Berlin Doener is good and will appeal to many people. I hay been on the search for the Doener as they serve in various German cities, usually in the areas populated by the Turkish population and other people of Middle Eastern origin in those cities. Colloquially they become known as Arabisches Gyros and are served up with the spice level turned up. I have not been able to find this in the US and still have not; though, they give it the effort at Berlin Doener. I was passing by Berlin Doener one evening and almost kept walking, given I have not been able to find the Doener served up the way they do in Germany. However, I walked in and the two guys working there were as gracious as they could be. They offered me a sample of the lamb and it was like so many other places in the US, but they said they had a spicy sauce and I could see the shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles and pickled red cabbage or radishes. So I opted for the Doener bowl to go and ate it at hit. They gave me an extra to go ramekin of their spicy sauce, along with their white sauce. They shaved the lamb and placed it one container and put the veggies in the other container. They gave me a quarter of the bread round, which is similar to pita, but thicker and fluffier. It warms up nicely when you sprinkle it with water, wrap it up again in its aluminum foil, and warm it in the oven along with the lamb. The lamb is very tender, but not spicy. I needed every bit of the spicy sauce to boost the flavor, but it did not hit me the way I have experienced, but it was a good attempt. They have great service at Berlin Doener and most people who have not had the Doener and Arabisches Gyros in Germany will not know the difference. 3.4 stars read more

Berlin Döner - Outside view of Berlin Doener - Turkish Near Me - New York, New York

Just when I was starting to miss Berlin, this came out of nowhere. Absolutely filling. Didn't really need the fries. Quick, easy and clean. One man running the ship and he's a beast. Small place considering everything around it expensive and fancy. Sometimes you dont need all that extra shit. Good price. Got me full. Suggestion, bring your own drink it's cheaper that way. read more

Berlin Döner - Lamb doner - Turkish Near Me - New York, New York

Absolute best doner I've had outside of Berlin. I honestly want to go back up to NYC for another one. I told myself I'd only eat half of the massive wrap in front of me. 15 minutes later and it was all gone. No regrets. Just a happy belly full of delicious, flavor-packed doner. read more

Went here on Halloween during the parade in the village, the streets were bursting at the seams with people, we wanted a quick bite so we stopped in to Berlin Doner, they have a simple menu consisting of the usual Turkish fast food items you can expect, we got a chicken wrap and beef wrap with all the condiments, pickles, onion, cabbage, white sauce. It was fresh hot and delicious, there were only two people behind the counter but were extremely efficient. You can expect to done $17 for a sandwich and a soda. There's a few chairs to sit inside but we chose to eat on the sidewalk and people watch. read more

Food was excellent. Space is tiny so you may not be able to sit inside but we had been craving döner and it definitely hit the spot.

I'll be honest, this is likely my fault as I came here a day after getting back from Berlin, and having had the best Döner of my life there, I instantly craved it upon landing home. There aren't too many options in the city for Döner that I know of, and I probably came here with unrealistically high expectations, thinking it will be the same quality as Germany. Sadly this place did not hit the spot for me; the bread was stale/hard, meat felt over processed, and generally when it all came together it lacked flavor. The people working there seemed nice regardless. read more

Berlin Döner - Chicken Doner Homemade Bread - Turkish Near Me - New York, New York

I loved this spot. There's many doner kabob spots ard nyc but this is why I liked it. 1. They let us sample the meat to decide between chicken and beef lamb combo 2. They have 3 differ2nt kind of breads. The home made bread is thicker and like a torta Try it 3. Sauces are on point The lamacjun bread was on. More potato than meat I thought read more

Literally one of the best Doner sandwiches I've had. It's always well packed and the beef/lamb combo is actually really good (not chewy at all). The side of the red cabbage is really fresh and the sauces help amp the flavor. This is a very big sandwich btw, so I would normally split it. Hidden small joint if you're craving a halal doner. It also tastes amazing if you pack it to go and warm it at home. read more

Berlin Döner - Beef & lamb Doner Pita - Turkish Near Me - New York, New York

I went here for lunch one day and ordered the chicken doner on the pita and it was really good! The guys working there were very nice and helpful in deciding what to order. We also ordered the kucuk lahmacun as an app and it was really good - it's hard to describe but so good! It's a small place, but they more than make up for that with flavor and friendliness. read more

Though Kebab Express is at the top of the food chain in the Village, Berlin Döner offers what might be the most authentic kebab. One that makes you feel like you're out with your mates in a mid-sized European town. The meat has a nice crust to it, though all accompaniments feel basic compared to Kebab Express. read more

For a post-dinner snack I decided to get a quintessential German street food - doner kebab. I walked into the store on a Friday at 10pm. Counter service seemed fast and minimal; the entire process from entry to paying to receiving my order took less than 5 minutes. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro ($8.75). The establishment did not skimp on meat; half of the doner was strips of beef and lamb, carved straight off the rotating grill. A fluffy pita, choice of vegetables (I got lettuce, tomato, and onion), and choice of sauces (white and red, of course) rounded off the gyro. At this price point, this establishment is hard to pass up. read more

If you miss Berlin kebabs, this place will scratch that itch! Friendly people behind the counter, the bread is freshly toasted just before loading it up with all the fixings! Shocked more people aren't in here on a Saturday night, but they don't know what they're missing! read more

Berlin Döner - Doner Kebab (just like Berlin!) - Turkish Near Me - New York, New York

I've doner lot of things in my life, and one of them is to eat here at Berlin Doner, although during winter months it gets temporarily renamed to Brrrrrrrrr-lin Doner. It's been a long time since the first time I came here. Pretty much as soon as it popped up on MacDougal Street I became a regular customer, because I grew up in Europe eating Doners so often that I must be part Doner by now. They're good people and they make good products. It's never blown me away like some of the British Doners and a few of the German Doners and of course the authentic Istanbul stuff does, and there's much better Turkish kebab out there - for example some of the ones up in Toronto and especially over in Europe as I said - but in this part of town, this is one of the better ones you can get, possibly even the best in Manhattan. And there's the added bonus is that is open incredibly late at night. When you factor all these things in, it simply has to score a very high rating. But it doesn't Take My Breath Away (Berlin). read more

Berlin Döner - I found an organ doner - Turkish Near Me - New York, New York

I consistently go here for lunch. I get a chicken wrap with lettuce tomato and tahini. Very big portions - the wrap is a white tortilla. The price is a little high at $14.10 all in but they do not ask for tips. read more

OMG Alert. The Berlin Diner on Macdougal was absolutely delicious. I went with a chicken schwarma sandwich. So goooood. People are real friendly there as well. It's 2 hrs later and I still taste it. Yummy. I'm in my glory read more

It's not on the menu, but the thing to get is lahmacun with chicken doner. Get that with white sauce. This is the only place I've found in the country that is willing to make it this way. I used to get this as a wrap back in Ansbach Germany. It's really, really good. read more

As incredible as it looks. Beef and chicken cut off the machine and no charge for doing half beef and half chicken. The food absolutely surpassed my expectations. The staff was immensely friendly. It was $9.95 for my meal and although it would have been $5-7 at a food cart the quality surpasses any kind of cart food imaginable. Price: $-$$ depending on your meal! Seating: 10-15 people can easily sit inside. 5 star customer service. Bathrooms: no public restroom TV: Always on in the back! read more

The place was good a month ago. Now it is getting worse and worse First and foremost they just increased the price for couple dollars, and generic lunch cost increased from around $10 to $15. In my opinion it is not worth. Where you can get better sandwich from the same area for cheaper price. Second meat quality was pretty bad on my last try. They try to recycle the meat over and they do not do it properly. They probably left last cooked layer on meat from yesterday. Meat was thick, chewy and old. And this time we found the aluminum piece on meat in picture. Definitely not worth price & quality read more

Extremely poor service. Rude staff behind the counter who made us feel unwelcome from the start. I asked for a combo box with fries and received a plastic container that was 50% fries and neglible meat. When confronted, the server denied anything was wrong. Totally not worth it for the 16 bucks that I was made to pay for that. We left the food back at her counter and left without further argument. I'd skip this and go to any of the other street food places across the street. read more

Good portion, inexpensive, and most importantly juicy and delicious. Way better than what you find on the streets. Had the box with lamb and chicken combo (not on the menu), it was big! Substituted fires for rice. Asked for garlic sauce and curry sauce on the side. Never had curry sauce before, it was a good call, will try the other sauces next time. I'd come back again! read more

The lamb and beef doner here was probably as close to the ones I've had in Istanbul and throughout western europe. The sauces and the meat were totally on point and the homemade bread was great. If anything, the whole thing was overstuffed and incredibly messy so it would almost make more sense to get it as a bowl. But then you'd miss out on that great bread. Life really forces choices on you sometimes. I'll def be back next time I'm in the city to try the chicken. read more

I love their food and their staff!! I was having a really rough day today because school was stressing me out. I saw Berlin Döner while walking home. I decided to give them a try because I was really hungry. When I walked in, they made me feel so much better. They were so welcoming and nice. It's rare to find an establishment that has good food and good service these days. I bought a chicken and beef doner, they HIT THE SPOT!! I also got their baklava which was also AMAZING!! I'm so glad I decided to give them a try! Also, this place is college student friendly (affordable). I am definitely coming back! read more

Pretty good döner and a decent price. Staff is friendly and service is quick. The entrance is a tight squeeze when other customers are waiting around but there's seating in the back. Better deal and service than Kotti. Maybe because the staff here gets paid better and not $10/hr while the owner expects the customer to pay his staffs wages with tip while over charging for the food. read more

people have attitude when they see Asian customer don't treat well and food over prices

delicious!!! amazing food, HUGE portion, great price. was able to make my chicken doner in homemade bread last for 2 full meals. the perfect cheat meal. they prepared the order at lightning speed too. will definitely be back. read more

The best thing to get here without a doubt is the lamb/beef on homemade bread. It is topped generously with veggies and sauce that make the entire thing a miracle for your taste buds. The vibe inside is like a mom and pop shop. Right when you walk in, there are two rotating mounds of meat that get you excited to eat. I would definitely recommend you sit down and eat this because it is quite messy. MESSY BUT DELICIOUS! My only gripe with this place is the price. It is quite expensive for what it is: a sandwich, but if you split it with someone, it is not too wallet emptying. Definitely come here after a night out. read more

Was healthy and cheap but wasn't particularly delicious. The chicken tasted rubbery. I feel bad giving this Turkish place a mediocre review cuz my friend is Turkish but yelp comes before friendship. read more

An extremely high value, low cost meal if you find yourself in Greenwich Village and are looking for a quick bite. I got a chicken doner on pita with all the toppings for $7.95, and it is extremely filling especially because they do not skimp on the meat. It could easily make for 1.5 meals if you really wanted to extend it. I also had my first baklava experience, and it's now one of my favorite desserts. Highly recommend it as well. Service is fast and staff is friendly. read more

Excellent spot. 1) If you are craving Berlin-style Doner. This is the best spot in NYC. 2) Only downside is the price, but, it is in the most expensive area of Manhattan. 3) Overall, great spot. read more

One of my husband's favorite memories of living in Berlin was stumbling out of the clubs at 3 am and indulging in the beautiful messiness of a delicious Shish Doner. So when I happened by this little spot on MacDougal this week after a doctor's appointment I decided to bring him home a little treat for dinner. WOW! Their sandwiches are amazing. First - the bread, the wonderful traditional Turkish bread that is so much more toothsome and delightful for this kind of sandwich. Unlike regular pita, their bread has amazing chew and holds up for a long time when you're eating it. The choices are simple - but very fresh. I got the Falafel and I chose the Lamb for my husband. My husband was so tickled that I picked this up for him - but was even more delighted when he ate it. The veggies were crisp and fresh, the meat flavorful and tender. It was a messy bit of joy that transported him back to his college years. The two women working there (mother and daughter, perhaps) were so nice and friendly. It's been a rough time for small businesses like theirs, but they haven't let their quality or service slip in the slightest. Please treat yourself to one of their doners next time you're in the village. If you go easy on the white sauce - you can't find a more fresh and healthy spot of lunch or dinner. read more

Ohhhh mahhhhh gooodness. Come here only if you're willing to walk away stuffed and ridiculously happy. Ordered the chicken Doner with all the fixings -- personal favorite was the sweet and spicy red sauce and French fries (INSIDE). Make sure to order with the homepage bread-- it does make it slightly more difficult to eat it but it makes allllll the difference. The owner was super nice and friendly. Also the meat is halal if anyone is wondering. 10/10 would highly recommend. read more

Berlin Döner - Chicken Doner Homemade Bread - Turkish Near Me - New York, New York

Good, not great. Awesome that it's open late and I love MacDougal Street. The chicken doner though was incredibly salty and a bit ratty to the taste (a little old tasting?), and the bread was tough and chewy (in a bad way). It was doused in creamy sauce which seemed like a taste copout. It's my first doner sandwich, so perhaps it's just not my thing. read more
