Mabuhay in Berlin - Telefonnummer, Reservierungen, Bewertungen

Pro tip: If you're a little pookie bear you get free spring rolls. Highly recommend. The staff is really nice and you can even make reservations (wow!). Overall experience: slay/10.

When I discovered its location, I wasn't sure about this restaurant. Despite its location under an old and sketchy apartment building, the food turned out to be quite good.

Such a nice, hidden place. The food was super delicious and the people very sweet! You will definitely like it here!

Not the same kitchen as before…

EN// If you are searching for Indonesian food, search elsewhere. They recently switched owners it seems from an Indonesian couple to an Indian man which is why there is now Indian food here. The Indonesian food that I loved that was here before is now gone, replaced with food that can not be called Indonesian food, not very tasty either. Just like, edible. Service was okay, Indian owner mixed up what I ordered at the time I wanted to pay and wanted me to pay more because of it, but I think it's also because he was alone at that busy time so I can forgive it (I paid the correct amount btw won't pay more for what I got there), still wasn't a pleasant experience. Basically, I won't be coming back. However, if you are searching for affordable food with not much expectations or would like to eat Indian food that is very affordable go ahead. But if the taste is the most important to you look elsewhere. I would also recommend for the restaurant to change the name and not put Indonesian food below the restaurant name, if you can't deliver, don't advertise that. Please. --- EN// If you're looking for Indonesian food, look elsewhere. This restaurant appears to have recently changed ownership, from an Indonesian couple to an Indian, which is why they now serve Indian food. The Indonesian food that I used to love here is now gone and has been replaced by food that cannot be called Indonesian food and is not very tasty either. Just... edible. The service was well, the Indian owner mixed up my order at the time I wanted to pay and wanted me to pay more because of it, but I think that's also because he was alone at that busy time, so can I forgive it (of course I ended up paying the right amount), but it still wasn't a pleasant experience. So I won't be coming back. However, if you are looking for affordable food and don't have high expectations or want to enjoy Indian food at very affordable prices then go for it. But if taste is most important to you, look elsewhere. I would also recommend the restaurant to change the name and not put Indonesian food under the restaurant. If you can't cook it, just leave it alone. Please.

Small shop with extremely reasonable prices. A portion costs just €6.50 at lunchtime and a Cola Zero costs €1.50. Absolutely nothing special in terms of taste and barely salted. Unfortunately the staff was very unfriendly.

The food is decent. Though the menu says spicy, it’s not spicy, it was tangy. The restaurant accepts only cash and it is self service. We went during lunch and it was a fixed menu. I would try out the other dishes, especially the Beef rendang.

CHANGE OF OWNER AND THUS FOOD TASTE AND QUALITY. This place used to be owned by an Indonesian woman and her husband. Many of the waitresses were Indonesian. Now the owner and the staff have changed, they were mostly Indian and the food are no longer the Indonesian food it used to be. We were always looking forward to come here. After my last visit I would not come back.

Delicious food, friendly atmosphere, quiet neighborhood! The service was friendly and helpful! Highly recommended

Delicious food and friendly service. Very fair prices too 🙂

Simple, affordable, good quality, friendly, perfect for students...

Pretty small run down shop with cheap prices and good food. But honestly I would only go there at lunchtime. Unfortunately they have changed their menu and there is now more Indian. Service was always quite unfriendly, but now you have to order inside and pick up your food yourself.

We stumbelld upon this place at random, and I could not ne more pleased. The food was phenominal! I had the butter chicken and it was hands down the best indian food I have ever had! The owners were very welcoming, kind, and lovely to chat with. The atmosphere was so cozy, warm light and a dining area on the smaller side made it feel snugg and warm. Exekent food, ontop of warm and welcoming atmosohere, combined with cheap prices. Make this a absolute must go if you find yourself in the area. And definetly worth to travel a further distance aswell!

The location is really not nice. In a backyard. BUT... don't be put off. The food is soooo delicious. The service was super nice. Really delicious food. Definitely try it. Don't miss it

Pöfff, I've known this restaurant for ages, I can't believe how you can eat there?? Very unclean, you should see the kitchen, there are cockroaches running around there. When I walk past I feel sick and feel sorry for people without knowing that they are eating there.

Amazing food, huge portions, great price, great service with awesome English. I went here without expectations but got one hell of a surprise and awesome experience.

Very nice and professional service, delicious fresh food, very favorable prices

The food is really tasty, big portions too. The staff is really nice and the location is easy to find. Prices are really good too. 10/10 recommend for the best indian/indonisean food

The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. The food was also excellent. Although the area was a bit questionable, overall the restaurant is highly recommended!

If you are looking for Indonesian food experience don’t come here. It is not even close to the cuisine. Do not recommend :(

A small but very authentic place. The staff is very nice and in the summer they have a terrace.

We chose a dish, they didn't have it. We chose another one, they didn't have it either. The area/square is not very nice, or the inside of the place. The waiter and personnel were nice and friendly, and the food was ok. The pakoras were very tasty.

BEWARE TOURIST TRAP. ALL REVIEWS HERE ARE BOUGHT OR FAKE. This is a small shop in a shabby, run-down back yard. Never in my life will a store like this have 1,500 REAL reviews. The meat had a very strange consistency, as if it had been heated many times. Hot sauce was used to try to reconsider the condition of the meat. The fish had absolutely no taste. The fried tofu was also completely tasteless and dripping with fat. There are Visa and MasterCard stickers on the door, but suddenly only cash was accepted when paying. There is no cash register, you have to list what you had again while he types the amounts into a calculator. Everything is very dubious in the store.

Can’t recommend it unfortunately. The rice and chicken were really overcooked. Couldn’t even finish it. Shame as I have eaten here a few years ago and the food was great. However, prices are very good.

Very nice place. Friendly staff and great food. If you like it spicy tell them before ordering. I went here twice during my stay in Berlin.

After the big change, I scarcely find anything related with Indonesian cuisine here. Two dishes we ordered didn't come close to anything Indonesian. It tasted OK but the authenticity couldn't be delivered. I think they might be better with Indian cuisine, but a big No from me if you would seek anything Indonesian. What a pity. This place used to serve a very good meal before.

Delicious food and that for a very good price.

Really good food, amazing service. Couldn’t have picked a better place to eat.

A discovery! Delicious Rendang and Sapi Curry. Friendly service in a simple but excellent and very affordable restaurant.

GADO GADO is back and more delicious than ever!!!! And the dish is so big you definetly should come very hungry and you'll be happy when you leave 100%! staff is so friendly, it's just incredible

Can easily recommend this place if you are around potsdamerplatz. You get a nice balance of price to quality and taste ratio here. And the service was also top notch. Having tried both their Indian and Asian dishes I can say you won't go wrong with either choice.

Die Leute vor Ort sind super freundlich, das Essen ist schnell auf dem Tisch und die Gerichte schmecken super. Preisleistung ist nicht zu schlagen. Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder her kommen.

Mabuhay shines brightly amidst the corporate landscape of Potsdamer Platz. It's a rare find—a small, family-run Vietnamese restaurant thriving where few local businesses dare to venture. Located in this bustling area, Mabuhay offers a refreshing escape with its warm ambiance and delicious Vietnamese cuisine. The restaurant's success is a testament to its exceptional food and dedicated service, all delivered with a personal touch that reflects the care and passion of its owners. It's worth noting that Mabuhay's popularity during lunch hours can make it challenging to secure a seat promptly. However, from my experience, the wait is well worth it. The food is exceptional, and the prices are reasonable, making it a standout choice in the neighborhood. Even if you have to wait a few extra minutes, the dining experience at Mabuhay is truly worth it. The bustling atmosphere during lunchtime is a testament to its popularity among locals and visitors alike, drawn by the restaurant's reputation for flavorful dishes and friendly service.

Small restaurant that doesn't look like much, off the tourist trails. Meal served very quickly, really very very good and at an unbeatable price. We will most likely come back to eat there!

Very tasty food (Rendang and Ayam Belado) for fair prices. Service is friendly and strives to be helpful. It's situated in a sort of backyard with simple wooden furniture outside.

Great service and great food,everything is perfect!

Very tasty and cheap lunch menu. I had M5. Beef was tender and flavorful. I would recommend if you are nearby. Basically self-service. You order and pay at the front with cash. When the food is ready, you will need to go get it. Lunch time is very packed. I don’t think they have enough people to work there. I would wash their dishes because the food was so tasty.

Not great quality food, and there is no Indonesian food, menu has neither good Indonesian nor good Indian food. Bad flavours feels like veggie cooked in canned tomatoes with weird spices. Extremely oily food with oil floating out.

Amazing food and great price during lunch hours. Curry with beef is my front runner so far. See pix below!

Very friendly, fast service. The tables are cleaned for each guest. New interestingly seasoned dishes. Top meat and vegetables. Prices way, way too cheap. Yes, the high-rise courtyard is not the prettiest, Doesn't change the great food.

Super tasty and unbeatable price! An absolute recommendation 🤩

The food was really delicious and inexpensive. Beer prices are also super fair. I had beef, which was very tender. In terms of taste it had a note of clove, never eaten like that before but delicious. The ambience is now rather semi-nice. The prefabricated building in which the restaurant is located is pretty run down. The restaurant itself doesn't have many seats inside and two beer tables outside.

Small, hidden restaurant. Food, service and price were ok, but the ambience could be significantly improved. Unfortunately, the map you see on the internet is no longer up to date. Unfortunately, most Indonesian dishes are no longer available - Indian cuisine is predominantly served, so the term “Indonesian restaurant” is, in my opinion, rather misleading.

Less expensive, good taste. Nothing much to say. Lady owner looks quite annoyed when she see the rush in afternoon.

Hidden treasure in Berlin for budget eats. Food is decent with an interesting selection of drinks. My friend recommend the homemade ice tea with lemon.

This place used to be great with friendly owners and cheap but delicious authentic Indonesian food. However, since there is a change in owners the food drastically changed. Half of their menu still consists of Indonesian dishes, but it doesn’t taste like that anymore. The Rendang doesn’t taste like Rendang (more like a curry with strange spices) and even the rice was not cooked well. I’m sorry for leaving a low review, but I’m just really disappointed.

Food was ok for the price. Visually it is Indonesian food, but the taste is far from it, as there are simply a lot of ingredients missing, which was not to be expected given the price. The aromatic diversity was missing. Therefore 4 stars because the price/performance ratio is somewhere ok. The service focuses on mass processing and not on service, which is perhaps necessary for lunch here. Extremely tight and stuffy inside, but outside you have sparrows around you and you shouldn't jump on the chair with the visiting rat because it wouldn't be able to stand it. Hence the ambience is authentically Indonesian.

Great food and value for money! Would return happily.

Food was average. With enough chilies then it's fine. The woman who works there was very unfriendly and rude. It's cheap, but I'd rather look for something else

We were truly delighted. Spot totally hidden, keep patiance while seeking. One of the biggest positive suprise so far. Service was incredibly good. The food is tasty, the quality is first class, the meat melts in a certain way, very high direct prices beyond belief. The dishes cost around 8-9€ and they are huge. Being good understand - it is quite humble and in some parts even untidy, but if u do not care I highly recommend!

Nice lunch place and fine prices

Small, busy Indonesian restaurant. If you want, it reminds you of the same design standards that warungs often pursue in Indonesia. The food (Sate Ayam, chicken with peanut sauce 6.50 EUR) tasted good and was excellent for the price. Thirst-quenching with an exotic touch: Es Jeruk (cold lime).

Just having our dinner tonight in this restaurant. We are 2 person trying 3 kinds of main menu, it was beef rendang which good even the taste of the herbs mostly to Indian taste cos as we see now all the worker there come from India. The second was Chicken Balado which the taste also good, a little sweet cos I assumed it was used sweet soya too. And the last was my favourite n I'm really happy cos I order this one, it was Ayam Pecel. The chicken was fried crispy outside but inside was soft, so tender. And the sambal pouring above was very delicious. Even the composition of Indonesian food become more less than before and now more many Indian food, but I still very recommended this restaurant n don't forgot to order the Ayam Pecel especially for Indonesian or asian people.

We really enjoyed this little restaurant!! The atmosphere is warm and the servers very friendly. Following the server's recommendation, we tried the Ayam Belado which was absolutely delicious!! It's worth the detour!

I've never eaten so crazy. But the small restaurant was busy and the food was delicious.

First of all, it must be said that the service is wonderful, very nice, tries its best and does everything we ask. The food is very good, the quality is first class, the meat melts in your mouth, the portions are very large and the price is unbelievable, it's very cheap. The dishes in the photos cost around 8-9€ and the drinks were very good. The place itself could be a little tidier in appearance, but if that doesn't scare you, you certainly won't be disappointed. I recommend it and will come back every chance I get in Berlin.

Service was great, quick and nice, but unfortunately the food wasn't that tasty.. we were totally disappointed.. we were drawn to this restaurant because of the many positive reviews on Google.. but: food is always a matter of taste.. Luckily you can't complain about the prices... 6.50 euros for a large portion of Bami Goreng and 1.50 euros for 0.2 Cola/Fanta/etc. (2024!) Unfortunately we don't recommend it

Lovely authentic restaurant with very friendly staff. The rendang and fried chicken was really tasty!

Delicious food, great prices, sometimes communication difficulties due to language barriers.

Very good inexpensive food. Ambiance in the prefabricated building is not so nice.

Very good and tasty food. Nice experience . Highly Recommended 👌

Very tasty Indonesian and Indian food. Relaxed atmosphere!

the tofu masala and bhatura was delicious. Great service too

We found this place on Google and all the good reviews convinced us to go there and give it a try. That was a super decision. The guy running the business is super friendly and helpful. The food was also a great surprise. Really delicious and pretty cheap for Berlin standards. Maybe preparation time could be better, but that is the only downside. For 2 dishes and 4 beers we paid 27euros.

I went there on Friday, service was super friendly and fast. i tried creamy spinach with cheese and bathura which was amazing and also price is very reasonable. I recommend it!

The food was very average - i had a tofu curry - and the service was very bad Might be new owners, but nowhere near 4.5 stars

Place has totally changed. Rendang was extremely disappointing. I have very fond memories of this place but I will not be coming back anymore. Terrible service. Terrible food. German owner however is very charming.

A small, almost hidden restaurant with Indian and Indonesian cuisine. The food tastes good. Service and ambience can be significantly improved. The prices are reasonably low.

Very good food! I do not understand what some people are complaining about, as the food was great (especially the duck -bebek curry). What I can say, is that it gets remarkably full- to a point where you have to que to get a table.. But the manager is very nice and arranged another table for us! Definitely worth a visit. Update 2024: Food is still very cheap, main courses between 6-9.50€, Rendang is still very good, but the chicken dishes definetly used to be a lot better. It is however very chaotic. We went on a thursday afternoon, and first got the wrong food, then I got my food but my partner got nothing, we then shared my dish - and after over an hour my partners still did not come. We also got the wrong drinks, but decided to keep them over probably not getting any.. After inquiring about the rest of our food, it turns out they just gave her food away, because they forgot whose it was.. The waiters were very kind, but I think the manager needs to overhaul his service strategy..

We went to eat the menu of the day on a Friday. It was very good, the truth is that for 6.5 euros per person we ate, a plate well presented and with quantity. It's true that the place looks like you can't even imagine that they have a kitchen, but we were pleasantly surprised. The lady who served us was not very friendly and did not let us pay by card, however, we liked the experience and I recommend it

So, me and two of my friends arrived here on the recommendation of our mutual friends. We arrived at approximately 7:15, and the waiter came to take our order. At about 7:47, he came once again and asked “Did you not get anything yet” and thought we were already served with our food. Moreover, we had ordered a sprite, and even after waiting until 8:02pm, nothing was served to us. Highly disappointed, thinking that this place serves authentic Indonesian cuisine. At most, the waiters were incompetent, and lack of generosity for guests who are actually interested in the cuisine. I hope they realize that this goes a long way in showing how they treat their customers. Will not be returning here ever again, and will advise others from doing the same.

Unfortunately we didn't receive any food after 30 minutes. Instead we were able to order from each of the 3 employees. When they said the order had been lost we left the restaurant without anything to eat or drink. Cleanliness could be better, friendliness was good.

A small and homey family business. The place is small but the staff are super friendly. The food is very nice too, we tried 2 curry dishes.

Food was super tasty and also cheap. Mega lovely people there.

Classic unfriendly service but very nice dishes. The opening hours are similar to the ones of a German local municipal office, so be aware - the time window is narrow and there are not many seats.

Insane good food! Been there twice when i was in Berlin, great place and good prices! Want to go back there when i come back. Amazing duck, spring rolls and the tea of jasmin

A real warung in Berlin! Super authentic flavors and very large portions at a very good price. The sate ayam, served on a plate (without skewers) had a delicious sauce, and the kari tahu teleported us to Indonesia. I recommend trying the sambal that is in the little white jars, it is very spicy.

Wow. Absolutely fabulously delicious authentic nasi goreng. Large portions, low prices and very fast service. Had it with a ginger tea made with fresh ginger. Highly recommended. Be aware though that there is limited seating. We came just after they opened for lunch at 1130 and were the second there. When we left just after 1200 hrs every table was occupied or reserved. So, either arrive early or book a table. You won’t regret it.

Well i had something else in mind when i ordered Gulai Ikan (fish in curry sauce) 😅 but the food that i got was still yummy. PLUS it was only 6,5€ during lunch time. IN THIS ECONOMY??? The iced tea with lemon was also very good and costs only 2,5€. I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for a quick, cheap, and yummy lunch!

Cheap (one of the cheapest in berlin), quick and delicious meals. Close to the Philharmonie so a great choice for a lunch or dinner before a concert. Also a small free gallery close by. Kinda hard to find the place but worth a visit.

In an area where there's not too many good restaurants that aren't overpriced, this is really a spectacular gem! When I worked close by I used to go here often for lunch and the food has always been great. Especially for 5€ (probably a little more now), can’t complain at all. Can get very full after 12.30 and can get hard to then get a table. You can reserve though. Take out is possible too, but isn’t super quick either.

The owner is such a kind and warm person. Wonderful and authentic Indonesian food. Great curry.

Very good bang for buck. Host was very friendly and forthcomming. Incredibly delicious soulfood. Highly recommended! 5/5

Best and only Indonesian Cuisine in Berlin! Most excellent eating 👍

Good for lunch. Might be overcrowded in the lunch time. No reason to be there out of lunch time

The food was nice and at a very good price. The menu on Google maps wasn't up to date, so I posted the new prices, which are still very good.

Very tasty food. Big portions. Great price. Owner managed.

Nice restaurant with a large selection of vegetarian dishes

You get what u paid for, Very cheap because the rice is undercooked and Super Crispy, I took one bite and couldn’t eat anymore, needed to take it away :(

The surroundings are not really pretty nor welcoming but once inside this little restaurant, you find a cosy place with very good food in generous portion at an unbeatable price, and a smiling person.

Very good Indonesian food for fair prices! This review comes from a Filipino-Japanese who loves these flavors.

Lovely owner, great service, tasty overall only chicken a bit dry & beef a bit salty

Wer die indonesische Küche feiert sollte hier definitiv mal vorbeischauen. Sehr leckere Gerichte mit vielen Gewürzen.

Decent restaurant. The food tasted good and the price was also fine! Very small restaurant, you better reserve a place!

I got here at 12.01 and the place was packed. It opens at 12. Some tables were "reserved", for the right number of people. So I got chatting with a group of 6 and we now had the magical 8 for those two tables together. The food here is quick, tasty and cheap. €6 for lunch, which is crazy cheap, especially in Berlin. Keep an eye out for the chilli oil, it might be on another table, but it's 👌🔥

Klein aber fein! Das Essen (ich hatte Gado Gado mit Tofu, Tempe und Spiegelei) war sehr lecker und preiswert (kein Gericht über 10.-€). Auch die Getränkepreise sind mehr als moderat. Das Ambiente ist das eines Imbiss-Restaurants, aber absolut o.k. Der Service war flott! Wer in der Nähe vom Potsdamer Platz (versteckt direkt hinter dem Scandic-Hotel) was leckeres sucht, kein "Vermögen" dafür ausgeben will und auf stylisches Ambiente verzichten kann, der ist hier absolut richtig unterwegs. Aufgrund der wenigen Sitzplätze empfiehlt sich eine Platzreservierung!

Calidad y buenos precios , comida riquísima y buen trato cercano . Recomendable 100 x100

Rude and very unwelcoming staff, impossible to catch the opening hours and find yourself seated. I wish I could say something about the food but after like 3-4 attempts I still haven’t managed to eat here. It’s always something: either the kitchen is closed, or the staff pushes you away because they are closing soon, or today for example I asked if there are free seats and the staff rudely told me “find out yourself”, turned around and walked away. Incredible

Super rapport qualité prix... Patron et serveur avenant... Passage incontournable... Un peu plus de 40€ pour 4 personnes

Virkelig lækker mad. Lad jer ikke snyde af stedets beliggenhed og beskedne størrelse. Kan varmt anbefales 👌🏻
