Authentic Balkan Comfort in Wittenau
Tucked away on Eichborndamm, Maestral is the kind of place locals have been whispering about for years. It's a Yugoslavian grill house that doesn't try to be fancyâit just focuses on doing one thing really well: serving authentic Balkan comfort food. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, with rustic decor that makes you feel like you're dining at a friend's place rather than in a restaurant.
The menu is straightforward but delicious. Start with the grilled feta with garlicâit's creamy, smoky, and served with fresh bread that you'll want to dip into everything. The Dalmatian appetizer platter is a feast for the senses with its mix of hard cheeses, smoked ham, and olives. For the main event, the grill platter is generous enough to share (though you might not want to), featuring hipped steak, marinated pork chops, and those signature minced meat rolls. Don't skip the Palatschinken for dessertâthe chocolate banana version with nut nougat cream is divine.
Prices are very reasonable for Berlin, with main courses around 14-20 euros. Service is friendly and efficient, though don't expect white-glove treatmentâthis is casual dining at its finest. If you're craving something different from the usual German or Italian fare and want genuine Balkan flavors, Maestral delivers without pretense.

NichĂ© sur l'Eichborndamm, Maestral est ce genre d'endroit que les locaux frĂ©quentent depuis des annĂ©es. C'est un grill house yougoslave qui ne cherche pas Ă ĂȘtre chicâil se contente de bien faire une seule chose : servir une cuisine balkane authentique et rĂ©confortante. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et dĂ©contractĂ©e, avec une dĂ©coration rustique qui donne l'impression de dĂźner chez un ami plutĂŽt que dans un restaurant.
La carte est simple mais dĂ©licieuse. Commencez par le feta grillĂ© Ă l'ailâcrĂ©meux, fumĂ©, servi avec du pain frais que vous voudrez tremper dans tout. L'assiette d'apĂ©ritif dalmate est un festin pour les sens avec son mĂ©lange de fromages durs, de jambon fumĂ© et d'olives. Pour le plat principal, le plateau grillĂ© est gĂ©nĂ©reux et suffisant pour partager (mĂȘme si vous n'aurez peut-ĂȘtre pas envie), avec du steak de hanche, des cĂŽtelettes de porc marinĂ©es et ces fameuses boulettes de viande hachĂ©e. Ne manquez pas les Palatschinken pour le dessertâla version banane chocolat avec crĂšme nougat aux noix est divine.
Les prix sont trĂšs raisonnables pour Berlin, avec des plats principaux autour de 14-20 euros. Le service est amical et efficace, mĂȘme si n'attendez pas un traitement de luxeâc'est de la restauration dĂ©contractĂ©e Ă son meilleur. Si vous avez envie de quelque chose de diffĂ©rent des habituelles offres allemandes ou italiennes et que vous voulez de vrais saveurs balkaniques, Maestral livre sans prĂ©tention.
