Izmir Köftecisi (Konak-Grill)

The XXL Köfte Sandwich is quite filling and tastes great. The atmosphere is clean. The staff is polite but a bit rushed. The atmosphere is a bit intimate, but it's okay.

Great sandwiches, ask for additional spicy sauce if you like spicy food. Main downside: i wish they could give the option to offer the sandwich in a thinner bread Tasty Ayran Very friendly staff, thank you

Great portions, fair price, very good quality food and friendly service. The spicy sauce is lovely and spicy, and kofte are juicy. I really like the sub roll-style bread. They also take card payment.

In my opinion, this is just an average Turkish köfte place with nothing particularly special about it. The köftes were quite ordinary, to be honest. I could name at least three other restaurants within 300–500 meters that serve much better köfte. Also, the staff’s attitude towards customers was definitely not good. I think they should be more polite. Even though we specifically asked them not to add extra salt to the bread, they still did, and when we mentioned it, they responded in a rude manner. I believe restaurant staff should be polite and understanding. Otherwise, why would anyone want to come back? I wouldn’t say their köfte was terrible, but it definitely wasn’t impressive either. There are much better places in Berlin, even just within Kreuzberg, there are several far better options.

While walking around Berlin and sampling local cuisine, we stumbled upon a small restaurant. We ordered the XXL plate, and the portion was so generous it could easily feed two adults and a child. Having tried köfte in Istanbul, I can confidently say this one tasted even better. It was incredibly delicious, and we decided to take some with us for our drive out of Berlin. The customer service was excellent as well. I highly recommend this place—you get great value for your money.

The kofte im brot is one of the best things I've eaten in Berlin, better than the gemuse kebabs. The bread is hot, the kofte are fresh and the spicy hit makes this sandwich an excellent all in one meal. The service isn't the friendliest. They take card payments.

Great place to grab a quick bite. We tried the kofte xxl sandwich which was good. The meat was great, and juciy with nice flavour. The sauce wasn't particularly great, I think it was garlic with dill which was too strong (didn't try the spicy sauce). The highlight was the meat really, the rest was ok.

It is an okay sandwich. Nothing impressive, it was very dry and does not have that much content inside for the price they are selling it. Not bad but wouldn’t recommend coming back.

This place is the best. A bit hole in the wall, but they have reconstructed it since covid. I would highly recommend their kofte sandwich. Quick, easy food. Nice patrons

4/5 for the food and 2/5 for the service / politeness / vibes, so let's meet in the middle with 3 stars overall. It's a pretty standard köfte and halloumi fast food menu that you'll find most Turkish places in Berlin, but the spices and meat quality are particularly solid here. I just wish the staff behind the counter didn't scowl at the guests constantly and throw down the utensils in disgust, for no reason in particular. Sort of kills any good mood that might've been had from the taste of the food.

Came here after reading about the sandwich (first one on the menu) in Berlin food stories. The sandwich was solid, but with many great options here didn't repeat. Take cash.

Very good kofte sandwich, but it seems that they could have added some extra salty ingredients to give more flavour. 4€ for the normal sandwich. The portion is large

This place was great for a quick meal before a night out around Kottbusser Tor. The sis kofte (skewered meatball strips) and crusty bread were excellent, as were the big plates of fresh salad. Atmosphere was loud and crowded on a Friday night with fast counter service. When trying to find the place, note that the main sign out front says Izmir Koftecisi.

So if you are around Kotti, and you don't want to eat another donner go konak grill! You will find a selection of kofte and the great kofte sandwich really famous in ismir. The meat is great and the combination of the vegetables inside the sandwich makes it a very good choice of you are hungry around midnight :)

If you are hungy around the "Kotti" area, you will find the food yummy....but in comparison to the other cool grill shops in the area, it is average....if not below.....And the prices are not fair either. Good thing to mention here: the staff is really friendly and quick.

Good kofte, decent portion for the price, meatballs are very tasty and juicy, and gemuse has a picant touch. Also, pay attention to the tasty hot sauce, yummy.

Amazing Hallumi and kaziki sandwiches. All very tasty and fresh. You can't go wrong in Izmir's.

Great place for kofte! fresh and delicious turkish food other than the infamous doner

I heard somewhere along the lines of my trip to Berlin that the city special is a Döner Sandwich. After asking around and browsing Yelp, I came across Konak Grill in Kreuzberg with the hopes of trying one. Unfortunately, Konak doesn't serve Döner so don't be under the illusion that every Turkish restaurant in Kreuzberg will serve it. However, don't also be fooled by any inclination that this review is negative, because it's not, I LOVED Konak Grill. From the minute you walk in, you feel like you've encountered a true Berlin restaurant, something slightly off the beaten path that's not made for tourists. The place feels as if its got a strong connection with many families in the neighborhood as the staff is constantly coming out from behind the counter to hug various customers with little kids. Despite my friends and I not being family, let alone Turkish or German, the people at Konak grill treated us just as if we were. They made jokes, gave us recommendations, and even fixed us a makeshift table as all others were occupied at the time. Furthermore, if the service isn't enough to show how great this place is, the food will surely prove so. I ordered köfte sandwich, and was blown away by it. The quality of the meat is noticeable as you can see them grill it right in front of you. But perhaps the most impressive element of my lunch was the fresh veggies and sauces for the sandwich. Even though the array of accoutrements is small, the herbs, carrots, onion, jicama (I think), and the two yogurt sauces add so much flavor and really make the sandwich unforgettable. In fact, I'm writing this review 2 months after and I still remember almost everything about it. Highly recommend this place for an informal meal, perhaps the best place I went all trip!

A great place for köfte. The sandwiches are pretty large for 4 euros. All the vegetables tasted fresh and the added salt and spice powder gave a great flavor that most other places do not have.

best köfte in kreuzberg!!! my friends in the USA dream of it fondly. i've eaten two in one sitting before. amazing and open late.
