"We are from Portugal, and we can honestly say that we have never eaten such incredible food in our lives. The dishes were absolutely outstanding, full of flavour and prepared with great care. The service was equally impressive the ladies and gentlemen working there were extremely kind, attentive, and welcoming. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and pleasant, making the whole experience even better. We actually found this restaurant by chance while exploring Charlottenburg, and we are so glad we did. It was the perfect place to end our trip to Berlin. The restaurant is located about a 10–15 minute walk from Charlottenburg Station, making it easy to reach. Highly recommended!"

"This is a great place for German cuisine. I had the Sweinshaxe mit sauerkraut und saltzkatoffle and it was great! Way too much food for one person, but that is not a complaint. 600-700g of meat and then the sides on top of that. Absolutely delicious and I wish my stomach could have held more! Great atmosphere with great music from the ages. Despite the payment terminal not working, due to another customer dropping it earlier in the day, we figured it out with a bank transfer. Thanks so much to Alex and his mother and cook who all did a great job. Keep up the good work! I'd recommend this place to anyone. And I am not even one for writing Google reviews!"

"This charming German restaurant offers an authentic culinary experience with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The menu features classic dishes such as schnitzel, all prepared with evident care and traditional flavors. What truly sets this place apart, however, is its impressive selection of gluten-free options. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, especially regarding gluten-free needs. The team is happy to answer questions and provide recommendations, creating a comfortable dining experience for everyone. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality of the ingredients is consistently high."

"You do not come here for the fancy atmosphere, nor do you come here for fine dining, nor the wide menu so everyone in the family can try something different. However... if you want authentic German cuisine and one of the things that we love and always try different versions of and always HAVE to get whenever we are in Germany for dinner - then you also should try and come here to get a (Wiener) Schnitzel!! Here you get good food, great taste and lastly but not least you get good service from these nice people!"

"The most amazing Schnitzel I've eaten so far. Such a jem of a place. The staff is so, so nice and patient, even though they are overbooked. The food is fresh, amazing, tasty ans fills you with warmth and cozyness. The photo speaks for itself. Atmosphere is very lively, how can it not be with everyone smiling, laughing and being kind. Would recommend to anyone passing by, and even making the trip just for the food."
