    I really liked this place a lot at first, but I think it was because I only went for a cocktail and that's it. I've been at least 4 more times and it's been a disaster. They reluctantly serve the interior rooms (my experience is in the smoking room), but worst of all: I asked for a sweet dish and the fruit tasted like onions and various dressings because obviously they don't even clean the knife or refrigerate the fruit with the condiments. Anyway, I'm already clear that I won't go anymore and lost money.

    Carambar is by far the most aesthetic and inviting restaurant that is in Alexanderplatz. There are lots of seats, with many being outside - these feel very romantic and warm! This restaurant had very nice food (I had a vegetarian hot dog) with plenty of beverage choices. The service here was really great. I had a pleasant conversation with one of the waiters who told us about their experiences of being a student in Berlin. They were very polite and kind.

    The staff were attentive and kind, the drinks were good too however the food was very bad. 3 different dishes came out within 10 minutes of ordering. How do you even grill chicken this fast…

    The place looks very clean and nice and you can eat outside as well as inside. The food takes a bit long to get ready even if the place isn’t very busy. The first time I ate here I had a burger that was pretty decent I would rate it a 3/5. And the waiter was very nice and respectful. The second time I ate here Me and my friends we all had steak. The waiter at first forgot about our drinks and it took them like 30 minutes to bring us a coke and then when we finally got the steak after 50 minutes, one of my friend’s steak was pretty much blue raw. The waiter then proceeded to argue with my friend telling him that that’s how you are supposed to eat the steak and after about 2 minutes of talking the waiter finally agreed to put the steak on the grill for a little more. The food looks very good but it lacks in taste. Also the prices are decent I would say medium to high prices. To sum up everything, the waiters could be a lot nicer, the food was mediocre at best, the food takes a very long time to get to your table but the place looks very nice and is also very clean.

    Waited for half an hour just to get service. Waiters are so unfriendly! The utensils were dirty, so I ask the waiter for a new one. So he took it and pretended to brought in the kitchen and change it with a new but all he did was wipe it. Definitely not worth going back to.

    We came this evening with my friend, the staff was efficient, the food was good but the waiter forced us to give him some tips, by saying that we have to pay 10% more than the note, because it is like this in Germany. He also taped more in the card machine without asking and when we asked why, he said that it is for the kitchen service etc. We both are waitress as well, so eventually we were going to give some tips, but here it's called stealing from the customers. And we asked our neighbors, they said it wasn't normal in Germany to do that.

    The only good thing was that it was open on a monday... We went for cocktails, which were terrible, the dj would change the song every 30 seconds and maybe you could be listening to j balvin and then he would put the star wars theme song (???) The staff was rude and slow, for two cocktails 20 min wait... On top of all they wanted to charge me a pack of cigarettes that wasnt mine, they discounted it but i think the waiter didnt know how to subtract cause he charged me 4€ more ???? NEVER NEVER NEVER COMING BACK

    Wir waren begeistert von dem Kellner, hatten 1 Vorspeise, 2 Hauptgerichte und 2 Getränke bestellt, aber mit einigen Änderungen und er hatte nichts aufgeschrieben. Hatten schon gedacht, dass wir bestimmt nichts richtig bekommen, aber er hat uns total überrascht, alles hat gestimmt! Großen Respekt an ihn! Die Tex-Mex-Platte war sehr lecker, die Hauptspeisen auch, nur die Getränke enthielten etwas wenig Alkohol. Die Location war echt schön und besonders. Ab ungefähr 22 Uhr wurden die Lichter gedimmt und eine Club-Atmosphäre geschaffen.

    I recently visited a pizza and burger restaurant, and I wanted to share my feedback. Overall, it was an average dining experience. The pizzas and burgers were decent, but they didn't particularly stand out in terms of taste or quality. The menu had the usual variety of toppings and options, but nothing extraordinary. The atmosphere was comfortable, but it didn't have any unique or memorable elements. While it wasn't a remarkable experience, it provided a satisfactory meal without any major flaws.

    Not recommended… ordered fries and i it takes one and a half hour and i end up canceling it !! After finishing my 2 glasses of wine and one cocktail and also reminded them 3 times about the fries 🍟 !!!! But i was happy not to pay any tip because they didn’t deserved it 😜

    Staff were friendly and attentive. They are quick due to the high turn over of tourists. The food was ok. Price was reasonable too. No WiFi. The screen on the wall which has animated images of food off the menu is annoying. The chicken on my nachos was very dry. Overall still a good place to go due to the large amount of options on the menu.

    I would rate this 1 star but I feel 1 star reviews are biased on a bad experience. I give this 2 stars as the location is great and so is the potential. Unfortunitely its a big let down. Service: Very very slow. We sat at 21:00 and didn't get to order until 21:30. Drinks arrived about 15 minutes after that. And food arrived 45 minutes after the drinks. When I asked for the bill I waited until I couldn't anymore and just showed up at the register hoping to catch some attention. Drinks: They have no alcohol. They advertise a very impressive Drinks menu including cocktails and beers but qhen we ordered them we where told they where not aloud to serve alcohol because of a license issue. No prior warning or notification on the website or in the restaurant. 2 cokes please... Food: Lack luster. I ordered spicy beef pasta and my partner ordered a mac & cheese pizza. The pasta with the sauce was tasty but under cooked and raw. The spicy beef wasn't spicy and very bland. The mac n cheese pizza had almost no mac n cheese and the bacon was also rushed. It was on the raw side to say the least. Chips we ordered were the nicest part of the meal. All dishes left unfinished. All in all I would avoid this place if you are looking for somewhere nice to eat, with service and an atmosphere.

    Another delightful place, with efficient and friendly staff combined with great service. The food was generous in its portion size, freshly prepared and tasted great. The pricing was quite reasonable as well. Recommended.

    An international style restaurant with a wide menu to choose from. We picked this place due to location purposes, but turned out to be a decent night out. The food is simple & good. Expected slightly better in terms of food presentation (drinks are fantastic), however can't really complain much and it is just a personal opinion. The staff were friendly & helpful. We had Grilled rump & Peppered pork, a glass of white wine, and a cocktail.

    They have a cozy outdoor seating but it can get little disturbing with the birds and the noise, vibrations from the train. But the food was ok they also have really good interior with a bar

  • 4/5 deepak s. 9 months ago on Google • 81 reviews
    Nice place with good food and drinks. We loved "sports man", the drink in red. Alexander (white colour one) was not that great to my taste. Portion size was ok to the cost and taste was good. Though the service and attitude of staff was nice to us, they were loud among themselves at times.

    Went here for dinner on a friday night. Didn't have a reservation but luckily there was a table available. Service was very good, food came very fast. Prices were (compared to what I am used to at home) cheap for the steak. Paid under 50 euros for 2 people. Food was delicious, would definetly recommend. Toilet isn't free though.

    "Recently visited and it's a gem! This nice spot doubles as a restaurant and bar, offering great service and delicious food, with not a single complaint from me. The vibe shifts as the night progresses, turning into a lively nightclub with fantastic music. Definitely a must-visit for a full evening of dining and entertainment.

    Ich war Weihnachten mit meiner Tochter dort. Wir haben tatsächlich ohne Vorbestellung einen Tisch bekommen. Das Essen war lecker und die Preise absolut in Ordnung. Für eine 32er Pizza 12,50. Für einen großen Teller lecker Cannelloni glaube ich 14,50. Wir waren in der Happy hour da und da kosten zB. Lecker coctails nur 6,50 Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Da würde der Herr vom Service auch mit einem tollen Trinkgeld belohnt. Danke

    Food at this place was absolutely brilliant. Mostly good/fair value some dishes over priced. Nice modern comfy surroundings. Most of the staff could do better with English considering it is probably the most widely spoken language given the location and clientele. We ate more than once which is always a good sign.

    Super leckere Getränke, Auswahl ist echt groß und Kellner*innen sind sehr nett. Besonderes Lob an Jasmin! Sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit 😊

  • 2/5 Merle B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place did not live up to my expectations. Overall, food was great. Delicious and well made. It didn't take a long time to arrive, and behalf of my whole table, I can safely say that we were grateful for that. However, staff was extremely rude. The man who took our order was delightful. It was clear he knew what he was doing. Anyhow, the woman who delivered the food was extremely rude. She had first put a salad down, and once she arrived with my steak, she tells me, and I quote, "Move the salad." No please or thank you. Absolutely unacceptable. I dropped my bag under the table, and she was more worried about if I would scratch the floor than if I was okay. For such a fancy place, I would expect it to have some better staff. I was very disappointed.

  • 5/5 Hyanara O. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good food and friendly service. There are a lot of options to eat, including for vegans. We order Nachos with meat and cheese and after Ribs (came with salad, bread, sweet potatos fries and 4 different sauces). For drink just a soda (they don't have alcohol drinks). The price was around 45 euros and we think this is ok for two people. We recommend this place for sure.

    A really good restaurant in a great location. Jeet was so nice and friendly. We will repeat for sure

  • 3/5 Paidamoyo M. 9 months ago on Google
    A lot of seats downstairs and very quick service. Food came pretty quick and large portions. Food tastes good and mocktails have very large glasses. I do have to say when we were paying the waiter kept pointing at the “tip not included” written on the receipt kinda guilt tripping us into tipping. I should have to feel forced to tip someone.

  • 3/5 Matthew H. 10 months ago on Google
    There is a great selection of tasty traditional German food on offer here. Unfortunately the service was a bit disappointing with the server continuously getting orders wrong for our table as well as several other tables seated nearby.

    Kurdo it was the amazing waiter ever. The food and the drinks were the best. I had the best birthday ever in my life. We got the good shots.

    We are visiting from the United States and felt very welcome here. The food was absolutely delicious, and the menu had an incredible variety to choose from. Our server was very efficient and friendly. We will definitely be coming back again 😊

    We walked around the center of Berlin and decided to go to this place to order food and eat at home. Everything was prepared for us and immediately served in containers. When we opened the containers at home, we found that instead of the ordered nachos, they put us another dish (which we do not eat). We immediately contacted support, but a week passed, and they didn’t answer anything about this situation. Very disappointed.

    Wir waren 5 Tage mit der Familie in Berlin. Unser erster Besuch in der Carambar hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir gleich noch ein 2. Mal hier essen waren. Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist super und der Service sehr zuvorkommend! Klare Empfehlung!!!
