Coming to Berlin and never eat on doner kebab is blasphemy . in earnest , we just ca n’t excuse it . These Turkish pseudo - sandwiches load down with naughty meat sliced from a vertical rotisserie are a gluttonous later night institution – and let ’s look it , right smart better at free a hangover than currywurst will ever be . escort as the city is covered in more kebab shop class than you may stir a skewer at , we make up one’s mind to put together a few of the very best :
Mustafa’s
Let ’s start with Berlin ’s engaged kebab stand , where a pocket of Turkish pleasure costs only € 2.90 ( and up to an hour of waiting in line ) . Mustafa ’s cult following includes tourists and locals alike for a few good reason – crispy chicken , wise feta , and a mystical ingredient we ’re still endeavor to work out out . Consider queuing here at least once a rite of passage for most Berliners .
K’UPS
K’UPS is hail by a lot of locals as the impertinent alternative to Mustafa ’s – situate handily on Kastanienallee with indoor seating room and much shorter wait times . Kebabs number prepared by proper gelt - meat - sauce proportion , and are uncommitted in the traditional alternative of lamb or wimp and grilled veggies .
Hasir Restaurant
Do n’t get this grill house ’s chain status arse around you ; it ’s a local institution . In fact , the beginner take to have formulate the Berlin doner in his day ( although there ’s a couple guys who ’ve order that ) . Hasir is one of the nicer , posture - down Turkish restaurants in the city , and besides doner , they also do thick , delicious soups and grilled meats .
NUR Gemüse Kebap
A doner is nothing without its condiments , and the selection is usually fix to the holy trifecta of red-hot , garlic , and herbaceous plant . That ’s what make NUR ’s pedestal so grand , not only do they answer traditional sauce but also unlawful ones like curry , avocado , and yoghurt . Slathered onto high - grade chicken , the sauces are nothing short of a religious experience .
Kottiwood
There are innumerable doner kebab joint around Kottbusser Tor , but Kottiwood is decidedly a standout . Besides give a name that ’s impossible to mispronounce , this place is bonk for a balanced doner full of wimp , grill vegetable , and cheese . overhaul is friendly , which deserves kudos deliberate the many patrons that sure as shooting finish up here after spending a day at the taproom .
Tadim
Also directly in front of Kotti , Tadim ’s a kebab spot you ’d in all likelihood get recommended by a local Turk . The flatbread is light , fresh , and homemade , nestling up the gratifying proportion of substance and fixings . The restaurant ’s also well known for its Turkish pizza pie , which are kind of like the doner ’s tightfitting cousin – minced done substance on a tenuous moolah , seethe up with all the regular condiment .
Imren Grill
Imren Grill is another mountain chain that does some of Berlin ’s best ( if not the in effect ) doner centre . It ’s marinate , veteran , and bundle onto the spread out skewer in - planetary house ( which amazingly , is n’t as common as you ’d call up ) . Apparently , the secret is flavor the boeuf with lamb fat , although there ’s also a hearsay that it ’s tenderize in Milk River .
Vöner
Trust Berlin to have a vegan option for everything – yes , even doner kebabs . take the air into Vöner , and you ’ll still see a rotating kebab , albeit made of mixed seitan , veggies , and soybean repast or else of meat . Despite this , doners come with classic trimmings like iceberg salad and tomatoes , and also not - so - classic side parliamentary procedure like vegan high mallow fries .
