19 Best Restaurants in Berlin

"Berlin’s most popular fast food, besides currywurst, is döner kebab, grilled meat with vegetables stuffed inside spongy bread. The most hyped place in the city is Mustafa’s, in Kreuzberg, but the lines are always insane. K’ups in Prenzlauer Berg serves a similar product with hardly any queues—perfect for a quick, filling lunch or dinner, or a late-night snack before or after a night of drinking or clubbing (it’s open till 1:30 a.m. weekdays, 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 a.m. Sunday). Though traditional döner kebabs use lamb or veal, all of K’ups kebabs are chicken—you’ll see it rotating on a spit that’s carved off after you order. The poultry is then mixed with grilled zucchini, peppers, eggplant, and potatoes; topped with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and a salad mix of lettuce and red cabbage; and finally sprinkled with feta cheese. Choose your sauce—yogurt, garlic, or spicy—and whether you want your kebab piled into durum, like a burrito, into white or wheat bread, or served as a salad with no bread. Vegetable and haloumi options are also available." - Liz Humphreys
