Domke Niko Berlin
German Food That Locals Approve
With inflation on the rise, the days of "poor but sexy" Berlin are sadly coming to an end. But luckily for those of us who live here, there are still a few places where filling your stomach doesn't mean emptying your wallet. One such place is Domke Niko, located in the middle of the busy Warschauer Straße. This is the spot to visit if you want to try homemade traditional German food at friendly prices.
You might be confused when you find yourself at the door only to realize it's actually a butcher shop, but don’t worry — it’s no mistake. It is indeed a butcher, but they also serve food that you can either take away or enjoy at one of the few tables inside or on the small terrace outside (weather permitting).
The place is always packed with locals, which attests to the authenticity of the food. On the menu, you'll find all the German classics you’d expect, such as schnitzels, homemade sausages, pork knuckle, and goulash - this last one being a particular hit.
Vegetarians, don't despair! If you can look past the meat-filled surroundings, there’s a tasty vegetable stew on the menu, as well as potato salad and the best sauerkraut I’ve ever had.
The service is always warm and friendly, and the huge portions are completely disproportionate to their prices. Whenever I have people visiting me in Berlin, I always bring them here to try typical German food, and it never disappoints.
