Bad Eats in Berlin

Berlin should not be known for its indian restaurants, other than the fact that there are tons of them and none of them seem to be that good. Everything is very safe and mild and full of yogurt. Bret and i have been very disappointed with the three experiences we have had with indian food. It is typically over priced and overrated. 

Another food let down are the bakeries, there is a bakery every two blocks and very few of them are good. They are nothing like the french bakeries i experienced in Montreal. The bakeries in Berlin seem to not have very many sweet treats, which for me is unacceptable. I would say that the thing that i miss most about american style food would be breakfast. Here breakfast gets very little attention. There are no diners with 24-hr pancakes, eggs, waffles, french toast, bacon, sausage, etc. Breakfast here is usually a small plate with bread, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and salami, and is typically meant for two people to split. I am not saying this is bad, but where i come from we call this an unmade sandwich. 
One more thing, Germany is supposed to be known for great cakes right? Then why can't i find any?
