Stein's Berlin Restaurant in City of London, Westminster

Freundlich und lecher! Very friendly and accommodating service offering excellent German sausage options on a busy Sunday lunchtime. The staff were more than happy to allow me to practise my Deutsch and managed to serve us promptly in spite of an impending train departure. Tasty food and friendly staff. Einfach Klasse, vielen Dank!

First impressions, this restaurant has fabulous kerb appeal and is very easy on the eye from the exterior. Our welcome was warm and we were immediately shown to our table and furnished with menus. Fresh water was served straight away. The restaurant is clean and attractive, with a relaxed but still classy vibe. A great venue for a cosy twosome, or a meeting place for a group with their long tables and bench seating. We chose from the very appealing menu and placed our order quickly. The only let down in our entire visit, was the exceptionally long wait for our food. We didn't get an explanation as to why the food was late, but we did get an apology. Most importantly, the food was well worth the wait! Utterly delicious, we scoffed the entire plates of food and then tucked in to delicious desserts too! Exceptional food, great value, fabulous atmosphere - we'll be back!

Brilliant place for lunch or dinner. Excellent for families as well. The staff were very nice and attentive. We will certainly be back again soon!

Perfect, great food, great service. Beautiful setting. I recommend it.

I took my class here in early July (16 very hungry Year 9s!) and it worked a treat. We had such a stylish and peaceful spot on the terrace at the rear and there was so much to eat and it was presented on large wooden Bavarian looking tree stem style boards which really looked the part! We received great advice during the booking phase in the run up to the day and fab service once there. Can really recommend it for larger groups - Stein's will make it happen - danke schön!

Really wanted to give this place a 4. But the Kaisershwarm was the worst I have ever had. I spend maybe a 5th/6th of the year in Germany in recent years. So I have had my share of German food. The rest of the food and cocktails was great. Dont know if they cook the sausages in salt or not cause they tasted way more salty than usual. Inventive German themed cocktails. Basically. Turn down the salt, make the Kaiserschwarm better and more authentic and serve kasierkrainer and you could have 5 stars!

It was OK. Expensive for what it was and the food for the table didn't all arrive together so we had people waiting while others ate/food went cold. Pretty basic to get right so something for them to work on.

Wrapped around the Goethe Institut is a very on point German restaurant. Do you like meat? Potatoes? Beer? All the other delicious German dishes? Well come here for a reasonably long German menu with fair authenticity. Be warned, prices are a little higher than average in the area. Between us, my wife and I were unable to finish the two pint stein. Germans, we are not.

I had planned on dinner at Stein’s Berlin during my summer vacation in London, and I’m glad I did. Situated not far from the likes of the Royal Albert Hall and Natural History Museum in South Kensington, the restaurant has a welcoming, Scandinavian feel to its interior. I received a cheerful welcome as I was led to my table about 6:00pm, and service was efficient and friendly throughout my meal. As someone who loves Bavarian food, I naturally chose the schnitzel. This was delicious and accompanied by yummy fried potatoes. A wonderful glass of Paulaner Helles had my mind wandering back to Munich adventures. Highly recommended. You’ll not be disappointed!

We love this restaurant due to high quality of food, very pleasant interior and good service.

Brilliant place, lovely location on the terrace at the back, great food... but the beer was warm / mildly cool. I was here earlier in the week and the beer was ice cold so this was a one-off.

A solid place for Bavarian food in a nice environment. We sat on the terrace and that was really nice, although they allow smoking outdoors while people are dining - a bit of an outdated policy,I think. The service is efficient to the point of almost being too quick for my liking. The sausage dishes we had were really nice and a meat sharing platter looks extremely tempting for a larger group, maybe another time. The cheesecake dessert was also very good. Paulaner Helles is kept well and very fresh, but 3 of the beers on the menu weren't available when we visited. Overall a good and reliable option if you're in that area of London.

We sat outside at the rear of the restaurant. The waitress gave us a friendly welcome and also some great suggestions for both food and drink. We were a party of ten and everyone really enjoyed the visit before going to the Royal Albert Hall, will definitely make a return visit.

We really liked this restaurant. Food was great, staff were excellent. No problems. And they sell beer in steins! A good choice.

If you're really hungry in the museum district and come across this restaurant, pass by. The food is typical for a German bar but the prices!!! In short, we were very hungry and tired to go further, but we should have...

Very good food, everything really tasted very good. The service was very attentive and when the weather is good you can sit on the terrace.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Had the sharing platter for two, loved it!

Really great food and beer. All the food was lovely and would highly recommend. Will be back for sure. Only thing that was lacking was the service. Had to help ourselves to jugs of tap water from the bar after asking and also the staff didn’t seem like they wanted to be there and were very slow with taking orders etc But didn’t spoil it and wasn’t end of world

Delicious food, but for some reason everything is German! That really took me by suprise.

Furchtbar! The Flammkuchen was one of the worst I have ever had - dry and undercooked. But the Alder König beer was decent.

Stylish and authentic German restaurant. Well located for the museums of South Kensington, and the south side of Hyde Park. The food was great, excellent variety of choices and memories of Germany at its best. The interior is very stylish, service was efficient although could have been a little friendlier. Overall highly recommended.

Had dinner here before an evening at the Albert Hall , I'm so glad I found this restaurant on Google it felt like being on holiday in Austia . The seating outside was busy but not overally noisy. The staff were attentive and welcoming. The food portions were massive and it fulfilled my craving for certain food 😋 The kaiserschmarrn was to die for . Will definitely be returning next time I'll try the beers or cocktails

Definitely close to authentic German food. Nice outdoor seating like a Biergarten in London.

Fantastic vibe place brings berlin to london

The fondue starter was nice. We had the Leberkäse and Biergulasch for mains which were both very good. I wish I could review the dessert but we were never offered one. I honestly think we could have sat there for hours before being asked. 4 staff stood around, staring into space, cleaning empty tables but for about half an hour it didn’t occur to any of them to ask us about dessert or even drinks. Despite this we then struggled to flag down someone for the bill. Pretty uncomfortable furniture too. It’s a shame because the food and menu selection are very good. This could be better.

Extremely pricey for the food which was very salty. The beer however was decently priced for the location and quality. We order two mains to share which was enough

Lovely place, especially their terrace outside is so nice on a warm evening. Food is mostly nice but as an Austrian I don't recommended the Kaiserschmarrn... It is not made correctly. This was like cut up crepe pieces. A Kaiserschmarrn is meant to be fuffy, airy with raisins.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere delightful. While the wurst was priced a bit higher than anticipated, it's understandable given the South Kensington location.

As part of my stay in London, I visited Stein's Berlin this evening. To my surprise, there was an asparagus menu with white asparagus. What can I say.... This one was delicious. The same applies to the potatoes, the pork loin steak and the hollandaise sauce. The staff was friendly and accommodating, some speaking two languages. Thank you for the excellent hospitality.

Beers and pretzels in a calm and elegant environment digesting the experience at Goethe Institute, it is always a pleasure to return.

Loved the food and ambience. Was slightly surprised that they let someone with a small dog in.

Very child-unfriendly restaurant. We were first shown to a table and when we were about to sit down we were told that we couldn't sit there with the child. After the rude waitress kept saying that we couldn't sit there (even though she previously said she was looking for another seat), my husband asked her where we could sit. Then she suddenly said that the place was full. We had to find another restaurant. Super negative experience

Food was good, but they automatically added a 12.5% to the final price for service charge without asking before. Service charge is optional, as written in the menu. I would like to decide which percentage of tips I pay, depending on the quality of the service.

I have just eaten at Steins and had my favourite meal - Weiner Schnitzel.Unfortunately, today the underside of the batter was burnt.I continued to eat as we were in a rush to get to the RAH.When our waitress asked how our meal was - I fed back that it was overdone/ burnt she said she'd feedback to the kitchen but didn't give me any further feedback and we were not offered an apology or anything.Normally the food is perfect.

Wow what a find, was initially dubious of a German restaurant in London but the food was absolutely amazing, this was proper German food in the heart of London. The staff were very friendly and took good care of us. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic, even the fire safety information near the front door is all in German. Amazing touches.

Absolutely amazing place! We accidentally went to this restaurant. It is definitely the best in the area. Beyond the food and drinks, the coffee is a must! Thanks to David and Marce for the great service!!

Full of sweary Americans using the F word and the C word all these time.

Service slow and not attentive. Glasses dirty with lipstick. Curry bratwurst tasted great. Potatoes under cooked.

A really great looking German restaurant that happens to sell wonderful German beer. I only went in for a quick drink and really enjoyed it. Will have to try the food next time!

Being a German living in the UK I always struggle to find places that really help push away the 'home sickness' but this resturant hit the spot! The service, food and atmosphere! Looking forward to coming back

Really good place to come to for German / Alpine food. In summer, the sun terrace at the back is lovely. The kaiserschmarrn is as good as what you'll find in the mountains on a skiing holiday. They accommodate large groups comfortably but are equally adept with solo diners.

We were there on a weekday lunchtime so it was quiet. They didn’t have my friends reservation despite his email confirmation. First time at this branch of Stein’s, I’ve been to the Richmond and Kingston one many times. Wine list more extensive here and is a much smarter place, reflective of the area. Menu is much the same on the mains. Generous portions, very good food, but my friend found the Currywurst a bit too much sauce. I usually order the sauce on the side for that dish. Dessert was good too.

Delicious food in a fabulous contemporary setting. Really appreciated the vegan/veggie versions of all the classic dishes! Such a cool vibe to the whole restaurant, will be back!

Bit overpriced I'd say but nice food

Stein’s Berlin Restaurant: A new and exciting addition to the well-loved Stein’s group of German restaurants. Located in a Grade 2 listed building near the Royal Albert Hall, this modern contemporary restaurant offers authentic German dishes and drinks. The elegant twist inside and the fantastic terrace overlooking Princes Gardens make it an excellent choice for pre and post-concert dining. Prices are reasonable, and guests appreciate the value for money. Food quality is great, and the service is commendable. Whether you’re looking for a casual snack or a full lunch/dinner experience, Stein’s Berlin delivers. 🍽️🇩🇪

Good food, the service is really bad. It has a nice interior and the food overall was good. Would not recommend it because of the service

Really delicious German food and great beer and wine too! Portions are huge - we shared a 2 person platter and the pork knuckle between 4 of us and we were stuffed although we did save some room for dessert. We had the apple strudel and the black forest which was the stand out. Although the menu is inspired by Germany, the decor is Scandi minimalist and very modern. If you can, try and snag a table with proper chairs not the benches because they are not nearly as comfy,

A lovely German restaurant with gorgeous Scandinavian interior design. Staff were cheerful and friendly. We ordered a pretzel, original pork sausages, pork escalope roulade and the apple strudel. All the dishes were decent but the Swabian gnocchis stole the show for me. The apple strudel was also a 10/10 dessert.

A really enjoyable prelude to an evening at the Albert Hall. All the food was beautifully presented and tasty. The services was attentive. We had a nice leisurely meal.

place is so cozy and food is great!

Unbelievable place, worth the visit

We had a lovely Valentine's Day dinner at Stein's Berlin. The decor, the ambiance, the food, and particularly the service (Patrizio 😊) were exceptional. Looking forward to returning the next time I'm in London!

Was first placed at a table next to a v cold open window, then was disturbed by what sounded like building works in the basement. The beer and snitzel were good, but the meatloaf and sausages were poor. Wouldnt go back. Prefer the polish restaurant two doors down.

Chill vibes, great authentic German food, very good prices for this area

Had a lovely early Valentine's lunch before going to The Royal Albert Hall.

Lovely time here last Saturday having lunch with a GF. Very German meat based restaurant but as a gluten intolerant vegetarian I enjoyed the winter veggies. GF had two sausages, sauerkraut and some fried potatoes and declared them delicious. Service was good. Toilets clean. Would revisit

What a great place to visit. We arrived at one o'clock with no reservation and were seated straight away . Great staff , and fantastic choice of drinks and food. Food arrived quickly and was delicious we chose a huge sharing platter and unfortunately had to leave some because we were full . Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere and perfect customer service, found this restaurant whilst visiting London,and definitely will be coming again! The manager Maria really lift up the place! Thanks

Home away from home, superb place, great service and great German authentic food. Lovely atmosphere as well. All staff spoke German as well. We went there on a Saturday at lunchtime with our two kids. Would recommend booking.

Ridiculously overpriced food. Don't try the ragu, very little meat in there. The place is nice though.

Love to visit whenever I'm working in London! The food, the service, and the atmosphere always a 10/10!

I come here a lot. The staff is friendly, and there’s a nice variety of German cuisine. Most meat dishes are pan-fried or deep-fried – not for everyone. They have a nice selection of sausages; the pretzels are fresh, and the fried potatoes are just perfect. The schnitzels are also good. Apple pie isn’t bad. Kid-friendly. Sitting at the long tables with the long benches isn’t comfortable in any way, so ask for a regular table. Prices are reasonable. It’s a nice place to drop by every once in a while.

Chance encounter and would certainly return. Tasty, well cooked traditional food, very good and friendly service.

I ordered the vegan bratwurst today that came with sauerkraut. The sauerkraut was excessively sour and pungent, at first I thought that was just how it was supposed to be since it’s pickled cabbage but the more I ate it the more I winced at it. Should’ve said something to the waiter because I got food poisoning from it an hour later. ☹️ Edit: The restaurant refunded me for the meal! Shoutout to Patrick, that was very considerate of them. Would probably never order this dish again though if I ever come back.

We hadn't realised that Steins had a restaurant here and it was a nice surprise to find it after having been to the Royal Albert Hall. Having previously been to both the Richmond and Kingston Steins we were interested to see how it compared. I am pleased to say that despite being very different to the others it was really nice. We were a party of 6 including a toddler and they were great in finding us a really nice table. The high chair was a lot better than many and they were quite happy to bring the child's meal with our drinks which many places do not seem able to manage. A great selection of dishes on the menu including the signature sausage ones. We had Currywurst, Meatloaf and a Wild Boar ragu and all were excellent. Service was friendly and efficient and the toilets and baby change facilities accessible and clean. All in all a great experience.

Went with our family (one side is 2nd generation German) post Royal Albert Hall. Everything was exceptional - food, service, ambiance. Really kind to the kids too. Thank you we will be back!!

Encontramos este sitio de casualidad por Google Maps, porque queríamos tomar algún cóctel antes de visitar al Museo de Historia Natural. Nos atendió Marcelo (de Italia). Su atención fue excepcional! Nos recomendó unos cócteles estupendos, típicos de Alemania, uno con canela y el otro con Jaguermister. Probamos también la tarta de manzana. Al ser el cumpleaños de mi novia, Marcelo nos trajo la tarta con una velita, gran detalle! Lo pasamos muy bien, gracias! (desde Madrid)

Went here before the Royal Albert Hall Place was clean and welcoming Staff very attentive and friendly Menu was good selection and waiter offered to recommend dishes Food came out piping hot which is unusual for most restaurants and was delicious and so obviously freshly cooked not microwaved Glad we had a dessert too really good We had a table for two next to the tree Only thing I would say is I would not have liked to share a bench table too impersonal but that’s my preference

氛围还是很不错的，菜品也是还可以，不能说特别惊艳，但是还是可以的。

Super friendly staff and very professional. Very nice atmosphere!

Great place for sharing platter and exquisite beer selection

After I visited Natural History Museum, I was so starving. Then, I decided to visit here because it was so close from the museum and I wanted to eat german foods. It was so nice! The staffs were so kind and the foods were amazing! I would like to visit here again and try other foods!! Schnitzel was very delicious, also apple strudel Thank you very much.

Got what i hoped for, highly recommend and if you meet Deividas the bartender, tell him hi from me

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing german cuisine & beers. I recommend platter for 2 persons and weiss hirsch beer. Didnt dissapoint

A surprisingly sophisticated and pleasing upgrade to the rustic Richmond favourite. Located over the road from Imperial College London. Shared tables remain, with a food and wine menu that is blissful, and a continental cafe ambiance. We had the sharing platter for two, and it was perfect if not ever so slightly extra. The beer is fresh and fantastic. I wasn't sure how Steins was going to translate to the city. They've done a great job, and I look forward to going back. 👏 Service was friendly and efficient. Thank you guys.

Amazing and very authentic food offered in generous portions, going down well with equally amazing and authentic German beer. The service is not very attentive but friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is ok, nothing special

Went for dinner here and really enjoyed it! The restaurant was lovely and the service was excellent. I got the curry wurst sausage with potatoes and really liked it! I also tried the schnitzel and really loved it!

Fantastic food, big portions, and great drinks, all authentic German and very, very tasty. Not cheap but the quality and quantity totally justifies the price. Service is ok, not overly attentive but overall a great experience

The service was perfect, food delicious - save room for dessert - and I really liked the modern wood panelling, lighting and ambiance. I would definitely recommend and I would go again!

The food is sublime, as is the beer. The bench seating is a horrendous idea, and resulted in us rubbing backs and elbows with the people on the bench behind us throughout the entire meal. Service was good, if not slightly inattentive. Overall, I would certainly return, and look forward to it.

My wife took me there as a surprise. And, as a German, I whole-heartedly loved this place. Good beer, the food was just as in Germany (I had the Schweinemedallions on Spätzle with mushroom sauce, delicious) I wish I could take this place back to Bristol with me. They even had a good Schnaps!

Very authentic German cuisine. The service is attentive to details. Pleasant atmosphere for pleasant conversations.

After a recent trip to Vienna where I had the good fortune of trying the famous Figlmueller schnitzel I was keen to see what I could find in the UK. I’m a keen German Beer aficionado so was also keen to sample Stein’s own Dunkel. Neither the schnitzel (opting for chicken this time) or the Dunkel disappointed. Both were delicious and complemented each other brilliantly. I had a side order of freshly made Pretzl bread too with butter which was also sublime. The restaurant is in an excellent location, especially for the Royal Albert Hall, which suited me well Would definitely recommend. And I shall return :) Vielen Dank Stein’s für das leckere Essen

A pre event lunch before going to the Royal Albert hall. Atmosphere was good with the bench style seats and chunky furniture. Expected a little bit of the cheesy Bavarian music but there was a chilled electro vibe which worked well. Menu not massive and consisted of Bavarian favourites but with a modern twist. Plenty sausage and Schnitzel and warm kartoffelsalat. The tastes and smells did transport me back to my teenage years living in Germany as a British military kid. The beer selection was good and typically Bavarian. I didn't on this occasion go for a large Stein as would have probably needed a nap at the concert but did sample a Weissbier and will be back for a stein or two with friends next time. Prices were typically London I would say but not overly priced. There is a service charge included but the staff were attentive and available through out our visit. Hopefully if busier of an evening the staff ratio warrants a service charge and they do still give good service. A great lunch nice flavours great food and relaxed atmosphere thank you !

All in all good food but the price is high. For the transparency it would be great if you write that your bill includes a 12.5% “service rate” without it it would be a 4 star rate

We walked in on a whim and it's some of the best German food I've ever had!

Delicious food 👌 I highly recommend 👌 😋

Used to like this place. But recently when I visit there, many of the staffs pretend not seeing us, we wait in front of the door for about 15 minutes, at least 5 staffs work aroud us but no one tried to speak to us. At last one man staff in the bar shaked his head slightly, then we got it and left. If you ar not open, just close the door or tell us you are not open, why you let your customer stand there wait for so long?

Wir hatten u.s. Käsespätzle und Currywurst mit Bratkartoffeln wg der Sehnsucht nach der Heimat.... Spätzle ein lauwarmer Haufen irgendwelcher Nudeln die keinerlei Ähnlichkeit mitr Spätzle hatten. Geröstete Zwiebelringe mit der konsistenz von Dichtungsringen. Der Geschmack war....ok. Die Currywurst war dem Koch wohl nur aus alten Sagen und Märchen bekannt. Eine leidlich, vermutlich in Öl frittierte "Bratwurst" bestrichen mit einem Hauch Ketchup und etwas länger stehnenden Bratkartoffeln. Auch lauwarm. Und für die gebotene Qualität maßlos überteuert. Das war unter Pommesbudenniveau. Kosten für die Currywurst. 17.90 Pfund Käsespätzle 17:90 Pfund Wir haben wohl nur für dei Lage in Kensington bezahlt. Mein Tip an das Restaurant...Schickt euren Koch mal auf eine Schulung. We had cheese spaetzle and curry sausage with fried potatoes because of the longing for home.... Spaetzle a lukewarm pile of some kind of noodles that had no resemblance to spaetzle. Roasted onion rings with the consistency of gaskets. The taste was....ok. The curry sausage was probably only known to the cook from old legends and fairy tales. A sorry, presumably oil-fried "bratwurst" spread with a touch of ketchup and fried potatoes that stood a little longer. Also lukewarm. And overpriced for the quality on offer. It was below the level of a chip shop. Cost of the curry sausage. £17.90 Cheese noodles £17.90 We probably only paid for the location in Kensington. My tip to the restaurant...Send your chef on a training course.

This is very hard and dry , sauce is too salty 😕over price.

We came here for coffee and cake, and weren't disappointed. The Black Forest Gateaux was light, creamy and delicious, and the Sachertorte was dense and chocolaty. I had the mint tea, which was refreshing, and very minty - much better than some I have had elsewhere. Will definitely be back to try some of the main courses.

Let's start off by saying the food and the beer are incredible, cannot fault at all. The staff were very helpful and attentive and never too far away so we could always get a hold of someone when we needed something. The atmosphere though... it's a bit odd... Now I get it's Kensington so the restaurant is always going to have that going against it but when I think of a traditional Bavarian restaurant, I think of good German music, loud jovial patrons and staff and the clinking of beer glasses, instead this place offers a more clinical almost teetering on fine dining experience with loud generic modern music on what felt like a loop; an approach which was at such a juxtaposition to the waitress in lederhosen and the amazing food. Id recommend going but don't expect to get swept up in a Bavarian beer experience as this just isn't that.

Delicious beer with a wide range of selections that you cannot get in normal bars. Different to standard pubs, this place has a more sophisticated vibe and a more classic feel. I had a couple of steins beer there and I really liked the drinks. Food are enjoyable, quality and price are decent. Good selections for different taste. This is a place I will return again.

Arrived at 5.45 for pre proms dinner. Left at 7 having received no food other than bread. Staff had no idea when food would arrive - the only assurance was that they would bring it straight to us when it left the kitchen. We won’t be going back.

Disastrous restaurant!!! Hard to review food that doesn't exist so I gave it one star. Ordered food and no updates 60 minutes later. Just left. Multiple other tables did the same. Shambles for a restaurant supposedly serving the pre-Proms crowd. I will never return.

We ate dinner on the terrace which overlooks a lovely tree filled square. The food and service were excellent and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The meat platter was great and the dunkels beer was delicious. Excellent Apfelstrudel too. Thanks to all of the staff who looked after us.

I really enjoyed it here and will come back again soon. The beers are all classics and the food is great, plenty of vegetarian. The atmosphere is quite relaxed but the service is excellent and attentive.

Wir sind extra dort hin gefahren. Sind aus Deutschland und fanden es super Essen schmeckt genauso wie zu Hause. Bedienung hat deutsch gesprochen fanden wir super!! :)

The food is good but the chair is uncomfortable.
