I must admit we turned up to Umami exhausted, on a very hot, very busy Berlin August Saturday and were very lucky to get a seat. In summer the restaurant, specialising in IndoChinese cuisine, more than doubles in size with tables sprawling out to the square in front. The atmosphere was buzzing with street performers and what felt like most of Berlin begging for a table.

Exhausted, we opted to keep things simple with the set Bao Dai’s Dinner which was a mere 32,80€ for 3 people- even with drinks and a few extras thrown in you cannot deny this was an absolute steal.
