On Egin

I've been to Berlin 3 times, this is easily one of the best meals I've had here. Great menu, decent price, good atmosphere a bit of house when you much.5 STARS! BIG SMOKE!

For an Indian restaurant pretty good! The staff is quite nice. But it isn’t close to a tapas place. Used to be a lovely Spanish place but things have certainly changed…

A couple years ago I used to come here regularly, because the food was nice and authentic.

This time was awful, tasteless, worst tapas experience. Nothing to do with authentic basque food.

I don't know if they changed the management, the cooks or owner. But today is not even the shadow of what On Egin used to be. And that is sad because the service was really nice.

If you can, avoid it completely.

They sell tortilla de patata in the the "Cold tapas" menu.
The tortilla comes to the table warm and very dried. I ask if it is possible to have a cold one instead (as written on the menu, and as I usually eat it). The feedback from the waiter is a joke I have never heard in a Spanish tapas restaurant before "Sorry, we don't sell cold tortilla here..." ????

A pity, because the rest of the food was kind of nice..

I live in the neighborhood, the place looks nice, full in the evenings (especially in the summer) and it caught my eye.
I had no special expectations from the food considering the prices. But what can be wrong with tapas .. small, simple, lovely dishes. LOVE TAPAS!
I think I haven’t eaten such a bad food in a long time.
Absolutely the worst tapas bar I have ever visited.
The girls who serviced us were very nice, but had no idea about the menu. I asked about 1 of 2 soups which they had on the menu and she went to ask the kitchen what was that…
The place is nice, can imagine a lot of fun to sit in in the summer, but was just frozen.
After a few minutes in place, I put the scarf back ..
We ordered:
Bread portion - a cheap baguette that you can find in every supermarket can’t be called “bread”. I would pay more to get reasonable bread. Simply embarrassing.
Fish soup - came as a seafood soup. Very problematic, if you look at it in terms of allergies. Nor I would order seafood soup, because it is clear that at a price of 5.3 € it can’t be a good quality seafood.
I wanted to cancel the soup. Because it came last and the portions were large (didn’t expect that), I was told it was ready… I hardly believe it was being prepared a la minute. So what is "ready" and why can not be undone. By the way, the soup that was "ready" came to the table 10 minutes after I asked to cancel. very bad. The soup itself was just bad.
Even jamon iberico was sliced thick.
Croquettes - I don’t like cinnamon, so I just didn’t eat. My partner was fine with them. It’s a shame it’s not written on the menu.
Mashed potatoes with sausages - the puree was sour! Sour - not fresh, almost spoiled .. we didn’t touch it. Yuck
Shrimp in white wine - nothing to tell, tasteless shrimps, burnt garlic.
Very low quality ingredients.
First and the last time.

Good try since the menu is full of proper and original spanish tapas. However the execution is rather poor, with disappointing and flavourless tapas. Garlic soup had absolutely nothing to do with the one served in Spain, it simply was a creamy sauce with floating garlic pieces. Wine was quite okay but the overall feeling is that of being ripped off at a touristic street in Spain while being offered bullfight tickets. I am sorry but would rather recommend to buy pimientos del padron at Rewe and cook them yourselves at home, you might have high chances to do them better.

3 different tapas we had were bad to ok in different ways: Auberginen soaked with oil with a slice of Aldi Brie cheese decorated with honey and sprouts, tasteless Patatas Bravas and boring champions in white wine. The draft beer wasn’t fresh nor cold but at least they have replaced it. There’s a lot of place for improvement.
