    Updating my review since I came here to eat in person. As suspected, eating here is the way to go. I have had Berlin on my list of places to try in person and it did not disappoint. Restaurant is pretty small with 2 tables inside and shared seating outside. The employees were all super friendly. I ordered the sandwich this time because I saw someone else order it and it looked very tasty with chicken and original sauce. The doner came out fairly quickly. The inside was exactly how I remembered it. The meat was generous and tender. The veggies were fresh. Everything was so much better when I ate it there. Also, the bread was nice crunchy. Definitely this doner should be eaten there for the full experience. I am definitely going to come back here next time my doner craving hits. A few logistics, there's a small lot for parking but I can see it getting crowded during peak time. And no restroom inside.

    Doner Sandwich. Kabob tasted like space hydrogenated chicken. Also weird taste.

    Horrible. Absolute trash. One of the worst middle-eastern style sandwiches and the first and last time I order anything doner or Turkish style pita breaded sandwich probably ever. What a joke. I have no idea what I deserved to get such terrible quality but here goes: I ordered the chicken kabob style 'classic doner sandwich' with fries. Truly absolutely disgusting. I've never had hydrogenated chicken breast, but it was quite leathery and had zero flavor . No salt. No pepper. No spices . Tasted like old jerked shoe leather space hide meant for Apollo missions. I mean it tasted like imitation 'veggie' chicken meat, but it wasn't . Taste was that bizarre. Fries were no better. Over cooked, and tasted like it had been sunbathing under the lamp for hours. À horrid experience . I cannot believe for the life of me that Berlins has like over a thousand reviews with an aggregate 4.5 stars. Success must be going to the chefs head !

    Stopped by Berlins German Doner on a Tuesday afternoon for a quick snack and had a great experience. The place is casual but clean, and the service was extremely friendly. You order at the counter, and while the menu is limited, the food really delivers. We tried the Doner Box with beef--super tasty meat, extra crispy fries, and flavorful sauces that tied everything together. Great spot for a satisfying bite. Will definitely be back!

    Doner meat

    NEGATIVE -5 out of 5 ! If you want dry not juicy old doner meat and chicken this is the place HORRIBLE FOOD UNEATABLE Meat is horrible and dry no flavor Chicken dry no flavor Rice horrible sitting around all day They forgot my second sauce Very bad experience never again

    Donar beef and lamb , drink and fries. About 20 dollars with tip . A good value, and a delicious sandwich. I've come here enough to fill up several cards with the stamps. I'm never disappointed.

    I come to Berlin's all the time because my barbershop is in the same plaza. Almost every time I get a haircut, I end up grabbing a sandwich here--it's become a routine. Mateas and Luis are the best. They're respectful, fast, and genuinely know how to take care of customers. I've even seen them give free sides like French fries when orders take longer than expected, which shows real appreciation and good service. I usually get the chicken wrap or the doner with house sauce, hot, and spicy. I'm not personally a fan of lamb, but a lot of people love it, so it's worth trying. The chicken, though, is a must.

    We just revisited Berlin's and found it to be as delicious as ever! We ordered the Chicken Doňer Wrap and kept wanting me. Very flavorful. The shop was spotless and inviting. The two male employees (Saturday early evening) were very nice and welcoming. We drove a distance from the South Bay just for Berlin's! We'll be back, of course, but wish you opened another location down in the beach cities. We'd be your best customers! Great food!

    Came here on a Thursday evening around 6 to grab dinner. It's impossible to find Berliner-style döner kebab in the US, so I have to try it when I see it. It's a small shop with limited seating and the folks working there were incredibly friendly. I put in an order at the counter for the beef and lamb Döner sandwich with feta and the spicy sauce as well as a side of pita and garlic aioli. The flavor was a thing of beauty, I haven't had anything as good as this since my first time having Berliner-style döner in 2014 in Europe. It tasted so good that I went back and put in an order for a chicken Döner sandwich with feta and spicy sauce. This one was also incredible. So glad I came here and will definitely seek it out again the next time I'm in LA. Highly, highly, highly recommend coming here!

    Doner Rice Bowl

    Don't quite know what to make of this place. Food is fresh and bright and tasty, but a bit above normal market prices. I ate my whole rice bowl in one sitting (chipotle usually lasts me 2). For $20 it's just not a substantial amount of food. Don't know if it was just a lacking day lol. Service staff are great, keep it clean, very prompt and professional. Also why is it named and classified German?! Maybe i'm uneducated here but it didn't taste German at all! Enjoyed it though. Still would come back though, simply because the food tastes real and clean. It's worth the price for the quality upgrade here in my opinion.

    Lamb and beef combo is the best. Juicy, spiced right, never dry-just perfection in every wrap.
    David K.

    Five stars! Berlins' donor sandwiches are legit delicious-always fresh, packed with flavor, and consistent since way before COVID. Never had a bad bite here. Keep killing it!

    Can you make a lighter bbq sauce that is vegan and has no Mayo? What are the lightest sauces available? They all seem heavy although it claims to be low calorie

    The chef special and the tzatziki sauce have only 10% mayo in them. The main base for all sauces is yogurt. Tahini has no mayo and the sambal sauce also has 0 mayo.

    Is the doner meat a mix of beef and lamb or is it 100% lamb or beef?

    It is beef and a touch of lamb.

    Hi, is there oil in the cabbage?

    No there is not. Thank you for the lovely review.

    Is this place's meat kosher or halal?

    It’s is halal.

    Are there any plans to open one in DTLA?

    Do you not serve ketchup?

    Yes they do!

    Is there one in northcal?

    Hi Dee. Currently we only have BERLINS in SoCal

    Are your meats halal slaughtered? When you say that they are halal, do you only mean "no pork"?

    Hello. All our meats are Halal slaughtered. We have a Halal certificate on all our meat skewers that we can show you. We have a Turkish butcher.

    Is the food halal?

    Yes all our meat is halal

It was also about 45 minutes before closing and I HATE being a before-closing person, but I was ordering a cold sandwich so I figured at least I wasn't making anyone fire anything up. I couldn't decide between the Di Parma and Verona. They asked if we were sharing, we said yes, so they recommended the Di Parma. There's outdoor seating but it's too busy of a street for me to enjoy being out there. Also inside has AC. It's so fucking hot in LA right now that this sandwich might actually save your life. The handmade burrata makes the whole thing super refreshing. I did end up taking out some of the arugula and pistachios because it started feeling like a little too much was going on in there, but after that it was exactly what I wanted. So yeah, during this heat, if you can find parking--or for some reason you're walking around outside in this shit--stop and get a refreshing sandwich.

Yes, I know, we all wanna be skinny like those beautiful French girls... ;) But Sometimes.... You've gotta just ignore social norms and say F it! F is for French! lol Yeah, sometimes you've gotta just exclaim: "I'm gettin' the Burger and I'm most DEFINITELY getting the Fries!" And nobody and I mean Nobody is going to stop me! Yeah, that was me and my mindset when I was out at the Beverly Center back in August. Hey! It was lunch. I was hungry. & Nicolas Eatery was there to handle all my needs. And just like Napoleon Bonaparte would have done... I strolled in, I walked straight to the bar top, sat down, placed my napkin in my lap, ordered a burger, a side of fries and of course L.A's FINEST tap water. And just like that, instead of following trends... I was setting them! So what did I get you ask?? Le Beverly Burger of course!! This alongside their perfectly fried French fries which you know I dipped in Ketchup... Yes, I know, so American of me! =) Sadly, my only mistake I made on this day... I should have ordered my favorite French Beer, 1664 Kronenbourg.... Damn! But Lance, this Mall is so crazy, where the heck do I go?? Nicolas Eatery is located on Level 6, or "six" in French (Fun Fact: spelled the same, sounds totally different) and trust, my French is No Good! If you're able to snag a window seat, you will get a clear view of Los Angeles and the Hollywood Sign in the distance. Of course I went with the Burger, but trust, this place has more than just French Fries. -French Baguette with Butter -French Onion Soup -French Omelette But if want to drink like the French do... You know they've got a little vin (wine) or you can go with the classic French 75 cocktail. So, to this ai say: Be like the French. Eat like the French. Drink... Like the French and come start your own La Révolution! But instead of storming Bastille, storm Beverly Center and demand your freedom to order whatever the hell you choose from Nicolas Eatery! And after you're done, walk out proudly singing Viva La France!!!

The restaurant is billed as French-Vietnamese and previously offered pho and related fare but did not have these options on our visit.

I got the Ahi Tuna burger ($18), a substantial slab of Ahi Tuna steak on a bun with a wasabi mayo and paired with perfectly crispy, well salted frites ($5). We also got the French lobster roll ($26) a decent, but not groundbreaking, sandwich with a spicy sauce. One of our children got the tomato soup ($10) which was phenomenal - creamy and tomatoey - and paired well with grilled cheese. The cafe was clean and positioned with a great view; service was good too, with the waitress making suggestions and accommodating our children's special requests. Prices, as listed above, were excellent for the quality and quantity of food provided in an otherwise quite expensive area. More Parisien then Indochine, Nicholas deserves the unusually high rating it commands for the area. If you're in the Beverly Center and looking for a quality, high-value meal, Nicholas est la meilleur choix. Magnifique! Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5

FOOD Bubble Waffle with Pistachio Gelato (5.5/5): Omg! I didn't know they have egg waffle here as well. It's a classic Hong Kong street food that I grew up with, you don't really see it around. The egg waffle is tasty, it doesn't taste bland and not overly seasoned (it has the egg custard-y taste, not too sweet), and it has a light crisp outside. I had a gelato to pair with it. The pistachio flavor is yummy, it has chopped pistachio nuts inside so the texture is rich. If you have a sweet tooth, pair it with a scoop of gelato, they compliment each other well. *finish the gelato first so it doesn't make the egg waffle loose it's crisp Pastrami Brisket Sandwich (5/5): They recommended me the Pastrami Brisket Sandwich and the prosciutto one, I haven't had lunch so I went with the pastrami- it was good. The bread is pretty soft and it's decently portioned, you could share the sandwich. It's a simple sandwich that's healthy and flavourful, you don't feel heavy after eating it. I like that it's not messy to eat (not overly saucey)! They hold the fillings with the little wooden sticks. AMBIENCE Sitting is spacious and clean, it's at the corner of the mall so it's not too crowded. There is enough space to put your shopping bags if you're trying to grab a quick bite around. Service is quite decent, the staff recommended the right stuff. It didn't take a long time for the food to be ready, good for grab and go. OVERALL I think it's a casual spot that serves healthy quick bites, it's a good option to sit down after or in between a shopping spree.

It doesn't matter if you're working at a small coffee shop inside the Beverly Hills mall or at Tiffany & Co...people want to feel welcomed. She's young and seems like she has a lot of potential, but she comes across as unfriendly and uninterested. A simple smile, greeting, or even a warmer attitude would completely change the experience. I hope management gives her a little coaching because it would make a big difference. I won't return.

It was VERY close! The bread is excellent and the cheese and meat are clearly selected with INCREDIBLE intention. The only problem is that the bread is huge and has a taste unto itself that is really good! Why a problem? Because the cheese was not sharp enough to penetrate the bread flavor and the meat was not deep enough to do the same. This was a (delicious) bread first sandwich. I like my sandwiches to be ingredient forward-facing. This is a me thing. You may absolutely adore this place. My friends got the tuna and I wish I had got that. So fresh and light. With the price, I didn't feel like asking for a "re-do," but I chose wrong haha I will try this place again and get something with less bread dominance. This is still 9.2/10 sandwich....I just happen to eat 30+ sandwiches at restaurants every year. The pasta? Super good! There were 4 of us so I stole some bites. Definitely try if you aren't use to AUTHENTIC European sandwiches. You're in for a treat.
