On my fifth day in Berlin, I ate at the Massai !

One star for the look : The Massai is an African restaurant. From the outside, you can totally get this feeling. Once inside, you have travelled in an instant to Africa. The waiters are dressed with a white african-like uniform and the menu are... How can I say ? When the menu arrived at the table, I thought there were severals XD Not. Actually, it is a fully binded book and each page is really thick. It looks like the menu has been carved in wood. Really funny, I would like to be the waiter with a table for 4 !

One star for the food : I asked for an Antelope meat. One the menu there was no specification about the rest. Just that there would be wild rice and vegetables. I had a soup as a started, which I had not ordered. It was OMG delicious. They I had my plate. When I say plate, I should say PLATE: I had never seen such a huge plate, could barely stand on the table. On this plate I had the meat, perfectly cooked, some vegies in some kind of coconut shell, some beans in another shell, some wild rice kept warm under another shell. I cannot really explain how good it warm. It was just... Beautiful ! If you want to try this dish, look at the section Cap Special of the menu and Antelop meat.

One star for the people : Really nice and helpful AND fast !

One star for the presentation : Every plate, bowl, is decorated with African designs and the word MASSAI. Really exotic

Anything else to add ? I have not put a five star, though I would really like to, because my friend thought it was way too spicy. And it was not actually specified on the menu that it would be that much. If you are in Berlin, think of my recommandation and Enjoy !
