Reviews:
This popular spot in the Simon Dach Kiez has received several good reviews. It serves the regular "cafe fair" and international dishes (including pasta and breakfasts); and is also a cocktail bar. Tim and Megan write on their blog: "we returned to Simon-Dach Strasse for dinner, this time visiting a restaurant called Euphoria. Again the servings were huge and the prices were not. Germans, it would seem, eat a lot of meat..."

Engelbecken
Style:
German/Swiss/Austrian and "Alpine"
More:
Reviews:
Fodor's recommends this restaurant:
"The beer coasters are trading cards of the Wittelsbach dynasty in this relaxed but high-quality restaurant serving dishes from Bavaria and the Alps. Classics like Wiener schnitzel, goulash, and grilled saddle steak are made of "bio" meat and vegetable products, meaning that even the veal, lamb, and beef are the tasty results of organic and humane upbringing. In warm weather, reserve a sidewalk table. With its corner position facing a park bordering Lake Lietzensee, Engelbecken is a lovely open-air dining spot."

The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, unless you came to a convention at the convention centre ("Messe"), in which case it is one of the best restaurants close to the ICC/Messe area.
However, it is not entirely out of interest for the "regular" tourist. First of all, the restaurant lies on the banks of the Lietzensee lake, which is a very nice spot; it is not far from the Charlottenburg Palace (and hence could be integrated into a guided tour in the Charlottenburg Palace and its museums); and there are several sites of Jewish interest in the area, which could be integrated to a Jewish Life in West Berlin tour; and the restaurant could be also integrated with customised Berlin tours
Nearby Hotels/Accommodation:
Note: because of the proximity to the ICC convention centre, many of these hotels are very simple ones, catering the traveller to the Messe exhibitions and trade fairs.

Einstein Cafe
Style:
German; Coffee-House
More:
Cafe Einstein is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type of thing: they have a chain of Starbucks-clones all over town, which are just what you'd expect when you hear the term "Starbucks Clone". They also have an amazing coffee-house, full of atmosphere, good cakes and fine food, on Kurfürstenstraße; another quite decent house is on the Unter den Linden avenue, though not as magical as the original one .
Reviews:
Not exactly a review. Matt Ruff writes in his Blog: "Afterwards I go with Martina Kohl and some of the museum staff to eat wienerschnitzel at the Cafe Einstein (the cooking's not quite as good as Mrs. Brecht's, but it'll do). " Despite the fact that he linked to the original Einstein
Cafe, he was probably at the Under den Linden branch (because of his visit to the Kennedy Museum), which is - as already mentioned - not as enchanted.
Jessica Aldred writes on "BeenThere" (about the Kurfuerstenstrasse branch): "Atmospheric cafe/restaurant inside an old villa. Walk through the dark wood and red leather interior to the pretty garden courtyard at the back. Serves great coffee and apple strudel."
And Ganda, too, ate at Einstein
The Basics:
Kurfürstenstrasse 58, 10785 Berlin (original) +49 (0) 30 261 50 96
Unter den Linden 42, 10117 Berlin (branch) +49 (0) 30 204 36 32
And many small coffee places all around town
