Delicious authentic Indian food - Edit
I've been to India, loved the food and so I'm very happy when I find a place that gets the tastes of India right. Like Saytam.
Read moreGreat, authentic, food covering all the "usual suspects".
Friendly, if somewhat relaxed, staff, good location.
Great place for Indian food lovers.
Pros: Most Indian food is plant based, so mostly vegan, Tasty and authentic (i.e. spicy & Curry), Great location, easily reachable
Cons: Staff is super-friendly but TOO relaxed, Not expansive but not thrift either

happy to find - Edit
After a very full day walking and sightseeing in Berlin as starving vegans we were desperate to find food. We actually searched for Vaust only to discover when we finally found it it was closed for renovations. Feeling defeated we happened upon Satyam on our way back to the hotel and had a very satisfying meal.

Good and cheap - Edit
We went with friends on Sunday and all had the all-you-can-eat buffet. Almost everything was vegan. 10 Euros per person, 3.50 for kids. Great.

The Masala Dosa is amazing - Edit
We come here pretty much every time we visit Berlin and I always order the Masala Dosa which is amazing (though this time unfortunately the chef had left the chillies in the filling so when I took my first bite, my mouth was numb for the rest of the meal). Besides that though, from our experience the food here is great.

Pure Enttäuschung - Edit
Wir waren Silvester in Berlin und haben nach einem veganen Restaurant gesucht. Da uns die indische Küche gefällt, sind wir auf das Satyam gestoßen. Anschließend bewerten wir das Restaurant nach den Kriterien Ambiente, Essen, Service und Preis/Leistung.
Read moreAmbiente:
Der Platz zwischen den Tischen war leider viel zu klein. Zum Einen musste man sich mit dem hinteren Sitznachbarn um den Platz für die Stühle fast streiten. Oder man hat versucht, einfach auf seinen Stuhl zu klettern. Zum Anderen hatten wir das Gefühl, dass unsere Sitznachbarn jedes unserer Wörter mithören konnten.
Außerdem hatte man eher das Gefühl, dass man in einem Wohnzimmer sitzen würde, in das gerade Tische gestellt wurden, um den Zweck einer Bewirtung zu erfüllen.
Die Dekoration an den Wänden war auch leider sehr lieblos aufgehängt. Zum Beispiel gab es kaum ein Bild, das gerade an der Wand hing.
Das Ambiente hat uns leider so wenig überzeugt, dass wir nach dem Essen unsere nächsten Biere in einer nahegelegenen Bar getrunken haben.
Essen:
Zu Silvester gab es ein veganes Buffet, bestehend aus einer Vorspeise, vier Hauptgängen und zwei Nachspeisen. Die Auswahl war ganz gut und typisch indisch. Die Vorspeise, bestehend aus Ingwer-Orangen-Suppe hat gut geschmeckt. Uns war die eine Hauptspeise zu scharf, während eine andere fast geschmacklos war. Der Nachtisch war wiederum ganz gut.
Service: Für uns gibt es leider nur ein Wort für den Service: Schlecht!
Die Bedienungen am Anfang waren ja ganz nett und freundlich, nur wars das auch für den Rest des Abends, was wir von Ihnen gesehen haben, bis die Rechnung kam. Die Teller wurden nicht abgeräumt, die Getränke wurden nicht aufgefüllt und generell war nicht einmal jemand bei uns am Tisch um obligatorisch zu fragen, ob alles 'in Ordnung' sei.
Preis/Leistung
Der Preis von 12,50€ ist für ein Buffet unschlagbar. Nur hat uns das Essen nicht gut genug geschmeckt, um diesen Preis rechtzufertigen.
Insgesamt war es leider ein enttäuschender Abend! Wir können natürlich nicht sagen, wie es an einem regulärem Abend á la Carte geschmeckt hätte. Das was uns dort aber geboten wurde, ist gerade so einen Stern wert! Die App gibt uns leider vor, dass wir 2 Sterne vergeben müssen!
Pros: Preis
Cons: Der Rest

South Indian dishes - Edit
Huge menue of different Indian dishes sorted by region. Many extraordinary dishes from South India and exotic fruits (e.g. jack fruit). Very spicy for good price. Not located very central.

Best Indian food in Berlin - Edit
I love this place! The food tastes fantastic, the staff is very friendly. There are many vegan dishes and almost any vegetarian dish can be veganised. I recommend the Sambhar soup. The Sunday brunch buffet is fully vegan, sometimes one of the two offered deserts is non vegan.

tasty, spicy and healty: the sunday's buffet - Edit
A very nice selection of currys, salades, soup and bread. Mostly vegan and just a little spicy. Veggies and mango curry, lentils, tofu in a creamy sauce and potatoes with curry leaves so delicious. Chutneys. Tipically the tastes and colors of south india. Ayurvedic herbal tea. Feeling full and happy for 9,50 euros plus beverages.

Ehhh… adequate - Edit
We visited Satyam one evening in Autumn 2015. We found it to be very average. The food, the price, the service, the range – all were okay, but not great. We had no complaints, but haven't been lusting to go back since.

It was okay - Edit
I went here in the early afternoon(around 2pm), so it wasn't so busy and service was quick. I love okra and order it every chance I can. The okra here was ok, though it wasn't in a tomato curry sauce as indicated, and was in a gravy type sauce with dark chickpeas, which was good, just not expected. It also was not spicy at all, but I also didn't ask before ordering. I would go back to try the thali or Sunday buffet. The menu is quite extensive. The only thing I would question is the labelling of vegan items, because I saw a paneer dish labeled as vegan. You can also choose the have organic brown rice for an extra 80 cents.
Read morePros: lots of choices on the menu, Sunday buffet
Cons: not very spicy

long wait, cold chai, good food - Edit
My husband and I went to Satyam last Friday at 8pm. The Chai I had was completely cold. We had to wait 40 minutes until we received our dinner (it was just 1 meal, nothing special). It tasted OK, but we didn't feel like visiting Satyam again after this first "hungry experience"

As you can see at my profile, i travel a lot and have been tasting numerous restaurants all over the world. And this one, i do definitely say that it's one of the most delicious tasting ones i've ever been to!
Read moreI was there on a sunday and due to that fact i had the buffet. All, and yes without exaggeration all of the dishes tasted amazing, absolutely yummy! There were such healthy things on the table. And i also had a medicinal herbs water from Kerala which was very tasty! Plus; super friendly staff!

Waaah.. - Edit
I really love Indian food but it tends sometimes not to be that fresh, and a bit heavy as well. But we went to Satyam with my boyfriend who doesn't like indian food, and he was pretty amazed. The buffet (we went to the brunch on saturday) was gorgeous, there was a few things, like pickled things, that I really didn't like, but overall, what a nice experience! Currys, rice, soups, coconut Flan... I would defo recommend this place. People are nice too! I went there a second time for dinner and it was as good as the first time!

Great Sunday Buffet - Edit
We checked out the vegan Sunday Buffet on 10.08.14 and were absolutely satisfied! Officially it´s vegetarian and vegan-friendly, but in fact everything on this buffet was vegan exept one dessert and on joghurt-sauce. The assortment was sufficient and the food was good!
Read moreThe only thing that disappointed us is that the shakes and lassis aren´t available in a vegan format.
We can´t say anything about the menu.
Pros: a lot of vegan dishes (buffet), sufficient assortment (buffet), location
Cons: no vegan shakes/lassis, stressed service

Worst welcome ever - Cynophobia? - Edit
I and my friend wanted to eat at Satyam but unfortunately we couldn't... In a few words, we just sat on the terrace and the waitress came straight away to bring us the menu... So far so good until our dog tried to jump on her, wanted to say hello to her... and she was totally afraid of him (ok we can understand that) but one minute after, her boss came on the terrace and was very angry and rude, saying that our dog should be silent and should not try to jump again on her colleague... Anyway, reactions were totally disproportioned and absurd when we keep in mind that our dog just wanted to say hello to her... So we had no choice apart from going elsewhere... What a shame!

best Indian restaurant - Edit
I've been to many Indian restaurants in Europe and this one was by far the best. Very extensive menu and a lot of (vegan) dishes I've never tried before! I had the grilled jackfruit which was amazing. Prices are very fair too and the service was super polite.

Blandest in Der Land - Edit
I will make this short and sweet. The portions are large, the price is moderate but the food tastes bland. If you have no experience with Indian food this might float your boat but other than that unless someone else is paying, I really wouldn't bother.
Read moreVegan dishes aren't always vegan. Maybe they don't understand that yogurt contains animal products.
They seemed to be lacking in cutlery and twice we had to get up and hunt for our own.
They were short staffed and the guy in the kitchen looked like he had a mixture of surprise and anger on his face at all times.
Not the worst food I have ever had but for the price a real disappointment.
Pros: They have a vegan platter, They don't serve meat, Vegan Desserts
Cons: It is bland, They don't seem to know what vegan means, You might get it in 60 min

Just Okay - Edit
The food we ordered was a disappointment; it was just okay is what I can say for the highest praise. It definitely was not the best Indian food we've had. If you're vegan, make sure to specify even though the menu is clearly labeled vegan. They seem to be confused what vegan is. Our samosas came out slothered with yogurt. We had it sent back and only then did the waiter realize my dish, Aloo Gobhi, had to be made vegan, even though it was labeled vegan. My husband ordered the dal and the dish was lacking in flavor. My dish tasted burnt and was way too oily for me. Overall, we were full but not happy with our meal.
Read morePros: Cheap, Large portions
Cons: Oily, Vegan label on food is not accurate.

Place Grand - Food a Bit Bland - Edit
So wish the food had been a bit better here. As it's the sort of place I'd love to be really enthusiastic about. It's a local curry house with a nice feel about it, friendly service and in a pleasant area.
Read moreBut if you're a fan of Indian veggie buffets then you're likely to be a bit underwhelmed by the choice and more importantly the taste of the Sunday 'eat as much as you like' offer. The food was really fresh, and overall we enjoyed our visit - and would even go back. But it was just a bit bland. But if you fancy a curry in a local place then go anyway.
Pros: Welcoming, Fresh Food, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Okay buffet choice - but not massive, Somewhat bland food

Best Indian in Berlin! South Indian food too! - Edit
What a joy to find well-made, authentic south Indian food in Berlin. They also offered many north Indian dishes. The menu was extensive, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant decor was relaxing and beautiful. This was probably the best place we found to eat for vegetarian food in Berlin, especially because we try to avoid soy. The food was great, the prices were very fair, and it was a lovely experience. This is the place to eat if you want Indian food!
Read morePros: south indian food, allergen aware, no soy, lovely decor and staff
