good service, great food

I had the wok fried vegetables with basil and chilli, fake beef. Really good, and there's an English menu so good for travellers.

Delicious fake meats

Most dishes will contain soy or wheat fake meats products. They have perfect taste and texture. You'll find "chicken", "duck", "beef", "fish", and others as well as vegetable dishes and soups in dozens of different recipes. The sauces are just so amazing. It can get crowded during lunch time but it's great for dinner.

Pros: Mostly vegan dishes that will please meat eaters t, Spicy or not spicy options, Fast service and affordable, large portions.

Cons: It might be wise to book for lunch, Too many dishes to choose from, if that's a thing., Not much to choose for dessert

colourful veggies :-)

I'd been visiting different cities in different countries in Europe for more than two weeks by the time I got to Berlin, and while I'd been managing to eat vegetarian all the way along, it wasn't always healthily, which made Savory Chay that much better for me!

I had a yellow curry with a variety of colourful veggies and some tofu. The spice level wasn't too much, it was very flavourful, and the veggies were all crisp. I went on a weekday at lunch time and the place was starting to fill up with people who work nearby.

I went back a couple of days later to get some takeaway and the man remembered me. The package wasn't closed properly and the bag must've had a bit of a hole in it, because somebody pointed out I was leaving a trail of curry in a shop I went into on my way back to the hotel, oops! The food was still yummy though :-)

One of the best asian restaurants I have ever encountered!

Flavors perfectly in balance. Fresh and perfectly cooked vegetables, slightly crispy not overcooked. Amazing combinations for a low price. What a passion for food this restaurant has. If only more people would discover this lovely restaurant.

Pros: Low price., Best quality.

Incredible restaurant!

My boyfriend and me went there for lunch/dinner and treated ourselves with amazing vegan duck, rice noodle salad, mango lassi, fresh passionfruit lemonade and a black rice dessert. every bit was worth the money and the waiter was super, super friendly! it is going to be one of my favourite places here in Berlin! Yum!

Pros: friendly staff , a lot of great options , cheap

A pleasant surprise

I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. If you're into Asian food, this is your place. The faux meat is great and so are the spring rolls.

Highly recommend

We arrived very late and near closing time (9.30pm) after browsing the Christmas markets. We weren't turned away and were invited in by a very friendly, smiley man who was patient and happy to talk through the menu with us. Service was fast but not rushed at all, we both had the crispy vegan "chicken" which was absolutely beautiful, seriously a 10/10. Everything was reasonably priced, the food was well presented and the restaurant was completely spotless. We also tried some vegan dumplings, which i could have happily eaten dozens of. I highly recommend this little hidden gem.

Pros: Vast menu Different choices Happy, smiling service

Cons: None

Loved it here!

Everything was just so good, the food, the atmosphere, the drinks and especially the service! You can see this place is run by people with passion for vegan/vegetarian food. It was very cheap but the portions and quality were just right. We paid €30 for two appetisers, two mains and two drinks.
I would highly recommend this place!

Pros: People with passion, Awesome vegan duck and chicken, Cheap

Cons: Nothing

Delicious vegan meal, beautiful establishment and kind staff

Today I had the The Vegan Grill Chicken Teriyaki auf Sobanudeln (with extra spinach on my request) as take-away, and it is absolutely delicious :). The staff was very kind as well, patiently helping me to order something. The interior of the restaurant is elegant and cosy, with beautiful pictures on the walls. Also, the restaurant had the possibility to pay by card (in Berlin it's often just cash) and was wheelchair accessible.

Pros: Delicious food and many vegan options, Nice staff and interior decoration, Wheelchair accessible

Cons: Can't think of an important con.

Good! Really good!

This was a great experience!
The food was really delicious, the staff was super friendly and it was pretty cheap. I had a peanut curry with fried tofu. It was so good. I also had a vegan mango drink which blew my mind! I will definitely recommend this place if you like east asian food!

Great Asian Spot!

This place is so nice and cheap!
We ate on the terrace in the sun, the service was really good, all vegan dishes were clearly indicated and we ate very well.
Our soy balls curry coco-dish was very fresh (all vegetables were perfectly cooked and still crispy) and spicy. The ratio price/quality is great.

Pros: Large terrace on a nice quiet street closeby Check

Cheap take away quality

Went there last weekend. The staff was nice, but the food quality was terrible.

We got a Bahn Bao that was microwaved (and badly, as part of it were really HARD and spongy), and got another rice place with badly cooked vegetable and take-away quality sauces. The tofu "strips" were pretty tasteless.

If it costed a third of its price and was a take-away food, I would have rated it 3 stars.

But in Berlin, for this price, you can get way better standards.

Pros: Nice staff

Cons: Cheap food, Expensive, Badly cooked

Delicious, absolutely delicious

Stumbled into that place by chance, as I had to wait for the hairdresser's appointment. And I am so glad I went into Savory Chay. All is prepared freshly, you can hear the chef chopping away in the kitchen. The food is hot and very well presented. Colourful and not overcooked. Portions are big enough. I was pleasantly full.

I think I have never eaten anything so tasty as the Kokos-Limetten-Suppe (Coconut-Lime-Soup).
That was followed by Vegane Ente Golden Curry, equally delicious.

And I even got a free desert, Kokos-Parfait with Mango Puree.

Will see whether I have time for a second visit.

Pros: Fresh, Hot, Very attentive staff

Tasty, cheap but little portions

Loved all we tried, lovely food, all in vegan possible, starters around 3,5€ main dishes around 7-8€, very cheap for the area! It's not the most comfy place but for the price amazing! They even have a weekly changing menu and the fake duck I had was delicious! However without the starter and a heavy mango lassi I wouldn't have been full, in total we paid 25€ for two people which is more than good.

tasty and friendly

Now, when I'm in the area, I always eat here. I loved all the things I've tried so far, as well my husband and my mom were very satisfied when I took them here. I love Pad Thai, was missing it after the winter trip to Thailand. Here I found the perfect one.

Pros: tasty, fast service, very friendly
