If you didn't eat a kebab in Berlin, did you even go? its the most iconic food in Berlin. And i was…read moreon the hunt to find the best. I tried 6+ different spots and ruyam was by far the best. Came here on a Thursday at ~11am (to avoid the lunch rush) and it was jam packed with students and working professionals. Luckily the staff here are super efficient yet patient with customers. It's self-service. You order at the counter and they'll call out your number. Many claimed their seats before ordering, which id recommend as there are only ~15 tables inside. Once I ordered, food was ready in ~5min. And it was huge! A fresh flatbread slathered with a delicious garlic sauce and stuffed with warm juicy chicken kebab sliced fresh off the spit and fresh salad mix. The thought of this kebab sandwhich is making me drool. The toppings were almost falling out because of how much they stuffed in. Probably one of the best bites I had in Berlin! And for €8, it was a steal! When I went it was not crowded and typical. The staff mentioned it's usually a 40-60 min wait with lines out the door.

Al-Andalos is located in the busy part of Neukölln, right on Sonnenallee. On a Saturday night at 10 p.m., it was full to the rim. No seats, stressed out staff, people fight for seats and the spot in the line to get the delicious food. We ordered the Al-Andalos platter for two (meat) for 11 EUR, which comes with an entire package of Arabic/Lebanese bread. We were barely able to finish the entire plate, there are many tasty things on this plate and even my companion that night, who is generally not so quickly to impress, admitted that it was probably the best he has eaten in a long time. Fresh, tasty, large portions and fair prices. Staff is super friendly and attentive! I think I will have to drive out to Neukölln more often!

A chain of very good kebap places…read more We ate at the Imren Grill in Neukolln. Neukolln is a heavily Turkish neighborhood which is gentrifying. Outside of two shopping malls, most of the street commercial establishments are old school Turkish. There literally must be a dozen kebap grills within two blocks of Imren, Including a vegan one next door. The other kebap places had modest numbers of customers. (Modest in some cases meant none.) There was a crowd and a line at Imren. The crowd is half Turkish and half German families. The crowd is impressive given the large number of competing places that don't have many customers. Imren also gets the approval of both the Turkish residents of old Neukolln and the German residents of new Neukolln. That Imren is good is a major consensus point. * * * Imren really IS excellent. I had a durum which is kebap in a wrap rather than on bread. Durum is a hell of an easier way to eat kebap. Kebap can often be overflowing and messy when served on pita bread. At least one cooking secret of Imren is a superior spicy sauce inside the sandwich. At Imren, It is not so much that the spicy sauce is spicy. (Its not.) It is that the sauce is acidic. The acid cuts any fat or grease in the kebap and makes the dish tangy. The sandwich was intoxicating. * * * I did not get very much chance to enjoy my kebap. The place is small. The front has just enough room for the line, the counter and the kitchen where they fix your food. The back room is kind of "cheap tiny apartment in an older building." There is barely enough space for six compact tables and an equal number of stools against the wall. Whole families eat there. An army of people are in line. You hope you get a table after you get your food. You eat knowing that a whole corridor of people want your table. Eat fast and move on. * * * There are other places in Berlin where you can linger over your kebap, The most common lingering arrangement is a table on the sidewalk often with beer from a convenience store to make the occasion last. I am not much of a drinker of beer on folding chairs on sidewalks. However, if you want to linger, you can probably find a kebap place as good as Imren, Given that there must be over a thousand kebap places in the city. But you will have to do just a whole lot of looking. * * * There are some very odd negative reviews if you read the other reviews on Yelp. a) Some Yelpers don't like the fact that the staff is brusque. The staff IS brusque. They serve long lines on their feet all day while also having to do a lot of the cooking. They are under constant pressure to put out the food put out the food put out the food. They don't have time to chat and they don't have time for dillydallying. Give them your order and move on. There are people behind you. b) One Yelper claims Imren is a tourist trap - which he knows because he was born in Berlin. If he was born in Berlin, is he aware that Neukolln is NOT a tourist area? The tourists go to Mitte, and Museum Island and to the Brandenburg gate. No one is going to the Turkish residential areas. * * * Imren has its fans and supporters on Yelp. I would be more inclined to pay attention to the positive reviews.

Imren is the reason why 1 star review exist. Have you ever been scammed or went to a tourist trap?…read more I am a native berliner. Born and raised and this place is a disgrace. They spent tons of money in marketing and pay merchandise and YouTubers to promote their shitty spot. Why is it that bad? 1) For 4€ - the portions are almost just bread. I laughed when I received my Döner. Like seriously? 2) The taste - don't be fooled. Berliner Döner are way better than this. 3) Hygiene- we all love when the person serving you using his hands to do all the shit. Overall. I am very disappointed by Imren in all areas and disappointed by everyone who seriously promotes this place.

I live across the street from this place and for 5.50 euro, you can get a small bottled soda, an order of fries (hit or miss. Sometimes the fries are tasty but sometimes they can be kind of gross. Proceed with caution), and a perfectly sized chicken doner kebap with all the trimmings. Trimmings include regular salad, tomato and cucumber mix, and parsley and onion mix. On top of that, they add a sprinkling of cheese (!!!!) which I've never seen anywhere else, and a squirt of lemon. For 5.50 I'd say this is a pretty good deal. I've seen the same menu deal elsewhere for cheaper but it doesn't hit the quality of Gemuse Kebap. Again, I do live across the street so I've been here a few times (a few = 20+) and have never had a funky sandwich (I am a HUGE freak when it comes to food textures; if something is funky, I can't eat it) but if someone can recommend a chicken doner that is BETTER than Gemuse Kebap on Hermanstrasse, let me know!!!!

The meat is tender and flavorful; it's definitely fresh, since you see them slice it right off. Also, the blend of the veggies, meat, and sauces meld so perfectly in this dish. Price & Portion: 10/10 It's 5 euros for an entire meal!! The kebap was very filling for me. However, if you want even more food, you can get the doner, which is slightly bigger. Service: 8/10 They were very fast and friendly! They speak English here, so don't be afraid if you don't speak any German. Ambience: 5/10 It's definitely more of a casual/fast vibe. The place is pretty small, with a couple of stools lining the sides and a couple tables outside. You can eat inside, but it's not a great place for large groups.

The menu is very simple: chicken doner kebab, vegetarian doner kebab, or dürüm kebab. The main…read moredifference between a doner kebab and a dürüm kebab is the type of bread used to hold the meat. A doner kebab is served in a pocketed bread, while a dürüm kebab is served with a thin wrap rolled around the same ingredients. I ordered the chicken doner kebab. They accept credit cards. The chicken was somewhat salty (1 star off), but the veggies and sauces were tasty. The bread was buttered and toasted, so it had a nice crunch. The doner kebab was big and messy to eat. I wished they offered a larger paper wrapper. There was no seating, so you have to eat it while walking on the street like a savage or pick one of the dirty street benches out front to camp out at. Dürüm is neater and more portable, so you might consider that option if you're self-conscious. Tip: Grab several paper towels from the counter with your kebab *before* you get sauce and grease all over your face.

Everything was drizzled with tahini, which added an unctuous, earthy flavor to every bite, and while everything on the platter was delicious, I especially liked the flavors added by the toum and chili sauce.
