Piccalilly - Berlin

We just casually stopped by one day to chill a little in their outside area.The overall impression of this place was pretty average. The service was friendly but sometimes must have forgotten about us.The Latte Macchiato I had actually was pretty good, I have to admit that. My two friends ordered their Chicken Curry and they seemed satisfied so this is a place where you can spend some time but to be brutally honest: This area has so many better places to offer...

We were walking and found this place and decided to try it. The food was fantastic. We had three different dishes and rice. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. We dined outside and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

We ordered the chicken vindaloo (very bright red and really tomatoey, you could tell that there was extra coloring added) and the palak paneer (a bit watery but ok and not enough paneer). We also got two rotis which we are familiar with, when the "rotis" arrived we laughed: they were mexican tortillas quickly fried in oil. We felt like the owners think the customers don't know anything about real food and can serve them whatever. The only plus point was that it was only 22 euros with two beers for two people. However, for this price, you can eat better in Berlin.

Auch dieses indische "Restaurant" habe ich schon ausprobiert. Das Essen hat beim besten Willen nichts mit leckerer indischer Küche zu tun. Wir hatten Chicken-Korma und Curry. In beiden gerichten hat man vergebens Fleisch gesucht - ok 2-3 Stückchen waren drin. Klar für den günstigen Preis kan man auch nicht viel mehr erwarten. Die Höhe war aber die "Tagessuppe" die offensichtlich nur die Soße vom Curry mit etwas Wasser gestreckt war. Dazu ist dieses Lokal sehr klein und nach dem Besuch reicht man definitiv nur noch dem was man gegessen hat. Für uns es hier leider nichts, es gibt bei weitem besser Lokale im Kiez.

From the outside this looks like another good pub/cafe in Berlin, however we had a spontaneous dinner here after smelling other people's food over drinks and were blown away! They describe themselves as 'angloindian' food, and we had a delicious selection of lamb curry, chicken and mushroom curry and spinach and potato curry with fluffy pilau rice. The standard was way above many of the currys we've had in the past and had to stop ourselves going back for more the next night! The drinks were also well priced and good quality, and it was full of local Berliners out for dinner on a Monday night, which gave a good atmosphere and a definate highlight of our trip.
