are increased every six months and then with a bang. The price-performance ratio is no longer right

One of our favorite restaurants. The veal schnitzel is very tasty and can also be ordered with fried potatoes. But the changing vegetarian dishes are also highly recommended. There are actually always 2-3 changing vegetarian main courses.

Lovely evening with endearingly attentive service. Both of our dishes, crusty roast and lamb plantlets, tasted excellent and were very well put together with both the side dishes and the sauces. First there was a delicious clear goose broth and for dessert a skilful combination of filled chocolate pancakes with cinnamon ice cream. Good value for money! Highly recommended!

Restaurant in Charlottenburg. Offer organic quality meat. This is of course reflected in the prices. The salad with the fried chicken (19.50) had collapsed. Wheat beer 400 ml 5.90, red wine 7.50 the cheapest glass. Desserts from €9.00. Then we bit back on them.

Top restaurant, good service. Great value for money and very generous portions

Musik wäre toll !!! Essen ist immer wieder phänomenal!!!

Liebe Geschäftsführer des Engelbecken Wir waren bis dato aeusserst zufriedene Gäste Ihres Lokals. Seit unserer 3 letzten Besuche hat sich alles mehr ins Negative entwickelt. Es geht bei der Reservierung los weiter mit der Kleidung von verschiedenen Bedienungen weiter mit dem modifizierten Essenspreis und auch der präsentierten Gerichte. Siehe Foto im Anhang. Jetzt die Erklärung: Weinpreis von 0.2 auf 0.1 berechtigte Erhöhung?????. Kalbshackbraten: Eine Oval servierte Boulette kartoffelgratin und Wirsing in unverschämt kleiner Miniatur Ausgabe. Beim Schweinebraten erwartet man eine klare Jus keine abgebundene Soße. Topfenknödel: mehr Grieß wie Quark habe bei Ihnen des öfteren wesentlich bessere Topfenknödel gegessen keine Füllung und neutraler Geschmack (Kenne das Rezept). Leider ist die Atmosphäre nicht mehr so wie in vergangenen Jahren Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Sehr gutes Essen, eher kleine Portionen. Eher teuer, aber aufgrund der Qualität sicher seinen Preis wert.

Super Essen und super Atmosphäre. Wir waren gegen 17:30 Uhr dort und hatten den Tisch reserviert. Es gute besucht zu der Zeit.

Österreichische Küche in bester Qualität , tolles Sortiment an Wein

Das Engelbecken ist einfach jedesmal eine sehr gute Adresse zum Essen. Ob Mittagessen oder zu Zweit zum Abendessen einfach sehr gut. Kompliment an die Küche es ist jedesmal ein Schmaus hier zu Essen

Seit 7 Jahren nehme ich mir vor hier Essen zu gehen. Jetzt hat meine Freundin einen Tisch reserviert und hat mich am 30. Damit überrascht. Ich bin begeistert. Super leckeres und qualitativ hochwertiges Essen. Preise sind der Qualität und dem super Service entsprechend fair! Es war ein toller Abend und ich komme mit Sicherheit wieder ❣️

Sehr leckeres Essen, extrawünsche wurden ohne Probleme erfüllt. Hatte das Schnitzel. Portion war angenehm. Nicht zu groß und nicht zu klein. Drinnen eher unspektakulär. Komme gerne im Sommer wieder um draußen zu sitzen.

Für mich persönlich eines der besten Wiener Schnitzel in Berlin, allerdings auch Tagesform. Es variiert in der Qualität (Würze und Geschmack). Der Kartoffelsalat dazu ist ebenfalls sehr lecker, könnte aber etwas großzügiger ausfallen. Das Personal ist für Berliner Verhältnisse sehr nett und zuborkommend und das Ambiente ist ganz nett. Etwas im Stile eines Österreichischen Restaurants. Die Dessert Auswahl könnte noch etwas üppiger sein. Preis Leistung ist ok, allerdings etwas gehobener für die Größe der Portionen. Ich kann das Restaurant allerdings sehr empfehlen und wünsche viel Spaß beim Ausprobieren 😃

Managed to get a late reservation here, the food was incredible and the staff made us all feel so welcome on our first night in Berlin.

Kleine Auswahl, sehr gutes Essen auch eine vegetarische und vegane Variante. Es empfiehlt sich zu reservieren

Schönes Restaurants, kinderfreundliches Personal, leckeres Essen. Empfehlenswert!

Feine deutsch/österreichische Wirtshausküche von über die Jahre gleichbleibenden sehr hohen Qualität und Niveau. Sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Sehr aufmerksamer Service. Reservierung unbedingt erforderlich. Man punktet hier auch bei einem Geschäftsessen. Auch für Vegetarier eine sehr gute Adresse.

Sehr leckeres hausgemachtes Essen

War ein wunderbarer Abend und die Ente war köstlich! Danke und bis bald!

Eines der besten Wiener Schnitzel in Berlin! Wochenende/Abends sollte man reservieren. Preislich etwas gehoben aber super lecker und große Portionen!

Sehr nettes Restaurant mit guter Speise und nettem Personal.

wow ich war begeistert komme wieder

Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre mit aufmerksamem Service und köstlichen Speisen

Uns würde sehr gutes Essen angeboten

Die Reservierung wurde leider nicht eingehalten

Sehr guter Service und gutes Essen

Gemütlich-uriges Restaurant mit deutsch/österreichischer Küche, bei der auch Vegetarier/Veganer auf ihre Kosten kommen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, die Speisenauswahl ist groß und alle bestellten Gerichte haben uns gut geschmeckt. Toll ist, dass das verwendete Fleisch Bio-Qualität hat und auch für Vegetarier mehrere Gerichte zur Auswahl stehen. Die Bier- und Weinauswahl lassen ebenfalls keine Wünsche offen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Das Essen war hervorragend. Ich habe noch nie ein so leckeres veganes Gericht gegessen: Bovist mit Erbsenpüree und Fenchelgemüse. Wir haben Glück gehabt, dass wir ohne Reservierung einen Tisch zu zweit bekommen haben. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es ist ein eher rustikales Ambiente mit Holztischen und Holzstühlen, dazu Stoffservietten. Die Kronleuchter leuchten den Raum hell aus. Kein Lokal für ein Candellightdinner aber ein Lokal für ein ehrliches, gutes Essen!

Immer voll und immer laut. Das Essen ist sehr gut und frisch. Das Personal sehr freundlich, aber nicht besonders begabt. Wenn der Laden voll ist, ist der Service und die Küche überfordert. Nicht preiswert. Einrichtung ist ja immer Geschmackssache, ich finde es nicht sehr gemütlich. Sauber, auch die Toilette. Wenn man in der Nähe ist und ein gutes Schnitzel liebt, ist man hier richtig.

Lovely dinner, the food is delicious. The best schnitzel and venison strudel! The pumpkin puree was superb! Thank you 😊

Das Essen ist etwas zu teuer für die gebotene Qualität und Groesse der Portionen

Man sollte über 60 sein, sonst fällt man auf.

Great indoor and outdoor seating. The food is delicious and innovatively presented.

Immer wieder super! Bis zum nächsten Besuch im Engelbecken!

Das Essen ist an sich gut. Ich fand die Portion leider etwas klein, ich hatte das Backhändel und der Salat war eher unspektakulär und durch den radicchio sehr bitter. Zum Kartoffelsalat kann ich nicht viel sagen, da ich generell kein großer Fan davon bin. Überzeugt hat dieser mich der aber nicht. Der Service ist super und das Ambiente ist auch schön. Preislich ist das Engelbecken im oberen Preissegment.
