Zoo Talia Restaurant in Berlin

Not bad food in itself, but if it's lukewarm, then the cash register isn't busy, it gets cold and you're told you can use the microwave, then the measure is full. There was a lot of dirt stuck between the wooden slats on the beer garden tables. Then when I look down at my food and accidentally look into the cracks, I feel sick. nice quiet seating inside and outside, staff were everywhere, but not where they should be. The clearing conveyor was also completely jammed, which is unsavory.

Food great and tastes good 0.2L Sprite/Fanta/Cola for €3.50 is way too expensive It doesn't work at all!!!👎

Food was excellent for a zoo restaurant. Great selection. Prices in the area are of course slightly higher. Everything fresh. Very friendly staff and clean. Even with a high volume of visitors on Sunday, the toilets were clean.

Pasta Carbonara cold tasteless Can't recommend it to anyone for these prices

We paid over €70 for 4 people. Okay, the zoo is always more expensive but you can expect a certain level of hygiene for the money. Does the health department also check there? I wanted to change my son's diaper and thought I would be hit. I have never experienced anything like this in my entire life. If I had had my cell phone with me I would have taken pictures and reported it straight away. When I opened the door I was met with a smell. A septic tank would have a nicer smell (and I'm really not sensitive). The changing mats were probably light green at one time. Unfortunately, they were covered in urine stains and feces. And we were there at times. It's hard to imagine that thousands of people have changed their babies there. There were things lying around everywhere that I thought were worms or larvae. I don't know, I didn't go in and just saw it from the door. I am deeply shocked. If you wrap there you will come out with at least one mushroom. It's okay that the food isn't 100% warm. It's tough for the price but we're not that petty. However, after I saw the toilets and especially this changing room, I had to think about what the hygiene in the kitchen should be like? And sorry, I will never go there again in my life. This is really inhumane. How you can reconcile that with your conscience is incomprehensible to me. And I would really like there to be regular checks there. That's absolutely not possible. The owner should really ask himself whether he would take his own children or grandchildren in there.

Looks pretty. Food far too expensive and sometimes cold. "The food was put on the plate with love" (service not nice)

Pasta was cold, cooked without salt, slapped onto the plate carelessly and without a friendly word, and let's not even talk about the sauces. A small portion for the price, but I was glad in the end that it wasn't more.

Latte macchiato almost only milk. Cake doesn't deserve the name. You can't cut any narrower. I will avoid this place in the future.

2x fries 🍟 for 9.80 - a steep price for sticky, unseasoned potato strips and then an intrusive tip request on the card terminal. There will be no second attempt.

That lady is stupid and a racist, we are Spanish tourists and she was telling us something in German and we didn't understand what she was saying and she spoke very badly to us from the first moment, making bad gestures at us and laughing at us with her partner, it's a shame that you have staff like that in front of the public.

Loveless, tasteless pasta (Carbonara, Gorgonzola) in canteen quality at a restaurant price. The food was cold and the portion size was appropriate for a child at most. Very unfortunate… Location (inside) nice and spacious….

Paid 39,8€ for two pastas (Napoli and Bolognese) + 2 drinks. It should cost cca 30€ (12,5€ + 10,5€ + 2x 4€). Of course I did not receive the reciept, maybe for the good reason ?

Super relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant, delicious dishes at fair prices, friendly staff.

We just had a drink. The drinks weren't even cold even though we took them out of the fridge and the employee at the checkout was so unfriendly and shouted at us because we wanted to go to an area that was supposedly reserved but there was no sign of it and the barrier wasn't there either, I didn't think it was good and it wasn't much going on. We only had 12 o'clock and hardly any customers in the restaurant so no stress ... but well, people like that ruin your business...

The food is of poor quality and the professionals adhere to the same low standards as what is served in this establishment.

Tasteless food. Food that tastes like hospital food and hostile staff.

The nightmare fries of Berlin! I had to run to the toilet all afternoon afterwards, something was really miserable. The mulled wine was lukewarm and not hot! Terrible and way too expensive!

The pizza was still almost raw. Fruit cup almost fermented. Completely overpriced. Never again

It was delicious, in a great mood and after visiting most of the zoo to come to the warm, quiet atmosphere of the restaurant.

So after the long closure, I expected a lot more. There is mainly pizza and pasta. The pizza is okay, but unfortunately the dough is hardly seasoned. When it comes to pasta, the noodles languish in warm water for a long time, which doesn't make them any better. It had Bolognese sauce, which unfortunately hardly resembled Bolognese. A sober tomato sauce with some meat. If you then want to have fries, you can only get them at the snack bar in front of the "restaurant" so you can wait in line again so that the other dishes have enough time to get cold. Luckily the employees are friendly and polite. And the review in which a “tester” was commissioned can only be a joke. Eating like an Italian restaurant is something completely different. Or the creator simply has no idea. You can also see the typical Italian cooking oil from Greece in the overview shots🤣

Me and my girlfriend had the wort coffee in the zoo Talia snacks. We asked for an iced coffee, we specified is literally black coffee with ice cubes, they charged us 17 euros for both and they tasted terrible. The service from the guy who was there was also really bad. Terrible experience.

The food was very good, the price was good for the portions. It was self condition, but still the service was very friendly. The ambience was very nice because you could sit outside under umbrellas.

Very nice staff and the food is very tasty. Many thanks to the team

12.50 for a mini portion of noodles

Avoid at all costs. Completely overpriced and you are forced to tip. Something like that doesn't work in Germany.

Bad pizza, bad dough, horrible tart dessert, unpleasant cashier, avoid

The design is great and very on theme. It’s incredibly clean with a conveyor belt to put your dirty trays on and has lots of comfortable seating with lovely green views of the trees and water fountain. The staff were helpful and kind greeting you with a nice smile and the food was very tasty with a good portion size.

The environment is spacious and clean, the food is of good quality, and the price is surprisingly affordable. There is a changing table attached and there is a playground outside where adults can take a break, which is very convenient. You don’t need to prepare too much food when you come to the zoo from now on.

The restaurant makes a pretty good impression from the outside. The impression changes when you choose the food and drinks. The pricing is similar to that of a five-star restaurant, but here you get self-service industrial food. At the checkout you will also be asked for a tip. I would have liked to give one, but for what reason. My tip, save yourself the money and bring food and drink with you from home. I'll do the same next time I visit the zoo.

30 degrees in Berlin and no beer is served here. There are only small bottles of Kindl for €4.50

We like the super pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant, the friendliness of the staff and the good food. There are many healthy options, which is somewhat of an exception for the zoo. People are understanding of small children and we feel comfortable here. Thank you very much!

This is my objective assessment of the snack bar, I don't know whether the snack bar to the right of the main entrance belongs to the restaurant "Talia", to the restaurant or whether it is operated separately... 1. Ordering is relatively unproblematic as there is not much choice 2. The tray must be placed on the shelf, a request from the employees is made, but WITHOUT a request saying “put this up here!” 3. At the checkout you are not asked whether you have an annual ticket - I was always asked in the zoo! 4. 9.50 euros for a “Berlin currywurst with fries” - extortionate, in my opinion, for the quality of the products! The fries were "okay", but not outstanding for the price - you have to remember, it's not a "stereo" restaurant/snack bar. The sausage was far too salty, the casing was burnt, about a millimeter thick, so the sausage couldn't be cut properly with a wooden knife - why do you have to cut it yourself? Almost every snack bar in this city offers sliced ​​currywurst - that's standard, just not at the zoo. Ketchup with curry - I didn't taste any of the curry/paprika. Maybe my taste buds are gone too - who knows?! The friendliness also leaves a lot to be desired. Please & thank you are probably foreign words, but the expression on your face doesn't invite you to eat either. If you make a little joke, look “faceless” at the floor or just go about your business - just don’t talk to the customers… I had completely opposite experiences at the zoo, at the little snack bar, at the Himalayas❤️

The pizza is fine but the pasta is terrible. We ordered some carbonara but it has absolutely nothing to do with the real deal.

The taste is not convincing and the prices are obscene. When paying with a card, a 10 percent tip is charged even though you don't want it. The cashiers are very clever. That's not serious.

It's pretty simple: if you don't drain the pasta properly before you add the sauce, then you serve watery pasta. Pretty bold of them to have a neon sign up saying "come lo fa la mamma" and not understand this.

Thawed cheesecake, pasta like in a school cafeteria, NOT fresh fruit (pickled). All this for the price of 30 euros… Shame

Prices very high, inappropriate to the quality. The fries were ok, they were hot. The service was fast and nice.

1 bottle of water of 0,5L: 3,90 €

I was amazed when I first came here - the interior is very nice and cozy, the view outside is amazing including the fontain, and thee was nice jazz playing. Everything for a cost stop over while enjoying the Zoo. They have a choice of snacks and food, and drinks including the hot ones. There are also amenities for the small children including the chairs and bathroom.

The food is ok. Better than canteen. The ambience is very nice, like a 5* hotel lobby. Toilets and tables are super clean, considering there are so many children there. If you need an hour of peace from the zoo, this place is perfect ❤️❤️❤️

A fantastic resting point in the beautiful zoo. Excellent quality and nice atmosphere!

Super nice staff. Delicious food. Clear recommendation.

Watery pasta and steak burned to a dry crisp ... Nice terrace.

Despite bad reviews, we ate here and were pleasantly surprised. The food was good and the staff friendly. The prices are just reasonable for the place. So it is recommended.

Insanely expensive. Cake cost 6 euros. Coffee 3.90 euros. Most expensive cake I've ever had in a self-service restaurant. Never again. Wrong or not awarded at all. It showed 4.50 and 6 euros. It was not clear which cake cost what. Rip-off restaurant. Terrible.

Rarely seen such an unpleasant cashier, I asked her for the receipt because I wanted to check the prices after paying a lot of money. She starts complaining and insulting me in German... even though it's literally her job

Even though we weren't there at rush hour, the restaurant gave a mixed impression. Positives: + great furnishings + lots of children's meals - pasta and pizza are ideal! + additional salad bar for the adults * Very friendly staff at the pasta station Negative: - The arrogance of the checkout staff was unbeatable - no children's portions - no ketchup (various parents were sent outside to the snack bar to get some ketchup) - no labeling on the salad - yes it is located in the zoo but very expensive even for that

The pizza in the restaurant was amazing, highly recommended. Toilet facility was also clean.

Unfortunately, the food was only lukewarm, although it was very tasty. It would be nice if the service understood German a little better.

The carbonara is not carbonara, the pasta is not right, the sauce is definitely made with Shane, the cheese and the ham have a "cheap" taste, the bolognese tastes nothing, the pasta doesn't fit bolognese at all.

Mittagsansturm wird mit nur einer Kasse gearbeitet, die Preise relativ in Ordnung für den Monopol Status aber der Geschmack ist Semi.

Bel ristorante, self service. Se vuoi mangiare la pasta, la pizza o qualche insalata prendi per tuo conto dentro il ristorante e poi paghi in cassa. Invece se vuoi mangiare il panino e le patatine, devi ordinare fuori dal ristorante, ma ti puoi sedere dentro lo stesso

Boiled pasta kept in a drawer then reheated (overcooked) in unsalted water. Don't expect much more from a zoo restaurant, but it was quite expensive on top of an already expensive zoo fee.

Delicious coffee, friendly service, wonderful environment, birds around 🎄

Sehr gut besucht da es draußen regnet. Die Preise sind gehoben. Mit der ganzen Familie (5) Mittagessen ein Hunderter ist weg. Auswahl und Qualität ist ok.

Leider nur mittelgutes Essen zu überteuerten Preisen. Unfreundliche Kassiererin. Schade für so einen tollen Zoo, leider ein Dämpfer.

Wie in den anderen Berichten.... Das Restaurant ist hübsch gestaltet und hat viel Platz. Was das Essen angeht ist es wirklich nicht zu empfehlen. Industriefood. Dann wird man an der Kasse bei Kartenzahlung noch gefragt ob man im Selbstbedienungsrestaurant Trinkgeld geben möchte. Hinsetzen und Kaffee trinken ist ok.

*Ambiente und Ausblick toll. *Wir sind satt geworden.

Einfach nur leckeres Essen in schöner Atmosphäre

Les pizzas sont très mauvaises (et chères). Trop de miel et de sel sur la pizza au chèvre. Pâte pas cuite. Les pâtes ne sont évidemment pas mieux (sorties déjà cuites d'un tiroir tiède, puis rapidement passées à l'eau bouillante). La salade César était correcte. Et la salle est agréable. Pas de bière pression.

Nice restaurant. It is inside the zoo. So only those enter in the zoo to visit with ticket can have their time inside. A wide space. Everything organized. Staff are too cooperative. Foods are good too. They also offer booking for party. So 40-50 people can easily organize their party here. Calm and quiet place. Children can enjoy their time visiting inside the zoo.

Wir haben Pizza (war zur Hälfte schon fertig)für knapp 15€ gegessen. Mit etwas Feta Spinat und Rosmarinhonig. Nudeln Napoli für knapp 13 Euro. Es gab mehre Nudeln, aber es wurde für das Gericht vorgeschrieben (hat meiner Tochter nicht geschmeckt). Mein Partner hatte Nudeln Bolognese gegessen. Nudeln waren vorgegeen. Er würde von der Portion nicht satt und es war nicht so lecker. Getränke überteuert 0,33l 3,50 inklusive Pfand. (Pfand hat man nicht wiederbekommen. Pudding ca. 150g 3,50 pro Glas. Der Salat für 6,90 war das beste was wir heute in diesem Restaurant gegessen haben. In jedem anderen Restaurant kosten Nudeln max. Nur 10 Euro. Preis würde die Menge nicht gerechtfertigt. Kommen nicht noch mal dort essen. Der Mitarbeiter bei den Nudeln hat keine Handschuhe angehabt und hat zwischen durch in die Haare und Nase gefasst.🤮 Wir waren so im 12:30 vor Ort. Mein Partner hat 15 Minuten angestanden, bis er bestellen konnte und musste dann noch mal ca. 6 Minuten wareärten bis er sein essen bekommt. Positive war, Ambiente, Großer Wickeltraum, Stillraum und die Toiletten.

Really nice restaurant with spacious interior. The food was nice too. The only thing was that all the food there was quite pricy.

Sehr gutes Essen (was haben die schlecht Bewertenden nur gegessen ? ) frisch und lecken Preis ok. (Wir hatten Pasta , omelette, Salat, Obsalat und Kuchen)

Die Stände draußen sind eine Frechheit. Brötchen nicht richtig aufgebacken, Bier maximal 0,4l gezapft

Very elegant cafe to have something to eat at the zoo. Abit expensive but not crowded and pleasant.

pizza was lovely. selection of beers was good.

12.90 für pasta ging so von preis her portion war ok. Geschmack war jut.

Während Service und Ambiente ganz OK sind, ist das Essen nicht zu empfehlen. 15€ für eine nicht durch gebackene Salamipizza,10€ für ein paar Gramm Pasta mit Bolognese Sauce oder 6€ für einen teils unfrischen Salat sind ein sehr schlechtes Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnis.

Die Nudeln waren nicht so lecker, wir hatten 3 verschiedene Varianten. Kuchen war da gegen lecker. Preise noch gerade so okay

The food was great. The place is so stylish and modern. But there were some really small kids crying loudly.

Clean and silent place to have a break in a noisy Berlin Zoo.

Das Restaurant ist eine mittlere Katastrophe. Es sieht zwar recht nett gestaltet aus, aber zur üblichen Mittagszeit, wenn alle essen wollen, dauert es unheimlich lange, ehe man entweder Pasta oder Pizza bestellen kann. Eine Bedienung für die Pasta und eine, die sich mit den Pizzen beschäftigt. Hier werden die Pizzen im Automaten mit Laufband gebacken. Zwar sind die verschiedenen Sorten schon vorbereitet, aber jeder Kunde muss bestellen und dann geht es erst aufs Laufband. Es wäre besser, zu absehbaren Stoßzeiten schon Pizzen fertig zu haben - leider ist der Automat zu langsam. Die verschiedenen Schüsseln mit Salaten, Antipasti etc. sind nicht gekennzeichnet, so ist es ein „Glücksspiel“, was der Kunde nehmen will. Bedenkt man, dass hier sehr viele Touristen essen, ist die fehlende Kennzeichnung mehr als nötig! Es gibt 2 Sterne, weil das teure Essen und die teuren Getränke wenigstens schmecken. Dennoch: wer hungrig ist sollte lieber eine andere Möglichkeit finden, als hier im Restaurant - zumal es keine Kinderportionen gibt!!!! Unmöglich!!!

Gepflegter Selbstbedienungsbereich mit freundlichen Mitarbeitern.

Es ist bestimmt für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei, sogar für Veganer, allerdings sind Speisen und Getränke für ein SB-Restaurant nicht ganz billig. Aber ansonsten sehr ordentlich.

Es gibt dort auf der Terrasse genug Plätze, um die angebotenen Speisen (Pizza, Pasta, Salate) und Getränke in Ruhe zu verzehren.

Not that busy inside compared to outside. Lovely salads and filled rolls at 30 euros for 3 with coffee and soft drinks.

Fünf Sterne an den netten Herren hinter der Theke, er war nett, schnell und ordentlich. Portionen sind auch in Ordnung. Nun zu dem negativen Teil unseres Besuches: Die Dame an der Kasse hatte bei dem Gast einen Systemausfall, ok kann vorkommen. Sie telefonierte und der stellvertretende Geschäftsführer kam. 15 Minuten standen wir mit unserem Essen an der Kasse. Es wurde kein einziges Wort mit uns kommuniziert und es wurde erst nach 20 Minuten die andere Kasse auf gemacht, die genau neben an war. Dann wurde die Reihe von hinten abkassiert, als wir sagten, dass wir unser Essen gerne warm gegessen hätten, kam von der Dame nur ein "Is halt so". Wir mussten den vollen Preis für kaltes Essen zahlen, wo der Fehler nicht am Gast lag. Kundenservice geht anders. Eine Entschuldigung wäre das mindeste gewesen.
