Rosenthaler Grill & Schlemmerbuffet

best food i have in europe lol I had a turkish pizza with salada, it’s really amazing. The sauce are so nice, there’s so many veggies in the roll, I’m already full when I’ve just eaten less then half of it. And it’s 24h so it’s the best choice for late night snack, def recommend. Can’t stop thinking about this place ever since

This restaurant is an insult to Turkish cuisine. Rice was undercooked, chicken was burnt and beef was impossible to crew. The cutlery was also dirty. There is absolutely nothing good to say. I don't recommend.

not even being dramatic this was the best Döner kebab I’ve ever had in my life. went last night, had a chicken kebab with all the fixings… was an out of body experience. 10/10, 100/10 even. would come back to Berlin for this alone. also the kindest people!!!

On point in everything I've had so far. Döner: perfect grill level for bread + meat. Pide: Various fillings. Taste great out of the oven. Soups: Generous portions, delicious. Highly recommended!

Because it is clearly a local spot, this place was a little intimidating at first but the guys behind the counter were patient as I ordered in English and the food was GREAT. The kebab bread was fresh and both the kebab and the salad was delicious.

The best Doener in Berlin (and that means the World) voted by me! The toasted bread is warm and crunchy and is not dry, the whole thing is just …. the Best!

We visited Rosenthaler Grill und Schlemmerbuffet in Berlin and it was an excellent experience! The Adana kebab was so delicious and full of flavor — worth the wait, especially since they make it fresh. We also tried the sarma dolma, which was really good too 👍🏻. Highly recommended if you love authentic Turkish food!

Excellent doner, and I don't say that lightly! The doner on bread is worth travelling for. If you've missed what I'm saying or I haven't spelt it out already, do yourself a favour and get down there for a doner, you won't regret it. A taste sensation!

I enjoyed lunch here on my first day in Berlin. I needed a schnitzel and selected the CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH A GREEN PEPPERCORN CREAM SAUCE. Oh my goodness, this was so tasty! The cream sauce was not only creamy but also buttery. It was a heavy lunch but no regrets. It was exactly what I was looking for. Enjoyed with a local Berliner beer...of course.

The internet says this place a top 3 place for döner in Berlin. It lives up to the reputation. The regular döner is great. They have crispy fries and seem to sell more than the fries-only place across the street. I have also gone with my vegetarian niece and she was thrilled with both the number of options for here and loved the falafel she got. I was here in 2014, 2017 and May of 2024. I will always make sure to visit when I get to Berlin!

Words cannot express how perfect this restaurant is. The greatest dining experience(s) of my entire life. The best restaurant in all of Europe.

If I could give this place a 6th star, I would. This is the best döner in Berlin, hands down. I tried a bunch of different places for the best döner and there are a few other good ones out there, but this is THE ONE. My professor brought me during my study abroad trip in Germany and it was a lesson I'll never forget: it's all about balance (the sauce to the meat to the bread to the veggies) Danke Berlin

Coming back to the hostel at 6am from a night out, this place is a GODSEND. There are so many CHOICES and everything is so CHEAP and so GOOD it's really everything you could want from a late night spot. I'm a huge falafel fan, and theirs is way above average. Most falafels are dried out and these are not. Plus you can add cheese to your shawarma which is amazing. They serve it with all kinds of crazy sauces, I think mine had ketchup and mayo and spicy sauce. The portion was huge but also full of veggies so I didn't feel too terrible about eating the whole thing. Definitely the place to be in the early hours of a Sunday morning.

What can I say about Schlemmerbuffet except that I think it gives Mustafas a run for its Euros. Yes, I said it. I don't know why I like this a tiny, tiny bit more than Mustafas, but I do. You have your choice of delicious meats and sauces you want for your Döner, and you can also request to include veggies if you like. If I'm not mistaken, you can also make a vegetarian version and opt for the falafel instead of meat. Perhaps it's their sauces that make the Döners tasty, and it's possible that the sauces are the secret to unifying all of the ingredients together to create a party in your mouth once you bite down. By the way, If you want Pommes Frites with your Döner, you're going to have to order that on the side. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/l2nFyvPSuEpZcYzlLgnvoA?select=5-aIAQnEtEYXSkGHpHlwAQ#5-aIAQnEtEYXSkGHpHlwAQ) I've been to Schlemmerbuffet several times while I lived in Berlin, and I even brought my visiting family members from Kaiserslautern here who also enjoyed the food as much as my friend and I. The only issue that concerned my family and I was how the staff didn't use gloves when preparing food. We've noticed this a few times in Germany. All I can say is that we're still alive and healthy. Looking to expand your Döner Kebap horizons beyond Mustafas? Consider adding Schlemmerbuffet to your list.

This is probably my favourite place for Tavuk şiş (Chicken shashlik) in Berlin. I ate it many times and every time it tastes the same - just perfect. It's served with rice, grilled tomatoe and big quantity of salad. Very friendly service, big, good quality meal for a relatively low price. I have never tried their pizza and dönner but they look tasty as well.

This was the only place open after 10 p.m. near my hotel, so I had no choice but to order a piping hot kabob for 2 euros. Only... that's not what I got. The dudes upsold me a chicken plate that was waaay too big for one, and I'd wished I'd stuck with the granola bar in my room. So if you're hungry and it's late, keep looking. Because this place is only so-so.

This restaurant is amazing. They are always open, the döner is hot and fresh, the roasted chicken is amazing, and Jakob, the counter guy, is very kind and speaks excellent English. This place is easily my favorite spot in town, right off the M1 & 12 Rosenthaler Platz Tram stop, it's easy to visit, and they even had a high hair for our toddler. HIGHLY recommend. Just go, you won't regret it!

Just Ridiculous how good this place is. Busy 24/7. Complicated flavor profiles, layers of goodness that change and dance between bites as you work your way from the more salady top to the more meaty/saucy middle. The last few bites are so tasty you will want to continue EVEN IF you are so full you wish you could stop. This is the kind of place that could turn you into a glutton. It's the kind of food you keep eating even after you are 100percent sure you don't need any more. If I lived here, I would definitely need a full scale intervention to keep me away. If one of the owners happens to read this (or a translation of it), PLEASE apply for a USA visa and come to West LA and open a shop. I will sponsor you. Yes, it is that freakin good. No I am not drunk. It's just that freakin'... ... ok, you get the idea.

The "döner" (gyro) is reallllly good! Instead of a pita, they use homemade bread pockets. You get your choice of chicken or beef. (We went with the beef. 3 different types of white sauce to choose from. We loaded ours up with everything. (Onions, lettuce, red cabbage, tomatoes and white sauce). Super delicious! The bread seals the deal. The only thing that kept me from giving them 5 stars is that one of the employees was kind of a snot.

Tbh i like the chicken here, the lamb is great too. You don't need to buy the whole plate you can just order them separately. I love this place when I am lazy to cook I can just buy grilled half chicken to eat with rice at home. It is not super delicious but it is fast, convenient and again, if you eat meat try grilled half chicken with salad!

They give you a lot of food. I'll give them that. But then, it was more expensive than the other casual restaurants I've been to here in Berlin. (8 euro 50, and I brought my own water.) And the staff is friendly. (For example, they let me bring in my own water. :)) But the taste! I got a "grill plate" with lamb. The only flavor was salt, and quite a lot of it. It came with rice, also salty, and a "salat" of tomatoes, onions, cucumber and parsley which had no seasoning or dressing. There were three sauces available to add on the side. So I tried using those to improve the taste of the meat and the salad. :P...I basically forced myself to eat enough to sustain me and left the rest on the table. :( I hate wasting food!! Don't let the fact that this place is busy fool you. If you have discerning tastebuds, go elsewhere.

This is my 100th review, and I've been agonizing for a while over what business should get my 100th review. Actually, I noticed my pace of reviewing slowed down because I was agonizing over this problem. I am so glad it came to me--obviously my 100th review should be for the place I ate at most often while in Berlin: Rosenthaler Grill. This place has the best döner I've tasted anywhere in Berlin. They are insanely popular so the meat is never old and gross, like at some places I won't mention. The veggie fillings are fresh and bounteous, and their sauces are delicious--my strong preference is for the Knoblauchsoße. The staff remind me so much of my hometown of Philly. Yes, it is a little terrifying if you're at all unsure about what you want to order, but the people here really are sweet and if you seem truly clueless, they do have pity. I became a definite regular here and at some point I started gauging whether I was eating out too often by whether the guys gave me that, "Hey, great to see you!" vibe or the questioning, "Good God, don't you have a stove?" vibe. lol It isn't just their döner that is really good. I ate a LOT of their rotisserie chicken. That stuff is addictive, with the perfectly browned and caramelized skin. Yum! Also, their Grillteller are amazing, with an array of döner meat, sausages, cuts of lamb, etc. My sweetie and I also started eating their Italian dishes and those are really good, especially the more spicy pasta items. The only thing I was disappointed by was their falafel, but aside from that these guys turn out consistently amazing food. Definitely check this place out!

It's one of those places where you eat only because you're really hungry and have no other option. Last night was exactly one of these - after drinking at a bar [and not eating anything but lunch] I got the munchies at 3am... so what will I do? marched in here, took a lahmacun with some meet and cabbage, and went away to catch my tram home. As I was eating - I felt like things don't really add up [tastewise] but didn't care, and as started to get full it just occured to me that this thing just doesn't taste good. so I threw away half of it, shouldv'e taken those fries. The staff were nice and also speak some English [even though I don't really need it anymore :D] - but this place smells of tourism. and not in a good way. Sometimes it's just better off staying hungry.

Luckily, we lived close enough to come here whenever we wanted to. The döner are so good, I never got around to trying any of the other dinner dishes, though they looked great. And I'm not a big fan of the döner, in most cases. Not fancy at all, just real good and open real late. Like, all the time, so you can go in the middle of the night. Friendly and fast counter service. I wish I could go there right now!

Leckerdie Fleischqualität ist super der Service könnte etwas besser sein aber den nimmt man gerne in kauf beim leckeren Midnight Snackenjoy

My girlfriend and I went out of our way to come here and, wow, did we make the right call. I can only speak for the durum Donner & the doner + brot but they were absolutely magnificent. The meat was crispy & tender. The spicy powder is no joke, too. We'll be going out of our way to come here again for sure.

OH MAN the Memories!!! Came here back in 2007 on Berlin Trip with the boys. Many o nights ended or began here with a delicious Doner Kebab. The best I had in Berlin, both when there were hardly any restaurants in the area and even now when I go back 6 years later with nothing but restaurants lining that street. The ingredients are fresh and flavors are good, open late with plenty on the menu. I usually ask for my doner kebab made on a Lamajun which costs a little extra but adds other flavors to the mix.

This spot rocks. We were staying at the St. Olberholtz apartments for a week and this place is always open. At first I was thinking it'd suck since it's got a good location and the service is gruff. Also you have to know what to order. I fell in love with Doner Kebab while I was in Berlin and got a ton of those here and elsewhere. I liked one at this place Mustafa in another neighborhood and that was the only other one as good as this place. I did try it as a wrap on the last night but I prefer it in the bread.

The fact that it's open 24 hours is probably is greatest asset. Of course, they don't leave the doner spit running all night, so you get leftovers at 6am in the morning. But like I always say: some doner is better than no doner!

Not my favorite Döner in Berlin, but pretty good, and they have other options and are open late. The staff is friendly... maybe a little too friendly at times. Be prepared to be flirted with, regardless of gender!

My husband and I stopped here for lunch and I ordered the Döner Special (9.90€). The food was made quickly and tasted excellent. The garlic sauce was especially amazing and the quantity of food was plentiful. A decent place to dine for sure.

So delicious. Got half a chicken plus a huge serving of rice plus dipping sauce plus bread for less than 5 Euro. This is a nice place for a casual, quick lunch and you are really hungry. The other stuff looked tasty as well.

Rosenthaler Grill makes you love Berlin. Open late for the perfect drunken nosh, and all day quality. Don't be put off by the 'unfriendly' staff, it is just "berliner Schnauze" (look it up). My picks are the Pizza Rosenthaler, with lots of garlic and shrimps, made fresh, puts the trendy pizza place next door to shame. Kuzu Shish (grilled lamb cubes on a skewer) is also very good, get it in a dürüm bread or on a plate. They are famous for their grilled chicken too.

Good food for sitting or taking. Tasty kabobs and also half chickens. Lots of variety. It ranks highly among all the kabobs I have tried everywhere. If I lived here I'm sure it would be a regular stop for me. No worries when eating here!

There are better, MUCH better Döner places in Berlin. When I went the staff were incredibly rude. I ordered - in German - a Döner im Brot, got my eyes rolled at me and rushed to say whether I wanted beef or chicken, but never asked what kinds of sauces I wanted. I got handed a wrap instead, and charged more. I said I ordered a Döner im Brot and the staff tried to argue with me. Eventually, I got my proper order and my money back (the difference in price), but it wasn't even that good of a Döner. Find elsewhere to go!

Nothing to write home about. Tried an egg and spinach lahmacun and weren't impressed. Ok bottled beer selection but no draught. Nice to sit outside on the corner of Rosenthalerplatz but there are many nicer venues. This place is a little run down.

Okay I went here because I was visiting Berlin and I saw through Yelp that this place is popular. When I first walked in the guy did not give me any time to look at the menu. He just wanted me to order. Personally I hate when people rush me when I am looking at food. Second of all If you don't know German you are in for a long run. I specifically told the guy I wanted chicken and he gave me kabab instead. I am not that mad because it sure was really good. But the guy was a jerk. He also charged me extra for something and I did not bother to argue because an extra 50pens does not kill me. Overall, I won't go again just because how I was treated. But if you know German I suggest going to try it out.

My partner comes to Berlin every year and always tells me about this place for their amazing kebabs. This year I have come with him for the first time and can see what all the fuss is about. We had an amazing meal here and will probably go back before we leave. I recommend the Brot! We have tried a couple of other places with similar cuisine and they are all generally good (Berlin does Turkish food so well) you actually feel like you had a healthy meal after eating a kebab here unlike back in the UK where you feel a bit dirty! This place is by far the best of a good bunch.

If you're drunk and hungry, I bet this place is awesome. But when you're not, you'll notice that they put their falafels in the deep frying dish with their French Fries and pick them out. Something tells me this isn't how they do it in Turkey They have a million choices, which seems great, but it's never a good indication of the quality of the food. Service is gruff and not that nice. Try not to eat here if there's anything else open.

Fantastic döner, insanely quick service and overall pretty cheap. It's not located far away from the must-see museums/alexanderplatz/brandenburger tor, and definitely worth the 10 minute walk. Also close to Mein Haus am See, the 24 hours open hipster club. The guys behind the counter seem pretty stressed out, so you would be wise to have your order ready.

Oh doner kebab, how I love thee. And in Berlin, where Doner is plentiful, you can't go wrong with the Rosenthaler Grill und Schlemmerbuffet. In the poppin' area of Prenzauerberg, and surrounding by bars and other restaurants, it is not just a great area to eat, but just a great area to relax and have fun in general. And you will enjoy what you eat. Doner kebab, with fresh lettuce, cabbage, yogurt sauce, and meat that turns over fast enough that you are almost assured some fresh and hot doner. It is not the best doner i've had, as I prefer the yogurt sauce at some other places, but it is damn good and huge for the price. Such Value. 3.4 euro for a Doner im Brot, but I recommend that you pay the extra 50 cents for a large one, which comes with extra meat. Rarely have i ever been so satisfied with such a meal for so cheap. And the fact that it's open 24/7? Well...I will see you again in 2 hours and 5 beers.

i remember when this place used to be just a hole in the wall, standing room only, dishing out kebab after kebab well into the early hours. 5/6 years ago, i would have rated this probably the best chicken doener around, and i would grab one nearly every night on my way home around 6am. i rarely drop by these days. while the food here isnt anywhere near the bottom, it certainly isnt special either. better seasoned than some, fresh due to high volume of business, and their sic kebap is actually quite good. but on the downside, its really just another fast food place, dishing out slightly better than average doener with super mayonnaise-y sauces to hundreds of tourists and locals a day. i will always miss how they made fun of my friends and i's still new german all those years ago, and how the food tasted while blind drunk, but i wont recommend 'schlemmer' to anyone soon.

A great place! Free wifi for 30 minutes and the food is awesome! Best pasta I ate in Berlin! Cheap and delicious! Highly recommended!

I have tried many döners and dürüm döners in Berlin and worldwide. I am still searching, but until further notice, this is my favorite dürüm döner (mit Krauter & chili, without onions).
