Good Eats in Berlin

I have been in Berlin almost a month now and there seems to be so much to explore still. I have been going out almost every night of the week and discovering a new and exciting place each time. Bret and i have developed a group of restaurants we frequent regularly, and after a recent disaster with a home cooked meal, we  have decided to stick to eating out. Our two favorites are Nil and Spatzel Express.  Both ofter very different tastes, and uncommon flavors, and both serve up plenty of food for under 4 Euros (aproxamately $5-$6). Nil is a Sudanese restaurant that specializes in Pita sandwhiches, which are great for the go, but if you ask for it on a plate it seems like you get a bit more food. My two favorites are the Tiymays? which are a Sudanese sytle Falafel (the best falafel i have ever had), they are accompanied with a small green salad, Aswad, Fohl or Mish and Potates, also a choice of peanut sauce  or yogurt, all of the ingedients are freshly made there. Nil Chicken is the next favorite, it is served with the same options, but with curry seasoned chicken in place of the falafel. The Falafel is 2 Euros and the Chicken is 3 Euros. You can't beat that...or can you. 

Spatzle Express maybe does beat it. The small portions cost less than 4 Euros, and include a small salad. Believe me, the small portion is enough. Bret's favorite is the Kasespatzle, which is spatzle covered in delicious melted cheese. I myself haven't determined a favorite. Spatzle has a very simple menu with four categories, with that being said i usually don't know what i am ordering, but i have no fear, because so far everything has been delicious. I know that Bret and I are going to miss eating spatzle 4 times a week. 

There is one more place that we want to add to the rotatiation, but it is aboud 7 Euros a dish and a bit out of the way, however i think we will still try to enjoy it once a week. The restaurant is Monsieur Vuong, it is an Indochina Cafe. They have 6-8 fresh dishes to chose from in a day and all of them are winners. The food and tea have a very authentic Vietnamese taste due to the freshness of everything. I want to try everything there, and i just found out that the menu changes every two days. Sounds like i can develop a schedule than.
