Very nice decor and vibe

Very nice decor and vibe. Classy but not too fancy. Would be fun for a date or with a group of friends. Staff very friendly and kind. Food tasted fresh and was delicious. The cocktails were very well prepared! Seems like a family run place. They put a lot of effort into making a cool restaurant. It’s hard to find good Indian food sometimes so it was great to find this place.

We will definitely return to Swadesh!

The food was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. Every dish I tried was perfectly cooked and seasoned, making it a truly enjoyable meal.
What stood out to me was the reasonable pricing. It’s rare to find such high-quality food at such affordable prices. The taste of the food was exceptional, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best dining experiences I’ve had at Berlin in my 7 days trip.

The food was a delightful representation of authentic Indian flavors

This wasn’t my first visit to Berlin, but it was my last chance to explore Indian cuisine here, and Swadesh Indisches Restaurant exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere was perfect—inviting and warm.

Special mention to Karan, a handsome and attentive server who made my experience exceptional from start to finish. His friendly and respectful service stood out.

The food was a delightful representation of authentic Indian flavors, expertly prepared. Swadesh has restored my faith in Indian cuisine in Berlin. I promise to visit again and highly recommend it.
