Masala Imbiss in Berlin

I've tried a lot of Indian cuisines, but here it tastes really, really tasty. I'm a new regular customer. You can tell that quality is important here.

We were there for the first time today and are very excited - super tasty, great seasoning, fresh bread and really nice people! I'm already looking forward to the next time!

Chicken Thali is amazing 🤩, Authentic food

We were still excited even after eating it because it was just so delicious.

Used to be one of my favourite restaurants am Weisensee. What happened to you guys?! Took the Chiken Korma takeout today and the chicken was absolutely impossible to chew! No exaggeration, the meat was simply un-eatable, not to mention the tenderness and softness that is a must for this dish and you used to cook it deliciously. The sauce is just as rough and flavorless, no sweetness of coconut milk and cashews, no tenderness. And where did the chickpea come from in it? I would never give you a negative rating, but it really was a failure. I'm truly sorry, hope you'll improve the quality of the dishes.

Very sweet staff and awesomely delicious food. Must try. Veg and non-veg options are easily available.

The food is so incredibly delicious, I can't even handle it. The restaurant has been in my neighborhood for 3 years and I only discovered it now. LOL. Plus: really nice rooms, clean and bright and super friendly staff. Please go there, people. :))

It doesn't get any better! Tasty and freshly prepared, very good price-performance ratio.

It's really good that you're in Weissensee! Friendly, fresh, creative, spicy. We recommend!

Great food and the portions are huge. The taste is very good and balanced. I had chicken teriyaki and my husband had the chicken wrap.

Inconspicuous imbiss with wide choice of delicious Indian dishes and quick snacks. Friendly staff serving generous portions at affordable prices. Worth a visit!

The location on Berliner Allee, the delicious food and the charming team make Masala a Weissensee pearl.

Indian food in Germany is often a disappointment, here you experience the opposite. Everything is prepared super fresh and you feel like the food comes straight from India. It's also the only place I've been able to find in Berlin that has dosa on the menu. An experience that you really should have. We'll definitely be back! Update 3 years later: This time as a take away, again dosa, a poem and the lentil soup was also excellent. Definitely worth a visit. Even if you are at the lake and need a proper meal, it is only a stone's throw away and you can also pay with a card here from 10EUR. We'll definitely come back.

Clean area, polite staff. The food lacked taste. Rest was fine.

We both had the Chicken Tikka, I had the Garlic Naan and my husband had the Cheese Naan Pizza. We have never eaten such good Indian food before. It was so fresh and so delicious that we ate everything down to the last crumb. Definitely coming back! 👍👍 You sit right next to the street with the tram, but that didn't bother us that much.

Delicious food, fresh, prepared on site, on a regular basis. Nice cooks and all the staff were very nice. I recommend!

Soup naan is the best here. Tikka masala is a big disappointment. The dish has an identity crisis here.

Always very tasty and all the employees are very friendly! An enrichment for Weißensee!

Lovely staff, great location and decently priced variety of dishes! Got Mexican food there twice and having a North American background, can confirm the Mexican food here is slightly better than most I've been to in Germany!

Been here many times and tried different dishes. Always delicious - always friendly. Recommended!

Enjoy delicious Indian food and sit outside on Berliner Allee. Another highlight here in the neighborhood next to the Oz Orfu and the Sahara. The masala dosa are absolutely delicious and definitely recommended. A kind of pancake in which delicious seasoned potatoes are wrapped, there is salad and various thalis.

Maybe I chose the "wrong" dish. Unfortunately, Chicken Tikka tasted as little Indian as India has in common with penguins. For the cook: Ingredients Ingredients for Chicken Tikka: Chicken breast: about 500g, cut into bite-sized pieces Yogurt: about 1/2 cup Ginger-garlic paste: 1 tablespoon (mixed of fresh ginger and garlic) Garam Masala: 1 teaspoon Cumin powder: 1 teaspoon Paprika powder: 1 teaspoon (mild paprika powder or chili powder for a spicier version) Turmeric powder: 1/2 teaspoon Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons Salt: to taste Vegetable oil or ghee: about 2-3 tablespoons (for marinating and frying) Ingredients for the tomato sauce: Onions: 2 medium onions, finely chopped Tomatoes: 4 medium tomatoes, pureed Tomato paste: 2 tablespoons Ginger-garlic paste: 1 tablespoon (mixed of fresh ginger and garlic) Garam Masala: 1 teaspoon Cumin powder: 1 teaspoon Paprika powder: 1 teaspoon (mild paprika powder or chili powder for a spicier version) Turmeric powder: 1/2 teaspoon Cream: about 1/2 cup Butter: 2-3 tablespoons Vegetable oil or ghee: about 2-3 tablespoons Water: for cooking the sauce Salt: to taste

Very authentic Indian kitchen. I can only and only recommend this place. Foods made by heart.

Incredibly delicious butter chicken and crispy garlic naan!

I never leave restaurant reviews, but I feel this is a must - consistently delicious Indian food (especially those hard-to-find, crispy/soft DOSAS), warm and friendly service (also rare in Berlin) and a really cosy atmosphere. I have spread the word to all of my friends, many of whom I will randomly meet when I come for a quick to-go order, just because we all love it so much. 10/10.

We had a great meal there yesterday, the service and the food were top notch. At least 5 stars.

The 2 dishes were recommended. The portion was sufficient. We can recommend this shop. Always happy to go there.

Fantastic Indian place. Decent food, great portions. Although it’s an Imbiss, there is plenty of space and staff are really friendly.

Simply best Indian food I’ve ever ate in Berlin

Authentic, great flavours and ingredients. Nice staff. A great place with wonderful indian dishes.

We had dinner there yesterday. Unfortunately, we cannot fully understand the previous reviews. The food was very lightly seasoned, spicy and tasted almost exclusively of coriander. Maybe we were just unlucky. Eaten on site

Great food, great value, and nice people 🙂

Very very good food, especially given the price and portions. (The naan especially). Will definitely return at some point!

We had an amazing time at Masala Imbiss. The food was superb, and the prices were very reasonable. The portions were generous, and the friendly customer service went way above our expectations. The place is clean, and the naan was the best we've had in Berlin. We will visit this place again for sure. Highly recommended!

Our visit to Masala Imbiss was fantastic! The food was delicious, prices were affordable and portions were great. Customer service was friendly and exceeded our expectations. The place is very clean, and the naan and chicken curry were the best we ate in Berlin. It is without a doubt the best Indian restaurant and we would love to come back. We recommend!

Outstanding experience. The best place in Berlin for delicious Sri Lankan and Indian cuisine. Exceptional customer service. We will definitely visit again.

There is always good authentic food here. Friendly hospitality. Almost every wish is fulfilled. Absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to eat Indian food!

The food was 1-1 Asian snack bar. Brown plastic sauce with a lot of glutamate and salt (couldn't eat it all), all sorts of vegetables and unfortunately very little rice that was well prepared. Bread is also great. Chai also very good. Service is nice. We only expected the food to be different, namely Indian! A pity .

It's a shame, I was really looking forward to Bhatura after my visit to the museum, but unfortunately it didn't exist. The chicken tikka was super tasty. But the owner has promised to put Bhatura back on the menu. Indian without Bhatura is simply not possible.

We love this Indian and come regularly. Very tasty food, friendly staff who also take time to talk to their regular customers. All dishes are also prepared vegetarian and some are even vegan upon request.

Seeing what was written on the walls (best Masala Dosa) I had high expectations, but was unfortunately very disappointed. The taste of the Masala Dosa was very bland and way too much adapted to German tastebuds. Very sad. The samosas on the other hand tasted great. Unfortunately they were spicy enough for my toddler to not eat them, although I had specifically asked if they were spicy and was assured they are not.

Great host, great service and awesome food. 🇮🇳 The quantity and quality of food is very nice. Since the place is not very big the customer gets good attention. The place is very personalized by a lot of people writing on the walls in different languages. Recommendations: Samosa, Naan , Chutney, Chicken, saag

Unexpectedly awesome and delicious.

I ordered chicken biryani from this place through wolt and was really looking forward to trying it out. But I was shocked when the food arrived. It was a veg biryani – with chicken pieces put in afterwards! Anybody who knows what is chicken biryani will understand my shock! The rice had no flavour of a chicken biryani, the added vegetables had no flavour of a chicken biryani – it was a total disappointment. I don't like being fooled like this.

The first time it was a recommendation that made me visit... it was good indeed! But the friendliness of the staff and the great service brought the experience to a next level! When they recommended trying masala dosa, it was love at first bite! Now I hardly can skip ordering it... the combo with samosa it's my favourite. And the vegetarian thali!!! Nice music selection too! Up for Masala Imbiss!!!

Vegans!! This is not the place for you. The portions are big, and it tasted alright, staff is nice, however none of the vegan meals we ordered were even remotely vegan. They both had considerable amount of dairy in them. Very sad that we didn't get what we thought we paid for. They should remove the vegan label from their menu. For vegetarians, it would be perfect though.

Food is much nice than Imbiss quality.

La quantité de nourriture par rapport au prix est incroyable Ils vous donne un plat super bien garnie, je suggère de commander en deux fois L'ambiance est parfaite et le service aussi Je recommande extrêmement fort, surtout avec la diversité et le choix de la carte

Great food, great value, friendly service...and banging beats on a Friday and Saturday, surprisingly.

The best food ever tasted in Berlin and just like the home ambiance… good service. Highly recommended ❤️😍

Reaaaally good food! Staff is super kind too 👍

Masala Imbiss ist ein tolles Restaurant, der Service ist einfach super, man fühlt sich sehr wohl. Vor allem wegen den super freundlichen Mitarbeitern und Chef. Das Essen schmeckt auch immer sehr gut und ist frisch. Ich würde sagen die Gerichte schmecken einzigartig, auch wenn sie namentlich bekannt sind und es gibt immer einen leckeren Salat dazu. Das Naan würde ich als bestes was ich bisher gegessen habe beschreiben, wirklich sehr empfehlenswert. Der Inhaber erinnert sich auch immer an seine Kunden was wirklich sehr positiv auffällt.

Staff is so friendly and passionate about their food.

Netter Laden. Das Essen ist gut. Etwas Salz hat leider gefehlt. Aber das ist ja Geschmackssache.

Super lecker! Kann ich nur empfehlen!

Der Service ist super nett und sehr schnell. Leider rechtfertigt das Essen in keinster Weise den Preis. Der Reis ist der günstige vom Discounter. Ohne die typischen indischen Gewürze und das “Hühnerfleisch” bei meinem Chicken Tikka ist Putenfleisch, kein Huhn. Trocken und zäh. Sehr ölige Soße ist mit Zitrone o.ä. gesäuert und beinhaltet Ingwer. Ich weiß nicht was man mir hier als Chicken Tikka verkaufen will aber dafür 13€ + 1 Fritz Cola für 3€ zu Löhnen ist ein absolutes NoGo. Das war mein 1. und definitiv letzter Besuch.

It was nice to have something except traditional chicken korma

Sehr lecker und freundliches Personal. Der Chef ist sich nicht zu schade die Tische selbst umzustellen.

Tasty food, great service. Definitely a place to go back to and eat again. . Juicy chicken and dishes was surprised!! And they also children friendly

Unfassbar gut. Sauberes Klo. Nettes Personal und super Essen.

Heute habe ich zum ersten Mal diesen kleinen Imbiss besucht. Gepflegt, gemütlich und unheimlich nettes Personal. Ich entschied mich für den großen gemischten Salat mit gebratenem Lachs - ein "Gedicht" kann ich nur sagen. So tolle Gewürze, alles ganz frisch und liebevoll angerichtet (und die riesige Portion nur 12.50€) ich musste schweren Herzens etwas übrig lassen, weil mein Teller außerordentlich üppig ausfiel. Auf jeden Fall war das nicht mein letzter Besuch im MASALA-Imbiss und ich empfehle den hübschen kleinen Laden zu 100% weiter Von mir 5 Sterne ***** Weiter so !!! Herzlichst Annette

Heute das zweite Mal dort gegessen. die Portionen sind mehr als reichlich! Geschmacklich ein freudiges Erlebnis.Personal ist freundlich,nicht gestresst, . Ich werde wohl jetzt öfters dorthin gehen,es gibt dort noch so einiges,worüber sich mein Gaumen freuen wird!... Toll!einfach toll 👍

Kurz vor Schluss (21.52) noch bestes vegetarisches Thali bekommen!😋👍

The food was great. Very friendly personal. Clean toilet, and it was clean in the shop too. The food was fantastic. We hat the paneer , and veggie curry dish. Which came with so many variants. Do recommend it. The spinach dish was my favourite. Naan was delicious. The salad had a nice dressing, I liked it a lot. The dal soup could have been a bit thicker, i liked that it was made fresh and not a finished paket or so. The amount you get for your money is good. Chai tea could have been a bit sweeter, there was honey on the table to sweeten it myself. Most of it was not spicy at all. One thing was a bit spicier. All was tasty. There is a kids seat available. In the back is another smaller room for 8 people to eat. I do recommend going here.

Preisleistung ist unverschämt gut, genau so wie die Laune der dort arbeitenden Leute :) Einer der besten Lokalitäten weißensees

Ich hab alle veganen Gerichte probiert und sie waren alle frisch und super lecker!! Mein Freund würde mich für das cheese-Naan verlassen! 😂

Das Essen ist sehr lecker und zu empfehlen. Der Salat war extrem frisch und eine gute Portion. Das Chicken Tikka, war sehr gut. Auf Sonderwünsche wurde eingegangen! Einziger Wermutstropfen ist, dass die Preise über eine Google Abholbestellung nicht mit den tatsächlichen Preisen übereinstimmen. Hier kommt nochmal ein deutlicher Aufschlag von ca. 2€ pro Gericht hinzu.

Best food! Loved it! And great staff too

Amazingly kind, great food, portions, service.

Good food overall. Always served with a small salad. Very appreciated

Sehr nette Bedienung und leckeres Essen. Ich hatte gegrillten Lachs, der war sehr gut! Komme gerne wieder!

Best hidden Indian food in town ( white lake )

Sehr netter kleiner Laden mit gutem Service und lecker essen.

Von außen würde man nicht denken, dass das Essen dort so lecker ist. Es gibt nur wenige Sitzplätze drin. Der küchenchef ist super nett. Die Gerichte werden frisch in einer offen einsehbaren Küche zubereitet. Der mango lassi ist überragend lecker Zahlung mit EC-Karte möglich.

Absolut zu empfehlen. Das Essen ist ungewöhnlich und fantastisch.

Super freundliches Personal. Essen ist hervorragend. Angenehmes Ambiente. Nur weiter zu empfehlen.

Il ristorante di cucina indiana piu buono che abbia mai provato. I profumi ti avvolgono fin da quando entri, il pane è buonissimo. Buono buono !!

Das erste was aufgefallen ist - ist die super nette Bedienung. Die Mitarbeiter sie sind sehr freundlich und grüßen mit einem schönen Lächeln. Das Essen an sich ist auch sehr lecker, die Portionen sind auch gut wie normalerweise in indischen Restaurants.

Delicious as always ♥️ Have been a few times - super tasty dosas :) Good vegan options including also a mango lassi. Nice people running the place too. Shame it's not closer to centre!

Wir hatten Naan Brot, Chicken Tikka und Butter Chicken.... es war sensationell lecker...

Nice food with very affordable price. I would say I wasn’t expecting this good food but it was way above expectations.

Amazing Indian food, quickly prepared for take away.

Qualität des Essens ist mega. Service super freundlich. Preise sind absolut fair. Bestes Essen in Weißensee!

Das beste Lamm-Curry dass ich in Berlin bekommen habe!

Nettes Lokal, sehr persönlich alles und es schmeckt auch noch gut.

I don't know if that was deliberately or not, but a waiter gave me a change 10 euro less. In spite the fact that he had tips from me as well. Anyway I realized that a couple of minutes after leaving the restaurant. I send them an email, but they haven't answered. Given that they don't provide a bill and all payment are in cash.

Sehr sehr lecker, immer freundlich. Wir essen dort regelmäßig, das Gewürz ist top!

Lamb briyani is great and delicious. Good customer services.

Super leckeres Essen an unerwartetem Ort!! Ich liebe das Dosa, das man selten findet in Berlin, davon wär mehr auch noch toller. Und schade, dass es die Jewish naan pizza nicht mehr gibt. Ich muss noch viel auf der Karte ausprobieren, das werde ich nächste Woche weiterverfolgen. :)

Best restaurant best food and madar paneer is very delicious

Das Essen ist hervorragend. Von außen sieht es unscheinbar bunt aus. Aber wenn man platz genommen hat dann wirkt es erst. Auch das einige Gäste sich an der Wand verewigt haben mit Lob für das leckere Essen macht es sehr sympathisch. Was ganz toll ist: man kann beim zubereiten vom Platz aus zugucken 🤭😊

Schöner kleiner Laden mit innovativer Speisekarte, niedrigen Preisen und schnellem, freundlichem Service. Das Essen war super lecker, vielen Dank für den schönen Abend.

Šim lokālam es dotu pat 10 zvaigsnes 😍 apkalpošana,tīrība, ēdiens, viss tiešām perfekti!!!!! Ļoti iesaku apciemot šo ēstuvi un izbaudīt garšīgi🥰😍 pagatavoto ēdienu !!!!😋

Today I tried first Dhoosa with Kartoffeln Masala in my life and it's taste very delicious 😋...

fantastic quality and great taste! everything freshly made and very friendly staff!

They make nice food for sure, but I wish there menu was not so western tamed and the naan more fluffy.

I ordered mater paneer which didnt have any salt or masala.The naan was really good but the quantity was too small for a naan and rice which makes it also expensive. I paid 13 euros which is too much for a special lunch menu

The food is Ok, though given the quality it's expensive. You can easily find an indian restaurant equally priced with much higher quality.

It's sri lankan-indian restaurant. We could get Vegetarian dishes Masala dosa, Garlic butter Naan etc. Masala dosa was good but the potato sabzi fillings were not boiled and mashed properly hence were not soft. sambar was spicy hot. -Garlic butter Naan was very good and reasonably priced -Mango lassi was above average. -restaurant location was on the main road. -although it's a self service types restaurant but staff interface was good. -iskon temple is not far from this place by bus/tram.

Pathetic food, They just serve paneer in tomato sauce and even for daal they messed up Dal makhni which is impossible to do.
