Yummy Kitchen Indisches Restaurant Kreuzberg in Berlin

I absolutely love South Indian food and it’s something I personally feel is difficult to get wrong. Really really disappointed with the taste and quality of the food here. We ordered idli which were so bad - they were crumbling the texture was off and the taste just so bland, we actually sent it back. We also ordered two dossas one masala one mysore and both were below average, the potato mix inside was so mediocre and tasted bland I managed to somehow finish mine (more cos I was hungry than anything) and my partner only ate the dossa part and skipped the potato. I’ll give them an extra star cos they graciously excluded the idli we sent back from the bill but otherwise if you are looking for good comfort South Indian food this just isn’t the place for that

We ordered beef curry porotta beef pepper and fish curry. It was the best we had in a loooong time! The service was also unmatchable. ❤️✨

Authentic South Indian cuisines are available. Esthetic atmosphere and friendly staffs is a big plus. Must visit restaurant in Berlin.

Great food and courteous staff. We tried Biriyanis, chicken tikka and the Chettinad Chicken curry which were all yummy.

good food, much closer to traditional indian food than the usual indian restaurant in berlin. so far the only place in berlin that I found with Kerala fish curry

The service here is always top-notch, but the food is what really stands out. I usually go for the Kottu Roti or the parotta set with either veg Kuruma or Paneer Chettinad Curry. The portions are always generous—I keep forgetting just how much food they serve! Every visit has been consistently great. This is my go-to spot whenever I’m craving kottu parotta. Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic meal here! The authentic South Indian flavors were vibrant and expertly prepared. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving genuine South Indian cuisine!

One of the best South Indian restaurant I visited in Berlin!

Really authentic south indian cuisine, I don't think it gets better than this. We tried beef kothu parotta and biryani. Biryani was okay but the kothu parotta was spicy enough to set the building on fire

The chef conveniently said "we use the rice from chicken biriyani for the veg and egg biriyani" and served it to a pure vegetarian, with absolutely no remorse of the situation. Was a good: service at the beginning, but with now I wouldn't come back anytime soon. Thank you for a great service😏

Guys, please do not stop delivering to areas near Hackesher Markt! :(

Good customer service and good food Staffs are really friendly

Amazing food, awesome host simply loved everything. Worth the hype. However veg is average but nonveg (specially chettinad chicken and prawns tandoori was amazing 😍😍) definitely recommend it. Also do try the parota and salted lassi😘😘

Absolute disgusting food and ambiance. They keep you wait for couple of minutes and then let you in. After that they say only selected items available. Food taste is also pathetic. All the typical reviews are from their friends and family. I would definitely never recommend this restaurant.

I have been a regular at Yummy Kitchen for almost 3 years now - it is my second home in Berlin. The first aspect I love about the restaurant is the warm hospitality of the staff, courtesy of Chef Nalan and my dear friends Rahul and Amulya who are always very attentive to all requests and will make sure your experience a memorable one. I have tried almost all the dishes on their menu but I am particularly a fan of their weekend special menus which keep changing. The food is absolutely delicious and I can’t get enough of it. They constantly serve authentic Kerala cuisine as well as all other popular north Indian and South Indian dishes. My personal recommendations - Chattichoru, porotta and beef curry, biriyani, dosa varieties, Yummy Tandoori platter, fish curry, starters and all weekend specials A big thank you to the team at Yummy Kitchen and I highly recommend everyone living in or visiting Berlin to go visit and taste the authentic dishes they serve on a daily basis! PS - attaching a picture of the Special Chattichoru I ate recently

Cute chettinad cuisine restaurant in the middle of a bustling street Brings you back to a typical south indian cafe! Good menu selection with good prices Would recommend ghee podi masala dosa! Which was fantastic! The aviral was great had it with a parrota The idli sambar was sub par. The idlis weren't the best. The thatta dosa also called set dosa was nice and spongy. The rasam is a let down, it lacks a punch and is more like an accompaniment for rice than a starter which is what it is marketed as. It isn't like the brothy spicy soup one would expect and is more like a tomato dal.

This place is quite high for every mallus . A perfect place for reunion and the food was awesome.

Must visit restaurant in berlin.... for south Indian cousin lovers...... If u feel like missing your home... head up to this place and hang out ....... nice (staffs) friends. All the above foods were divine..... Keep feeding more authentic foods.....

Totally happy and satisfied after visiting Yummy Kitchen! Today the three of us tried the weekend specials (meals & chatti choru beef) and we were thrilled. We haven't been able to experience such perfectly authentic "Kerala style" in Berlin for ages. Kudos & Thanks to the Chef, Amulya & Rahul for their hospitality and service. 100% We'll be back! ❤️

I love the food here. Very authentic tasting. Highly recommend the porotta and beef here. And friendly service by Amulya and Rahul.

Best indisches restaurant I have been in Berlin. Good service, beautiful ambience. To have authentic south Indian food, this is the place. ❤️

One of the best south indian food in Berlin. Authentic kerala meals. Customer service was awesome. Especially Amulya and Rahul ❣️. Chef Nalan also friendly and his Beef fry was superb 👌

The best thing about here is the service,how they take care the customer. The food is also very good, especially the meals and briyani. Everyone should try once.

Each dish is crafted with the freshest ingredients, ensuring a taste that delights your palate. Our attentive staff is dedicated to making your dining experience enjoyable and memorable, with prompt and friendly service that caters to your every need. Special thanks for (Amulya ,Rahul and chef Nalan)

The food was awesome! The place looked nice, the people were friendly, and the food tasted really good. I loved it there and would go back again.

I’ve been looking forward to trying all dishes at Yummy Kitchen for a while now, and was so glad that I did! The food was so delicious and the service was really great, too. We loved this place because it wasn’t just the typical dishes you usually find. Nalan and Amulya should get at least 5 stars for her helpful service and good attitude. Great job, Amulya and Nalan

The food was heavenly and took me back to Kerala!! We ordered Mutton Biriyani and Beef ularthiyathe with Malabar porotta. The taste was authentic and the portion size was enough for a foodie like me. The staff, Amulya, was very friendly and she introduced us to the chef Nalan. We will definitely go there frequently and I highly recommend the restaurant to the Malayalis in Berlin and south Indian food lovers!! :)

I usually order 'Chicken biriyani', 'Mutton biryani', 'Beef ularthyathu' and 'Avial' from this restaurant and it was my first time today visiting the restaurant. It was a very pleasant experience interacting with the staff 'Amulya' and the chef ('Nalan') himself. They were really friendly :) I would highly recommend this place for the most authentic South Indian food.

If you are craving for authentic south indian food this is a must place to visit .

The best mutton biriyani I have tried so far in Berlin. Great atmosphere, good service, the staffs are really nice and fantastic service, especially Amulya. A must try👍👍

Kothu parotha was good. Naans could have been better!

We absolutely loved this place. Even though next door was busier, this place felt much more authentic and all the other customers were South Asian. The two people who served us were so kind and friendly!!! Great find. Why don’t more tourists take a 20 minute stroll from Potsdamer Platz and experience the local neighbourhoods a stones throw from their proximity.

I have been here multiple times, mostly for the biriyani, but last day, I had the masala dosa, and it was amazing. It was a great plating with all the necessary chutney and a good sambar. Also, I ordered the beef curry and rice, which was delicious. The only problem was that it got over so fast😅😋

If you’re yearning for an authentic South Indian dining experience in Berlin, look no further than Yummy Kitchen. This unassuming restaurant transports you straight to the vibrant kitchens of Kerala with its array of exquisite dishes and unparalleled hospitality. From the moment we stepped in, we were warmly greeted by the humble and attentive staff, who made us feel right at home. Their exceptional service went beyond mere courtesy—they were genuinely invested in tailoring our dining experience to our preferences. This personalized touch set the tone for an unforgettable culinary journey. The menu at Yummy Kitchen is a treasure trove of South Indian delights, but a few dishes truly stood out and deserve special mention. The Pazhampori and Beef, Beef Dry Fry etc. However, the highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the Chatti Choru. Served in a clay pot, this meal is a symphony of textures and tastes. The authenticity of the flavors at Yummy Kitchen is unmatched. Each dish is prepared with a meticulous attention to detail that reflects a deep respect for traditional South Indian cooking. The ingredients are fresh, the spices are vibrant, and the cooking methods are faithful to the roots of the cuisine.

For an authentic taste of South India in Berlin, Yummy Kitchen is the place to be. Trust me, it’s not just a meal—it’s a culinary adventure you won’t soon forget.

As an Indian, I would love to support them. I rarely write reviews but this place is so inconsistent. You can order the same dish 10 times and get 10 different variations. They leave out key ingredients regularly yet I keep ordering because they are close to where I live. Rather order from Abirams next door to them.

This restaurant stands as a paragon of authenticity for those seeking a quintessential South Indian culinary experience. The service consistently exhibits an exceptional level of attentiveness and professionalism, while the restaurant itself maintains an impeccable standard of cleanliness.

Great Kerala porotta. Amazing chicken roast - chef's recommendation

If you are in Berlin, and craving for some real authentic south Indian food, and getting disappointed by a lot of Indian restaurants. Habibi come and visit Yummy Kitchen. I am telling you I was 200% satisfied. Specially the weekend one fish curry meal. Samuel and Guru deserves a special appreciation for a good service

We loved it and the food were awesome with taste which reminds us about our home. It’s great place where you get South Indian food very tasty and very great service…. The service was adorable …. Recommend for all South Indian food lovers especially kerala food lovers

I ordered take out. In my experience the food was below average. The samousa had very little filling and I found it very oily. I also ordered Dahl which was a little bland but a nice consistency. I had chicken 65 and I found it had a weird sour aftertaste. Throughout the meal, I had a sour aftertaste in my mouth, and I felt that the food was not very fresh. The chicken was also very oily and tasted like old oil.

Very great customer service! Only recommended!

One of the only place that serves beef dishes from South India, love it!

Super delicious, authentic food. The service was so nice and friendly. Just wonderful :)

None of the staff speaks German, but English doesn't get you very far either. There is confusion and you don't know who is waiting there and who isn't. Nevertheless, everyone was very friendly. It sounds like a contradiction, but it was true. My food was delicious. I emphasized that it shouldn't be spicy, but it really is spicy. My companion spent the night in the bathroom; there was probably something wrong with the meal. I won't go there again.

Came across this place randomly as we were in the bus and then we had a real craving for some porota and chicken curry. This place delivered Amazingly satisfying flavours and fairly priced. Staff were very attentive and the atmosphere is nice and cozy Highly recommended and will come back for more

Im from Kerala, India and I always give a chance to few of the authentic restaurants in Berlin. But just like the rest, Yummy was a disappointment:( I ordered a mysore masala dosa and to my surprise there were raw onions and carrots inside. I told the waiter about it, and he said that’s the way it is. I don’t think I have ever had any dosas that way, even in Mysore. Anewas, it’s my mistake

Fantastic dosas, idlis and great dum biryani as well.

Great ambience, close to authentic south Indian food. Kothu parota is a must try, reminds you of home! The staff were super friendly and warm. The food could be served a bit faster but the restaurant was also pretty packed so the delay is justified. All in all, good experience and definitely worth visiting more often in contrast to Saravana Bhavan.

Super tasty and authentic food! Always happy 🫶🏻

I have been looking for authentic South Indian in Berlin for a while. So glad I found this place. Brought me straight back to Tamil Nadu in India. The idli is fantastic!

Masala Dosa is amazing there, very close to the original!

Fantastic ambiance, attentive service, and delicious, creatively crafted dishes. A must-visit for food lovers!

Real authentic Indian food which I highly recommend. Besides the great food the service is lovely.

One of the most authentic biryani they serve in berlin.. Must Try... Good food and more than enough quantity.

Incredibly delicious dishes and super lovely staff! Would come again and again.

The food we order was really good. We ordered Parota, Kongu chicken curry and Biriyani. Parota was asusual good. The biryani was really good, one of the very few places which serve close to authentic biryanis! 🤤 Kongu chicken curry was also good, but the chicken could have been cooked better/ not spongy. Also I’d hope they don’t use colours in their chicken fries and tikkas much. The only thing missing is the flavour in all of them, was a good flavour after all, but it could be some more intense with the spices giving the actual authentic flavour of southern India.

Great recommendation! Authentic food from southern India. The chicken biryani is my favorite, but the tandoor dishes are also recommended!

Very delicious South Indian foods.. I ordered Prawn roast and porotta.. If you really wanna taste Kerala authentic food, I strongly recommended

Been here twice. The food is really good and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Onam sadya is their best. Totally recommend

I just love the food and the whole team... The Chef and the service team are especially friendly and well treated...

Nice restaurant foods are comparatively good

Good Authentic kerala Food! Amazing Service.

This Indian restaurant in Kreuzberg took me into a world full of exotic flavors and authentic flair. The staff greeted me with the characteristic friendliness and warmth associated with Indian service. The fact that they speak English and Indian rather than perfect German gives the restaurant an extra charm. Service was generally excellent, and staff took the time to answer my questions and make recommendations. You shouldn't be shy here, but rather enjoy the atmosphere and the authenticity of the staff. My culinary highlight was undoubtedly the “Chettinad Chicken and Lamb Curry”. The dishes were original, South Indian spicy and prepared with fresh ingredients. Every bite was an explosion of flavor and took me on a culinary journey through the diversity of Indian cuisine. For lovers of original food, this restaurant is definitely the right choice. Not only does it offer a wide range of authentic dishes, but also an atmosphere that transports you to India. I'm already looking forward to enjoying this unique culinary experience again!

Home away from home. Gorged myself with nice food and finished with Kattan chaya.

I think the restaurant has been under new management since 2024. The menu and the quality of the food have changed. We have been here several times in the past and it was above average. Now it's in midfield, not worth a special visit. Butter Chicken was OK. Paneer too. Unfortunately Garlic Naan without melted butter. Service was very inattentive. Even though there was nothing going on, we had to wait forever, first to order and then for the bill

Tolles Essen und äußerst freundliches Personal.

We have been there three times, we had dosas, soup and curries. The first two times were really great, so we came back. But the last one was a big disappointment. The food was very blend and the soup was so salty I could not eat it. I mentioned the problem and requested a different soup. The cook/waiter said he would fixed. The soup came back super watery and with some extra turmeric color and flavor. It was even worse. I would love to come back, and bring guests, but am afraid to have the same experience as last time. I wonder if they had different cooks preparing the food on the different occasions.

If you want to try proper indian food with good spices flavours then this is the place. Big fan to this place now🙏

Super Nice and Authentic South Indian Cuisine. Must try Fish curry and Biryani.

Wir hatten die Dosas und zwei Currys (eins mit Huhn, ein vegetarisches). Das Essen ist okay, aber es fehlt das gewisse etwas. Wir haben schon deutlich besseres Indisch gegessen. Preise sind allerdings fair. Bonus: Es ist relativ ruhig dort!

Great dosa options and a good spot for lunch. Seems quite authentic with an above average menu for an Indian restaurant in Berlin.

I was the only one in the restaurant. My order took 45 minutes and it was the worst dosa I've ever eaten. Cold, not spicy, looked half eaten. I complained to the host and he said it was because it got stuck to the pan, like there was nothing they could do about it. What a joke. I wish I had those 45 minutes of my life back.

5 Stars for having porotta and beef curry. The real taste of Indian food. Loved it!! ❤️🔥

Great service and taste finally original South Indian taste

The food was bang average. The service and the attitude of the serving person was pathetic.

Ordered online via Wolt. Rarely have I had good Indian food in Berlin. This was insanely good. If you have been in Germany for a longish time and miss Indian food, here is the place to go.

Someone recommended me this place and I was a bit disappointed. I ordered chicken korma and it was very bland and the taste just not authenthic. Maybe their South Indian dishes will be better, there was a lot of variety. The waiters were nice, but there's much better restaurants out there.

I ordered chicken biriyani. It has enough quantity for a single person. It tastes very good😋.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, aber ehrlich gesagt ist der Service am schlechtesten (sehr unprofessionell). Wir bestellten Rośe 🍷.. und der Kellner hielt das Glas von oben (wo wir unsere Lippen hinsetzen sollten) Wir mussten lange warten, bis wir überhaupt Trinkwasser bekamen. Andererseits war das Essen gut und die Essensmenge war gut. Sie haben keine Getränke (Cocktail) 🍻.

Best food - the prawn 🍤 biryani

I was wanted not spycie food, and ask staff for recomendation, then food arive it was very spycie, they redone food 3 time, and at the end it was still very spycie, the chef try to convince us that is not spycie, my time energy was wasted, and experience was very bad

I don't like it. Either the chicken is dry and tough or the texture or flavour of vegetarian dishes. Takes very long to be served

Wunderbare Gewürze, wirklich lecker und familienfreundlich :-)

Es ist schwierig es zu bewerten, den das Essen war super. Mein Freund fand es, als das beste was er je im Berlin gegessen hat( indisch).Frische Produkte einfach klasse. Die Ambiente ist auch toll aber nicht wow. Das Service... die arme Bedienung war ein bisschen überfordert. Er hat sich öfter für die Verspätung des Essens entschuldigt, was wirklich zu spät kam. Ich bekam was falsches ( nicht das was ich bestellt habe) aber er ist sehr professionell damit umgegangen. Als Entschädigung gab es ein Mangolasi. Ich werde gerne wieder hingehen.

Das Yummy Kitchen in Berlin ist einfach fantastisch für Liebhaber der indischen Küche. Authentisch Gerichte ohne viel Hype. Total lecker in jedem zu empfehlen.

Das Yummy Chettinad ist einfach fantastisch! Die Aromen sind umwerfend, das Personal ist aufmerksam und die Atmosphäre ist einladend. Probieren Sie das Chettinad Chicken und die Dosas - ein kulinarisches Erlebnis, das Sie nicht verpassen sollten. Ich komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

The taste of food is amazing. Loved the way of service. A good place to have an authentic Indian dishes with family.

Some of the items in the menu are amazing. The others can be improved. I would recommend the Pepper chicken curry.

I visited Yummy Kitchen a few weeks ago when I was in Berlin, and we went back for the two next consecutive days. Over the course of the three visits we ordered dosa with mutton curry, squid masala, chicken 65, gobi 65, beef fry, rasam and biryani. The food was fantastic. Naalan and his team have done a great job of bringing authentic dishes from South India to Berlin. The squid masala and beef fry accompanied with some cold mugs of beer in particular was outstanding, although I think every item on their menu would be delicious.

It’s a must try . They have the authentic flavours and taste. The staff is also very good. Worth for money

We went there twice when they had an offer for thalassert chicken Biriyani, and man!! it tasted really good. I have been there another time to try out some other dishes and it always tasted really authentic ( speaking from a malayali's pov). Could maybe improve a little bit more with the ambience and cleanliness of the toilet area.

Good experience, friendly staffs, delicious food

Most delicious and best biriyani in berlin ❤️. Great staff and reasonable price. Go to place for biriyani❤️

I dont recommend. They mistook my order and gave me a different salad which consisted of salad mix, tomatos and cucumber. They brought me naans 20minutes after bringing the salad. The rice was quite ok but it’s nothing special

Have been to this place twice, and had a decent experience overall. It's a decent place to have south Indian food, and the parottas (Kerala parotta) are good. We also tried veg kotthu parotta which was also pretty tasty. But the curry we ordered was just filled with a lot of pepper and it was very overpowering. And the cheese omelette that we ordered was a sorry excuse for an omelette with just a couple drops of cheese put on top with hardly any flavour or seasoning. And one thing which this place is definitely lacking is the ambience. The lights are too dim, the place is a bit dirty and was filled with flies/insects the last time we visited. This is one thing the place should definitely get better at. The last time we visited, the service was pretty slow too, and we had to wait a lot for our order even though the restaurant was pretty empty. On the other hand, I've heard that this place has great non-veg food. So maybe non-vegetarians might have a better experience.

Zeer tevreden van het eten en de bediening! We namen Chicken Biryani & Chicken Tikka Masala. Een echte aanrader!

A real curry. We ate with the 3 of us & all the meals were excellent. Proper curries & with the perfect spices. Absolutely delicious. Highly recomend this restaurant. Thanks guys!

Ich habe heute das Mutton Dum Biriyani probiert und bin begeistert! Die Aromen waren herrlich und die Gewürze perfekt abgestimmt. Das Gericht war schön präsentiert. Ich werde definitiv wiederkommen, um mehr von ihren köstlichen Speisen zu genießen

Super tasty Parota! The staff is nice but just extremely slow.

Hatten mal wieder Lust auf Indische Küche. Und waren gerade in Kreuzberg unterwegs, am Abend. Sahen zwei Indische Restaurants, gleich nebeneinander. Der erste war gut besucht, der Nebenan quasi ohne Besucher auf den Draußen-Plätzen. Wir dachten, na gut, mal diesen testen und hatten uns draußen an einen der leeren Tische gesetzt. Der Service fragte uns als erstes, ob wir aus Berlin kommen..., ja! Diese Frage kann man im Nachhinein so oder so Werten 🫣 Vorweg: Die Auswahl dieses Restaurants war die falsche Entscheidung! Preis/Leistung stehen im krassen Missverhältnis. Für bspw. ein Limettenwasser mit frischer Minze: 6,90 Euro?! Das muss wohl etwas besonderes sein! Nein, es war einfach nur Wasser mit Geschmack und dafür zu teuer. Wir bestellten zudem eine Platte für zwei Personen, Hähnchen Tandori und Fisch Tandori, Reis, 3 verschiedene Saucen, Lycheesekt vorab, und zum Dessert Früchte mit Eis. !Nächster Fehler! Lycheesekt war Lycheesaft aus der Dose, ohne Sekt; später sagte der Service, man hätte uns vorab darüber informiert das der Sekt fehlen wird. Blödsinniger Versuch, der leider nicht der einzige bleiben sollte! Das erste was an Essen kam, war ein wirklich kleiner Salat, in liebloser Optik und Auswahl. Weiterhin kam in der Folge das von uns gewünschte Knoblauchbrot (Garlic Naan), Fleisch und Fisch auf einem und demselben Teller, und eine grüne Sauce dazu. Weitere Saucen, 3 sollten es sein, kamen nicht, und als meine Partnerin dieses im Laden monierte, versuchte man ihr etwas aus Plastikbeuteln (ein Versehen?) anzubieten. Schock! Daraufhin und nach einem kurzen Dialog am Tisch, servierte man uns irgendwelche, wohl schnell zusammengesuchte Topings, optisch und geschmacklich reinste Katastrophen. Zumindest war eine dabei, eine Art Suppe, mit der man den Reis essbar machen konnte, aber indisch war das aus unserer Erfahrung nicht. Hauptgericht : Fleisch (Hähnchen) und Fisch (Lachs) waren absolut totgegrillt. Das Hähnchen, m. E. schon zum 3ten Mal aufgewärmt, knochentrocken, zudem ungewürzt, durch lediglich Marinade auf der Außenseite optisch auf gewürzt getrimmt. Der Lachs, viel zu lange auf der Flamme und deshalb total trocken, auf der Haut verbrannt, hatte seine Art der Zubereitung auch nicht verdient. Insgesamt ein totaler FLOP, zudem für viel Geld. Dann, wir waren mittlerweile ziemlich und auch sichtlich enttäuscht, kam das Finale, das Dessert! Sollten Früchte mit Eis sein, laut Karte! Was zu unserem Unverständnis kam, kann ich nur beschreiben, nur angeteast, gegessen haben wir es nicht. Laut Service angepriesen, irgendwelche Kugeln aus Getreide, diese, in warmen Zuckerwasser (hatte ich probiert) serviert! Ausrede auch hier, man hätte uns informiert, dass kein Eis vorhanden war; alles in einer undeutlichen engl. Sprache, die wir tlw. nicht verstanden haben, Englisch sprechen und verstehen wir, der Service uns aber auch nicht. Hatten hinsichtlich Dialog am Ende aber keinerlei Ambitionen mehr um uns mit weiterer, und schlechter Energie zu befassen. Bezahlen und weg, hoffen das nichts unvorhergesehenes nachwirkt. Leider meine/unsere schlimmste kulinarische Erfahrung der letzten Jahrzehnte. Sehr enttäuschend! Auch die WC's. Auf der Rechnung wurden uns die beiden Getränke nicht abgebucht, einziges Entgegenkommen.
