Spicy, tasty and authentic aren’t words often associated with Indian food in Berlin. Finding a genuinely decent curry in the German capital isn’t easy let alone an exceptional one so after my first meal at Agni in Moabit I walked out with a ‘curry high’ that lasted for days. It is unlikely that I would […]
Piri’s Chicken Burgers – Spicing Up Berlin’s Burger Scene
One of the most common complaints amongst newcomers to Berlin is a lack of spicy food options. With the opening of Piri’s Chicken Burgers on Wiener Strasse in Kreuzberg, chilli-lovers now have one more go to destination to feel the burn. Piri Piri (or Peri Peri) is a spicy sauce, Portuguese in origin, and a […]
Curry Baude – Lecker Currywurst in Berlin Gesundbrunnen
Reina Lehmann has been serving Currywurst to the people of Berlin at Curry Baude, his Bude (kiosk) outside U-Bhf Gesundbrunnen, since 1989. Herr Lehmann prides himself on serving quality food – the sausages and sauces are all homemade with the finest ingredients. Currywurst is €1.50 and available with or without skin (mit oder ohne Darm) […]
District Mot – Saigon Street Food in Berlin
Like everyone else in the city it would seem, I’m always on the lookout for Berlin’s Best Burger so when I saw that the Bao Burger ‘De La Sauce’ from District Mot (or District Một) was the three times winner of the Burgers and Hip Hop event organised by Stil in Berlin, I had to try it. […]
Tommi’s Burger Joint – From Reykjavik to Berlin
Tommi’s Burger Joint, the Icelandic burger chain, opened its first restaurant in Germany at Invalidenstrasse 160, Berlin on 9 May 2014, six months behind schedule. The delays were blamed on German bureaucracy but had the positive effect of building anticipation amongst Berlin burger lovers. Tómas Andrés Tómasson, the 65-year-old founder who gives his name to […]
Trattoria del Corso – Exceptional Italian food outside the Berlin Ring
If you’ve got cravings for incredible Italian food in Berlin and don’t want to break the bank, I’d recommend you check out Trattoria del Corso, a large and popular restaurant on the Hauptstrasse in Friedenau. Where’s Friedenau you ask? Sandwiched between Schöneberg and Steglitz, it may not be a part of Berlin you’re familiar with but […]
Schiller Burger Berlin
I’m certainly not the only one, but since I arrived here I’ve been trying to find Berlin’s Best Burger and, for me, Schiller Burger is one of the best. As they recently opened a third Berlin location, I’m obviously not the only one who thinks so. A common theme runs through the décor at the […]
K’UPS Gemüse Kebap in Prenzlauer Berg
A viable alternative to the long queues at Mustafa’s Gemüse Kebap (and for me the schlep to Kreuzberg), K’UPS Gemüse Kebap has opened on Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg. Legend has it that the Döner Kebap (or Doner Kebab) was invented in Kreuzberg so it’s no surprise that it is one of Berlin’s most popular snacks. Serving a […]
Photos From My Phone – May
Here are my May highlights from Berlin as illustrated by the photos I took with my phone. Some of these photos have appeared in my Twitter feed, on my Facebook page or my Instagram account. Early in May I went back to Burger de Ville and tried the Funky Pommes, which come drizzled in Garlic […]
Big Stuff Smoked BBQ at Markthalle IX Berlin
Big Stuff Smoked BBQ in the Markthalle IX in Kreuzberg should be a Mecca for Berlin meat lovers. The sandwiches are mouth-wateringly spectacular – so tasty in fact, that looking at the pictures while I type this is almost too much to bear. The star of the show at Big Stuff Smoked BBQ is undoubtedly […]
