We had the great pleasure of dining at the Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We would especially like to highlight Maître / Restaurant Manager Oliver, whose warm and highly professional manner, combined with an exceptional sensitivity to guests’ needs, truly elevated the entire evening. The service overall was flawless—attentive, welcoming, and delivered with impressive precision. A special mention goes to Sommelier Hans Martin, whose expertise and passion for wine were remarkable. His wine pairing was masterfully curated, thoughtfully explained, and perfectly aligned with each course. Every recommendation enhanced the menu beautifully and added an additional layer of depth to the dining experience. The cuisine under was nothing short of extraordinary. The dishes reflect outstanding craftsmanship, creativity, and a refined sense of flavor. Each course was meticulously composed, showcasing a harmonious balance of textures, aromas, and modern culinary technique. Unique culinary vision is clearly expressed on every plate—elegant, contemporary, and full of character. It was truly a fantastic evening. We will certainly return and can wholeheartedly recommend the Lorenz Adlon Esszimmer.

Unbelievable experience. Incredible food. Well orchestrated perfect service. They do one service at 7 and we were there until almost 11. I enjoyed every second. They time the food and the wine perfectly as the staff delicately moves between tables with precision. Super friendly and welcoming staff as well. Have nothing bad to say about this place. (Excuse the poor photos, I was trying not to completely ruin the ambience by taking photos!)

Incredible meal on New Year’s Eve. All the staff very knowledgeable about the (many!) beautiful unusual wines served with each course. It was all fabulous.

The quality of ingredients was good, but there seems to be a lack of empathy towards the guests' experience, particularly in terms of orchestration of flavours and textures between courses. The location is impeccable, offering a direct view of the Brandenburg Gate. I guess that a significant portion of the price I paid was for the view rather than the food itself, though. Overall, despite the high quality of the food, considering the price and the reputation, I was anticipating a more harmonious dining experience that delights the palate with a cohesive story through its dishes.

Eating 2 persons you are always faster than other tables and we where quite surprised with the long wait on between the servings . We made the staff aware and after that the speed improved but still we would have wanted faster pace .. we had a non alcoholic choice of bevarage which was great to try .. the good was very nice and we where surprised to see a dog at the restaurant.. We tool the largest option 10.course dinner and All services where very nice experience..

We had reserved a table and were offered a nice one. The service was attentive. We ordered the paneer on pineapple, Kadhai paneer, garlic naan and saffron rice. The taste of every dish was very unique. Enjoyed the experience. I would recommend the paneer and pineapple starter.

The food quality is absolutely the headline. The Chole Kulcha was one of the most balanced chole I’ve had in a long time, genuinely comparable to top spots in India too. The Tiffin Chicken was exceptional, with a beautifully judged spice balance. The Butter Chicken was good.. nothing extraordinary, but still among the better options in Berlin & definitely worth trying. Overall, the chicken, masalas, and all other ingredients smelled and tasted premium. Management, however, didn’t match what you’d expect from a restaurant inside a five-star hotel and listed in the Michelin Guide. We arrived on time for our 20:30 reservation and still waited 25-30 minutes to be seated, then another 20-25 minutes between starters and mains. The place felt noticeably understaffed, so much so that even the bar person jumped in to help with the service. And the kulfi was a shock.., easily the hardest I’ve ever had, so badly frozen I had to literally fight for bites, and also felt very synthetic in flavour.. lacking the rich milk taste, instead felt like frozen milk powder which sadly somewhat spoiled the ending of an otherwise beautiful night. It should be softer, or at least served pre-sliced! Big credit though... the host handled the chaos brilliantly and still found us a nice, quieter corner & our server was genuinely warm and good.. clear explanations and friendly service. Bottom line: top-quality Indian food, but the upper management needs to tighten operations and staffing so the overall experience matches the kitchen and service.

Went to several „famous“ restaurants in Berlin (Grill Royal, Borchert etc.) and I Heavily prefer India club. By far the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten in Germany and on paar with some elite Indian restaurants in London.

Really elegant ambience and the food was as very good. Rara mutton and panner Tikka on pineapple were excellent. Wine list is wonderful. However, the service was bad. We sat there with dirty plates on our table for 15min before someone noticed and cleared the table and brought us dessert menu's. The desserts were a miss, compared to the food. The biggest reason I give it 3 stars is that the men's toilet was stinking. You had to hold your nose as you went in there. I thought there was something wrong when I went. But my son went there more than an hour later and he came back holding his nose. No one even noticed, is this the norm? Not something I would expect from any restaurant, let alone a restaurant claiming to be a high end one.

The hostess was very friendly, and we were seated immediately for our 19:30 reservation. The restaurant started getting full around 8:00 PM. The servers remained very polite and friendly throughout the night. The food options we ordered were extremely authentic and delicious; this place has never disappointed us across our multiple visits. We had the Chana Pakora Chaat, Kadai Paneer, Daal Makhani, raita, and the bread basket. The India Gin cocktail was also a smash. However, there were a few disappointing aspects to our experience. First, our table was extremely wobbly. Second, our plates weren't cleared for at least 15 minutes after we finished our starters, until the hostess finally stepped in to help. Consequently, the main course arrived 20 to 25 minutes late. The staff had also forgotten whether we ordered a side dish and had to check back with us to confirm. Finally, the spicy guava cocktail barely tasted of guava, was very watery, and lacked heat—even after we sent it back and asked them to make it spicier. For a Michelin Guide-recommended restaurant, the service fell short compared to some of our other local favorites.

​A fantastic spot to enjoy lunch out on the terrace! The whole atmosphere feels genuinely authentic German. The schnitzel was cooked to perfection, and the apple strudel for dessert was incredibly tasty. Highly recommended if you're looking for great food and a lovely outdoor vibe!

Visited here on 19/01/2026. 10/10 recommend if you wanna try local German dishes and beer. You've got to wait at the door to be seated at first. It was a Monday and thankfully they had free places because I didn't have a reservation. The staff is friendly. Dishes are big and very filling. Place is cozy and nicely decorated. I really liked the vibes. There are variety of tables so you can fit as a big group or a solo traveller.

Service was great and the fastest. 5 minutes after ordering my Schweins Hax it was being served! Schweins Hax the pork was really crispy and juicy. The sauerkraut that I'm normally not the biggest fan was cooked to perfection. To finish the Apfelstrudel was cruncy, warm, as it shoukd be, perfect combination with the cold icecream.

Lovely place, the soup was really good €9. The service is brilliant, very friendly. The place itself has a really German feel, lovely to have a sit down and some drinks after a long morning of lots of walking. Food came out really fast, prices are reasonable and very cosy!

We loved this place so much that we visited it twice during our stay in Berlin! The first time was by chance, but the second was a conscious choice because the food was simply too good to miss. However, the best part was the incredible honesty and helpfulness of the staff. We accidentally left two bags of souvenirs under our table and only realized it after we had already returned to Italy. We contacted them, and they were amazing: they found our bags, kept them safe, and patiently cooperated with us to organize a courier pickup. It’s rare to find such integrity and kindness. If you are looking for great traditional food and a team you can truly trust, this is the place to go. Thank you again!!

China Club, Berlin, Germany. A luxury dining place serving Cantonese-inspired dining in one of Berlin’s most iconic hotel settings. The restaurant leans toward classic upscale Chinese cuisine. The food is good but nothing memorable. Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5/5 Average PPP € 80

We had a birthday celebration at China Club. Everything was impeccably prepared. Staff are extremely friendly and make sure that everyone enjoys their time. Menu was already set, which was better than my last visit. Bar has a nice cosy ambience too.

I was there for an event. Great service and amazing hospitality from the Manager Paolo and his team at the 7th floor rooftop Italian restaurant. Will highly recommend if you get a chance to visit as it’s an exclusive invite only venue.
Kamran Kareem - 2 years ago

The Wasabi prawns tempura are the highlight of the restaurant. Also the fried vanilla ice cream tastes so good! The cocktails are delicious as well. All the menu is Chinese and there is a variety to choose dishes for every taste. Recently, since December 2021, there has opened a brand new Italian restaurant called MEDINIS. it's very beautiful and tastefully decorated. The food must be fantastic! Members only place, unless you're their guest.

You can tell it’s the China Club. Service next level and lovely Chinese dishes with some fusion kitchen on top. It’s an experience.

We've been here a couple of times during our visit, because the food is delicious. The staff are friendly, and there are a few seats and tables either side of the kiosk. If you have a glass bottled drink, they ask you to return it once you've finished. I would recommend this place for a quick snack on a lovely sunny day ☀️😋

Food was good, but price is for tourists given the location. Not worth it if you can go somewhere else in the city.

I did a reservation at 2 PM, and I was expecting to eat some chicken or pasta, but the menu I received was only for snacks. So, I ordered just a Caesar salad, which was OK but not at the level of the price. I ordered still water, and I got mineral water, good thing I had some cold still water in my water bottle. The atmosphere was great because there was good weather and a beautiful view of Brandenburg Tor. Service was very good.
Pablo Morales - 3 months ago

Would have given 5 Stars however my issue is that these types of establishments always cosy up to steteotypes & high society individuals. It seems that once these type of people took there seats I had to signal for service with no attention. Would not come here again for that reason. Shame but I live in the real world. And they expected a tip😔
Thomas Matthew Hodgson - 7 months ago

We had reserved for seven people and were seated at a pleasant table. The food, including soups, starters, main courses and desserts, was good - but nowhere near as great as to reflect the price tags. Wine and drinks were good, too. As for service, there is a fine line between acceptable and good-humoured Berlin cheek, and downright impertinence. This line was crossed on several occasions by our main waiter in charge. So much so, that some family members even assumed “chemical reasons” on his part (which is, of course, pure speculation with little further evidence). Two other waiters, it must be said, did their job impeccably. We hope a fair share of our tip ends up in their pockets. Also, we never had the feeling that the given dress code had any meaning on the terrace in front of our window. Overall, the experience was rather disappointing, especially considering the hefty bill in excess of €100 per person.

Not the best Currywurst, but very very good. And friendly nice staff. Great view. Recommend.
Daniel Seha - 5 months ago

Thank You! - Vegetarians can also enjoy the Curry Wurst experience! (Vegan hotdog also available). You might have a short wait, but not long. Helpful service. Great that vegetarians can have fast food and enjoy this Berlin experience on Unter den Linden. Plenty outdoor space to eat & clean tables, some to stand at, a few seats.

A solid curry place in a city filled with curry places. My order was prepared fresh by a cook who knew what he was doing and took pride in his work. Very reasonably priced considering the location which is perfect for grabbing a snack while hitting the tourist spots or for sitting on a bench while people watching.
Tom Heaney - 3 months ago

Pretty good curry wurst, just keep in mind that it’s slightly more expensive than other similar food spots, due to location. Also a bit crowded and not so many table to relax or sit. Better for take out.
Peter Mattotti - 3 months ago

Lovely Currywurst and Fries with seating outside to enjoy your food, they even sell bier if you wish to relax even more.

Average ice cream, but quite overpriced for what you get. You’re mainly paying for the location rather than the quality. It’s not bad, just nothing special. Overall, not really worth it in my opinion.

The staff was able to accomodate us at the last minute before they closed. We enjoyed the Caffe Latte and the Bueno flavor. I also love the taste of the cone. Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice cold dessert! :)

Food was good. The service was very good and helpful. The chocolate torte cake was not what I was expecting. I was expecting liquid chocolate inside and there was not, it was very warm though.

It was a good choice! Nice family atmosphere, really delicious food - fresh bread, rich and juicy pizza. A lot of options for vegetarians, children. One minute from touristic attractions, but prices not so high. Possible with dogs! We definitely recommend.

If you’re looking for a reliable spot in Berlin with a solid handle on dietary requirements, Mama Trattoria is a great choice. It offers a relaxed atmosphere and a great menu. One of the standout features here is their commitment to accommodating different needs. They offer gluten-free options (available for a supplementary cost), which is a huge plus for anyone navigating a restricted diet without wanting to sacrifice flavor. They were also very helpful with specific allergies. Since the standard pizza sauce contains garlic, they easily offered a Pizza Bianca to ensure everything was safe to eat. It was delicious and much appreciated! The staff at Mama Trattoria are friendly and welcoming. While the service isn't overly formal or intensely attentive, the team is pleasant and creates an easygoing environment for a casual meal. It’s a dependable neighborhood spot where you can enjoy a good meal knowing the kitchen is looking out for your specific requests.
