House of Tandoor Revisited: Brunch Edition

An incoherent brunch offering that tries to satisfy the many but ends up also leaving the few unsatisfied. After our original lukewarm review of House of Tandoor a few months ago, we received something unexpected – an invitation back. This time to test their Sunday brunch offering. Was it the opportunity of a second chance … Read more House of Tandoor Revisited: Brunch Edition

Friedrichshain’s Futura Enters The Frozen Pizza Market

Futura-quality Neapolitan pizzas you can get from the supermarket and cook at home? We had to check them out. Neapolitan-style frozen pizzas you can bake yourself at home? Mildly interesting. Futura-quality frozen pizzas… well, that’s a different thing entirely. That’s what I thought when I saw an ad for Futura’s new range of frozen pizzas … Read more Friedrichshain’s Futura Enters The Frozen Pizza Market

Tiffin: Real, Authentic Indian Food in Berlin. Finally!

Tiffin Berlin Meal 2

It’s the birth of Berlin-Indian food. It’s called Tiffin. Note: I’m pretty late to the table about this one. Already featured by every other half-baked journal and ‘grammer in the city. Some fucking blog we are. So, since Tiffin opened its delivery service, the people of Berlin have a new tradition: lock-down curry nights. It’s … Read more Tiffin: Real, Authentic Indian Food in Berlin. Finally!

Akkawy: A Hummus-Tahini Overload in Friedrichshain

Akkawy Berlin Hummus Featured

Akkawy is quickly becoming Friedrichshain’s favourite hummus place. And it’s not only because of the owner’s emerald eyes. Working mainly with Israelis – as I do in my other life – has its upsides. One is that you’re very quickly introduced to all the best hummus restaurants in the city. Early this year, I was … Read more Akkawy: A Hummus-Tahini Overload in Friedrichshain

Berlinale Review: Funny Face – the Arthouse Joker?

Tupac: A Journey Into South American Unknown

Tupac Berlin Food 6

Tupac offers “South American cuisine with a Peruvian twist”. My knowledge of South American cuisine consists of Argentine steaks with chimichurri, ceviche, pisco sour and caipirinha. Beyond that, I’ve no idea what people eat over there. So, when I heard that Kreuzberg restaurant Tupac was offering a modern take on Latino food as a whole, … Read more Tupac: A Journey Into South American Unknown

Moksa 2.0: Berlin Indian Food Redefined. Again.

Moksa-Berlin-Indian-Restaurant-Goat-Curry-1

Once again, Moksa proves that the search for food perfection is at once both noble and sublimely irrational. If you don’t know Moksa, it’s Zed. And Zed’s search for Indian food perfection. His deconstruction of authentic Indian flavours takes him to extraordinary lengths to create his dishes. If you think there’s a little of Zed … Read more Moksa 2.0: Berlin Indian Food Redefined. Again.

“The happier you are, the more you enjoy häppies – and the happier they make you in return.” häppies is a tiny enclave of joy in Prenzlauer Berg (where else in Berlin could it exist?) that serves up cute, vegan/vegetarian sweet or savoury knödel/bao creations known as “häppies”.
