Berlin Doner & Kebab House

The döner was incredibly juicy, full of flavor, and cooked exactly the right way. You can tell the chef really knows what he’s doing — the meat was tender, well-seasoned, and not dry at all. I’ve had a lot of döner in different places, and in my opinion, no döner in SF beats Berlin Döner. This is easily the best döner I’ve had in the Bay Area so far. The balance between the meat, rice, and salad was perfect, and everything tasted fresh. If you’re craving real, properly prepared döner, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back

Awesome food and menu. A friend took us there for my birthday. It was wonderful. I like how fresh the salad and how tasty the food plate is. Make sure you order the combo to try out everything.

Absolutely loved my breakfast here this morning! The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The food was incredibly delicious and authentic. And oh my goodness, save room for the desserts- they are to die for! Highly, highly recommend to everyone looking for a tasty and delightful meal. A perfect start to the day! Will be back soon! #TurkishBreakfast #Foodie #HighlyRecommend #Delicious #SweetTooth

More like 4.5 stars. Great neighborhood joint just off the loin. Staff is nice and helpful with questions. Good portion/price ratio. Doner meat had lots of flavor and good body, rice is smooth and buttery, salad could stand on its own with fresh veggies and a light vinaigrette that complemented well. Pita looked store bought but tasted very good. Chill neighborhood vibe and open fairly late. This makes our go to for the area

If you are looking for authentic, true Turkish food, then this is the spot! On the corner of Sutter, this is a really great spot to come to and not only relax, but have a great meal. Came here at about 10 or 11 AM and we were one of the only people dining in for breakfast. Menu is straightforward with a good variety. We were able to just go to the register and order and the wait time for our food was not very long. Everything was well cooked and there Was so much flavor. We didn't have to add much salt or pepper. my meat lovers plate was very delicious. It was nice to have a meal I knew I would like and be able to sample off of the other two meals we ordered. We pretty much cleaned our plates. That's how good the food was! The really nice and the service is very fast so please give it a try if you're in the neighborhood

My favourite dish is the lentil soup with basmati rice. I also love the Turkish tea. You cannot go wrong with this choice. I’m looking forward to trying the Turkish coffee next. It is a casual place. You do pay first. I love the halal options. Overall, I’ve been satisfied with the customer service! Thank you!!!

I highly recommend this place as a spot that stands out for its impeccable cleanliness, exceptional comfort, and unbelievably delicious food! The wraps are crafted with the freshest ingredients and are the perfect size for a satisfying meal. Make sure to try the delightful Turkish coffee as well—it’s an absolute must! This restaurant is a true gem, thank you so much 🤍

I thought the portion size of the Doner was a little bit small. The fries were probably oversized portion lol. I got the beef and lamb doner and it was super good. Good flavor. Got an order a fries and they have some type of seasoning on top that was absolutely fantastic. I really do think they should add a couple more ounces of meat and veggie. Every doner I ever got when I was in Turkey was stuffed and fat.

We stopped at Berlin Doner & Kebab House after a chocolate factory tour because we were starving and hadn't had any real food up to that point, and what a nice little stop this was. Let's get into it.. Atmosphere - The atmosphere here is nothing crazy, but they have tables that can accommodate both small and large groups. It has the charm of a small mom & pop/husband & wife type establishment. The place seemed pretty clean overall. Service - The service here was good. The lady who took our order was friendly and our food was brought out in a reasonable time. No complaints here. Food - We got a mixed meat plate with rice and salad, and it was delicious. The meats were very good as was everything else. It also came with some piping-hot pitas which were great too. We added some of the complimentary peppers they had on the table and that was great too. A+ for the food. Overall, I'm glad we stopped by this nice little corner shop and I'd definitely return if given the opportunity. Tell them Craig sent you for an additional 0% off your next order because they have no idea who I am.

The owners are incredibly friendly! The food was excellent--we tried the beef/lamb doner, chicken kabob, and chicken doner, all of which were flavorful. The wrap is filling but not too heavy. Strongly recommend the baba ghanoush, which is smoky and flavorful. The baklava is also light, fluffy, fresh, and tasty without being too sweet. It pairs well with the Turkish tea! The space is small, clean, and pleasant, and the service is quick. Definitely worth a stop.

absolutely amazing! i went here a few days ago with my mom and my bf. we had two of the wraps (falafel and a kofte) and a lamb plate. it was delicious! also got 3 orders of fries! the people here are also so generous and kind. it was rly good service! the prices are fair and the place is clean. definitely recommend if you're in nob hill and want to get a bite to eat :-)

Not an exaggeration... the best Doner I've had since my study abroad days in Spain. Equal parts comfort food and a sneaky dose of veggies. The father and daughter working this restaurant have a lot of pride in what they do. Cannot wait to go back!

I finally got to try this spot that's in my neighborhood after walking by many times. This is such a cute small shop with lovely staff. I ordered the lamb and beef wrap and it was so delicious. It was very flavorful and I liked that they had a lot of different veggies inside. It is the right amount of filling. You don't get super stuffed, but it's not so big that you can't eat the whole thing. I definitely wanna come back and try their chicken wrap and some of their appetizers.

I had been wondering what Berlin had to do with doner and kebabs and found out later the dish had originated in Berlin by Turkish immigrants who developed the vertical rotisserie back in the 1850's. Isn't that interesting? Anyway, I noticed this spot had taken over the space that housed the vintage Golden Coffee Shop for years. I was not a fan of that greasy spoon, and there was no trace of it in its new identity. In a clean, open dining space, they offered a pretty robust selection of familiar of Middle Eastern plates, and I decided to go for their signature item, the $17.95 Lamb & Beef Doner (photo: https://yelp.to/L5vCX6_NfS). The portion was quite generous and savory good tasting like it was just shaved off the spit. It came with a scoop of rice, Israeli salad and pickled red cabbage, and a basket of warm pita wedges. Definitely worked for me. FOOD - 4 stars...a solid doner plate AMBIANCE - 4 stars...well spruced up since the Golden days SERVICE - 4 stars...very attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...a fine Tendernob destination RELATED - Exploring the Tenderloin? Here's my collection of places I've tried and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2NIQ0tw

Food : 5/5 Service : 5/5 Ambiance : 5/5 The food here is a-ok, but better. The wraps here are definitely the way to go. I haven't tried a falafel or hummus, but if I only had a chance for a wrap..... then PLEASE OH PLEASE, MY WRAPS BABY OH PLEASE.

Incredible food, incredible service. Out of all the kebab shops I've tried in the city, this one takes the cake. They the appetizer combo!

Very good quality, juicy lamb doner that was packed with veggies and bursting with flavor. Homemade yogurt drink that tasted so fresh, just all around refreshing. Overall vibe was so cool and reminded me of being back in Berlin. 10/10!

I couldn't find this place on Yelp and thought it odd that they have a "People love us on Yelp" sticker but decided to stop in and look at the menu anyway. The owner seemed like a friendly guy so I asked him what was good and he immediately carved off some of the beef / lamb kebob to give me to try (enough for a small plate actually). That won me over for a meal. I got that in a plate that came with salad, rice and hot pita triangles. I told him I love hummus but didn't want a full order so he gave me some anyway. I'm not dropping many Yelp reviews lately but places like this deserve to have public shout outs. The food is great; fresh, tasty and filling. The owners are terrific guys who take pride in their food and restaurant and it shows. It is Turkish with German influence (maybe like a Turkish place in Germany). I loved it and I look forward to going back. By the way, this place is the same place as the current name "SF Breakfast Cafe," however they have re branded as "Berlin Doner & Kebab House." I have suggested a name edit on Yelp. Go here!

Food taste is mediocre. Soup of the day has nothing inside. You'll get clear fatty broth with a piece of pita bread for $7.95. Portion of everything is very small for the price. I don't think I'll order again.

Yam! I am so happy we found this place! Doner tastes like the real deal you get in Europe! I had the lamb and beef... totally ordering it again next time! Hope they don't ruin quality in the future

Had the chicken Doner and fries and it was fantastic! First time trying Turkish food, and I was so satisfied. Great value for tasty food. Also the owner working behind the counter is so kind. Mom and pop shop, will definitely be back.

I heard about this place through the grape vine and i completely understand the hype. The combo appetizer plate was so yummy and light and the kebab was so yummy. I could eat here everyday

When we saw the new Restaurant at this location the menu look great so my friend and I decided to go in and get a bite to eat. We said hello to the lady behind the counter who didn't acknowledge this one bit we sat down she stood there with her arms holding across your chest not saying a word to us such a HATEFUL look on her face it was quite frankly hard to understand why she hated us so much we'd never met before. I can't comment on the food because I haven't eaten there but I can tell you something the lady is not at all friendly. My friend and I got up and left I've never entered a restaurant where I felt more unwelcome I don't know what the ladies problem is I suspect with an attitude like she has that this restaurant won't be around for very long.

Just stopped in for a quick bite before a concert. I got a beef and lamb döner wrap and my friend got the plate. Both were absolutely delicious! The restaurant was a very convenient spot and the staff were exceptionally friendly! Highly recommend stopping by!!

Unfortunately, the portions are very skimpy. I paid $40+ for a lamb plate and chicken plate which were both disappointing to say the least. The chicken was flavorless. The lamb was ok, but the portions for both plates were definitely on the smaller side and mid-tasting for them to charge $18+ each on DoorDash. The sauce they include is pretty good which somewhat enhanced both meals, but the chicken plate was not finished. Maybe if we dined in then we probably would have received a more fulfilling plate and probably would've been worth the price, but I do feel as tho they could have included more meat on both plates. This is solely based on my comparison to other places in the city.

SF *finally* has a kebab place worth the parking. Strong flavor, juicy without being wet and soggy, interesting sauces that can't offend, but rather complement the flavors inside. Everything was fresh and crisp, besides. Will return!

Breakfast Cafe was nice but the shop has been transformed into Doner and Kebab. So far no qualms. The salmon plate has great flavor and cooked well, the Chicken Kebab also juicy and prepared well. The Baklava was outstanding and some of the best I've had. Owners are very friendly making for an overall good experience.

The food is freshly cooked. Customer Services are amazing. The server lady is a sweetheart, she checked to make sure my soup are still hot.

The smallest portion of Lamb & Beef doner PLATE I've ever had in my life!! Put some more meat, don't be greedy

The food was cold and tasted like ballz. The just take pre chopped chicken out of a metal box. I don't even know if they heated it up. Save your money and go to McDonald's - this is not Doner at all. Chicken was bland.

Amazing people and great food ! Chicken is amazing and great tea :))) get the Berlin combo !! Highly recommended

This restaurant was absolutely delicious! Coming into the restaurant it was a bit busy we ordered and the service was great! We met the owner, zack, he was really nice and welcoming. The food was delicious, we ordered falafel and feta rolls to try as our appetizers and it was delicious. I got the chicken doner plate and the portions were great! Chicken was delicious, salad was delicious and their sauce really tied everything altogether. I will definitely be coming back to try more! To top it off the owner gave us some baklava to try, definitely a great dessert option! Thank you for the hospitality zack I will be seeing you again soon!:)

Good food, decent portions but I'm kind of a fatty. Nice people too. Ambiance was nice

Great food, really like the express there. Definitely worth the visit and the prices is very reasonable

They went out of business. They were replaced by a doner restaurant. Before going out of business, they were a great place.

The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend this place. Definitely would come back if I am in San Fransico again!

Food was good. Restaurant and kitchen was clean. Price was just okay for portion size.

Such an amazing food!! I've been going there for some time now, and it never fails! Very authentic food.

Family owned business ,with decent food & reasonable price . Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The delicious food, impeccable service gives you a five stars experience

Berlin Donner & Kebap house is a true gem in Lower Nob Hill! The owner's warmth and genuine hospitality make every visit special. The food was, once again, outstanding--I ordered Lamb&Beef Donner was cooked to perfection, showcasting fresh ingrendients and vibrant flavors. It's rare to find a place where you feel so welcomed and valued as a customer. If you're looking for a place with amazing mediterranean food, Berlin Kebapp & Donner is a must! Highly recommend!"

I've been coming here since they opened and have been working my way through the whole menu. Everything I've had so far has been great! I definitely recommend the appetizer platter if you want to try a little of everything from that side of the menu. Also love the baba ganoush!

This place was delicious! I got the Shish Kebeb plate and the beef was so tender and juicy, it melts in your mouth. The sauces added even more flavor. Everything was so fresh and the Turkish Tea was very tasteful and soothing. The service was also excellent. They answered all of our questions and gave us really good recommendations and information about their menu. Would definitely come back again.

I had the Kofte plate and baklava and turkish tea . It was the best i had in San Francisco. The ambiance is cool and the service was great. Also don't forget to shop turkish snacks next door at sf bakkal. Will definitely be back.

Food is incredibly fresh and it is a healthy option when working at the nearby hospital. Recommend it 100% . Staff is so friendly too.

It was the best doner kebab I have ever eaten. You should also try their baklava. I heard they serve breakfast but haven't tried it yet. I will definitely go again.

This place is amazing. All the wraps are great! It's amazingly priced for the quality. The chicken swarma and lamb and kebab wraps are the best!

I got the shish kebab (beef), omgggg beef is so soft that melt in your mouth and have that nice smokey scent. The salad is so fresh; I ate here a few times already and salads alway feel fresh. The service is 10/10, so friendly and kind. I love the food, the service, the vibes. Keep in mind about the parking, but everything worth to come. Would be recommend

We had chicken kebab wraps tonight for dinner. Delicious flavors and fresh ingredients. I will definitely be back!

amazing food and great service!! staff was very nice and accommodating. nice little place in tenderloin

Outstanding food and service. We're always looking for smaller places to eat, with top-notch food. This is up there with other local restaurants, such as Kinara and Gusto.

One of the absolute gems of SF. Incredible food and incredible service, for a reasonable price. The hummus was the best I've had in the city, and the owner brought us complimentary tea after our meal. He and the staff couldn't be kinder. You won't regret going there.

So good! Will come again. The service, food quality, and location is lovely. Neighborhood gem.

Stopped by for lunch. Great decision! Lamb and beef plate was fantastic. Solid plate of food all around. Very much looking forward to my next visit. Thank you very much for providing a great kebab option for the neighborhood!!
