KERB FOOD HALL / Sony Center @Potsdamer Platz
Berlin has a new food hall! Not sure it needed one, but London has one!! So now we have one, too
Based on its British example, a two-story open space offers a decent variety of foods from popular Berlin eateries (like Kimchi Princess) or food trucks.
Our buddy opted for a Kassler Rippchen sammich: that would be a pulled smoked pork chop, cucumber-apple-mustard-chutney with mâche on a house-baked rye bread roll.
He absolutely loved it.
We were interested in Moksa, an Indian stand offering Rotza, i.e. a lovechild of a roti and a pizza. If you don’t know German, the name isn’t as glaringly off-putting
The keema lamb in particular looked delightful, but they didn’t have it that day The tandoori chicken version didn’t appeal to us, so we made the big mistake of getting tacos at El Amigo Taqueria — birria tacos, to be exact. The beef was alright, but no dipping broth? When I asked about it I was told that “we don’t serve that here.”
Hokay, then.
There’s also the stupidly named Pick & Cheese, which consists of a circle bar with a conveyor belt familiar from sushi places, but here we have pieces of cheese rotating under their glass domes
In any event, we were sufficiently fortified to start our city/history walking tour, but it’s unlikely we’ll go back.
