Kotti Berliner Doner Kebab

My friend and I enjoyed our Doner Kabab. It was big and tasty. Delicious. Only issue it was a bit messy so you will need a few napkins. Dave was a great salesperson!!!!

Located in the basement of the mall, it's very close to the escalator heading downstairs. The restaurant is just one of the 35 outlets in the food court, nothing much to say about the atmosphere/ambiance. The service was quick but the staff didn't seem that friendly to me. Food felt okay, the pita bread and veggies were fresh along with chicken which was flavorful but the quantity of chicken felt less and it felt a lot bready to be precise when having it. The cost is definitely a bit on the higher side compared to the quality which was offered. Overall an average experience.

I almost never leave reviews but I had the worst “doner” of my life here and needed to share. Please don’t market what you sell as doner if it looks like this. Doner is meat shaved quite thinly, so I’m not really sure what this was. And it was almost $20 too. I will never come back, and encourage anyone actually looking for doner not to go there either. I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Cyian was very helpful and friendly. He was polite and offered samples. James was also very friendly! Great food!

Doner was delicious and filling, staff was super kind, and cheapest cans of soda in the food court (I think). Be warned that beef portion in the salad is pretty small tho 🫢 Chicken was delicious, especially with white sauce. There are some tables nearby to sit too which is great

I got the Chicken Kebab. It was delish! The chicken was do tender and flavorful. The pita or bread tasted fresh. So many great flavors. I didn't have such high hopes for this spot as it was going to be a quick grab go for me but a must try!

Good food, good vibes! Whenever I’m in the area I make sure to stop by for their organic tofu sandwiches with everything inside …. So gooddd

The döner kebab wasn’t rlly filling at all. It was more bread than the protein and toppings and I don’t think it was worth $16. I forgot to take a photo but maybe the other options are worth it? It also didn’t taste like authentic Berliner döner kebab.

I visit this location and the other location near the Barclays Center quite frequently. The food is super fresh and the service is very friendly. The chicken durum wrap is absolute perfection. It will blow your mind. I also like getting the chicken salad and rice bowl, which is pretty healthy because it's packed with veggies. The portion sizes here are pretty big, you'll definitely be full for a while. Most of the entrees here cost about $15, which is a pretty good bang for your buck.

I found this spot on ClassPass' Food & Drink section and decided to give it a try. I was initially having so much trouble finding this food stall, but Kotti Döner Kebab is located right by the escalators in the basement of Dekalb Market Hall. I ordered their Roasted Chicken Rice Pilaf Bowl and waited ~7 min. I was starving, so this bowl SLAPPED. The chicken was tender and their onion-tomato-cucumber-dill tzatziki topping was SO YUMMY with every bite. The service is a bit slower, but it's really only because there's only a few people running a pretty popular stall. Their prices are standard food hall prices, aka not cheap. Had I paid for this bowl instead of ordering through ClassPass (7 credits), this would've came out to $15.25 before tax! Overall, would come back if I'm starving, but was otherwise great to try!

I had been meaning to try a doner kebab when I came across this stall at Dekalb Market. The service was a bit slow; I waited at the register for a couple of minutes despite no line. I ordered a chicken wrap which tasted pretty good, but the ingredients weren't evenly distributed throughout. Some parts had only pickled cabbage or bites of feta, while one half of the wrap had chicken and the other only vegetables. This uneven distribution made it less enjoyable to share with a friend, as we didn't experience all the flavors together. Overall, the ingredients were delicious, and the flavors had a unique blend of spices. The market provided ample seating to enjoy our meal.

So I saw the spits and assume the doner would be coming off the spit. But no, only the chicken doner comes off the spit, the steak is just quickly grilled on a flat top and so the steak didn't have that great doner flavor you know and love. Not well seasoned. And honestly that's the whole reaction, just far too bland overall. Negligible sauce, negligible spice, negligible seasoning. I asked for extra spicy sauce and was given a snarky "oh we typically charge extra for this." Seriously? I'm the only person ordering from you on a Saturday night and just paid for a beer and a doner wrap and you're like "oh we normally nickel and dime you for a tiny bit of hot sauce" As average as it gets. Wouldn't get again.

I'm sure the food is delicious. 1 star for it not having lamb anywhere near the place and for making me have to ask the price. TIL a döner kebab sandwich costs $16.26. Post your prices. FFS.

Horrible service and mediocre food. Had ordered the salad with extra chicken. If what I got was "extra chicken" than I can't even imagine how much they serve as a regular portion for that price. It was literally about 5 chunks of chicken. Most of the fix-in's added were bland and also fell very short. I had also asked for a lot of the white sauce and multiple lines of the red sauce as I like it very spicy. I got barely enough white sauce to have the salad not seem dry and one squirt of red sauce. Overall taste lacked flavor. There are better options within IC.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while inside the mall, the basement level cafeteria is out of this world and something I've never seen before! Truly a must see if you're ever in the area. I'll be honest I was skeptical about ordering here as it's a German restaurant and serves Berlin style kebabs. I've only had the Mediterranean & middle eastern style so I didn't know what to expect. Kept it simple with that in mind and ordered the beef Doner Kebab with a side rice and a slice of baklava for desert. What. A. Wait. Took about 35 minutes for the two sandwiches to come out which was rather upsetting as it much longer than anticipated. Well worth the wait though as I couldn't believe my eyes when it came out. These are HUGE sandwich's! Took up the entire to-go container and bulging at the corners. It was mildly overwhelming with all the extras and had it more like a salad. Rice was disappointing - bland, cold, and strong artificial flavor. Baklava was mushy but very tasty. Overall I'll say this was a unique experience. If Berlin/German style kebabs are your go to, this is the place. Just be prepared to wait awhile and make sure you come hungry!

This has become my favorite spot at the food hall. I was craving some Mediterranean flavors and this spot hit all the spots. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the food came out quickly. We got 2 doner kebabs which had greens, cabbage, onions, feta cheese and a mix of sauces. The menu said they were bigger than burgers and that felt like an understatement! Our sandwich was packed to the brim and super flavorful! We absolutely loved the softness with slight chewiness of the Turkish pide bread. The chicken was juicy and paired well with all the other seasonings and toppings, all for $14.50! This spot blew my taste buds away and I will definitely be visiting again! Great spot for refreshing flavors and a good portion!

crispy and fluffy pita filled with tender meat complemented by refreshing cabbage, lettuce, onions. Honestly the bread was the highlight for me

Kotti Berliner is in my top 5 stalls at Dekalb Market. The namesake Doner Kebab sandwich is a quarter of a fluffy Turkish pide bread (my literal favorite bread), with roast chicken, a sweet/smoky/spicy sauce, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, cilantro. The sandwich is BIG - I struggle to finish it on my own for lunch. If I feel generous I do halfsies with the hubbypants. But its the perfect, if messy, sandwich. The warm and crunchy bread contrast the juicy meat and the crisp cool veggies. You could also do the wrap or the kebab taco, which are also tasty in their own right, but just pale in tastiness and intensity as the Doner Kebab. Service is usually very fast, price fair for the portion size and location, and the food is always fresh. Do not let your sandwich sit here and wait and get soggy, eat immediately!

A posh döner kebab for the high end office lunch town crowd. Tucked away from on the right side escalator banks as you descend into the Dekalb Market Hall, Kottie Berliner Döner Kebab represents the German national fast food in a sea of cuisines from far away lands. However, this isn't a shady imbiss you would find on some of the streets in Kreuzberg. While those establishments might display vegetables and meats of questionable quality, Kotti offers up a fresh salad in between a bread that's fluffier than a traditional pita bread. The "free of hormone and antibiotics. 100% vegetarian grain-fed, GMO-free, halal, certified humane raised, free-roaming" chicken was soft and tasty just like the sauce that covered it, and this is reflected in the price. The product is unquestionably delicious and enjoyable. It's the döner that is clean cut, wears a suit and works in finance. What it isn't is the late night, cheap and grease filled meal that comes to mind when you think of a döner. Craving a döner? With a reasonable price? Don't count on it here.

Great doner kebab sandwiches! I've been to some of Kotti's other locations and their sandwiches always hit the spot. Super flavorful with great contrasts between the ingredients. Service is very quick despite the stall being busy.

Kotti Berliner offers German style kebab dishes at DeKalb Market, which certainly adds to the variety at this location. The dish itself that we had, with the roasted chicken and feta cheese, was tasty, and much better than most "halal cart type" foods I have had. But then, this was at least twice as costly. The chicken was tasty, but I wish there were more of it. The red sauce isn't particularly spicy.

Our favorite stall in Dekalb Market. When you hit the pockets of red+white sauce hidden deep in the pockets of the gigantic pillowy bread, coating the little cubes of seasoned chicken perfectly... ::chef's kiss::. Giant heaps of cabbage and other veggies helps too. It's relatively pricy $15+, but one order feeds two of us comfortably with just enough room for a bite of dessert from elsewhere.

So I've been coming here ever since this place opened and the food has always been fresh and delicious! I've tried the Doner Kebab, the wrap and the chicken over rice which is by far my favorite and go to dish. The chicken along with the rice, vegetables and the white/red sauce combo is simply amazing! I always will walk around and say to myself I will try something else but always end up here and order my usual! Over the years I see the price of the dish go up which is understandable but I feel like the chicken portions have decreased which really sucks since you're paying over $16 for the plate. I also wish they would give some extra white sauce on the side because it's so damn good.

The food here is absolutely delicious. In any version you choose whether it's in the doner or in a bowl, there is so much flavor! The meat is well seasoned and tender and the flavor of the sauces with be left lingering in your mouth even after your done eating, I promise! Such a good find- I have this for lunch now at least twice a week

Kotti is amazing. The food is fresh WTH great portions. I was turned onto the food nt Ash one of their Associates. I've been back ever since. Everything is priced per the location of course but that isn't to say items are over priced. Everything I've had has been delicious and worthwhile. Sean, Mules and Ash are knowledgeable as far as the items they serve. My daughter had a list of questions because it was her first time trying the cuisine and all questions were answered. This location is a part of the Dekalb market and so seating is provided for the the restaurants diners. Music is always Plato and the guests are nice. It's a comfortable space. Come see for yourself.

So I decided to order from this place and boy was I not disappointed! I got the doner chicken kebab and it was absolutely delicious. The sandwich is massive and super filling. The chicken was tender and well spiced (bonus points for also being halal). The bread is absolutely delicious (they use Turkish pide with the black seeds which is superb). The sandwich is also filled with picked vegetables which are tasty. They add a range of sauces and the classic is on the spicier side, which I liked.

The chicken is super tender!! Very flavorful! The Donor slider one!

Had rice with chicken some lettuce and white sauce. Super tasty and a lot of chicken inside it. Was way too hungry to even take a picture of the bowl. Def coming back for their Doner Kebab next time

This food is delicious! I had a bowl, and while I thought I would probably eat half and save the rest for later (my m.o. with bowls) it was so good I finished the entire thing. Very worth checking out.

Asked for chicken got beef instead. Sauce is good but they barely put any. Over priced

I had been eyeing this place since I started doing my groceries here. The kebabs are MASSIVE! If you aren't too hungry, it is definitely worth sharing. I struggled trying to finish it. The food was great, but there was a lot going on for my liking. This is entirely my own personal grievance, though. The Veggie Kebab was filled with so much flavor! I just didn't know how to eat it and was simply overwhelmed by its size.

I have been here a few times and have been meaning to write a review. I have tried the beef as well as the chicken doner kebab. Both are excellent. What is incredible about the doner kebabs here are the flavors. So many different but complimentary flavors and the bread is absolutely perfect (nice and fluffy and warm). The portion is a good size and is a meal for one person (costs about $16 with tax). Easily the best doner kebab I have had in the US. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in Dekalb market hall.

I tried this place a few times. A taste of Berlin in New York.. I was intrigued by the resturant itself.. So I ordered the Roasted Chicken over Rice Bowl. I wanted something filling that also tasted good. Well the disk hit its mark. The taste was great, this was the first time I tried this dish and experienced the flavors. You taste the manny flavors while feeling the hints of others. The rice was cooked well... rice is easy to cook, and easier to mess up. I enjoyed this meal and will return to try the other items on the menu..

Beautiful restaurant. The waitstaff was so sweet, the food was delicious and everything was incredibly fresh. At first I thought it was alittle pricey then the kabob came out and wow.....it was loaded!! Hit the spot for sure! Definitely an awesome spot to check out in Dekalb Market.

This place is really nice the owner is a very kind man and the food is great but i have a huge complaint. The male cooking the food was horrifically rude to me and to the young boy in the kitchen. I did not like the way he was treating him and it made me not want to buy from you all again. When I asked about extra red sauce he told me there was extra charge which is fine and i didn't mind paying it. What i did not like was his nasty attitude towards me, when I addressed his behaviors towards the very young boy who was working there, he became even more nasty. This is not about an extra charge i paid happily this is about the representation of a very respectable establishment and a very rude worker who should not be representing this place. He made it seem like it was okay to treat a person like they are dirt because they are the owners nephew. That is not cool.

This place is awful, as someone who's been to Germany , this is nothing like doner kebab there! I got a soggy sandwich that I couldn't even eat without it fallen apart. The meat is supposed to be thin gyro meat which it is not! I got a 2 inch pieces of beef which made the sandwich even worse

The bread was too chewy and hard to bite. Overall really big doner but I felt it was so so. I think this place is affordable and gives big portions.

Had the chicken slider and it was pretty good. It's not amazing, but it does the job!

The chicken kebab was delicious here - flavourful and huge! It was hard to eat and honestly made a huge mess but it was worth it. It's a little pricey but honestly a solid meal so I'll def be back.

Friendly staff but disappointing food. Berlin has amazing vegetarian döner but my veggie wrap was dripping with sauce and fell apart in my hands. Most of the sandwich was cold and the outside seemed like an uncooked tortilla rather than a traditional flatbread or pita.

The menu is small. There are only a few options, and they are essentially all the same dish: juicy, delicious, spit-roasted chicken with all sorts of colorful and tasty toppings. Now, you can get a wrap, and it'll be easy to eat, and a good time. You can also get a salad if you really don't like being completely satisfied with a meal, but still want the nice flavors. But the Döner Kebab is #1 on the menu, and #1 in my heart. It's the name of the stand for Pete's sake. It's their specialty, and wrapping up all the tasty items (just get everything) they have back there in Turkish pide...a crisp flatbread not too far off of focaccia...that's the move. It's the way this meal was meant to be eaten, and it also happens to taste the best. This has become one of my favorite options in Dekalb Market Hall, and I'll be getting it again shortly.

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in DeKalb Market hall (and the city in general). If you've never had Döner, you have to give this a try. This is the most authentic tasting Döner I've been able to find in the states- the perfect blend of Turkish and German culture. Be sure to bring your card with you as they don't accept cash!

Excellent service, tasty food in a hip Brooklyn food hall ambiance. Kotti serves Berliner style gyro (chicken and beef) with all the fixings and the Quality ingredients they use sets their stuff apart from all the other lower quality vendors. High quality Berliner style gyro is a must try for anyone who likes the generic chicken over rice they serve in less good places

These are not the worst kababs I have ever had. Buy they aren't very good, and certainly don't remind me of anything from Berlin. They totally missed the mark with these. Don't expect a really good taste of home. Much more like a California take on a new york gyro.

Lovely staff, fresh everything. A true neighborhood gem. Putting this place on my weekly rotation.

Meat and bread was cold, felt like the chicken meat just been sitting in tray for while, thought they cut it off fresh when ordered.

Kotti Berliner Doner Kebab is one of my favorite spots at DeKalb Market, and I was happy to see on my most recent visit to the food hall that they had a weekday lunch special with discounted prices on the doner kebab, durum wrap, and salad. The lunch special wasn't exactly inexpensive, as the cheapest of the specials was $10.50, but most things in DeKalb Market are on the more expensive side. I opted for the $12 salad special instead of the doner kebab this time (although the focaccia-like bread that one comes with is great). The salad came with layers of salad mix, lettuce, onions, tomato and cucumber salad, cabbage, feta cheese, a yogurt-based white sauce, a harissa-based red sauce, and lots of chicken. I was impressed by the amount of chicken that was in the bowl, and it made the price tag a little easier to swallow. The chicken was excellent, very tender and marinated in lots of spices, the vegetables were fresh, and the whole salad worked well mixed together. I liked it so much that I might consider making the salad with an add-on of bread my regular order.

YUM. Got the Doner kebab And holy moly it's HUGE. Served on a warm and soft Turkish bread, similar to focaccia. It's stuffed and piled with seasoned chicken thighs, pickled onions, red cabbage, romaine, feta and topped with a creamy yogurt sauce. It's DELICIOUS and MESSY with a great balance of flavors and textures and you don't feel crappy/sluggish afterwards because of all the veggies. Come hungry!

Overpriced for what it is. The staff was friendly though. The place seemed a bit messy though, lots of dust and dried food on their glass counter. I'd say this place is the least worth it out of all the places in dekalb market.

I had already eaten a full meal, but my friend wanted to try the new doner slider here, so I followed. As I watched them filling earlier orders (like everywhere down here, there's a wait), I noticed how juicy the beef looked and how fresh the bread looked. I also noticed 10% off flyers on the counter. Pro tip #1: Grab the flyer before you order here. Grab it, walk away for awhile, be unnoticed. Come back and you get 10% off! I did not do this. I paid full price. Womp. Anyway, since only the full on Berliner kebab comes with the bread, I ended up getting that. Pro tip #2: This is a full meal on its own. Do not do what I did. Pro tip #3: The beef costs 75 cents more than the chicken. I wanted the juicy-looking beef instead of the drier-looking chicken, and I didn't find out until I reacted to the price. Nowhere on the menu does it state this. Minus half a star for hiding prices. On to the food: 5 stars, no question. Portion is generous, meat is delicious, bread is fresh and also delicious, the mix of their white and harissa sauces is delicious and slightly spicy. It's all a gorgeous tumult of flavor. Except the way it's layered in there, you can't possibly enjoy it all together. You're either eating veggie or meat with each bite, can't get both. And the sauce all falls out the bottom because they start off by saucing the bread. Minus the other half a star for assembly issues. So that's a wrap - or in my case, a sandwich. But you can get a wrap, or even a cone. I recommend the sandwich though. Grab your flyers while they last!

Ordered the most standard and simple item (doner) and waited 20min. Completely defeats the purpose.

The real deal! For a small birthday gathering at my friends distillery I ordered buffet style catering for 20 people, 5 of which vegan, including myself. After a great phone conversation where we went over everything they came on time, set everything up, worked with the venue, I could just sit back, and left us with all the delicious food. My guests could make bowls or döner kebab sandwiches. All the different elements were there and plentiful. And most important, everything tasted exceptional! Fresh, perfectly seasoned and mouthwatering. The red and white sauces were slamming, and for me they brought a vegan white sauce. Dang was it good! Not an after thought but a real Berliner Döner sauce done vegan! Delicious! Lucky for me I had sauce leftover (the size was quite generous) so it was going on Thanksgiving leftovers for the entire following week! Great job Kotti Berliner Döner Kebab Brooklyn!

Bread is authentic to what I remember what pita should be. At least from Greece standards. Close enough to Turkey. It's a bit saucy. Tahini and their chili paste sauce covers everything if that's your thing. They kinda skimp on the chicken. But the bread is their saving grace. It's crisp on the outside and flaky with moist air pockets on the inside. $10.50 for the lunch special otherwise it's about $13 and change. Not bad.

I like to stop by this place every time I go to Trader Joe's. The food really reminds me of Berlin. They have healthy and no gluten options for picky a**s like me. Amazing food, thank you.

All food options are pretty good and really well made. The meat is tenderly cooked and quite juicy, and they add a variety of different vegetables to their dishes. They have options to add different sauces and incorporate a lot of it into your wrap or your bowl. Best things to get here are the chicken durum wrap , although the bowl is pretty good too!!

In bk visiting my gf and stumbled across this place. Staff was super cool and explained the different menu items to me. Food was ON POINT. I got the chicken doner kebab 10/10. Couldn't wait to take a pic. I devoured it in 5mins. Perfect blend of spicy n savory. Great toppings. Lite n FRESH.
