Tadka Indian Restaurant in Berlin

I was in Berlin for a trip and found a very nice cozy place with authentic Indian food and service is very kind and friendly. Best part is street food momos 😘 you dnt find momos in restaurants. chicken Tikka masala perfect mixture of spices.will recommend to taste.

Trilobite dinner 10/10 Vakar was amazing service

We have been visiting this restaurant for 10 years now. At that time there was still a snack bar in the restaurant. Always satisfied. Always great. We had the best evenings here

As always, it was super tasty at a fair price!

Very good food and served quickly for 15 people. cheap prices

Great place to visit, very tasty and authentic!

Wow, I just had a wonderful lunch with lentil soup, delicious dipping sauces and chana masala (chickpeas). And my wonderful waiter tested me to see if I could handle spicy food. Yeah, I passed. But don't worry, it's also mild. Nice price! I'd love to come back - would you too?

Durch Zufall gefunden, klitzeklein aber hervorragendes Essen ! Nicht achtlos vorbeigehen, sondern definitiv hinein. Hatten Hühnchen,Lamm und käse/Spinat. Alles prima. Und günstig.

Very tasty real spices you can taste chicken tikka masala was awesome they made fish tikka masala also as it was not in the menu small cozy place very nice people we had complimentary drink after food

Cash only place. Very tasty food, polite service, and warm, cosy atmosphere. Tables both inside and outside on the street.

A bit noisy when a fire engine drives past outside but very tasty and very friendly.

Really tasty! Really authentic Indian food

very tasty food, nice staff, great location and atmosphere!

This is a cozy, family place. Neighbours gavering place. You can order here catering for your film)

I am visiting Berlin from out of town and this is one of the best meals I ate! I loved all the vegan options, which were plentiful and clearly labeled on the menu. Our favorite was the tofu Kadai. The tofu was SO flavorful in an amazing spice blend. Service was also excellent. The owner brought us a glass of juice at the end of our meal which was the perfect end to a great meal!! I highly recommend.

The chicken was not fresh but the sauce was good.

My cravings for desi food in Berlin was absolutely satisfied going here.. always makes me wanna go more and more thinking of their flavours !

Super tasty Indian food, great service and just a nice atmosphere. We recommend.

The people there were so nice and loving. They always asked us if we wanted more and stuff. The food was great. Sir gave the perfect amount of food, they never gave anything too little. The atmosphere was very good. They have so many things that represent India. The best dishes to order are Chicken Sizzler and Bhuna Lamb. They taste so good, they are cooked so perfectly.

Tadka is a charming small restaurant for an intimate atmosphere and accommodating staff who are attentive to customer requests. Our dining experience was delightful, particularly due to the amazingly flavorful chili paneer and very desi noodles. Also, their beverage selection includes Old Monk rum and Kingfisher beer which is just great to pair with Indian food. Based on the experience of my visit, I wholeheartedly recommend Tadka for a satisfying dining experience.

You will not miss Indian taste if you are here. Just amazing amazing food. Service and environment top notch. Some dishes are even better than India. Must try Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori chicken, Momos.

The food is so so good and the service is just lovely! Been there several times and can only recommend it

We were there for lunch: solid cuisine at a fair price

Really tasty food and polite service. It’s a good choice if you are in that neighborhood.

I have no idea what the dish tasted like because my mouth mostly felt like NAPALM. If you expressly say that you do NOT want it SHARP under any circumstances, no consideration will be given.

typical & traditional. authentic & honest Indian. super attentive staff & extremely tasty lamb meat. We were there for the fourth time and will be back! Thank you very much & keep it up!!!

Everything is delicious and always super friendly.

Super friendly staff, great service, and excellent food. 👏

Best Indian cuisine I’ve ever tried. Nice staff, very helpful in choosing the right dish. Thanks!

AMAZING FOOD! And i have been to many indian restaurants in Berlin looking for some quality food and authentic taste. The butter chicken sauce was really authentic and very flavorful. You can tell it is very carefully home-made and not just some paste. Chicken was tender yet well cooked. They also make it really spicy upon request. The garlic naan was very fluffy and warmly served. I also tried the stuffed naan with cheese. Everything was delicious!!

The best indian food ever. Absolutely worth a visit. I recommend the Dal Makhani.

Best Indian food I've had in Berlin so far. And I've tried plenty..

Had dinner here with some friends and the food and service were both great.

Really tasty, and also make it desi spicy upon request! In addition, good price/performance and very friendly staff. Recommendation.

Small, cozy restaurant. Music is playing in the background. Indian decoration. There is also a bar. Very nice service! The selection of dishes is large. You can both eat there and order takeaway. Menu is in both German and English. The food is super delicious!!!😋 Portions are not too small. You will definitely be full. We didn't have to wait long for our food either. Highly recommended!

Very good service, eat very well like in India 👌🏽

The food was delicious, but at that time the waiter unfortunately didn't write down anything about the order, asked three times and then brought the wrong food. The couple next to us said the fried noodles were the best here, but our butter chicken was top.

Had a lunch here very tasty Indian food. Restaurant was so good 👌🏻

We ate here regularly during business trips, as both the shop and the food are very authentic and really good! Price/performance and service - simply top!

I ordered Fish curry. The curry sauce is good, but the fish and the baked layer on top of the fish pieces is not cooked properly and it didn't give a pleasant aroma. Probably their other curries maybe better.

Had a lovely dinner here tonight. Restaurant was nice and tidy, the waiter was very friendly and the food was tasty. Wasn't aware of the fact that it was a cash only restaurant but they were accommodating that I quickly ran towards the ATM while my girlfriend kept waiting inside. Highly reccomend it when you are visiting Berlin.

Zero star. If there is an option.

Guter Service, schnell und effizient. Das essen war gut aber nicht umwerfend. Ich hatte ein chicken tikka Masala, und ich finde die großen paprikastücke waren etwas zu roh und hart für ein curry. Das Naan war lecker aber leider zu teuer. Ich finde man sollte brot für weniger geld anbieten 1-2€ für ein brot ist fein. Ich zahle dann auch gern 1-2€ mehr fürs curry.

The Cool, tranquil Environment, the calming cultural Music Selection, the reasonably priced Foods, and the friendly service all summed up for a memorable, satisfying Visit.

Good food, great staff, delightful ambience. We really enjoyed it!

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr aufmerksame Bedienung

A lovely and tasty meal, starters and mains, served by the kindest and humble staff. We came late on a Saturday and the place was calm and quiet, as opposed to the bustle of the neighbourhood. Would come again.

Very delicious food and very good services! Curry chicken,Chicken sop…..We like it greatly

Hier hat mir sogar der Kreuzkümmel auf der Vorspeise geschmeckt, und ich mag eigentlich gar kein Kreuzkümmel! Mehr brauche ich gar nicht schreiben.

hospitality, care of the guests and taste of food is just wonderful

Ein gemütliches indisches Restaurant mit besonders gut gewürztem Essen und günstigen Cocktails. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Pretty good overall, spices and flavours were great. Only issue I had was the meat, the chicken was that same "very mushy almost frozen taste" and the lamb didn't really have much flavour. Decor is nice, cocktails good, and great services.

Food is always good every time i go there. Service is also good!!! :)

A very nice and simple Indian restaurant.

Sehr gut! Der Service war super freundlich und schnell, das Essen war lecker und groß 😁 Besonders gut fanden wir tikka chicken Tandoori und shrimp tandoori! Das Masalla war mir etwas zu fettig, aber lecker, gut war auch das Vindaloo mit Lamm und die Papadums. Man kann schön auf dem Bürgersteig sitzen.

Went as a group of 5 led on by good reviews. Service was reasonably quick. The staff was friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. Food tasted great and was affordable. Restaurant was cozy with a nice atmosphere and background music. Bathrooms were clean. Excellent restaurant; highly recommend.

richtig lecker, fast zu grosse portionen

War ganz okay und freundlich, das Essen war bisschen wenig und die Hähnchen etwas zu weich..

Perfect service, great food! Highly recommend!

It's absolutely a fabulous restaurant. The way the service is makes you feel like home. The food is just mind boggling. I would recommend it anytime.

One of the best indian restaurants in Berlin. Taste very similar to indian street food. Very friendly staff.

Service und das authentische Essen sind Top. Reichliche Portionen, gute Beratung (Zutaten und Schärfegrad) und freundliches Personal.

guter Service, nette Kellner, leckeres Essen zu günstigen Preisen. Das Restaurant spricht der Webertung Auch möglich Brauner Kichererbsen Suppe zu bestellen.

Leckeres indisches Essen!! Ich war heute hier mit meiner Familie und allen hat es sehr geschmeckt. Schön intensiver Geschmack wie man es aus der indischen Küche kennt. Leckere frisch geraspelte Ingwer gibt dem ganzen noch eine besondere Note. Zur Schärfe: Die Kinder haben auch brav aufgegessen, da es nicht-scharfe Optionen gab. Auch wir „Großen“ wurden individuell nach der gewünschten Schärfe des Essens gefragt. Top! Also absolute Empfehlung für die, die mal geschmacklich weiter weg möchten. 😊

Kleines aber feines Restaurant mit super leckeren Essen

The food is absolutely excellent, and the service is just as good! Very friendly!

Amazing food and service. Nicest employees ever.

Edit: they had the audacity to answer to my review with a blatant lie! I had written the review from my POV to simplify what happened, while it actually happened to my partner right after I left. Now I adjusted the review to make it 100% clear. And as to the response from the restaurant: You didn't even allow my partner to TRY using his phone to pay after he said that he had both a debit visa and debit MasterCard. You cheapskates are simply trying to avoid the fees, causing him to waste 2 hours of his life!!! By the way, as you can see below, I did point out from the get-go that the food was good and it arrived quickly. So instead of bad-mouthing your customers online, maybe take the review as a serious issue and WORK ON IT!!! And OMG, don't you dare involve god in this in such a passive-agressive manner. YOU are the one who should be ashamed! Very disappointed. Here's my updated review: "Had a horrible experience there today. Food was good and arrived quickly, but although I was able to pay here with my MasterCard debit card 2 months ago, they refused to accept both my partner's visa and MasterCard debit cards. Since I had already left, my partner had to go back home to grab his giro card, since he only had his phone with which he can pay, but not withdraw money. Took him almost 2 extra hours. I wish I could bill them for his wasted time. Also, they told him that "normally, we don't accept card at all, we're doing you a favour!" What a money laundering den!!!"

EDIT: Stop spreading lies please, I asked multiple times that can I even pay with my debit card but your waiter kept on rejecting it saying "It is a Visa card, so it is a credit card" - but in reality, it was still a debit card! When I tried to use another debit card, which was a master card, he rejected it also saying that only German banks like commerce bank, Deutsche Bank, or Sparkasse are allowed. When I tried to explain that my bank is also German (DKB), he would not listen, and then I tried to pay with my top-up card which had enough money in it, he rejected it also, saying that it was not a German bank even though that was still an EU account, so there should have been no problem. I also explained that we have used all of these payment methods in the past and it always worked but he would still not listen. Then I had to go back home to get my Deutsche Bank Giro card to pay the bill and wasted almost 2 hours of my time so please before accusing your customers check with your own staff first and at least teach them the difference between a credit card and debit card. Also, I gave an excellent rating for the food and atmosphere, so before trying to shame your customers publicly, please try to get to the bottom of the issue and ask your staff to be more honest and informed with you.

Sehr lecker und nettes Personal 😊

Das Essen (Lamm) war sehr gut und authentisch gewürzt.Aber dass ein Nachschlag Reis extra berechnet wird sollte nicht sein. Auch die Toiletten sind vernachlässigt.

Katastrophe !! Der Laden sieht zwar nett aus, die Bedienung ist auch freundlich, aber das Essen war einfach nur schlecht ! Mein Lammgericht bestand aus Rindergulasch, ich hab gedacht ich spinne ! Wenig Gewürze, alles eher fade. Die Lassi war irgendein Joghurterzeugnis mit Sirup. Also das Essen ist sein Geld auf alle Fälle nicht wert !

Lovely food. Prompt service. A simply styled restaurant, very clean and courteous. The lamb was very good.

Great dhal soup, nice value. Authentic, homosh

Very close to Schöneberg S Bahn. Good indian food. Jain food option also available. Simple and tastiest dal tarka can be found here. Tomato soup is also delicious.

Nice place, good food, nice staff

Freundliche Mitarbeiter, dass Essen war sehr lecker. Chicken Curry zu empfehlen. Nettes kleines Restaurant

freundliches Personal, essen kam schnell da ind sehr lecker. preise ok. komme wieder!

Mit einer Reisegruppe von 12 Personen spontan ohne Anmeldung lecker gegessen und einen schönen Abend verbracht.

Waren spontan mit 12 Personen dort und alle waren überaus zufrieden mit dem wirklich leckeren Essen!

Super delicious! Awesome experience

Food was so delicious, the chicken vindaloo was so smokey and full of flavour. Tailored to your spice/heat preferences as well. The staff were so friendly and gave us home-made sauces to try. Beautiful!

Had the most AMAZING Indian food I have had in Berlin. The server was so wonderful and the food was incredible. Everything was bursting with flavour and the server even gave us extra spicy sauces when we said we liked spice. Great value for money, and has lovely staff and incredible food. Will 100% be back!!! Thank you so much! 😀

Das Essen war sehr lecker ,auch der Preis für die Menge ist nachvollziehbar Mitarbeiter sehr nett für wenn ich wieder in Berlin bin gehe ich wieder hier indisch essen.

Alles super, nettes Ambiente, große Portionen und sehr nettes Personal

Wir haben Butterchicken gegessen + 2 Cola 40€ und dafür war das ich nicht so lecker, haben auch beide Bauchschmerzen davon

Pani Puri was worst and the not fresh the potatoes were smelling its feels like very old, couldn't able to eat had to leave throw all and Momos was too tasting bitter!!!

Nettes Lokal mit freundlichem Service. Die Gerichte mit Ente waren sehr empfehlenswert.

* Chili Chicken (scharf) Hühnerbrustfilet gebraten mit frischer Paprika, Ingwer, Knoblauch, Zwiebeln und Tomaten * Fisch Chili (scharf) Rotbarschfilet gebraten mit Ingwer, Knoblauch, Zwiebeln, Tomaten und frischen Chili * Lamm Chili (scharf) Lammfleisch mit Ingwer, Zwiebeln, Knoblauch, Tomaten und frischem Chili gebraten * Bhatura

Wanted to give one but adding extra star for service. Food was not at all fresh and really mostly tasteless (too salty perhaps to hide the tastelessness) and as an Indian I could already taste that food was on the way to degradation. I was even afraid to eat too much to avoid problems later. I have no idea how could this restaurant is so highly rated perhaps by mostly non-Indians. Restaurant owners despite their good service should also take responsibility for people’s health and make sure not to serve old food.

Wir sind in dieses Restaurant gegangen weil es so super gut bewertet war (4,8 Sterne). Leider wurden wir enttäuscht verglichen mit dem was wir erwartet haben. Das Wasser vom Pani Puri war schal, die Samosas im Chaat Masala haben nicht frisch geschmeckt, die Pakora waren leider versalzen und die Momos hatten einen intensiven Geschmack nach etwas, was ich nicht identifizieren konnte. Positiv ist jedoch der Service. Wir wurden super nett und aufmerksam bedient. Und außerdem wusste die Bedienung immer was vegan war und was nicht und hat uns darauf aufmerksam gemacht, wenn eine Sauce nicht vegan war.

Schönes kleines Restaurant mit tollem Essen und super netter Bedienung. Ein wenig Indien in Berlin für das Fernweh.

Quality and quantity of food was good. But tast was just like any other Indian restaurants in Berlin. Nothing extraordinary.

The staff is very nice and supportive, and the great taste feels like it is in India. Butter Chicken & Butter Naan is the best to have once.

Tasty and delicious Indian food. We went to this restaurant for Lunch and it wasn’t crowded. We had kadhai paneer and dal makhani. It was cooked perfectly at Indian spicy level. Tandoori roti was big enough. Mango Lassi was also fine. Overall good food at reasonable prices.

Un lugar muy bonito, tradicional y tranquilo. La comida estaba super rica y los precios son cómodos. Tienen plato del día de lunes a viernes antes de las 16.

Had a very nice Indian meal here. Great food and very friendly service.

Zusätzliche englische Beschreibung der Gerichte, Bezahlung leider nur mit Bargeld.

Food is delicious, staff is friendly and caring!

Super place, very friendly staff. I'll come back for sure.
