My sister who lives in Berlin recommends the following restaurants:
'Amrit' is an excellent Indian restaurant in Kreuzberg, with an affiliate in Mitte as well.
If you like trendy and delicious Italian food with fresco-filled walls and friendly waiters, try 'Die 12 Aposteln' (The 12 Apostles) near Humboldt University.

Let me suggest you 2 further addresses :
Ousies - Grunewaldstraße 16 - (U7 Eisenacherstr.) a greek restaurant in the heart of Schöneberg.
Zillemarkt - Bleibtreustr. (at Savignyplatz by the railway bridge) - a classic for berlin traditional food in Charlottenburg.

Are any of these walkable from the Berlin Hilton ( Leipziger Strasse 106-111)? We'll be arriving late in the afternoon, and it certainly would be pleasant to dine nearby without having to deal with major transportation or language issues.

Here' my two cents:
Right in Mitte, I would recommend Lindenlife on Unter den Linden. International cuisine that is getting good reviews everywhere, reasonable prices and good wines.
Also to be considered:
Borchardt behind Gendarmenmarkt (the Hilton is only steps away). The cuisine is German to French and its quality is mixed depending on the day you go there. Still, it is part of Berlin's social life and about everybody goes there. Sometimes local to national celebrities can be spotted.
Lutter und Wegner on Gendarmenmarkt (the Hilton is just a pitching wedge away, and Newton Bar for cocktails is right across the street). Austrian cuisine with also a mixed quality, but quite good overall. Nice setting. They also have a wine store so you can find some good varieties on the menu.
A little bit further away (it might already rate as Prenzlauer Berg) there is Gugelhof, specializing in Alsatian (if that indicates coming from the French/German area of Alsace) food. Also a place that rates high with the in- scene but has quite reasonable prices and a nice setting.
Finally there's Diekmann im Weinhaus Huth on Alte Leipziger Strasse close to Potsdamer Platz. Cool ambiance, but good quality cuisine again at reasonable prices.
Enjoy Berlin- and one more suggestion: If you are in town for more than two days, you might consider to buy a restaurant guide called "Marcellino's". It will set you back approx. € 10.- but you get ratings on a huge number of restaurants with reference to food, service, drinks and ambiance. All based on reports of people like you and me and verified by professional testers.
If you understand some German, they are fun to read, if not, stick to the catgegories indicated (a numeric system from 1 to 10 points) or the rankings depending on the price category (from cheap to reasonable, up- market and cream of the crop), or one of the other charts depending on whether you want Lebanese, Indian, Italian or whatever sort of food.
Another, cheaper, option (retailing at € 3.- and available at kiosks or in your hotel) would be a copy of the new kid on the block of guides: Berlin in your pocket. It even comes in English language and provides a condensed overview and rating of hotels and restaurants of all sorts and also features helpful information on the city sights with addresses and phone numbers. They are also on the web at:

I have not yet used the Berlin guide but their guides became a sort of bible when I was working in the Baltic states.
Again have a lot of fun

One more you might consider, although this is not exactly in Mitte (but just a short cab ride away):
Ständige Vertretung- a German Pub/ Restaurant with a Rhine- Theme and food from the region of Cologne. It caters to a crowd of public servants in Berlin exile after the move of the government from Bonn to Berlin. But there is a local crowd, too. It sometimes can get noisy, but what the heck- get yourselves some beer (and some more) and be merry!
Cheers
