Tadshikische Teestube

Came here in a cold winter during the winter last year, this was a quite a unique experience. The tea room is situated in an alley so it was a little secretive to find.

We didn't make a reservation but were seated pretty quickly. The decor here is so cool, lots of red accents, carpets, and elaborate patterns. Seats here are floor seats so you have to criss cross and sit on the mats.

For food, I got tea and it came with raisins to put in the tea, which was interesting because I had never seen anything like it. The biscuits were also pretty yummy, soft and not too sweet.

For entree, I got bliny with salmon filling. It was soft and filling, there was a good amount of salmon.

A very unique experience in Berlin!

This authentic Tajikistan tea house is very unique and charming. From the floor to ceiling, you will feel like you enter into a different side of the world. You have to take off your shoes before entering a tea room. There're many tea selections here. I found one that's very interesting but it serves with some vodka so i had to chose something else. My tea tasted very similar with a black Chinese tea and served with ginger jam to use to sweeten my tea. It wasn't that sweet so they gave you some honey in case you like your tea sweeter. I'm ok with ginger jam but the tea itself was pretty strong so I barely taste any ginger there. I tasted that ginger jam itself and it was delicious! My friend ordered Sencha with mango and citrus and it was really refreshing. This place is really popular so we had to come right when they were opened at 4pm. There were already many ppl waiting and if you don't have reservation, they will tell you how long you have to enjoy your tea before you have to leave. I had no problem with an hour limit. The only down side of this place was the host lady who definitely shown own her face she didn't want to be there to work LOL. Our server was nice. If you are in Berlin, I highly recommend to come here and experience the charming tea service at this tea house.

Cute little tea room is yet another cool place to check out in Berlin!

They have a huge menu of teas and small dishes. I would highly recommend the vegetarian pierogies; they were perfect to share for two people and hearty enough to be worth the price.

The atmosphere is charming and calming. Overall, very relaxing, however, I would recommend leggings or other comfortable clothes as sitting in tight jeans for awhile wasn't the best experience. Reminder: the tea room opens at 4PM.

My brother chose this place for dinner when my BF and I visited Berlin. 5 stars for the decor and atmosphere. They've made it to look just like authentic Tajikistan tea houses. Not that I've ever been to one but when you compare it to the photos you can find in the books they have lying around it is pretty cool. Call ahead to reserve the low tables to get the full experience. Personally I love cultures where you sit on the ground to eat. It's just so comfortable and relaxing and makes it very conducive to leisurely linger around a meal with good conversation.

Let's talk about the food. Quite interesting and slightly different from what I expected. I enjoyed the dumplings my brother ordered as well as the stuffed crepes/pancakes (did they call them blini? I can't remember..) that I had. The pierogis were also yummy but it seems I prefer Russian or Polish style pierogis. These are more like empanadas. As for the tea we were a little disappointed that we couldn't do the full tea service but we did have some tea to finish our meal and this was my first time having vodka along with my tea. Very interesting and very good.

The service is alright though they are in fact getting a star deducted because the lady failed to inform us that if we wanted to order the full tea service we needed to do it a certain amount of time before closing time. Having a cut off time is perfectly reasonable but it's only fair to the customers if they have a proper last call. So sadly we were not able to have the full experience. Still, all in all an excellent experience!

it is a great place, and I cannot give it the full five stars because they do not accept credit or debit cards.
Except from that, a wonderful place for a lazy and cold Sunday afternoon with tea, delightful Russian food and maybe one or two spirits :)

A completely unique and unexpectedly amazing experience... we were hesitant to come because it was freezing cold outside, and this place isn't exactly easy to find. But I'm so glad we did!

You walk in and feel transported to another world full of intimacy and culture. Leave your shoes and jackets at the front and get comfortable on the pillows. We ordered a tea set that came with the tea, shot of alcohol (I got Irish cream), and ladyfingers.

Be sure to make reservations in advance. We emailed them in English, and they easily accommodated us. Also, this place is hidden in a plaza square. You need to go through an arch and you'll find the cafe on the left.

If you enjoy discovering new places and like to drink tea then you definitely need to come to this place! It has great tea Sortiments and a friendly staff. The atmosphere is very unique (for example, you need to take off your shoes before you go inside)

Overhyped, overcrowded and understaffed, but yet good tea. Upon entering we found out immediately that this place has probably been featured in numerous guides and lists, because the place was totally packed at an early hour.

There was only one waitress serving to about 50-60 people, so obviously that was a disaster. Unfortunately she was also like a robot, with no empathy or social skills - just repeating the exact same words to everyone. Confusion also came from the fact that she asked to remove shoes, but we were actually seated at a "normal table" not the floor seating side, and the floor was an ice cold stone floor - fortunately I was able to retrieve my shoes back.

Food was served before the tea, which is very strange, as one would expect tea to arrive first, and it's not really possible to start eating before you have your tea in front of you. I noticed confusion and disappointment about the same issue from the couple sitting next to us who had to wait quite a while with their food in front of them before the tea arrived.

As for the tea, we had the Russian tea ceremony set, and the Russian black tea was excellent - as good as I've had in many authentic Russian places, so no complaints there. One star from this review comes from the excellent tea. We also loved the fact that the Russian tea set came with a shot of Vodka, even though it was just a tiny one (2cl) and not of the best quality. It nevertheless gave a nice touch to the overall set.

The food on the other hand was nothing to write home about. The pierogi that we had were decent, but completely mediocre, the cookies that came with the Russian tea ceremony were also mostly bland and served more as eye candy than eating delight. The couple next to us also didn't seem too impressed with the taste of their Vareniki dumplings and pilov - from the language they spoke we came to the conclusion that these people were Russian so were probably comparing the tastes to the originals from their homeland.

The deco of the place is fantastic and definitely creates a strong mood. If it just weren't so over popular and the service so substandard, the place could have a really strong atmosphere and it would be a lovely place to spend time in. Currently however it is a mediocre experience at best.

One star for the tea, one star for the deco, and half star each for food and the nice touch of adding vodka to the tea set.

I came here especially to eat plov - middle eastern dish. I ordered borscht - beet soup and plov.

Borscht came in tiny bowl (too tiny for 5eu) but it was tasty. Beets was fresh and sweet.

When it came to the plov i was totally disappointed. Rice was overcooked, almoat to a condition of the porridge, lost all it's texture. Also, i've found champignons inside the dish, totally out of the recipe and completely unnecessary. Plov was unevenly warmed up in microwave, some parts was cold, some was overwarmed. It's not something freshly cooked in kazan 100%. It was looking like yesterday's leftover pre-made in steamer. It's not a plov!

I came here after dinner to have an evening tea. The tea room is only open from 1600-2300. I came at 2120 and they were already closed. The waitress said they were closed and there was one individual left in the restaurant. I double checked the door and it stated they were open until 2309. This isn't how I would recommend to run a business.
