a lot of options!

You get a menu (in German with English discriptions) and a booklet with pictures of all the dishes to help you make up your mind because they have A LOT of options! Mostly vegan, some vegetarian, but it is all very clear what every dish is.
Outside you sometimes smelled the sewer so now and then a sewer-fume came by (wasn't very nice whilst eating). Despite of that almost everyone sat outside.
The gentleman/waiter was very nice and kind, the woman was very hasty and not so friendly.
Because of the many options and the okay taste and the fact that you get large portions: 3 stars. But when I'm in Berlin again, I rather go for another restaurant than this one again

Pros: many options, pictures of the dishes, menu also in English

Cons: small terrace outside (right next to the sidewalk), sewer smell, unclear if you can pay by pin (we paid with cash)

Nice South Asian food

This place offers a large selection of food from Thailand and South East Asia, made vegan and vegetarian. Most of the menu is vegan and some vegetarian dishes may be made vegan. We shared a large dish of mixed appetisers (faux meat was really great), and then we had a large bowl with rice noodles, topped with tofu, soy meat, courgettes, mushrooms, bamboo sauce and peanuts, and seasoned with a nice, tangy lemongrass sauce. Eating in the veranda is a great way to enjoy this place.

Pros: Mostly vegan, Large portions

Cons: Fried dishes are a bit too oily

Great central restaurant

If you want vegan or vegetarian food in the centre of Berlin then this is the place for you. It has an extensive menu, mostly vegan and what isn’t listed as vegan can be made vegan.

Overly expensive

Pros: Tasty food, Picture book to show the items on menu

Cons: Over-priced, Charged for tap water

Lovely little restaurant

Lovely little place, the staff were very friendly and kind. Very large menu. Almost all things on the menu were vegan and those that weren't could be made vegan on request. I would strongly recommend the spring rolls!

Pros: Very large menu

Cons: A little bit cold (i was there in February)

good portions, nice food but a bit pricy!

We had noodles which were nice but not worth the price! Staff was friendly though and right next to the gates!
Most options are vegan :)

Food is not bad - $2 for a small glass of water

Food wasn’t bad at all but the fact they charge you 1.90€ for a small juice sized glass of mineral water (charged again for each refill) tells me this is a money-making business. No prices on the menu so your bill will be a mystery until the final act.

Pros: Good food

Cons: Price gauging

good food and portions, okay service

Lots to choose from with a picture menu too - tonnes of vegan and gf options, and good that it is in the area it is, which has little else to choose from for dietary requirements.

Atmosphere was okay for such a large place but the service could have certainly been better. The price was a bit steep but it is tourist central.

The food came in large portions and was tasty. They charge for tap water which is a huge no no for me

Pros: good food, location

Cons: charge for tap water, service , expensive

Excellent Asian food if a little pricey

The food here is excellent, although the service can be a hit-and-miss - we went at lunchtime and waited ages for a waitress to take our order; however the food came quickly and was delicious. We've eaten here twice so far and would recommend it. It is a little pricier than other Asian restaurants we've found here in Berlin, but then it is right in the centre of tourist area, just one block from the Brandenburg gate and Berlin Mall.

Pros: Excellent noodle dishes

Cons: A little pricy (all main dishes more than 12 euros

Meh

Something about Asian food places tends to not be satisfying to me, vegan or not. It was definitely good vegan food but I wasn't in love with it. I got the thin "pancake" dish and some other things.

fantastic vegan noodle dishes

Had a great meal here; not expensive for a capital city. We had noodles and veg in a spicy soup, mine with tofu, my daughter had crispy fried noodles. All great. To drink we had a pot of green tea. Best value for money and heart-warming meal had in the city.

Pros: vegan dishes with tofu, lots of veg, value for money

Cons: basic interior design

Nice but overpriced

The restaurant was nice, the food was generally okay. It's just overpriced to what we've got. I think you can have better food in this price.

nice place for lunch

We were happy to find a place for a vegan meal so close to the main attractions. Our lunch hit the spot.

Very Tasty South-Asian Food

Really enjoyed the Thai/Vietnamese food at Samadhi, it was very good quality. There was also a good selection of drinks, including non-alcoholic beer options.

The only downside was that the service, sadly, was very inattentive, though this was possibly just down to language/culture.

Pros: Very tasty food, Many vegan options, Good drink options

Cons: Inattentive service

Great food, slightly costly

Very authentic restaurant with a great variety of Vegan options. Loved the Grandma recipe soup.
The ambience is soothing and a must visit if around the Brandenburger tower.

Pros: Plenty of Vegan options

Cons: Pricey
