Österelli in Berlin

Completely unassuming from the outside. Really excellent food with a great selection in a very small dining room, which gets extremely noisy when it's full (it even was on a Sunday at 4 pm!). Very attentive and pleasant service – the kitchen has to improvise quite a bit due to the limited space. I would simply recommend a fresh coat of paint, and: the restroom is in need of renovation, in my opinion.

Wonderful food! The best restaurant outside of Austria! The place to be in Berlin.

I made a reservation, and then they very rudely told me on the phone that I would have to sit outside. Very poor service.

A nice little but excellent restaurant with a concise menu. The food is of a high standard and incredibly delicious. I can say that about the Wiener Schnitzel, and especially about the Kaiserschmarren, which was absolutely fantastic! The service was very friendly and attentive.

I'm from Vienna. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio wasn't right. The service was very friendly, but not competent or professional: inappropriate/unsuitable for a restaurant of this category. Just okay, unfortunately. Thanks anyway.

I ate there for the first time today and I have to honestly say, it is by far the best Wiener Schnitzel I've had in Berlin, and the homemade truffle dumplings are simply delicious. The breading on the schnitzel was light and airy and stood out from the schnitzel, as it should. The veal was of very good quality, and the accompanying potato and cucumber salad was also good. We also ordered a small portion of the truffle dumplings because we really wanted to try them, and they were simply delicious. Light and fluffy and not at all heavy. They also topped it with fresh truffles, which rounded it off perfectly. I definitely recommend it, and we'll be happy to come back to try more of the menu.

There were two of us there and we really enjoyed it.

Incredibly delicious and very polite and friendly, with reasonable prices. The ambiance is (too) elegant and probably inspired by the Komische Oper across the street, but it seemed a bit inappropriately ambitious for the location (apart from the opera). Entering from outside, you enter a different world. A slightly different atmosphere, one that's more relaxed, would be more harmonious. I could imagine that this might deter some potential customers from even entering the place, which would be a shame, because the food was truly excellent.

The food is truly excellent; I highly recommend the Kaiserschmarrn. I even took some home with me. The prices are a bit high, but completely reasonable for what you get, as much of it is homemade (and you can taste it, too). The restaurant is quite small, so it was a bit noisy. Otherwise, everything was excellent. Any requests or suggestions were immediately addressed.

Super delicious. Prices are a bit high, but completely justified. You can taste that it's homemade. There's nothing pre-made about it. The absolute highlight is the Kaiserschmarrn, by far the best I've ever tasted.

A definite schnitzel and a recommendation! The dumplings were also first-class, and the potato and cucumber salad was delicious. The Kaiserschmarrn, which our table shared, was a perfect finish. The ambiance, right next to Ernst Reuter Platz, is a bit noisy and gray, but the interior is lovely.

The food was very tasty. The dishes could have been a bit larger for the price, especially with the side dish (potato salad). It was really small. The ambiance seemed a bit too impersonal, not at all like the Austrian atmosphere you'd expect from a restaurant or something similar.

Excellent food! A small, very fine restaurant with great prices.

For starters, I had the dumpling duo: beetroot dumplings and spinach dumplings. Both were perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. For the main course, I opted for the veal schnitzel: super juicy and cooked to perfection. The accompanying potato and cucumber salad was wonderfully seasoned, and I especially liked the pumpkin seeds and buckwheat. The nougat dumplings for dessert were divine. I deduct one point for the ambiance; the interior is great, but unfortunately a bit cramped, and it gets warm quickly in the restaurant. Nevertheless, I'd be happy to come back.

Great evening! We sat outside and it was an incredibly delicious meal. The wine was also simply fantastic, and you get the chance to taste it first. Our main course took longer than expected, but the wonderful, friendly, and attentive service made up for it. The spinach dumplings and the Kaiserschmarrn were simply fantastic! Many thanks to the team for this wonderful evening!

Food is delicious, prices are now beyond belief.

The schnitzel was super delicious. Highly recommended. 😊😍

Very tasty food with good attentive service

Authentic Austrian cuisine can definitely be found at Österelli. The ingredients and quality are excellent. You immediately feel like you're at home in Austria. The service is excellent and very attentive. Recommendation: Truffle dumplings or Viennese fried chicken. For dessert, a superbly caramelized Kaiserschmarrn with plum compote and apple compote. The small portion is perfectly sufficient, and the value for money is extremely good.

We popped in spontaneously and got a table. The staff was very friendly and the food was typically Austrian and delicious! 🤤

This restaurant is first- class. The food is delicious. I had the bread to start - which was a treat with flavoured butter. Then the schnitzel, and home-made apricot sorbet with prosecco to finish. The waiter was attentive and helpful, with my order and also with my German, which is a bit rusty! Overall this is a must-visit when in Berlin. I will definitely return for more!

When I looked at the menu, I thought, "Why should a schnitzel be so expensive for this tiny shop?" and... I've never had such delicious schnitzel and potato salad. The taste of those sauces🫣 Oh my God, there's never been a marinade this good. Service is normally slow, and your food arrives half an hour after you order, but it was legendary.

A small, hidden restaurant that's hard to find without the terrace, but absolutely delicious! The fried chicken and boiled beef salad are top-notch, and the wine advice and service are excellent. We'll be back.

Experience as an applicant. I had an appointment at 4 p.m., but had to wait outside for over 30 minutes because no one showed up. Emails were ignored, my trial day was unsupervised, and the promised response never arrived. Very disrespectful treatment of applicants. Not recommended.

Had a really lovely experience here! Service is very quick and everything was delicious! The Wiener Schnitzel was a really generous size and the potato + cucumber salad as well as the green salad were so incredibly good! Would highly recommend — one of the dining highlights from my trip to Berlin!

An positive surprise. ;) A small but extremely fine restaurant. First-class compositions and ingredients, and Austrian cuisine cooked creatively and lovingly. Absolutely recommended!

I went out to eat with friends yesterday. I had such good service and especially ate schnitzel and Cordon bleu. It was excellent food. We'll be back for more.

We used to enjoy ordering here regularly. Then the prices went up, but okay, costs have also gone up. After that, the portions got smaller, which is annoying given the prices. But now the quality has also declined, so you can get a mini veal cordon bleu for a maximum of €35, which resembles a shoe sole. That's not just bad, it's outrageous!

Schnitzel was below average - but prices were comparable to those at Borchardt. Nicely presented, but the taste wasn't particularly good. And visually, it's a very good example of a snack bar... dirty benches and chairs.

Everything was great all around. Very tasty food and very attentive, friendly service. The Wiener Schnitzel is highly recommended.

Tried this schnitzel restaurant and while the taste was goof, the portion was extremely small, easily the smallest schnitzel I’ve ever had. The pictures are quite misleading, showing a much larger portion than what you actually get. On top of that, they charge extra for cranberry sauce, which is unusual. Not worth the price overall.

Unfortunately, my meal (Cordon Bleu) was overcooked, resulting in a hard coating that was no longer fluffy. The meat was tasty, but dry. It seemed more like the Cordon Bleu had been fried in a deep fryer rather than a pan. The side dish, potato and cucumber salad, was very tasty, though! There are only a few seats at fairly small tables, so reservations are absolutely necessary. Due to the small space in the restaurant, the ambiance isn't very appealing.

Highly recommended! It costs a little more, but it offers a lot of flavor and cuisine that I associate with a vacation in Tyrol. It was delicious! If the portions were a little bit larger, it would have earned another star. Alternatively, you can of course consider getting appetizers.

A small but wonderful restaurant with excellent cuisine. I had asparagus soup with truffles for starters, followed by handmade mountain cheese spaetzle with truffles – simply delicious! To finish, we had Kaiserschmarrn for dessert. My daughter ordered the beef soup with cheese dumplings and was equally impressed. I'd also like to particularly highlight the elderflower lemonade – my absolute favorite! I can recommend it to anyone who – like me – is always looking for delicious homemade lemonade. Everything was delicious, and the service was very friendly. We'd definitely love to come back.

Good food! Sensational Kaiserschmarn!!!

On Wednesday we visited Österelli for the third time. We were VERY SATISFIED, as always. But first, we want to rate the most important part: Brian – our server during our visits to Österelli. Courteous, super sweet, friendly, and helpful. He makes an extraordinary effort and always tries to find a free table for us. We feel very comfortable in Brian's "care" 😂 and wish other servers would follow his example. We hope the other servers in your store are just as nice. One thing I have to say: In all our visits, we only got to meet Brian :-p Thanks, Brian :-) Back to the food and restaurant: We can only recommend it to everyone. The food is truly delicious, beautifully presented, and soothing. We will definitely come back a fourth, fifth, or sixth time.

I've rarely experienced such attentive service. Thank you for the great meal in this lively restaurant! A definite recommendation.

Despite a reservation, there was no table available. Very soberly fobbed off.

This small restaurant is very tastefully and modernly decorated. The food is delicious and authentic, always worth a visit.

Ideal location in front of the Komische Oper

So the service was really not good and totally overwhelmed.

Austrian heaven in Charlottenburg Starting with the super nice, warm team, through the beautiful interior, to the lovingly packaged, sooooo delicious food - everything is just right here. We fell in love the first time and have now feasted our way through the menu. Schnitzel, fried chicken, Käsekrainer, vegetarian cheese or spinach dumplings. Everything was super delicious. And if you then try yeast dumplings and the like, you are finally on cloud 9. Thank you for so much enjoyment and continued success!! We are looking forward to hopefully visiting you in the restaurant soon. And until then, you can definitely sweeten the lockdown for us often! Hello and Baba

Price -> Same as in Vienna Location, service, atmosphere -> snack bar Dirty seating and hair from guests on the bench. Toilet and “kitchen” noticeably dirty. We were at Österelli last Easter Sunday and unfortunately disappointed. While you pay high prices like in Vienna for a small schnitzel, you feel like you're in a snack bar: delivery drivers are constantly standing in the middle of the dining room picking up orders - there's no trace of a cozy atmosphere. The chef, who apparently has roots in Central Africa, has a solid command of Austrian cuisine, but overall everything seems careless. Our waiter seemed to be exclusively occupied with delivery services and had little time for the guests in the restaurant. Both our wishes and those of the neighboring tables were overlooked or confused several times. Selling wine was also unpleasant: instead of being given relaxed advice, you had the feeling that it was being sold forcefully - including a strange presentation at the table.

A very good restaurant if you want to immerse yourself in Austrian cuisine in a relaxed but still delicious way. Delicious dumplings, the best schnitzels, very good salads and excellent pastries. The whole thing is rounded off with a very harmonious wine selection. The service is also very good. But you shouldn't expect too much Alpine cosiness; the ambience is rather stylish and the dining room is quite small, which means the noise level at the always full tables is quite high. Prices are reasonable. Overall a full 5 star recommendation!

The food was excellent, but overpriced for the location, especially the drinks. atmosphere of one Fast food restaurants with delivery service. Dilapidated walking chairs and equipment of a snack bar. It's a shame, the food deserved a more stylish environment.

Food was delicious. Unfortunately, vegan options were not possible (even though they were on the menu).

The food was extremely tasty and the staff was very friendly and relaxed. One small point of improvement: A little more attention when asking for drinks would have been desirable. The atmosphere was tasteful and inviting - we felt completely at home.

In addition to being seated in such a place that a waiter bumped into me every minute, after 20 minutes after we sat down, they didn't even inquire about what we wanted to drink.

A culinary experience in a class of its own – absolutely recommended! I don't even know where to start - I loved this restaurant in every way! From the first moment you feel completely welcome here. The service is not only attentive and professional, but also warm and authentic. You can immediately tell that people work here with real passion - and that makes the difference! The food? Simply brilliant! Every single course was perfectly seasoned, lovingly prepared and an absolute highlight in terms of taste. The kitchen knows how to creatively combine high-quality ingredients while still remaining down-to-earth. Be it a starter, main course or dessert – everything is just right here. The drinks menu also leaves nothing to be desired and rounds off the culinary experience perfectly. I would particularly like to highlight the relaxed, stylish atmosphere, which makes it easy to let go and enjoy the moment. Whether for a romantic dinner, a special occasion or simply to treat yourself - this restaurant is the perfect choice. Conclusion: If you are looking for outstanding food, excellent service and an all-round successful evening, you will find it here. A real gem – I will definitely be back and can only warmly recommend it to everyone!

Even better than in Austria!!! We have never eaten so well in Austria. Yesterday we had delicious baked goods, juicy and crispy, the dumpling trio was light and airy on beautifully melted butter with truffles, crunch and parmesan on top and the Viennese can get a slice of the Wiener Schnitzel. At the tables next to us we had already reached dessert... Kaiserschmarrn... of course we had to try it too! Beautifully caramelized and with apple and plum compote, so delicious! Greetings again to the chef! The service was very charming and polite and enjoyed working! The only drawback... too many tables in a small space, which made it very loud and the air became increasingly thin. But we didn't want to stay in the restaurant for long because we went to a performance at the Schiller Theater right across the street. So gladly again!

The food is great, an uptake on traditional dishes, a little too salty for me but that is to taste

Super tasty and nice atmosphere

Food is really ok! But not great! In such a small shop you naturally expect the two waiters to get along well. I called the waiter and he showed me that he would come to me soon. After 5 minutes he finally wanted to come to me and then a lady came into the store and he just went out and chatted with her for 3 minutes. Sorry but that doesn't work at all...

Unfortunately, it was a disappointment: a very small restaurant that paid no attention to soundproofing (you could hardly hold a conversation, you couldn't hear your own voice). The chairs were also very uncomfortable. Two stars are only given for the trio of dumplings. The salad plate for 14 euros was neither good nor sufficient. (The buckwheat in it consisted of a few buckwheat grains.) The very small apricot dumplings, when thawed, tasted like frozen food. The celery schnitzel, unfortunately, is nothing special, nor is it Austrian. The selection of dishes is very limited. Overall, we left the restaurant having spent over 30 euros (that didn't even include alcoholic drinks) and were neither full nor satisfied.

Very local restaurant with great refined food. Not a single tourist here. Out far from center

Food was very good, chairs and bench weren't really comfortable

Small but nice shop. Super delicious food, very friendly and courteous service! 🥰Extra requests due to allergies were no problem. Absolutely recommended, will definitely come back.😊

Good service and delicious food, what more could you want! We had a lovely and entertaining evening at Österelli. The guest room is small, but cozy and tastefully furnished. With a reservation you are on the safe side. Overall, highly recommended, we will be back.

Small and quaint shop Nice service staff Very tasty food

Schnitzel and Kaiserschmarren are great as always!

The truffle dumplings were amazing! Nice service, we felt very comfortable! Thanks!!!

Delicious food and friendly service.

You can hardly get a better Krenschnitzel, even in Austria. Attentive, friendly service. Few places: reservation is recommended. It's a shame: €7 for 0.1l of wine is too expensive.

Spinach dumplings and schnitzel were very tasty. Thank you for the friendly and fast service!

A small but cozy restaurant. The schnitzel dish was very tasty, as was the beer. The staff was friendly and quick. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back. 👍🏼👍🏼

Very tasty, unfortunately the shop is a bit small and the seating is cramped. The service is very attentive.

Very small restaurant opposite the Schillertheater. The food is really good, but also a bit expensive. The facilities, on the other hand, are pretty basic, the service is ok. Still a recommendation due to the tasty dishes.

Schnitzel - great! Dumplings - even better! Kaiserschmarren - super tasty & almost too much. We had a good time at Österelli with very tasty food, really good and dedicated service and all in a cozy, sociable atmosphere. There are also vegetarian alternatives.

The schnitzel is great. The glass of wine for €9 is completely overpriced.

Great service, a great selection and moderate prices. We'll be back!

Food mediocre, as was the service. Other customers had to wait almost an hour for a table even though they had reserved.

Small cozy restaurant with one of the best schnitzel in Berlin. Service was very gentle, they speak English very well.

Extremely friendly staff, very good food prepared with fresh and great products. Ambience a bit spartan. Small restaurant, so be sure to make a reservation as it is busy with 3 theaters nearby. Highly recommended!

Here you can find very fine and sophisticated versions of Austrian classics such as Wiener Schnitzel, dumplings, cheese spaetzle, yeast dumplings, Kaiserschmarrn, etc. There are vegan versions of some dishes. The food is fantastic.

Convenience frozen schnitzel heated in deep fryer. That's not really Austrian food culture. Loud and sparsely decorated guest room. Nice service remains the only positive memory.

Good food but absolutely incompetent staff and organization. It's a shame.☹️

Went there spontaneously for dinner as a couple. It is very small, with larger groups it is almost impossible to eat there. The team is very friendly and accommodating! The food was very good! Prices but performance are only average. The ambience could be improved a bit. The sanitary facilities may need to be checked more often.

The vegan menu was incredibly good. We would love to come back! You just have to bring some time :-)

Nice little restaurant and the food was very good 👍

I had the truffle cordon bleau. That tasted excellent. The 3 dumplings were also tasty, but a very small portion.

Super tasty garnished with great attention to detail. Mega top highly recommended come again Greetings from Dresden

Top cuisine, top service, the food is unbeatably delicious, the wine is excellent, we always enjoy coming back

Small and very good Austrian restaurant. It's very easy to overlook it, it's small and it's not a restaurant, it's a coffee bistro. The food is great, very tasty Wienerschnitzel and the apricot dumplings are highly recommended. No keg beer but interesting bottles of beers. Price performance okay.

Goose leg, very tasty. Bread dumplings, also very tasty, even if there are no comparison criteria. Red cabbage, already seasoned for Christmas, delicious in consistency, clearly too much sugar. Apricot dumplings and coffee with milk are a wonderful ending.

The food itself was good, but the price-performance ratio still needs improvement

On a Sunday we ate at Österelli and made reservations there in advance. I would also recommend it as the store is quite small. The furnishings are modern and stylish. Unfortunately the acoustics in the restaurant are not that great, I found it very loud. Acoustic panels would help. About the food: I've been to Austria a few times and have never eaten such good Kaiserschmarrn in Germany. The schnitzel, cordon bleu, potato salad, cheese spaetzle and carrot salad were also very, very tasty. I will definitely stop by again and try more.

The food at Österelli was really excellent, and I also really liked the service and the cozy atmosphere. A big compliment to the kitchen and the nice team! Unfortunately, the restaurant is quite small and you only have 1.5 hours per reservation before you are asked to vacate the table because the next guests are already waiting. This wasn't clearly communicated on the website - I only discovered it when I looked directly in the restaurant reservation system. Unfortunately, I wasn't informed about this at all when I made my Google reservation, and that led to disappointment on site. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to order dessert and had to drink my coffee quicker than I wanted. The time pressure definitely dampened the mood and spoiled the experience. It's a shame, because without this restriction I would certainly have given it 5 stars.

What can I say? I was denied tap water. We placed our order and ended up asking for tap water. This was then refused to us by the waiter. “We’re not allowed to serve anything”… I think it’s a real shame and therefore only one point.

The food was very tasty and authentic. Nice, intimate atmosphere and top service.

In my opinion, the perfect Wiener Schnitzel is available here. Overall, the entire meal was incredibly good. As a starter we had a mixed salad and spinach dumplings. For dessert there was an excellent apricot dumpling and a delicious apricot schnapps. The service was also great and everything is very nicely designed overall. The restaurant is highly recommended. We had a great evening. Thanks

We absolutely loved the food – everything was delicious! We were also impressed by the stylish and inviting atmosphere. The prices are appropriate for the quality of the food, but the service left a lot to be desired: a lack of cutlery, a forgotten side dish, and an unfocused waiter who kept chattering away. The guests next to us even left because they had to wait so long. Nevertheless, I can highly recommend the restaurant and will happily come back for a second try. :)

It was a small but nice menu and four of us enjoyed it very much! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The room is very attractively designed. If we are in Berlin again, we will definitely eat there again.

Small but very good restaurant with enough distance from other guests. Service friendly and effective. Shortly after the drinks were served, the appetizers were served: spinach dumplings and potato soup. Both tasted excellent. As a main course we ate Wiener Schnitzel and Spätzle with cheese. Portions very large and super tasty. It's clear to see that everything is homemade. Highly recommended.

Very cute restaurant with excellent food. The dumplings, especially spinach and truffles, were a highlight. and the schnitzel was also very tasty. It's just a shame that all the red wines were dry. Staff friendly and charming. Definitely recommended

Lovely, cosy location for elevated Austrian cuisine. I recommend the Spinat Knödel - I would return there just for that! Otherwise it was overall a lovely meal, excellent Schnitzel 👌 The crowd was maybe a little more “elegant”, than other eateries in Berlin.

Great classical Austrian food. I love West Berlin – besides, I even consciously chose to live here. However, one issue with its dining establishments is that they are unironically old-fashioned. Enormous wooden tables, puffy seats, checkered tablecloth. You feel obligated to bring your family there – a family of at least eight beautiful kids, that is. Now, this place is nothing like that. It is compact, concise, content, you can ever say trendy – at least in my Eastern European perception plagued with minimalist design. It is located opposite to Komische’s Opera temporary home, which is another plus. The food is great, too. I am a huge fan of Breznknödel, and they happen to have them with truffles – makes you think that Austrian/German food is actually not just potato and sausages after all. The schnitzel? The schnitzel is great, almost as good as it gets, and is served with a selection of pickled vegetables. Mind this, I am not a huge pickled potato affiliate – but would never not finish my serving here. Two small issues that have been haunting me for a while: 1. Whenever I come on Sunday, they have ran out of buratta. It always happens, I have in fact given up any hope on ever trying it. 2. The outside seating is plagued by WASPs (not the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant kind either, the yellow-and-black stripped ones). Bloody annoying.

Very small restaurant with 12 tables for two. Modern and cool furnishings. Reminds me more of a bar. But the cuisine and food are very good.

Very nice staff and delicious food at fair prices. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to serve alcohol during our visit, but there was Almdudler! Would recommend Österelli to anyone looking for a small, fine shop with food from the Alps.

Ordered through Wolt, the tastiest restaurant food we've had in a long time!! Will definitely order again (delivery time was also very, very fast) :)

Super tasty schnitzel. By far the BEST thing I've eaten so far. Always my pleasure. Absolutely recommended. The service was also great!
