Mao Thai
With its East Asian interior design and great value for money, Mao Thai is one of the best budget restaurants in Berlin and is always packed with a young and cool Prenzlauer Berg crowd. The chicken served in a coconut is the signature dish, although other dishes (such as the fried scampi in tomato sauce, with chillies, spring onions, peppers, pineapple and cucumber) are even more inventive.
