Restaurant Blaue Adria in Berlin

I don’t usually write reviews but this time I felt it would have been wrong not to. We bumped into this restaurant choosing it just in the base of the reviews and the photos on google but I didn’t expect to find such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dinner was great.We shared a mixed meat plate and we enjoyed it to the final bite. Owners and waiters have been fantastic and shared a laugh with us despite the fact neither me nor my partner speak a single word of Deutsh. They were at ease speaking with us in English. We really had a splendid evening and the food was amazing. Highly suggested.

So I always enjoy it here. 😋 ...so, I ate here again today. There was probably a change of operator. The food still tastes good, the beer is cold, and the service's attentiveness is top notch. I would like to continue eating here. Best regards...

Never had such a bad Croatian meal before. Very thin, fried little slices of meat and the entire food was almost cold. Had the Adriatic plate.

Very tasty meat dishes 😋 Very nice service I'll be back!

After 30 years, unfortunately never again

We have always enjoyed coming to the Blue Adriatic for many years. Visited the new team for the first time today to celebrate my husband's birthday in a small setting. Table reservations were possible at short notice, despite the high occupancy. All four different dishes were super tasty. Very tasty salad with dressing. Portions were great. Very nice staff. Despite a very large company, we were always taken care of quickly. There was a small fireworks fountain especially for the “birthday child”. We were very satisfied and would like to come back. Many thanks to the new team!

Absolute disaster!!! The cevapcici were simply gummies and the fries were cold. Also over salted. My colleague had the feta plate... it was a piece of feta the size of a matchbox and the fact that he didn't want any olives wasn't taken into account. Never again and absolutely not recommended! Apparently they are new owners.

I said there was still a chance. Chance missed. The minced steak with feta seems to have been bought just for that. I returned my Adria plate the first time. The second attempt wasn't much better either. The meat is completely fried. I'm sorry. It's not worth it for these abnormal prices. That was finally the last visit here. Then why not have a kebab for €8... And goodbye....

A fantastic PLACE for a company celebration. The service provided by the young lady from the counter makes the visit unforgettable.

It's a shame that the Blue Adria has been declining since the change of ownership. The portions are super small, not like before where you were full and well filled. The rice is overcooked and all the good dishes have been taken off the menu. The food has generally gotten worse. The former cook is missing, she was the heart of the Blue Adriatic. A visit is no longer worth it under these circumstances. And again a good restaurant has disappeared. It's a shame.

There is no menu in English nor can you pay by card when we went on Sunday. The management and bad manners of this restaurant are a disaster. The suggested meat is very standard. We do not recommend this place in Berlin.

The food was ok, but there was nothing special, a lot of meat, otherwise fries and rice. The prices for this were pretty high. Unfortunately the service wasn't particularly good, very nice without question, but there was a lack of every course. A starter was missing and wasn't brought, the main course came at different times, i.e. when everyone was ready, the last one came and one dish only came with one half and 30 minutes later the other. We had to wait 40 minutes for dessert and ask several times. Overall it wasn't good and we won't be able to come back or recommend it.

Very unpleasant experience with an old looking waiter

We waited over 2 hours for the food, only after asking how long it would take a quick/lukewarm meal was served. According to the waitress there was no more rice, but it was served at another table 5 minutes later. Never again.

Yesterday we went to my favorite restaurant “Blue Adria” again There has recently been a new owner there and, to my regret, the "dishes for small appetites" (which were still very filling) have been taken off the menu. Very unfortunate! But the food still tastes just like it used to, the staff is very nice and as long as Yasmina still gives me her smile when I serve the food and drinks, I will definitely come back there again in the future ;-) Since it is usually relatively full, it is advisable to reserve a table in advance.

New operators since the end of October! We have been regular guests here since the opening ceremony in 1994 and have never been disappointed. Unfortunately, the quality didn't match that of its predecessor - it's a shame. Unfortunately, the saying “new brooms sweep well” is not true here. Beer was okay (when it was finally finished).

The “NEW” one will have a hard time. Unfriendly greeting. You've barely sat down: what do you want to drink? (emphasis on WANT) You can't deal with German guests like that. Maybe in Croatia? There are no longer any bargains when paying for Croatians/Yugoslavs. Our bill was just under *€100.00 plus tip. Unfortunately. Still hurts us today. Standard meal, so completely normal. Prices totally exorbitant. Maybe the "NEW" one will take a look check out the competitors. Price-performance ratio is not right here at all!! Seems to be a family business. Waiter - probably the son rude, listless and unmotivated like the father. Now in the pre-Christmas season the store is still full - things will look different later. You can't run a restaurant like that. The old owner and the waitress were a really great team. Always in a good mood, always attentive - great service. In any case, the “NEW” will NOT see us again. Promised !!

Were there today at 4 p.m. for dinner, a friend's birthday. Price of food and drinks 62.50 euros, the friend gave 80.00 euros because she liked the service. The waiter didn't even say thank you and, as is usual, you had to ask for a schnapps. That wasn't the case with the predecessor. VERY Pity!!!!!

Our problem...we have years of comparison options with old management. This comparison of course makes today's visit a two or at most three star experience. Nevertheless, the service was very friendly and attentive. We will of course give you further chances to get 4 or even 5 stars again. Unfortunately no more recommendations at the moment... what a shame!

I live around the corner and I went there today after not going in a while and I was surprised to see new staff, but I thought maybe I wasn't there on a specific week day. When I got home with my takeaway, what a surprise. The dishes looked nothing like before and also tasted very different. The minced meat steak filled with feta was less than 50% of what it used to be and it also looked a lot worse. The Adria plate was also a lot smaller and the meat was not cooked the same way. The prices were not low before, but at least the portion size was compatible. The staff was friendly but the food was disappointing. If they don't improve the portions and quality they will lose all the long term customers.

We came here spontaneously, before a concert at the UFO and were happy to get a seat. The owner is super nice, we talked about our vacation in Croatia and the food was also delicious.

Thank you for the last 12 years! We were able to discover the “Blue Adriatic” 12 years ago. We spent one or two evenings here with family and guests. Good food, warm service. Many wonderful hours. The “Blue Adriatic” has distinguished this quality. Unfortunately, the change did not live up to the high expectations. That was our last visit today. We still wish the new team all the best!

We ate there in the restaurant around 3 p.m. today, were very disappointed today 😞, the goulash soup was as thin as water, my husband's food wasn't particularly good either, meat was ok, rice was sticky and tasted terrible, my schnitzel from the discounter was ready Bought the Champions sauce without taste with Champions from the can, it's a shame, when we ate there in September, it was great, new menu now and the prices have shot up enormously, not even There was a schnapps to say goodbye, the restaurant is done for us

Unfortunately the food was really disappointing. Given the high prices, only offering half-full plates and not even sauce like tzatziki was served with the meat is absolutely not satisfactory. Unfortunately the food didn't taste good and was almost cold. Definitely won't be coming back.

The people are nice. But the food isn't great. Very poor, especially vegetarian. Many dishes are either completely frozen or supplemented with frozen stuff.

I was there, I am very satisfied, the ambience is beautiful, the food is excellent, the price justifies the quality, anyone who writes negative comments about the price in this restaurant should remember that a kebab costs eight euros and you don't even know about it no matter what you eat, it is well known that the quality of the food comes first. All praise for this restaurant from me❤️

We come regularly. Been here again after a year. Very disappointed!!!! Owner changed, card reduced, prices increased. My favorite dish, liver with garlic sauce, was disappointing. The liver was bad, still full price. The sauce was just a ready-made sauce with garlic in it. The older waiter was very nice, but that doesn't really make it any better. I am disappointed and can no longer recommend it.

Four years ago see photo attached... Unfortunately change of operator... Homepage not up to date... Ordered two dishes and according to the prices on the homepage it should have cost €40... When I arrive at the restaurant I pay €48 plus tip... So far so good...if the quality was right... When I get home I fall away from the faith. The stuffed pljeskavica was a thin slice filled with Gouda instead of feta... At least 30% less portion than before... The Adriatic plate was also only a small portion. The meat was mini small... with a small dollop of rice and a few fries... Then you had to pay a whopping €8 more than stated on the homepage and then a small portion, thinner meat, only one cevapcici instead of two and a mini dollop of rice getting it is really a JOKE. Sorry but unfortunately failed across the board. Never again blue Adriatic... Too bad. The old Blue Adria was our favorite shop and now we have been bitterly disappointed. I wish the old owners all the best and am thinking about what I'll eat now, because the portion for €48 wasn't enough for a long time...

DANGER! Very bad Restaurants under new responsibility Cheeky and absolutely poor quality Never again!!! Gouda filling instead of sheep cheese Number of pieces of meat is incorrect. If I pay 48 euros for two dishes, I would like to be well served.

Nice little restaurant, with very courteous service and delicious food, we liked it. Are we coming back? sure, of course

We were very sad that the "old" operators were no longer there, we ask ourselves why? What happened? After so many years it's simply no longer there. Too bad. We were extremely disappointed at how things had gotten worse. The Djuvec rice was no longer warm when it was served and tasted of nothing. Has nothing to do with Djuvecreis. Unfortunately the salad had no white cabbage and was very poor. The cevapcici had become so much smaller and solid, and the taste was also very bad. The goulash had a lot less meat on the plate and the sauce, definitely a ready-made sauce. And that for a proud €20. I proudly recommended the Croatian to others and in the end everyone was disappointed. With a bill of €170 I almost had to beg for the free schnapps. We were shocked and unfortunately we won't be coming back, even though we were regular customers for a long time. Sorry, but you can't run a restaurant like that. The waiters were friendly and tried hard, but in the end that wasn't enough. The previous operators were great, everything was great there. The food was always tasty and my "favorite restaurant", unfortunately no longer.

Things are going downhill, as a regular guest for decades I am sad about the change of operator. Poor quality of the food, even the schnapps on the house is no good. Special requests will be ignored.

Unfortunately, service is no longer as nice as it used to be Unfortunately, food has become less It doesn't taste as tasty as it used to The old owners were better. Unfortunately I'm disappointed and sad that the old owners are no longer there

We are very disappointed that a change of operator has now taken place here. The food is now just so-so. Before there was plenty on the plate, now there is only just enough. No longer a natural quality, just seasoned. Salad also became less without coleslaw, dressing watery. The service doesn't understand German. Extra requests were not understood. That won't work. It's a real shame about the store, they've always been regular customers.

Fantastic! But beware, plates are massive! Especially the ones with multiple meats. Staff is super attentive, speak perfect english and you can tell they really care about giving a great service.

Very nice cellars and very nice atmosphere. Highly recommended 🤩

Very good service, the staff are very friendly and the food tastes very good. I can only recommend it.

Very friendly innkeepers and very attentive. Eating was a dream, the small portion was almost as big as the normal one. Highly recommended.

Good food, large portions, nice service

We had lunch there on a Saturday with four people. Smaller than expected, but in a pleasant, appropriate atmosphere. The service was very friendly and quick. Our orders also came to the table very quickly. Everything was visually appealing, fresh and hot. Every dish (grilled plate, salmon, soup) tasted very good and was prepared to perfection. So everything is really great here! There is a small deduction for the condition of the furnishings and placement. In some places something could be improved, e.g. the missing stucco on the ceiling. Our seats were a bit awkward for four people because there were two benches next to the window front, which meant that someone always had to get up so that the other person could get up. In addition, an unpleasant smell kept coming from the toilets to our table. There is a need for action here. Conclusion, a nice little restaurant with very good food and great service! We'd love to come back :)

Dear guests from October 2nd, 24th. We were a large group. When the last people wanted to leave, one of our men noticed that his very large jacket and keys were gone. Instead there was a small black jacket hanging. We were hoping that the person who grabbed the wrong jacket would contact the restaurant. Maybe the person hasn't noticed this yet. So whoever on Wednesday, October 2nd. Left the restaurant in the evening with a jacket that was probably way too big. Please contact the restaurant.

We were looking for a place to eat comfortably while the children were at a concert in the Velodrome. We ended up here and were very satisfied except for the dessert. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, main course super tasty. We were disappointed that the full price was charged for my bedside table, even though I pointed out that the apple strudel was burnt at the bottom and I couldn't eat it. This criticism is intended to improve things so that guests come back, even if something goes wrong. All the best.

The taste is impeccable, the service is satisfactory, inconspicuous from the outside and the price is slightly higher than others, but it also has a unique selling point in the area. All right.

Just do it if you are in the area.

Good selection of food and drinks. The food was very tasty and plentiful. The service was careful and quick. The restaurant is very cozy and the price/performance ratio is very good

Always happy to go out for good food.

Very nice Croatian restaurant. Great meat quality.

This restaurant is very cozy, the food tastes delicious and the service is absolutely great, I can only praise it highly and recommend others to eat there 👍☺️👍

See tu recommend..Will be happy to come back.

Highly recommended. The waitress is super friendly and the food is very good. Lots of quantity and very juicy meat. A success to have dined here. Thank you so much

Very nice restaurant, great service, very friendly and open-minded. Highly recommended food, we would love to come back.

Das essen ist immer super zubereitet in mehr als angemessenen portion, das team super aufgestellt, ganz sicher immer einen besuch wert. Auch nach 1000km anreise.

Food is very tasty and the portions are large! 👍

We have been regular guests at this restaurant for probably 20 years, there is nothing comparable for us in terms of the quality of the food and the friendliness of the team, we definitely recommend it! We hope Martin and his crew remain our favorite spot for many years to come

Very nice staff and delicious food. Would love to come back

Always happy, the food is very plentiful and tasty

The restaurant is located on a quiet side street and therefore the seats outside are okay. The very friendly staff was also very attentive. Our six meals were all delicious, although nothing special. As expected, there was a lot of meat. Most of the varieties were cooked well. Only the pork belly was tough and tough on the edge instead of cross and the pork was too dry. Overall, a reasonable price for the very generous portions!

Very tasty and the portions are generous. Definitely coming back.

Really nice hidden gem, that serves good sized portions and reasonable prices. If you like 3 types of meat on a nice hearty meal then this is the place to come. Mixed grilled meats with mushroom sauce reminds me of my mother's food - come here to make your mother proud and get your dose of meat, potatoes, and other veg 👍

Great again and again Been here several times Easter 2017 Food what a question EXCELLENT The innkeepers are nice as always and there was also a little attention because Easter was small Easter baskets with sweets like Easter eggs made from chicken and chocolate :):) January 2018 It was father-in-law's birthday Food great Father-in-law had some problems not for the Blue Adriatic he got what he wanted fried egg and mashed potatoes with lots of butter That's what I call being individual to the Kd. thank you thank you thank you Been there again after a very long time Nothing has changed for the better. We're always happy to come back See you soon:)

Very good food and excellent service. Absolutely recommended. Classic Croatian cuisine.

Not working for Croatian fans after the match as we just passed by this restaurant. What's funny is, we got rudly rejected but we didn't even wanted to get in as we were just passing by.

Top food. Would love to come back.

Mega condescending and unfriendly. I work for a fundraising organization, so I've been climbing stairs all day collecting donations to help children in war zones. We had a quick snack here at lunchtime to fortify ourselves, then I came back an hour later because I urgently had to go to the toilet and there wasn't a public one nearby and I thought, well, I finally ate there and paid, I guess I should no problem! Yes, yes! They treated me very unkindly and threw me out “because we only ate so little there.” A carbonara was probably not enough. Trying to make money everywhere. Unheard of. And the fact that they only let you pay with a card for €15 or more... I also wonder a lot because it falls under the table... I always find it very suspicious either with or without. The carbonara wasn't particularly tasty either, so I can't recommend it anyway. But what shocked me the most was the disrespectful way he spoke to me.

Very good, but not outstanding food. That's why I give it an honest 4 stars. Not Maps measurement frame that only moves from 4.3 to 4.8. It is definitely a recommendation.

Eat good. That's why you go there. 😀

I wasn't entirely convinced. Overall, relatively expensive and the food was too salty. I've also experienced friendlier service.

Onvriendelijke eigenaar. Gevraagd aanvde serveerster of we een kop koffie en cola konden krijgen, was goed. Kort nadat we zaten had een van de kinderen een dopper bij zich, waarna de eigenaar ons zeer onvriendelijk verordonneerde om de dopper direct weg te halen

Delicious. The food is still really hot when it is served and the service is there quickly if you want to order something. 5 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

When we got to the restaurant, it didn't look that inviting from the outside. When we entered the restaurant in the early evening and it was already busy, we decided to eat there and it was a very good decision! On our plates there was excellent fried meat, various types of meat, all fried to perfection, a delicious salad and the service was also very friendly.

Every Tuesday after choir rehearsal, half the choir comes here. Always friendly, approachable. I often eat takeaway shortly before the kitchen closes because I can never decide. Thank you. Andrea

Der ältere Mann, der dort arbeitet, wollte mich (im 7. Monat schwanger) und meine sechsjährige Tochter einfach nicht auf die Toilette lassen, weil wir keine 50 Cent hatten. Unglaublich und bedauerlich für diese Welt! Aus Prinzip werden wir nie wieder in diesem Restaurant essen.

Every time my mum visits me in Berlin, we never miss a visit or two to Blaue Adria. It reminds us of our holidays in Croatia! Food is excellent (not a place for veg though), the mixed grilled meat plates are all super tasty! Although we don’t speak German, the waitress is always keen to make an effort and make us feel welcome. We even have our own table at this point! We love the family-like atmosphere too. We always can’t wait to go back! ❤️

As always, very tasty food, great service

I come here often, the conditions are always super friendly and the food is fantastic

Great, got two seats just before the concert. Fast, tasty, and very nice.

For meat eaters! The meat was OK, the rice was boring. Not my case!

Delicious. Have been regular guests for 20 years

Friendly operation and good service. The small potpourri platter was also okay - but everything was a bit dry for my taste.

Very tasty food, friendly, helpful service, highly recommended.

We can only recommend the restaurant. Delicious food and friendly staff! Excellent! 🤩🤩

A great restaurant with a great ambience, very friendly staff and very good food at moderate prices. The menu is very varied. There is something for everyone here. I would love to come back and would be happy to recommend you!

The food was good and plentiful. The service was okay. Would I come again.....yes

As always, very tasty, very nice service, cozy atmosphere. Greetings from the 33rd eater ✌🏻

We spontaneously went to this restaurant on a Saturday and were lucky enough to get a seat. The restaurant is clearly for meat lovers, so I liked it. I liked the grill plate and the service was nice.

Good, consistent restaurant for many years

Ate and drank very well, very nice and courteous service. To recommend.

Super nice service. Everything is thought of and special requests are also fulfilled.

Haha Hello dear Adria team, Nico, Nicki and I had a feast with you today and it was excellent. We thank you for your commitment, see you next time Very nice waitress and great food

A nicely decorated restaurant near the Velodrome. The service was very good and the food was, as usual, meaty and tasty. Gladly again.

Very nice restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food, we really like going there

Very tasty food, ideally located for a nice meal before going to a concert

Always great. Food and service very good.

Great food, great staff, always happy again!!!!!! 😍😍

Typische kroatische Küche. Große Portionen. Preise angemessen. Nur am Wochenende mittags geöffnet.

Really nice family restaurant serving fresh high quality food. Highly recommended for true Berlin experience.

Sehr gutes Essen, grosse Portionen und freundliche Bedienung. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Qualität und Preisleistung völlig überzogen. ScharfeTeufelssuppe absolut nicht scharf. Bratkartoffel völlig fad, ohne Würze, kein Speck oder Zwiebeln an den Kartoffeln. Fleisch teilweise schwarz oder stellenweise fast roh. Teuerste Fischplatte schlecht entgrätet, Kroketten ein paar frisch, ein paar wie ranzig vom Geschmack. Wir sind 40 km gefahren um mal wieder kroatisch essen zu gehen. Ein absoluter Reinfall. Wir 4 kommen nicht wieder. Schade, da wir die kroatische Küche sehr schätzen.

Immer wieder schmackhaft. Immer wieder reichhaltig. Immer wieder gut.
