Rüyam absolutely lived up to the hype and served the best döner kebab I had in Berlin. In fact, it…read morewas so good that I ended up visiting both of their locations during my trip! The Gemüse Kebab with everything was phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The combination of perfectly seasoned meat, fresh vegetables, and their delicious bread made every bite memorable. I also tried the falafel roll, which was equally impressive. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and it's easily one of the best-value meals in the city. There's usually a short wait, but the ordering system is well organized with a display board showing when your order is being prepared and ready for pickup. The restaurant offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, including shared tables that add to the casual, lively atmosphere. It's also open until midnight, making it a perfect late-night stop, though keep in mind they can sell out of certain items closer to closing time. If you're in Berlin, Rüyam is an absolute must-visit. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had, and I'd return in a heartbeat.

Dude this place is crazy legit! It's the real deal and totally amazing. Great tasty sesame pita,…read morewith shaved chicken mixed with bits of potato and eggplant with hummus and chili sauce with lots of fresh veg. Together it's a perfect complement and vessel for yumminess! They have decent indoor and outdoor seating. Cash only though!

Vegan kebaps are a big thing in Berlin…read more These come in two designs. While some establishments serve both, it is not uncommon to have a kebap place to have one version but not the other. The two versions are: 1) Serve a kebap made of seitan Often there will be a sign in front of the restaurant specifying both vegan and seitan. 2) Serve a non-meat kebap adding vast amounts of grilled vegetables to the sandwich. Here the code word is Gemuse as in Gemuse Kebaps. Gemuse means vegetables. Seitan or vegetables, you can't go wrong either way. * * * Gemuse Kebap and Friends is in the second school. No Seitan appears on their menu. For the record, no beef appears on their menu either. Your choices are chicken in various forms, falafel, grilled halloumi cheese, and simple vegetables straight up. Their product is outstanding. I had a halloumi cheese kebap (with a ton of vegetables). My wife had an all gemuse kebap - vegetables being the name of the game. * * * Both sandwiches were outstanding. The vegetables involved were tomatoes, onions and insanely good peppers. (The North Sea coast grows some of the best sweet red peppers on the planet. Most of those peppers come from the Dutch side.) There were sauces on the sandwich, but basically what was carrying both versions was the vegetables being copious and seriously seriously good. For what it is worth, grilled halloumi cheese is bland comfort food. The cheese picks up some of the taste of the grill. But mostly the cheese just adds heft and protein. Heft and protein are good things. * * * A lot of kebap places are real hole in the wall places. The interiors are modest, occasionally bordering on the grungy. You sit outside on folding chairs. Gemuse Kebap and Friends has better real estate. It has two "shop slots" rather than one - not a rarity but always welcome. You can sit indoors in a setting not unlike a good fast food place. And if you absolutely positively have to sit outdoors rather than indoors, There are tables on the sidewalk where you can eat too. * * * Overall, a first rate place. Is this a place for destination dining with your most important business client? In that case, you want some place fancier. But if you and a bunch of friends want to drink beer and eat well while goofing around, I recommend Gemuse Kebap and Friends enthusiastically.

Had a wonderful late night chicken kebap here. Pocket was delightfully warm, crispy and chewy…read more Chicken was seasoned wonderfully. They offer you various fillings and veg to adjust to your liking. One of the best I've had. Very friendly service as well.
