The German pork knuckle and curry sausage platter recommended by the staff member FaFi were both delicious! The pork knuckle had crispy skin and was full of gelatin on the inside! The meat remained tender and juicy! The sausages were also very tasty, with a rich curry flavor! FaFi was also very friendly! If you're visiting Berlin, I highly recommend dining here!

Lovely restaurant that offers tourist a taste of old fashioned German food. There are plenty of seats available and the service is good. Food is appropriately priced (more expensive) for such a central location and is tasty but not outstanding.

Very good experience at this location! From the moment we arrived when we were warmly welcomed until we left. I highly recommend it as food is great and the service is as great! We had Mr Ihren serving us and he was outstanding! Very attentive and kept an eye on us to see if anything was missing. Thank you again! It was a pleasure being here!

We went for dinner. We ordered chicken pasta with creamy mushroom sauce, steak and half chicken. All were delicious. And apple strudel was delicious. It was hot and The presentation was very nice. Service was good but a bit slow. Still faster than many restaurants. Reservations are a must. Prices are a bit high but when you consider the ambiance , it's normal. I also took pictures of the menu for current prices.

A good German restaurant with many traditional dishes. Located right under the S-Bahn, it is very convenient. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are many tourists, so you have to be patient, but it is worth the wait. Good beer, food, and delicious desserts. Prices are fair considering the location.

How come no one told me about this restaurant before and it's not viral on social media? It's simply DELICIOUS! Definitely the best food in Berlin! Beautiful restaurant, clean bathroom, tasty food, and friendly waiters... I stayed in Berlin for 3 days and went there twice, and I regret not going more often. I truly recommend it!"
