Swadishta-Dinein-Lutzowstr. 69 in Berlin - Telefonnummer, Reservierungen, Bewertungen

An Indian vegetarian restaurant that also serves Maharashtrian food. My eyes popped up as I hardly have seen that in Europe. Overall the taste and ambience is fantastic. Have patience and one will certainly enjoy the food.

Food was good, it was tasty AB’s the staff was friendly!

Tried the vegetarian lunch special. Food was pretty good. I would eat here again. Paid by credit card and the process was automated and easy.

We were on Saturday here and by mistake, we paid €50 instead of 40€ for a bill of €36.80 via PayPal, because, of course, it was not possible to pay by card. The employee promised to call the owner to refund the difference, but it never happened. Plus we didn't get a bill, very unprofessional.

It was best Maharashtrian style spicy food I had in Berlin.

The food was very tasty and the service was friendly. I'm a vegetarian and had a lot of choice here. Would recommend it to everyone!

The waiters are really nice and patient. The Pani Puri is very good as a starter for two and is more than enough to share. The paneer special from lunch has a slight, pleasant spiciness and is very tasty. 10 out of 10

Nice place, served quickly, good food. The interior is neat but does not make any special impression. The kitchen is very good. Alert and sensitive waitress.

Lovely Maharashtrian restaurant! The food was so authentic! I went right back to the cities in this central Indian state! The spices are great and every dish is something I could recommend! The SPDP is great! Good quantity The kolhapuri bhel hits the right notes and well spiced. The papri chat is fantastic. The shikanji is great too. The chilli chicken is very hot and great for someone who likes spice. The north indian thali is good with quantity enough for two persons. Negatives: they didn't have the Marathi thali or usual pav, both of which were dishes for which I was visiting the place. Also the LIIT was slightly weird. Tasted more like a long island without the ice tea! Overall great experience ! Truly helped me fulfil my Indian food cravings!

Amazing vegan food, as a vegan it can be hard to find traditional and authentic and good tasting Indian dishes in Berlin in a vegan version and this is what we found here :)

Indian vegetarian only restaurant . Very good for paneer dishes , central Indian food (south and north balanced )

On the basis of excellent experience on an event with the food from the restaurant and reviews we selected the restaurant. Unfortunately it has been pathetic experience and didn’t look hygienic (spider net on the wall). The table wasn’t clean. I would rate the service as an average. We ordered mango lassi and salted lassi (salted one tasted quite well). Both came with 0,4 l size. I requested to get the small one after it came. The argument and discussion from the service was – you already ordered it. I said I didn’t order the big one – she answered rude you also didn’t order small, and insisted on keeping both. I answered that I know from all these restaurants that these are not made fresh, she can pour it back andbring the small ones. I didn’t order also the big one - she could have also asked while asking for the order. At the end of the day, she did it unwillingly and we found in the bill afterwards the bigger Lassi. The food had also a lot of oil which is also not unusual for these restaurants. It all - unfortunately very disappointing

The chats tasted amazing. The service was quick. The food was good. The restaurant is pure Veg.

I love the food the atmosphere and most of all the service and staff.we were coming late at night after a flight and went there to see if it was open they were closed but the owner opened the kitchen and served delicious food.I would recommend this place if you are in the area and want authentic Indian food.

Fantastic food and very friendly staff. We reached very late in night when they had already closed the kitchen. Owner kindly opened the kitchen again for us and we were served delicious food. We were back at the place next day as well and were not disappointed with the service and food. Definitely recommended if you are fond on authentic vegetarian Indian food. Plenty of options to chose from as well so you can be sure to find something for everyone.

We had a tasty meal, though the Misal we came for was unavailable despite being on the menu. The Bharli Vangi was good, but the Paneer was too spicy, and the Parathas were average.The staff was friendly. Overall, it was a good experience.

I ordered chole bhature today and I absolutely do not recommend the bhature. The chole was fine but the consistency of the bhature was like pani puri. Instead of having a stretchy consistency of a bhatura, it had a crumbly consistency. I assume excessive oil was put into the dough during kneading , since it crumbled into itself with every attempt of taking a bite sized portion. Even though I ate only half of the bhatura, I am already feeling sick with a stomach upset. Based on the other reviews, I assume the other dishes offered by the restaurant are good ( I didn’t try them), but I would definitely not recommend the bhatura.

Best India food in Berlin. Very good ambiance, service and food. Veg schezwan fried rice and Kohlapuri Bhel are the best.

Superb Indian Food, if you really want to have Indian food this is the best place

Must visit if want to visit typical Indian (especially Mumbai street food). We had ordered below items: Vada Pav: it was indeed reminded me of vada paav from Mumbai. Though bun could have been little softer, it felt very dry. Pani puri: this one came with Chhole instead of ragada which is fine. But yeah it was upto the standard. Dahi Puri (SPDP as per the menu): which was also good. Aloo paratha: which was hot and stuffing was good. Daal soup (for a friend): he loved it. And Mango Lassi: it was delicious too. Kachhi dabeli was on the other part, was below paar. Wouldn’t mind missing next time.

August 2024 - This once used to be one of our favourite Indian restaurants in Berlin, but two visits this year unfortunately point to it having gone fully local : bland and fatty.

One of the best Indian restaurants. Food were tasty and the very place where you get value of your money.

Authentic and amazing Indian food.

Delicious vegetarian Indian food, with many exciting flavors. Many dishes to choose from. Highly recommended!

Probably one of the best Indian restaurants in the city 🫰🏻

The best Dahi Puri you could ever have. All time favorite!

We only had a little something there but it was super tasty. There were also more Indians there. Price also completely OK. Some employees can only speak English but that doesn't matter 😁

Vegetarian restaurant with a lot of delicious options. We tried the pani puri and vada pav based on the reviews and both were amazing!! We also got the hot and sour soup, Sev Puri Dahi Puri, and Papdi Chat and the yogurt was sweetly spiced very well! Must go!

Visited this place for lunch today. The ambience of the restaurant is nice and the staff is courteous. But the food was just alright. Fresh sugarcane juice is a must try!

Best Indian food in town. You don’t have to think , just come here and you will come here more often. Being an Indian , I can totally vouch for this.

The menu has a lot to offer, except meat of course as the restaurant only offers vegetarian dishes. There is enough travel, but otherwise my portion was very small and I was still hungry afterwards. The staff was super friendly. The places outside next to the street are not very comfortable.

Great place for Indian food! Pure veg and great options. Chhola bhatura was the best but the other chat items were great as well. Will definitely go back!

Authentic Indian food. Spdp was very refreshingly good.must visit if you are craving Indian food

We ate multiple plates of Dahi sev puri and dabeli.

Good food . Pink lady drink is good . Chats is too good

We were very satisfied with our last visit to the Swadishta restaurant. The food was delicious, the service from the girls was first class and the atmosphere was pleasant. We really liked it and had a lot of fun. Thank you for your attention.

Delicious Vegetarian option. Super nice and helpful staff.

It was delicious. Even if you are not vegetarian you will love this place.

Was super tasty. I'd love to come back.

Awesome service and the manager is very friendly :) Food was excellent!

Very nice atmosphere and food. Spicy and tasty. I recommend.

We recommend! Prices are cheap, service is good and food comes quickly

Amazing food and customer service. Should try again!

Very nice Indian food. 100% recommend it.

I am a regular customer at Swadishta and as an Indian I can say that Swadishta is one of the best authentic Indian restaurants in Berlin. 10/10 food 10/10 service Top Top

Not very tasty and it seems that there is no particular attention to quality. I'm not coming back.

A great tip for vegetarian cuisine The restaurant offers vegan and vegetarian cuisine. There's a lot to choose from and what I tried was really delicious. The ambience is very simple, the focus here is more on the food and not on the surroundings. If you like Indian food, this is definitely the right place

Delicious authentic Indian food. The staff is also very humble and friendly. Highly recommend for a great service and yummy food.

One of the best Indian Restaurants in Berlin I have ever visited !

Yesterday, my husband and I dined at Swadishta, and unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory. The paneer Jalfrezi we ordered were excessively oily, making them very unpleasant to eat. When we expressed our concern to the waitress, she confirmed that this is how the dish is normally prepared. This was quite disappointing to hear. To make matters worse, we both fell ill the following night, which we strongly suspect was due to the overly greasy food. We hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves the quality of their dishes. For now, we cannot recommend this place.

The ambience and service were good. I ordered Dosa and paneer butter masala and it was very delicious. Staff is also very kind and available when needed. Overall it was a good experience.

The curry is really not Indian. Its germanised Not authentic.

The food was very tasty and the service was absolutely friendly and accommodating. Can only recommend it to anyone who likes Indian food!

They don’t care about allergies. When I mentioned allergies the server kept saying no nuts just cashew sauce… what?! That should have made me leave. The menu doesn’t accurately reflect the ingredients bc they don’t care. Must be management doesn’t care. Anyway, if you have no food allergies, the place is a nice neighborhood restaurant. Not five stars like make say. It’s nothing exceptional. Food is fine. Place is clean.

Good taste and good reflection at yuvraj

Definitely one of my favorite places to get some authentic South Indian food.

Great discovery. Excellent value for money. The staff is smiling and efficient. We had lunch on the terrace in the sun: cheese dosa, paneer paratha and cane juice. Everything was tasty. Address validated :)

today i visit this resturant everything was very perfect especially tandoori grill as well paneer butter masala , well cooked , ita was great experiance , i will come again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I took my German friends out for an Indian meal, and it was an excellent choice. Worth every penny! The food was incredible and tasted like authentic Indian cuisine. A must visit Indian restaurant..

Very, very tasty food and good taste

Scope for improvement in time taken for serving food

Good food, but very upset with the service and dish: Chole Bhature. Very oily, to the extent that you could feel the taste of friedness in your mouth. Have been a regular customer since 9-10 months, but very disappointed with the staff and the attitude towards the complaint.

Best Indian food in berlin imho. Chaats are so good as well.

Fantastic dosas (especially the palak masala), friendly staff and reasonable prices. Perfect lunch spot!

Today I ordered food through online service, hoping to enjoy a delicious Indian meal at home. Unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. The Idli was ok, but parantha was bland. The most significant issue was the "tomato curry" base used in paneer jalfrezi. It tasted heavily processed and full of preservatives, lacking the rich, authentic flavors one would expect from proper Indian spices. This sauce felt more like a shortcut rather than a genuine representation of Indian culinary traditions. The paneer in my dish was particularly concerning; it was old and stale, far from the fresh and creamy texture that good paneer should have. Serving such substandard ingredients raises serious questions about the restaurant's commitment to quality and food safety. The use of artificial sauces and stale ingredients does not do justice to the rich and diverse culinary heritage of India. I hope the restaurant management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements to their food quality. For those seeking an authentic Indian dining experience, I recommend looking elsewhere until these issues are addressed.

Enjoyed the food at Swadishta in Berlin. They customized for our infant to tone down the spice, yet packed in the flavors. Deepak, the owner really made us feel comfortable and at home.

Tandoori Paneer marinade was still fresh and it was not cooked . We ordered Daal Makhni that was not thick and buttery but tasted of just some garam masala spices and thin cream mixes together Naan was too dry Recommend Malai Kofta . It was good Service was fast and the ppl were courteous . The environment of was just ok , even though I could see the storage room being really shabby and not clean .

Was really tasty. I had to wait a long time until I was served. So take some time with you, but otherwise highly recommended.

Food was excellent vada pav as well kacchi dabeli so delicious service very fastly and politly speak i will come nxt time

Service is top notch . Tried vada pav and dabeli pav and is really awesome. You feel like Pune taste buds gets a treat. Misal pav again a great recommendation during food festival . Give it a try for yourself !

Ordered food for the company event and it was delicious ..

Had a nice experience having lunch at this place. You get good chat options and tasty south and north indian dishes.

This place is in my rare finds list! Awesome, wholesome, absolutely fresh, not greasy, no preservatives, taste on point food, I couldn't wait to dig in, thus less pics, we ordered thrice as much. Lots of options to choose from. Yuvraj, was very attentive and accommodating to everyone's requirements, with a smile on his face, staff too was quite hospitable. A+ for highend service class. Would anyday drop in for authentic desi food and service, with apt quaint ambience. Must go!!!

Very beautiful ambience along with scrumptious food.

Please keep up the quality, especially of the dosas. First times it was thin, the way it should be and how it’s served in India. But last time it was very thick and had nothing to do with dosa. If you lose your quality, you’ll lose everything because the interior isn’t very charming.

Pathetic experience , rude behaviour by waiter, they charged me for water bottle 5 euros, can did not allow me to take bottle home even though it was half full, he asked me to carry the water back in plastic glass

Great restaurant for vegetarian Indian food. We also ordered for our son’s first birthday party and specially requested food without onion and garlic. The chinese noodles were tasty!

Food is SO DELICIOUS. Literally ordered another whole meal to take away because I couldn't deal with the fact that it's too far away from me.

food was very superb and authentic as well service is very great, he is very good nature man which manage all thing, i will come again

Highly recommend for anyone who'd like to enjoy some authentic Maharastrian and Indian cuisine in Berlin!!

Super super delicious, I have no idea about Indian cuisine, but that was awesome. Nice staff on top of that and a bit of advice. Spicy but not too much. Any time! As a Wesfalian, I didn't miss meat, not for a second!

Ordered through Wolt Half of the order was missing The person did not bother to give me neither the item nor the money Had a tough time getting back ! Very unprofessional service !

Really authentic indian.. pure veg.. must eat when in Berlin.

Had the worst experience here today. Reached around 7.45 pm and waited for about 20-25 mins for a table. After sitting at the table, we waited for another half n hour, and no one approached us. There was some kind of event planned for the night for which guests started arriving, and they just left us there without giving any sort of information. After asking multiple times, they finally took the order and served at 9.15 pm. SPDP was good but chole bhatura was terrible. Extremely oily and half-baked bhatura. When we asked if they could take our next order, they declined. We saw 2 more people at another table wait for half n hour to order and they were told that they could not take their order after waiting for so long. The restaurant staff did not have the basic decency to inform the customers about their situation prior. They made us wait for such a long time and then denied service !

Keep your uber wolt apps shut while your day off's .I came 6.5 Km on monday just for a pickup and your restaurant was closed .. If you are in a business be serious About it

Always found the restaurant very good, but recently suffered severe food poisoning after a food delivery and can therefore no longer recommend it.

Very friendly staff and good service . One man army is there . He manage all things

The food is authentic and tastes great! Had ordered chhole bhature and special thaali… both were absolutely delicious

Delicious, inexpensive and vegan. I was warmly welcomed and served quickly (lunch).

Unexpectedly ended up at a vegetarian / vegan restaurant. Delicious food. And good and friendly service. We were surprised by the wide choice of vegetarian and vegan menu. It didn't matter if we didn't eat meat for once because it was so tasty that we didn't even miss it. The cocktails are also super tasty.

Very friendly service, delicious food and fair prices. Highly Recommended.

Food is good but service extremely bad. Ordered on Lieferando, they kept changing the timer. From 45 mins to 1 hour and 45 mins and when I called them up, blatantly lie that they had sent the order long back. If there would be delay atleast have the decency to call and inform or ask to cancel. Pathetic attitude.

We had some really great food here. The paneer butter masala was excellent. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal and we’d definitely be back if we were here for longer.

Not authentic Indian food. Service was very slow and bad. We asked to pack our Dosa and it was packed without any chutney which was already there in the plate and the sambar did not feel fresh at all. Not recommended

One of the best find in berlin for authentic Indian food. I visit often here and I eat Panner based sabji are good. Dal makani is nice. If you are Maharashtrian and love spicy then have कटवडा best prepared and within budget.

I honestly had high expectations with this restaurant. They have an extensive menu with lots of desi vegetarian options that you rarely find anywhere else but little did I know that we were set up for a huge disappointment. There aloo paratha had a good amount of stuffing but zero flavour. Chloe Kulche- HUGE disappointment.( If you can't prepare it well, please don't put it on the menu) Vada pav- zero flavour and very dry. Note: it's a Maharashtrian style vada pav. Hyderabadi biryani- average, nothing hyderabadi about it. Masala dosa- good. The EMPLOYEE (i think) said he didn't like the sambar, has problems with it. (Why are you serving the food you are not satisfied with??) Paneer tikka masala- Amazing!!(Note for desis, we asked for spicy) Sugarcane juice- Awesome!! Service- 5/10. -The person who took our order, was very very distracted, not listening well to what we were saying. -Another person came to ask how we liked the food and when we said it was good, he proceeded to say that he found problems with the sambar they were serving. What? Is this a way to talk to your customers? Do you usually serve food that you are not yourself convinced is good enough? If you don't care whether you are serving good food then why are you asking? -No salt and pepper at the table.

Had been here for dinner a week ago for the third time. For a vegetarian restaurant, the place has a weird chicken smell. We were sitted on an uncomfortable couch which looked as if it were taken from the street. Ordered chole bhature, katt vada, butter paneer, veg kolhapuri ani garlic naan. Veg Kolhapuri tasted amazing. Katt vada was good. Rest was okay. Food was served pretty quick. Found half a inch human hair in my chole. Told the waiter and without any hesitation or even before looking at my plate, he said it was my dog’s hair and went away. My dog is golden and the hair was black. Next he came back and inspected the plate and said, “This is definitely your hair. I’d change the plate but, it’s still your hair.” I’ve medium length hair! I saw no point wasting my energy arguing with an arrogant person. So I just said, “It’s definitely not mine.” Even if it were my hair by any chance, the waiter should have been polite because I brought the issue to his notice very politely. As a customer, I left the place unsatisfied and with an intention to never go back there ever again.

The food is delicious - no question about it. But the dishes are dirty, the tables are filthy. When we asked if we could sit upstairs, we said no, even though there was still plenty of space and other guests were also served upstairs. Unfortunately there were also communication problems, so my main course was very, very small. A pity!

Close to authentic Indian food in berlin

Good food for reasonable price. The service is quick, perfect for a quick lunch.
