Potemkin russische ukrainische Gerichte in Berlin

The WORST place I have ever been to. First of all, there’s no slavic authenticity. As far as I read from another review here, it’s run by the owner of the Indian restaurant nearby. So the staff, the music playing and everything are absolutely not what you expect from this restaurant’s name. And yeah, they don’t speak Russian or Ukrainian. The menu is so random. It has 2-3 dishes from Russian/Ukrainian cuisine and that’s it. And also the staff are rude and behave outrageous.

I was here four times. My order was forgotten once and I had to wait 1.15 hours instead of 30 minutes. The second time we got the wrong food, the third time we paid twice, today we ordered Vareniki and got mashed potatoes. The waiter said four meals were made at the same time, the kitchen was overwhelmed and the waiter had nothing to do with the food. He doesn't check every order. What a shame! Bad staff, bad service!

Absolute bullshit! Called this evening to pick up food - dish costs €14.50 (online menu on the restaurant's website) - with a side dish included - as stated in the description of the dish. So I call and order and am asked what kind of side dish I would like, which also suggests that it is included. I pick up the food and have to pay €19.40. The waiter then laughs cheekily and says: 'Yes, all the prices online are wrong' and side dishes have to be paid extra. He really relies on ripping off customers and thinks it's funny and grins cheekily in my face. About the food: It doesn't taste typical of the country and I certainly wouldn't have been so harsh in my rating if it had been tasty at least for €20. Price/performance - 0/5 Service - -10/5 Food 2/5

I liked the restaurant. We ordered borscht, mashed potatoes with mushroom sauce and chicken. Everything was very tasty! The portions are huge and the prices are quite reasonable for the capital. We will definitely come back and recommend a visit.

Great Restaurant and great authentic foods, the service was great and the food very fresh and delicious thank You for the great experience. Invited my in-laws from the states with Ukrainian background and they were Happy and impressed. By the way You guys have the best View in Berlin. Happy to visit soon again:) Best Sam

The cuisine is mainly Russian (the decor is all Soviet - hence name Potemkin) but they are trying to position themselves as Ukrainian friendly (they have borsch soup on their menu). Overall, the food was really great and hearty. The place was very empty though - perhaps it was due to the rain on Monday evening.

Unfortunately the place has little to do with Russian or Ukrainian cuisine. Kiev cutlet is served with sweet and sour sauce... And then it is not prepared as usual. Don't get me wrong, the service staff are friendly and the food itself was good. But unfortunately the cuisine at this restaurant is not authentic. The ambience is not reminiscent of a Russian/Ukrainian restaurant, the dishes are not prepared according to the correct cuisine (someone who grew up with Russian/Ukrainian cuisine notices this immediately) and you lose the romance there. You can tell from the entire concept of this restaurant that they're just trying to imitate the cuisine, but the owner himself probably comes from a different area and unfortunately can't get that across correctly. Going for a delicious meal if the ambience isn't important to you? Happy to go here - as I said, very nice service staff. But if you are looking for authentic Russian/Ukrainian cuisine and an atmosphere to go with it, then you will be disappointed.

The waiter is extremely busy with his cell phone There is no music playing in the restaurant, the food was quite good but the service and atmosphere were 1/5

Good location, nice terrace and good food

The restaurant is in a great location on the square and close to the metro. As for “Russian cuisine” and atmosphere, this is not the case here. There are no Russian-speaking staff, the dishes are rather simply European cuisine with a slight bias towards dumplings. Not cheap, but the portions are very large. From what I tried - pasta, beef stroganoff, cutlets - everything was quite tasty. Interior, etc. The decor looks tired.

It tasted good, I'd love to come back.

Decent restaurant, slightly neglected environment, decent cuisine, good variety of beers

Nice restaurant. I would have liked a few more Russian dishes. But the food was very good. When we're in the area again, we'd love to come back.

Great Russian cuisine! I was here with my son We had a borsch and a solyanka soup. The waiter was very nice (Ali). He even bought us two pieces of cake and a schnapps. The five stars are only thanks to him.

Very tasty borsch! I didn't find the shish kebab grilled as described, there was no smoke and marinade, the sweet and sour sauce was also inappropriate and untraditional, but the tomato dip was very tasty. Pelmeni were also very tasty and homemade

Food ok, but not authentic Eastern European food… Bortsch and Pelmeni, that could be a lot better. Nice staff

Located on the beautiful Viktoria Luise Platz, very attentive staff, unusual and large menu

Was the first time in this restaurant. The food was very tasty, really nice there.

Great location, great idea I've been living next door for a year and finally decided to stop by for lunch for the first time. I specially chose the day, only 2 occupied tables, service in Berlin is a creative thing, but it always seemed like there shouldn’t be a problem with this in my native places. Based only on the fact that the restaurant positions itself as the worst one from those very villages As a result, there is no menu in Russian, I couldn’t quickly find dumplings/dumplings with meat, the employees speak broken German/Turkish, there was no dialogue - the waiter was too cold to wait to order, they left... very sad Probably just bad luck

Pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, drinks came quickly and tasted delicious.

An absolute recommendation from A to Z. Everything was sensational! Be sure to go and ask for Sharif

Cozy restaurant, next to the square with a fountain. Delicious borscht and excellent Napoleon 👌 good service.

Just beautiful. Well-kept food with the sound of the fountain from Victoria Luise Platz, super nice, attentive waiter, something on the menu for everyone - Vareniki, pasta, fish, vegetables, salad... A feel-good place.

We’ve been going there for years. You can’t beat the peaceful and beautiful location right next to the gorgeous Viktoria-Luise-Platz in Schöneberg. A wide variety of great food and very generous portions. Wines and other drinks a generously poured and the service is very friendly and attentive. Best place in Schöneberg for a delicious, casual, stress free and comfortable meal. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Food was great, the price is good compared to the portion and you sit right next to the park area, all in all a great restaurant.

Disgraceful service. When I asked if I could speak to the owner, I was told "he is the owner". A guy who behaved outrageously towards my wife. A pure chauvinist!!! You should definitely avoid this place!

At the end of the day, a restaurant review should focus on service and atmosphere, and then food quality, of course. The food is good, it’s not the best Russian food in Berlin. However, the service and chill atmosphere have convinced me to give this place a 5-star rating. Special thanks to Sharif for making my experience special and memorable. Prices are fair and the food is quite decent. Courteous and friendly service, no problems whatsoever.

I went there today for brunch/lunch with family and friends and I was thrilled. The food was all very tasty, large selection and moderate prices. Plus friendly staff...what more could you want ;)

I like the place. Food is average but the waiters are very helpful and take care of everything.

The food was delicious, large portions, the price was not expensive. The food was served quickly. The only thing is that you should check the bill.

Good food, very friendly service and the surroundings of Viktoria-Luise-Platz are simply unique!

Great patio with huge umbrellas to protect yourself from the sun. Friendly and speedy service. We stopped by a few times during our stay in Berlin to have e a drink during the evening Euro Cup soccer matches. The Napoleon tart was excellent! Sitting outside is so nice until a cigarette or pipe smoker lights up. :-(

The food was very nice but the service is quite slow. If you are looking for nice food about beautiful urban view and you have lots of time for slow dining it is a nice place to go.

Good breakfast selection. Sitting outside with a view of the park and fountain is very relaxed.

Pleasant atmosphere at Victoria Louise Square. Delicious 😋 food, cool drinks. Everything great.

The restaurant is run by either Turks or Kurds, I don’t want to offend anyone, but it wasn’t them who ordered water with gas, they brought water without gas, then they ordered Solchnka, but they can’t, and lastly there was a cake, one Napoleon and the other with strawberries (

Great spot to chill and have an afternoon cocktail. Food looked great!

Everything great! Gladly again. Thank you very much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good-humoured and attentive staff as well as good, rich food always make a visit to the "Potemkin" worthwhile. I often go there on weekends to have breakfast

Borscht was exceptional. The dumpling mix and the chicken dishes were so-so. Service needs improvements as I found myself wondering where the waiters were when I needed service.

We only had a beer here on the terrace, which is located on a quiet park. Friendly service.

Have breakfast there every now and then. Given the prices, a new look for the restaurant wouldn't be the worst thing.

Good homemade vareniki, pelmeni and Napoleon. Very nice service.

We came from Frankfurt and had brunch at this restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious. Great service

The best breakfast. Wonderful atmosphere with an enjoyable view of the fountains of Viktoria-Luise-Platz. Absolutely recommended. Everything that was served was of the highest quality and immaculate. Rare to experience. The service was not only friendly, but also very attentive and accommodating. So it deserves 5 stars 🤩

For a couple of years that was my favourite restaurant in the area. The food was always great and the service felt like home. However, the last 2 times I visited the place some things changed. First of all, there are no more russian-speaking waiters. Potemkin is run by the same business as the next door indian-restaurant, so all the waiters are from there now. I see no problem with that, they do their job. But the authenticity is completely lost. The food quality became way worse. Before, any time I went there, eveything was super fresh and delicious. The last time I felt that the deep-fried dishes were cooked in overused oil. The smell was very characteristic. Next, a Mojito we ordered was without sugar, super sour. We had to add sugar ourselves, and that a "cocktail" for 9 euros! We spent there 1 hour and there was no one ordering cocktails. I believe, with such a demand they could put more attention to making the drink. Besides that the waiters didn't put enough efforts to get a correct order. Even when I was pointing on the item in menu. Perhaps, it wa late and everyone is tired, understandable. Anyway, be careful and ask to repeat your order, I am quite disappointed with this place. It doesn't cost its price anymore. P.S.: Oh yeah, another thing! The toilets, both for man and women are dirty, small and smelly! P.P.S.: I just received a complaint from Potemkin, that this review is not true and that I was never there. It's a lie. I lived close to the restaurant and went there several times with my wife. I believe, the bank payment statements will be a proof. So, Potemkin's owner or whoever has created a complaint, don't even try to get rid of this review, but make your employees to provide at least as good service as it was years ago.

Really bad service, unfriendly, and in top arrogant. It is a pity since the place of the restaurant is nice in summer.

We visited the Potemkin on Easter Sunday evening and still had the opportunity to get a place. The large and partly covered terrace invites you to relax and unwind. But the restaurant is also beautifully decorated, so you feel comfortable there even when the weather is bad. Our food (borsch and vareniki with hearty filling) was brought quickly and we enjoyed it. The selection of food is quite large and perhaps not 100 percent authentic (for example, there were beans in the borsch). Nevertheless, we enjoyed it and would come back. In addition to driving (limited parking in the surrounding streets), you can also easily reach the restaurant by subway. The Viktoria-Luise-Platz stop is just a stone's throw away.

Terrible service! Don’t recommend or waste your time if you don’t want to be stressed. They said a side dish was included in the plate price, and at the end they charged me 3.50€ more and said I had to pay. The waiter was very disrespectful, they don’t know how to treat a client.

The most delicious food. The borscht is incredibly delicious. Mashed potatoes with cutlets and plus fried eggs. Very beautiful presentation of the dish. The dumplings are also very tasty. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.....

Terrific meal at Potemkin. We ate on the large outdoor terrace overlooking the lovely Viktoria-Luise platz. I had the vegetarian borscht and mushroom varenyky (pierogis); each comes with sour cream which could be omitted. My partner had the deep-fried mushroom dumplings and beef stroganoff with dill potatoes. We've regularly eaten Ukrainian food at the storied Veselka in New York City. Potemkin's borscht and varenyky rate very well. Highly recommend. We'll definitely return.

Dear comrades and comrades! If you want to eat the most tasteless dumplings with mushrooms, come here! This is a masterpiece without words, we already took some ice cream with us. I admit honestly, I thought if they didn’t let me lie down at the door and set up a nativity scene. But the restaurant is excellent and they took pity on them. In general, everything that we ordered was delicious, the atmosphere and service were very friendly and tasted like home. Bon appetit friends, I highly recommend it.

Hello, I really want to work as a cook at this restaurant. I have experience, I have worked in Russian cuisine, Uzbek and Japanese cuisine. I’m from Uzbekistan, my name is Babur, I’m 41, if anything, my number is +99890.757.51.76, there’s a telegram. I’m waiting for your answer 🤗

Overall very good: The chicken soup we ordered was great, very tasty, everything was fresh, very strong and intense taste. The pelmeni in the soup seemed fishy to me and had good seasoning Fries were ok, as was the mushroom cream sauce. The delivery was quick. I can't say much about the ambience since I ordered and wasn't in the restaurant. Verdict: Great chicken soup, gladly again.

A good selection of traditional dishes: borscht, solyanka, pancakes, dumplings. Tasty.

This is the best restaurant in Berlin, I’ve known it for two years, I also worked there, everything there is 💯%

Hello everyone! I came across this restaurant not long ago. delighted with the solyanka and beef stroganoff! Very cozy place, I recommend it to everyone!

Very tasty food, homely taste, prices are good, I recommend it to everyone! See you soon!

We ordered borscht and dumplings with sour cream, the portion was quite large (both of us are not big), tasty and homemade, the sour cream seemed like it was homemade, I don’t know, but very tasty!! The piece of Napoleon was big, so we divided it between two people, the waiters didn’t speak Ukrainian/Russian, not that it’s a minus, it would just be a nice bonus to the atmosphere of the place, otherwise everything is fine, thank you!

Delicious pelmeni and delicious bliny. Friendly waiter

The ambience and the music, and the names of the various breakfast offerings ("Pravda" etc.) are Russian-Ukrainian...but there is no sparkling wine, for example. The coffee is extra strong and not for those with heart disease. It's nice to sit at Victoria-Luise-Platz.

Good food, best service and family atmosphere! Can't expect more . Thanks to the waiter he made our evening great . And extra wishes were fulfilled .

Lecker, schöne Atmosphäre, freundliche Bedienung und Publikum. Gut besucht, aber ausreichend Platz.

Заказывали уху, блины с курицей и солянку. Всё был очень вкусно. Немного пересоленая уха, но к ней шел свежайший хлеб, т.ч. суммарно вышло отлично. Очень приветливый приятный официант. Еду принесли быстро. Чаевые включены в счёт. Атмосфера типичная берлинская, многого от интерьера не ждите. Для погружения, есть различные надписи на русском, но нет меню на русском (хотя может просто нам его не дали). Забавно, что кухня подписана через Y, хотя казалось бы любой google translate выдаст правильный вариант.

Posto incantevole Rapporto qualità-prezzo ottimo Servizio rapido Personale cordiale

Familiäre Atmosphäre! Wunderbar!

Sehr serviceorientiertes und freundliches Personal! Das Restaurant ist an einem sehr schönen und idyllischen Platz in Berlin Schöneberg gelegen! Besonders zu empfehlen ist der Borschtch, eine ukrainische beziehungsweise russische Spezialität und der schmeckt hier wirklich gut! 😋

"Es war einmal...." eine unserer ersten Adressen zum Frühstück am schönen Victoria-Luise Platz. Aber: es war einmal. Nach Aufgabe der Bestellung wurden die Getränke und der Brötchenkorb schnell geliefert.....das war es dann aber auch schon. Trotz zweimilgem Nachfragen haben wir eine volle Stunde auf unser Frühstück warten müssen. Die Frage, warum ein Sonderwunsch nicht erfüllt ist, wurde nur mit einer patzigen Antwort quittiert. Der Service war hoffnungslos überfordert. Kein Wunder: der Aussenbereich mit Tischen mindestens doppelt so gross wie in alten Zeiten. Wenn es an Servicekräften mangelt, sollte man nicht zu viele Gäste zulassen und den Service leiden lassen. Ich kann dieses Restaurant leider nicht mehr empfehlen.

The food was fine, although more expensive than it needed to be; the service was abysmal. I ordered the "Dostoyevsky" breakfast, did not get the signature element of the meal which promised chicken and pineapple toast with cheese, and was told this was correct and charged for the full meal. Will not go again.

GEGEND IST WUNDERSCHÖN, SERVICE OKAY UND SEHR FREUNDLICH, ESSEN NUR MITTELMASS, PREIS LEISTUNGSVERHÄLTNIS: VIEL ZU TEUER, [Frühstückskarte originell ,aber sehr wenig und viel zu teuer].Bewertung als russisches Restaurant NEIN. Nur der Name Potemkin stimmt.Daneben Indisches Restaurant gehört wohl zusammen. NOCHMAL WÜRDE ICH DORT NICHT HINGEHEN.

Wir haben 20 Minuten darauf gewartet, dass sie eine Bestellung aufgeben oder dass überhaupt jemand an uns vorbeikommt. Der Service ist eine Katastrophe, das Essen ist „so lecker, dass wir es noch nicht einmal probiert oder gesehen haben“

Nette Menschen, freundliche Bedienung, guter Service. Wir aßen Blinys und Pelmeni. Beides sehr, sehr lecker. Preise topp. Draußen waren außer uns noch Spatzen und Wespen. Die störten uns kaum, da auf dem Platz viele andere Menschen waren. Dazu gab's Rostock Tannenwald zu trinken auch sehr lecker. Genau das, was wir wollten für den kleinen Hunger.

Very nice place for breakfast. We tried syrniki and it was very delicious! The only issue is the wasps at the terrace, but we relocated inside as soon as we got food.

Great place, nice portions. Got it as a delivery 🚚

Der Service und das Essen sind großartig und der Wasserbrunnen sorgt für eine wunderschöne Atmosphäre

habe omelett bestellt...dazu gab es zwei harte kleine toastscheiben und ein mini salatbouquet...alles sehr geschmacklos und lieblos angerichtet für teure 14 €. nur die location draußen am platz ist schön.

Food was pretty disappointing. Menu stated side dishes came with main dish and then I was charged extra for potatoes with the schnitzel.

A place just in front of the fountain with great view of the park in a quiet part of Berlin. Good atmosphere, average service and well below average food, especially for Berlin standards. Would not visit again!

Habe nur einen Milchkaffee getrunken.

Schöne Ambiente, nette Bedienung, aber leider war das Essen für mich eine Enttäuschung, ziemlich überteuert und die sogenannten "russischen Gerichte" sind von Originall zu weit enfernt. Beilagen werden extra berechnet (Reis oder Kartofeln, etc.).

Great restaurant at a beautiful location.

Kuchen ist sehr gut, Essen ok, aber ziemlich teuer. An manchen Tagen ist der Service gut, aber gelegentlich auch unfreundlich und unpersönlich...Kellner wechseln ständig. Ärgerlich, dass man nicht mit Karte bezahlen konnte, weil das Gerät kaputt war!

Был там с семьей нам понравилось и было очень в вкусно.

Toller Laden. Essen lecker Bedienung toll . Und gemütlich isses auch noch obendrein. Mann kann draussen sitzen sowie auch drinnen . Straße ist für Autofahrer gesperrt deswegen kann Mann auch ruhig draußen sitzen unterm Schirm.

Frühstück wird immer kleiner und immer teurer...

Schönes Lokal leckeres Essen freundlicher Service

Super lecker und sehr freundlich. Wir waren das erste mal ukrainisch essen und werden es gerne wieder tun. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Wer mit einem 'Salat mit Lachs und Pfifferlingen' für 17,50€ (!!!) zufrieden ist, der aus ungesalzenen Pfifferlingen, wässrigem Dressing und 3/4 aus Eisbergsalat besteht, der sollte hierher gehen. Unterirdisch schlecht! Leider, ... war früher anders!!!

Ein idealer Ort für ein leckeres Frühstück. Nimmt man den Victoria-Luise-Platz als Ambiente, dann geht es bei gutem Wetter kaum besser. Das einzig Störende sind Fahrradfahrer, die gar nicht dort fahren dürfen. Ich war hier mit Freunden, es war nicht mein erster Besuch im Potemkin. Das Personal war wie immer sehr freundlich, das Essen war lecker und ließ nicht lange auf sich warten. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist ok. Wie gesagt es war nicht mein erster und definitiv auch nicht mein letzter Besuch im Potemkin

Alltid gode solforhold her, hele sommersesongen. Spiste penne arrabiata og stekte grønnsaker. Nydelig, men uten et stort utvalg av veganretter.

Love the atmosphere and the staff here was very nice. Didn’t eat the food tho so I don’t know how that taste :) (Übersetzt von Google) Ich liebe die Atmosphäre und das Personal hier war sehr nett. Ich habe das Essen allerdings nicht gegessen, also weiß ich nicht, wie es schmeckt,

The food is so delicious, prices are reasonable, the staff are super friendly and the view is picturesque🥰🥰🥰

Good atmosphere and location is awsome

Ein tolles Ambiente in einer tollen Lage. Mit großem Freisitz und schönem Wintergarten. Es war sehr voll, das Personal war sehr freundlich und schnell. Das Essen ist lecker und reichlich und das Preis / Leistungsverhältnis ist unschlagbar gut. Wenn wir wieder in Berlin sind gehen wir auf jeden Fall wieder hin. Man fühlt sich gut aufgehoben, da sich das Service Personal Zeit für den Gast nimmt: man wird gut beraten und es gibt immer ein nettes Wort und viel Spaß. Das gesamte Konzept ist einfach sehr gut. Sehr gerne wieder!

Įsikūręs restoranas gražioje vietoje,prie pat fontano. Karštą dieną labai daug žmonių . Maistas skanus. Kainos... Kaip ir visur Berlyne.
