Indian restaurants
As an Indian, I have been disappointed more than once by restaurants in Berlin which claim to serve Indian food. However, the below are the list of restaurants that will serve authentic Indian food.
Tandoori Nights Berlin
@manish
Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Berlin. Recommendations: Paneer Kadhai, Dal makhani, Garlic naan.
And for Non-vegetarians their Dum biryani is best you will get in Germany.
Details
Saravanaa Bhavan Berlin
@manish
Chettinad spicy cheese masala dosa is my favourite. But all their dosas and uttapams are great. Tip, do order that filter coffee for the authentic South Indian food vibe.

Vegetarian only restaurant. Almost all dishes are great. Street food options are great as well.

Details
Chelany-Mitte Restaurant
@manish
I am a frequent visitor at this place, and I go just to eat their Chhole bhature. Other than that Samosa chat is great too. If you can take spicy food, try bullet naan (it has raw green chillies, so be aware of that).
Their lamb rogan josh is great too and my friend enjoy that a lot.
