located in Kensington market. I've always passed by this spot whenever I walk around the area. I finally got to try it! It was packed with lots of chicken and the sauce that was drizzled into it made it really flavourful. Overall, I would come back and try more things on their menu such as their veal and lamb doner.
A main establishment in the culinary diverse area that is the Kensington market. Otto's brings a germain flair to the area by offering currywursts and doners. I've been to this place a couple times and they have been consistent with their boxes. Would definitely recommend for tourist and locals! Halloumi box - Although not a doner, halloumi is a middle eastern cheese I've fallen in love with recently. It has a chewy tough bouncy texture and very salty flavour. This is contrasted with the crispiness and fluffiness of the fries. In terms of flavour you have the saltiness from the cheese and a mix of mayo and hot sauce. A small box was sufficient for me as the fried ingredients made it super heavy. My friend had the lamb box. Lamb was tasty (maybe too salty as you want the lamb flavour to come out as well). At the end there was a lot of oil remaining in the bottom of the lamb box, so it would be even more heavy. Passionfruit lychee slushie - Worked really well as a summer drink and counteracted the heaviness from the fries and cheese. The ice in the slushie is very interesting as its not very fine, instead it was rather chunky and round making it feel like a peculiar texture. The big chunks also meant that as you drink from the straw, you get more of the juice than the ice, so I'd recommend consuming with a fork. This establishment is on the pricey side and on the heavy side, so its less of a regular affair. For me, it is a once in a while kinda thing, but I would highly recommend!
Surprisingly, it's quite hard to find german doner around Toronto but Otto's knocks it out of the park. When put in the same class as other fast casual bowl eats, it's definitely near the top. I've only ever ordered delivery from here, but the portions are solid for the higher price, and the taste is delicious. Hoping I can come back here in person one day for the full experience!
Oh I love Otto's one of my fav doner places and it's located right at Kensington Market. I've been here a few times and this is the first time I opted for the vegan/vegetarian version. I got the gemuse box, which is eggplant and veggies and my partner got the haloumi doner. It looks just as good as it tastes. However, I did find my gemuse box (eggplant and veggies) left me a bit peckish afterwards. My box was mixed with fries. The doner may be a better option because it comes with the breading that may keep you fuller. I'm not vegetarian, but I think some vegan/vegetarian-friendly protein doner style options would be great to make the meal more filling. I had no issues with it being filling when I order the meat versions in the past.
Even worst than I remember! I came here about five years ago and despite the high rating but I was not impressed. But today I figured I wanted something new so I would tried agian. And it was a lot more worst. I ordered and I was surprised that it was ready within a few min. But I found out why. It way too salty and the chicken was not fresh. Like some restaurants who hire lazy employees they would cut the chicken the chicken from the spit and leave it there till a new order then reheat it. When I ate it it was barely warm and the fries were also not fresh. Maybe from another order? There is not enough veggies or sauce to have different flavour. This is really bad. Think they just stopped proper training and proper quality control. Just disgusting. Don't even waste your time and money. Worst meal I had in months or this year and I eat out often.
//5 stars for great food Quick and filling. What else would you need from a restaurant? It's a Doner restaurant with a ode to German cuisine. Like most kebab restaurants it caters mostly for take-outs and deliveries. However, they have some tables available to consume there - it is a small establishment. Their menu has Doner, Teller or bratwurst for main entrée - depending on your liking. I got the small Lamb teller on salad with yogurt and hot sauce to mimic the kebab trucks in NYC. I highly recommend the small serving as it filled me up for the rest of the day of walking. The meat was greatly seasoned, the yogurt balanced out the hot sauce. As you can see from the picture posted, the size of the box is small but it's packed with food. The salad was fresh and helped fulfill the whole dish. I recommend this choice. It took approximately 5-10 minutes to get my take-away. They give you paper napkin and fork. This is a great choice for a quick lunch if you're about to walk and explore the city.
This German street food place has a relatively small menu, with doner kebab (and variants) and currywurst only. They do have many types of alcohol - beer, cider and wine, which sets them apart from the competition. Got the Chicken Doner. You probably shouldn't bother with the fries option, since they're stuffed into the doner instead of served separately (which among other things means they get soggy very fast). The meat was very good - very fragrant & pretty moist, and the bread was nice and crispy. The doner was light on the sauces, though. That said, this place is pretty pricey for what you get, and you can get other good doners for less. While the paper holder for the doner (just like what you'd get in Germany, or indeed much of Europe) is a nice touch, it doesn't quite justify the price.
If you're looking for an authentic Berlin-style döner, look no further than Otto's Berlin Döner! The döner here is made with thinly sliced beef, lamb or chicken, and is served on a soft, fluffy pita bread with plenty of fresh vegetables and a delicious yogurt sauce. The beef döner is my personal favourite - it's so flavourful and juicy, and the yogurt sauce really ties everything together. The lamb döner is also very good, and the chicken döner is a great option if you're looking for something a bit lighter. The service at Otto's is always friendly and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Otto's Berlin Döner - it's the best döner in town!
Wow, first time trying it and so glad I did!!! The pita is amazing. Just get everything in the chicken doner. It'll be messy but it'll be worth it. The price is a little more than expected, they should make it a meal with a drink. There are 3 tables inside and tables outside on a patio. Great service and food comes out quick! There's parking at Kensington just FYI but it's always busy and rammed... So good luck!
SO GOOD. Nothing I've ever had before but it was so filling and sooo tasty. I got it with chicken and my boyfriend got it with lamb with all possible toppings. The bread on the outside was almost like pita and warm and soft. The inside was so full of flavor, and pretty garlicky but in a good way. They also had a lot of options for real German beers. read more

*** This is a rating for 2.5 stars *** I had the lamb and veal döner while my fiancé had the chicken. We originally wanted one combo between the two of us, but at prime dinner time (6:30pm) they had NO FRIES and had no idea how long it would take to make a few batch. I understand that it's still in the opening week, but still... really? The overall taste of my döner was there, I had gotten 2/3 sauces (garlic and yogurt) and thought it was quite tasty. My fiancé felt like both his bread and chicken were overdone as it was chewy and rubbery. (He had gotten the hot sauce and garlic sauce which added a nice flavour.) Pricing was alright, perhaps a bit steep, but it's not enough food for dinner. Overall, the service was very slow since they're still getting the hang of things. I personally wouldn't go back. read more

Fammmmmm....so take this in real quick. Mans came in the office for Friday and because my workplace is blessaz we get free lunch on that day. All we have to do is put in an order four days before. BUT TAKE THIS IN THOOOO, MANZ FORGOT TO ORDER. HOLD UP THO CAUSE THIS IS WHERE IT GETS CRAZY. Our lit office assistant notified me that she purchased an extra Veal and Lamb Doner Teller for the office crew. A look of joy was placed upon my face when I heard the news. Then I took a bite....Yelp Users believe me when I say, this %$^# straight slapped B. Meat all tender, sauce all A1. I was feeling it still. Toronto manz haven't been so happy since Kawhi hit that game-winner in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. Would give 11 and a half starz if this waste site would allow me. read more

Otto's Berlin Döner is tucked away on the busy strip of shops along Augusta Ave in Kensington Market. I'm fairly certain that this purveyor of German street food is the first of its kind in the city, or at least the newest and most popular. For those not familiar, Döner is quite similar to Gyros, except that it's served on flatbread as opposed to a pita. Must-try items: Veal & Lamb Teller Fries & Salad (Side) The atmosphere here is quite laid back, with limited seating available inside and a few more tables on the front patio outside. Drink offerings include sodas, beer, and cocktails, which you'll need to wash down your delicious meal with. Staff members are polite and friendly and their chosen selection of music (techno) pulsates through the air, setting a relaxed mood throughout the space. Otto's is a combination of fast food convenience with a lounge-like atmosphere. I'm a huge fan of this place and after a long while between visits, I'll be back to try more, especially the currywurst which is one of their specialties. read more

I don't understand the great reviews that this place has. It's another place that Yelpers speak highly of but my experience doesn't reflect that. I came, with my daughter, for lunch today. I've missed eating any type of doner, since moving to Canada. Doner meat to me, is juicy and well seasoned. The meats here are dry, under seasoned and cut into tiny bits. We ordered the small chicken teller and the veal/beef teller too. We ordered them both with salad and all the sauces. The reason why you need all the sauces is because the meats are tasteless. The serving size is also laughable, it's a side salad size but at a main salad price. Meat was very skimpy. We also got a small Currywurst with fries. The fries are crunchy, in small bits and salty. The bratwurst was quite good but again, it had so much sauce on it, you couldn't really taste the sausage itself. I'd return for the Currywurst but with less sauce but I wouldn't recommend the teller boxes. For the price, quality and size, they aren't worth it. My quest for good doner meat, in Toronto, continues. read more

Perfect Balance of what you want in a meal. Crispy fries, refreshing salad, a good amount of veal and lamb and the right amount of sauce. This place has the right balance of flavours. I enjoyed every bite. The curry ketchup was a great touch as well. This place just offered something different and it is just what I needed! read more

Went to Otto's today and although I wasn't 100% sold (hence my rating), there is a lot of potential for this place to be a 4/5 star rating. The good things: - the place is conveniently situated on one of the main streets in Kensington market - clean and quirky restaurant with a nicely streamlined menu - friendly service - great-tasting chicken doner - the aoli sauce makes for a fantastic doner The 'could be better' things: - the place is small - you will be hard pressed getting a spot to sit on weekends and eating this doner 'on-the-go' is not ideal as they are big in size - the amount of meat in our doner didn't do the $10 that we paid justice (more meat please!) That said, because the taste was so good, we will be back to try it again. :) read more

Was our first time being here and I had their Doner chicken Teller. It was pretty good with all the sauces and the hot sauce balanced well with the garlic and yogurt sauces. My bf really liked the fact they had rarely sold German beer on tap and in cans since he can't find them in many places here in Toronto. Defs want to go back for the Halloumi and the fries. FYI tho, washrooms are gross. Would've given 4 stars but had to take off one for the washrooms. read more

I've been on a quest, ever since I lived in Germany years ago, to find true doner kebap. Without going back to Germany that is. Otto's Berlin doner is as close as I've gotten. And it's absolutely delicious. But it's still not my perfect doner. Here's what they get right: First, the meat. The chicken has the right flavor and texture. It has crispy edges and moist interior. Second, the sauces. It has both the requisite white and red sauce, which is often where other attempts flounder and fail. The biggest problem for me is that the raw veggies lack any seasoning. The best doner I had in Germany always had more pickled veggies. That type added an extra kick of flavor that plain raw veggies lack. Finally, the bread. It's hard for me to opine on this. It was tasty and worked really well. But it was different than my personal ideal doner. Then again, I ate my doner in a different part of Germany, and I expect that regional variation accounts for the difference. If you've been craving doner, otto's will help you get your fix. And if you've heard people rave about doner for years after return from a visit to Germany, you'll start to understand finally what all of the fuss is about. read more

What a great tasting Doner, was expecting the perfect presentation of food from just looking at some of the pics, but unfortunately the cooks are getting careless and sloppy. The service was slow and I had wait for 3 others to get served before my beers were ready. I think they just need to be re-staffed or retrained. They apparently dont know who owns the place either. read more
Food: Happy to see a vegetarian option at a German place! I had the vegetarian gemues doner teller with half couscous, half salad. It seemed light on the roasted veggies and heavy on the couscous, but the sauces were flavourful with just the right amount of kick. Atmosphere: More of a fast food, quick serve vibe, but good for a casual quick bite with some bright and cheery decor. read more
Checked out this spot for lunch on a weekday. We came around 1pm and it was relatively quiet without any lines, which was lovely. I ordered the vegan Gemuse Donner Teller with half salad and couscous, and really liked that there was a dairy-free alternative of the yogourt sauce on hand. Despite being veggie-only, the donner teller was super rich, tasty and filling. A fantastic healthy option to the traditional meat version. For $10 I was happy & full, and this girl can't ask for much more than that. Also dug that despite sticking around for an hour or so after finishing our meal, no one hassled us about moving our butts. Nifty Note: There are German beer options for those who might want a brew with their lunch as well. read more

Pros: filling, fresh, affordable, delicious, quick, casual atmosphere & perfect location (kensington market). Cons: none. I had the chicken teller with fries ($9) - the garlic aioli and yogurt sauce were to die for - I've got to copy that recipe! Everything is topped with some fresh and tasty onions, cabbage and herb mix. Next time I'll be getting the chicken with half fries and half salad - I could not finish the box by myself. Will most definitely return. read more

Small but really nice atmosphere. Big portions and delicious food. I'd highly recommend getting the haloumi sticks! Staff were quite nice as well. I'd definitely go back. read more

Update. Otto's apologized and reached out. They also fully credited my order! Updated my star rating to reflect this good service. I will try them again. Not impressed. We ordered 2 boxes and both came without any sauce or feta (paid extra as well!). I get it that sh@t happens, but on both? To top it off I forwarded my Foodora receipt along with pics of what we got to Otto's email and never even got a response. read more
Ducking into Otto's on a rainy Thursday was a treat. We had the chicken döner, the veal & lamb teller box with fries, and the currywurst on salad. Service was fast and the portions were filling. The fries were my favourite - a super crispy and addicting base for flavourful döner meat and sauces. Their curry is sweet and mild enough for spice-adverse peeps. Otto's space is bright and cozy, with indoor seating for about 20 people max. They also have a patio out front that seems like prime real estate for Kensington people watching when the weather is better. Definitely worth a repeat visit! read more
This place is oozing contemporary charm. It's got the neon lighting and the clean gray and white and wood throughout the establishment. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The patio is small but inviting and the interior is equally as relaxing, especially with the window opened up. We popped by for a quick snack. As we were looking for something small, we got the Chicken Teller to share. It's like a German Poutine? We got half fries and half garden salad, as well as all the sauces (youghurt, hot sauce and x). I found the food to be a bit too salty for my liking, but I can see the appeal, especially paired with after work drinks. I would go back to try more of the food out. One more thing to check out: the washrooms! They've got disco washrooms, definitely a fun perk! read more
One of my favourite cheap eats in Toronto. Otto Berlin Doner is always a good excuse for me to go to Kensington Market. Their haloumi cheese is the best thing in this world. Their fries with that garlic sauce are also oh so delicious. Before heading out, make sure to visit their bathroom and hit that button! read more

First time trying Döner. I ordered a chicken and my friend ordered a vegetarian. The chicken kebab is a bit salty but i like the yogurt herb sauce. Portion size is pretty big. No WiFi available. The cashier is not friendly. I'd like to try its currywurst as well and the curry sauce. read more
First time trying the chicken Doner Teller and initially, the flavour at first was a bit bland with a hint of kicking spice. After a minute or so, my taste buds came to its sense and the doner teller became extremely tasty. The portion of the dish is just perfect. It can be a satisfying snack or a pleasant full meal. The restaurant also has a glass water dispenser on the counter with glass cups on the side to quench your thirst. For what you get, the prices can be a bit high, but nonetheless, Otto's Berlin Doner will definitely be expecting another visit from me. read more
This cute little gem in Kensington is worth a try. They have seating outside and inside! We ordered a large lamb and veal teller and it was so good! We added feta cheese and couscous and honestly the two of us couldn't finish it. I really enjoyed the lamb! We also added a watermelon and lime smoothie. It tasted so fresh! I would highly recommend! Everything came up to 20$ which isn't bad cause we split it among 2. read more

We stopped in here on opening night. Had a nice patio spot with our dog on the outside. The owner came out to speak with us. Also got us a cup of water for our dog. We got the Chicken and the Veal/Lamb doner. Both were good. However, I would say that they could increase the amount of meat/ingredients on the inside. There were definitely more bites of bread. I'd also recommend adding a bit more sauce. Definitely check out both bathrooms (in the basement). The one was still under a bit of construction, but press the button down there. Interesting experience for sure! read more

Used to like this joint but today I ordered a lamb and veal sandwich and the bread was at least a day old. If you want to charge almost $12 for a sandwich then have the courtesy to use fresh bread. Totally lame. Konrad, the owner was good enough to respond and offer a replacement sandwich. Going to take him up on it but will need some time and consistent quality before I give more than 2 stars. read more

A delicious meal, ingredients are fresh. They let you do half-fries and half-salad for the doner teller, if you're indecisive between being healthy and carbs.. Their sauces really make the meal!! There's a good patio out front, but small. It's really nice if you manage to grab a seat. The entire front window does open though so sitting inside is almost like sitting outside without the sun. They also serve reasonably priced beer, that's a plus. Surprisingly, the bathroom is worth a visit (don't forget to press the button!). read more
