Mmm curry. Say what you want, but a spot like this is perfect for a little snack or lunch option. We were nearby at Mustafas and knew this was a must stop based off the amount of reviews. We went with the original and loved it. The crunch of the fries, the curry sauce and mayo...delicious! We could use a few locations like this in the states. read more

Curry 36 - Mmm - Food Stands Near Me - Berlin, BE

3.5 stars When I first heard about the Currywurst, I assumed it was a curry-flavored sausage with spices mixed in with the meat. But actually, it's nothing but a pork sausage topped with curry ketchup, a thick tomato-based sauce dressed with curry powder. The sweet flavor of the ketchup dominated the dish, and the curry powder didn't have much perceivable flavor at all. The sausage had a smooth, soft texture and was nicely aromatic with herbs. I can't say that I understand the popularity of this Berliner snack, but it's a unique dish worth trying indeed! read more

I wondered to myself if Curry 36 would be another overrated hot spot. I was hungry and tired, so decided to head on over to scope it out. Line wasn't too bad on a weekday afternoon with about 5 or 6 people ahead of me. Got confusing as the one queue somehow turned into two and I got a little annoyed that folks basically got to cut by jumping into the second one. There were some communication issues on ordering (my bad for not knowing any German), but I thought it was an easy peasy order. 1 bockwurst (saw it on the menu) and 1 fry. Cashier looked annoyed and I was going through the path of uh oh this ordering isn't going as planned. Anyway, somehow an order got through and they handed me a sauceless wurst and fries. Damn it. I asked for ketchup (meant the curry sauce cuz they look the same, ugh my bad) and all I got was regular ketchup on the side. Initially stood to eat since their few tables were taken up but I eventually snag a spot as some people left. Hungry and digging in, I thought it was OK. The sausage and fries were fresh and hot...mixing everything together the sausage and fries were eventually all slathered with a various mix of ketchup, mustard, and mayo. With the ordering debacle, I got no curry sauce. Anyway, it wasn't anything that blew my socks off. Sliced sausage and fries slathered in condiments. It would make a good college hangover snack not something I'd stand in a super long line for. Total cost was 4.xx Euros. Was it overrated? Sorta. Still might be worth a trip if you're close and need a quick bite. read more

I thought the currywurst here was ok. It's supposed to be one of the best places for curry sausage, so maybe I'm not into this sort of dish. Currywurst is essentially just a hot dog with curry powder and ketchup on it. I came on a weekday night and the line was still pretty long - maybe a 30 min wait with 10 people in front. It seemed like almost everyone in line were tourists. I got the currywurst that came with fries. The sausage itself was pretty small, and I don't think the flavoring added that much. The fries were decent, pretty crispy, but nothing out of the ordinary. The portion size was pretty small, and it came out to around 6.70 euros which I think is pretty expensive for better quality and bigger portion size food you can find around Berlin. read more

This place has the best vegan Currywurst that I know about. This would already give it 5 stars in my opinion as this sadly is quite rare In 2021 when you go to a place that is mainly geared towards meat eaters. They also prepare the vegan sausage completely seperste from the meat based products so there is no cross conterminatiom happening. Prices are on the cheaper side as it is a "Imbiss" but the vegan sausage is a bit more expensive then the meat original. Now they also have vegan Mayo so you can also enjoy your side of fries the euorpean way and still vegan. read more

The food was quite good, had to try the currywürste and it was tasty. The service was also quick and they were very friendly.

It was after 1A, I had flown from Los Angeles to Stockholm (for the day), then to Berlin - checked into our hotel and hadn't eaten much at all. I couldn't get my hands on some German sausage any sooner! The place was abuzz but the service was super quick. It was delish!!!! I probably could have been set with just one but I ordered the double sausage, with fries, ketchup and mayo and just about devoured every last bite standing out-front drinking a Berliner Pilsner. If you're into quick, cheap, fill you up fast food this is the place to be. I'd advise to go easy because just a few steps away are other really tasty looking options (Mustafa kebob) as well. read more

Curry 36 - Currywurst (no bread or fries, 1.70 euro, July 2018) - Food Stands Near Me - Berlin, BE

In searching for good eats in Berlin, stumbled upon a blog post that called Curry 36 the best currywurst so we had to check it out! On a Tuesday afternoon, they had a decent sized crowd but the lines moved fast. In addition to a la carte, they have some special meal options, including 2 currywursts with fries for €5.20. We later learned that this good deal isn't offered at all the locations. You can also choose if you want the sausage to having casing/skin. So let's get to the food - rather than a thick curry sauce, they sprinkle curry powder topped with ketchup, which I really liked since the curry wasn't overpowering. Sausage with no casing was interesting, it changes the texture. And the fries had a nice crunch. A very good snack option. read more

I had no idea what a currywurst was until I started reading about it before my trip to Berlin. The best way to describe it is a hot dog chopped in slices and doused with curry powder and tomato sauce. You eat it with a toothpick. It turns out to be the junk-food staple for the populace there akin to burgers, fish n' chips, and tacos over here. I read that if you are going for your virginal currywurst experience, this is, hands down, the place to patronize. It's in the down-low neighborhood of Kruezberg where there is no dearth of bargain-priced eateries, a lot of them ethnic and I'm sure plenty of them good eatin'. Curry 36 is really just a two-window stand with a bunch of stand-up tables very similar to the original Nathan's at Coney Island. Like Nathan's, it's hugely popular with queues all night long, but unlike Nathan's, they move pretty quickly in there and serve with little fuss. I ordered the standard Currywurst for 1.50 Euros, upon which the server asked me whether I wanted more than that. Assuming he meant it was going to be a bit paltry, I ordered a pile of Pommes Frites (French fries to you philistines) with a dollop of mayonnaise on top for another 1.50 Euros. The combination came in a semi-flimsy paper holder which you transport quickly to any available table space (see photos). Now I know what the server meant as the burly guy next to me was downing at least four franks worth of currywurst with some carb-heavy bread rolls. I guess that's pretty standard since it's a relative bargain for the quantity you get. Anyway, did I mention the currywurst here is trailer-trash delicious? How could it not be since the spicy kick of the curry marries the sausage and tomatoes quite seamlessly. I have to admit for all that, the standout item has to be the fries which are done just short of crisp and work nicely with the mayo and tomato sauce all slopped together. FOOD - 5 stars...junk food worthy of its reputation AMBIANCE - 2.5 stars...a stool would have been nice SERVICE - 4 stars...fast...and they speak English with ease TOTAL - 5 stars...hey, it's good enough for me to consider opening a currywurst food truck in San Francisco read more

I was intimidated by long lines at all hours of the day, well, especially at night when it seems to be really popping, but I was able to avoid waiting in line one evening, and took my friends to go here! The rumours are true: best currywurst in Berlin!! And the service is really fast! I want to also say that the fries are so freakin' delicious! Ah, love it. If I lived in Kreuzberg, this would probably be my snack at all hours of the day, that is how much I love it, and it is also cheap, and the employees are super friendly! A MUST-GO PLACE IN BERLIN! read more

After WWII, strange things happened. Some of them deserve to live on. Some, like the Berlin Wall, do not. Here is one that we can cherish for years to come, as long as you come to Curry 36 for Currywurst! Take German sausage, add a little English curry, and throw in some American ketchup and you have an original fusion of three cultures. Throw in French fries and fresh mayonnaise, and you are in fusion nirvana. Even if you have to stand in line for a while, eat standing up with a huge, hungry, yet polite and law abiding crowd under an awning, are you crazy enough to miss this? Don't do it. Try it once and experience fusion life. read more

Curry 36 - Currywurst (€1.70) - Food Stands Near Me - Berlin, BE

4AM on a post-party Saturday morning = MUNCHIES TIME. But where oh where??? =( Streets of Berlin are mostly quiet, not quite sleeping but on the way to winding down, and then... YES CURRY 36 SMELLS SO GOOD. Yes I take the sausage. Yes I take the fries. Yes I take the sauces, yes ALL of the sauces. Yes I don't know exactly what I'm ordering but I do remember from four years of French class that 'apple of the earth' sounds about right. Smothered, Suffocating, and Slimy. The mayochup was strong with this one. Much too strong. I suppose liquid lubricant makes it easy to consume (aka slide down throat) regardless how drunk you are. The chunks of meat were consumed quickly. The fries required some scraping, and sadly many were lost forever in the tar. Lots of talk on how much you would need to get paid, to drink up the rest of the pink goo. We settled somewhere on 200 euros. read more

Curry 36 - Double Currywurst with fries - Food Stands Near Me - Berlin, BE

Very interesting. The sauce is like a chipotle ketchup. I'd definitely give it a try if you're in the area! One order is good for sharing.

To make it brief: * A great currywurst experience. I liked the "eco" currywurst even better than the traditional. It's a tiny bit more expensive but worth it. * Cheap (even the beer) * Fun atmosphere. Line moves quickly. There's actually TWO registers so make sure that you look for the one that's just past the first. It is usually just Berliners in that line since you can't tell it's there until you've already been waiting. * They speak English with ease. I'd go back in a second. read more

Curry 36 - Currywurst with fries and beer - Food Stands Near Me - Berlin, BE

There are many currywurst outlets throughout Berlin, but this is the 'go to' spot. You see it on all the travel shows, it's in all the guides. Yes, it's part tourist trap and part foodie heaven. It is definitely worth trying at least once. The price is right (cheap) and unlike most places in the US, you can get a beer with your weenie and they were made to go together. Just to get it straight, currywurst is definitely not some adapted East-Indian concoction. It is a sliced-up sausage smothered in ketchup and then lavishly covered with a curry-pepper powder, served on a paper tray and eaten with toothpicks. You have a choice of different sausages (you can see them grilling in the window) and they range from a glorified hotdog to weisswurst. Good tourist and poser watching. Watch your wallet as the place is full of tourists and with the tourists come the miscreants. read more

I never had currywurst before Curry 36 but I assumed I would love it before I tried it. 1) I love German sausage 2) I love curry. Putting both together is probably the best idea...EVER! I think the night I tried 3 or 4 different types of currywurst. It was all amazing. If I ever visit Berlin again, I will definitely be stopping by. I know there is a currywurst place in Manhattan. I can't wait to try it and see if it compares! read more

We asked around where the best currywurst in Berlin for locals was, and this was the answer given. The portions are generous, it's cheap and when you ask for spicy, that's what you actually get! They speak english well too. It's basically sausage or varying types lavishly sprinkled with curry powder and a few other spices before being topped with a sour sweet rich tomato ketchup. It's a flavour quite special and whilst easily reproducible having it anywhere but germany doesn't feel the same. read more

Good: Cheap and delicious. I decided to check out the place because of hype but I actually enjoyed the food a lot. The ketchup is super delicious and the sausages are cooked just the way I like - slightly crisp edges and very juicy. The French fries were really good too. Not so Good: The line can get long during lunch hours but it moves quickly. I think we only waited 20 minutes during lunch. Note: At night, the line wasn't as bad and at 3AM there was no line at all.

Curry 36 - Yum! - Food Stands Near Me - Berlin, BE

Obviously, Curry 36 is a place most famous for its currywurst, so as a vegan, I can't really to speak to how good it may or may not be. But I came here with an American omnivore friend who was in Germany for the first time and, naturally, needed to try out this Berlin speciality. Not knowing what the "best" place is, I do know that this particular stretch of Mehringdamm is frequented by fans of currywurst and döner, so I opted to take him here. He ordered a regular currywurst, which is €1,50. For an extra 30 cents, you can also get the organic currywurst, if you're into that sort of thing. We also asked for two orders of fries (one "rot-weiss" and one ketchup) and everything was done very quick. Luckily, there was no line to speak of, although the place was plenty packed. However, the guy taking our orders totally gave us the wrong fry orders. Somehow "rot weiss" became mayonnaise, but no big deal, because the order wasn't for me. Throw in a half liter of beer and a Coke Light and the total was around €8. All I can speak to at this point is the fries, and yes, they too are sprinkled with some curry powder. They were also lukewarm, and overall tasted weird, so I can't really say that I would ever come back at any point, as there is no real reason for me to. read more

While waiting for Mustafas, I decided to stop by this place because a friend recommended it and I wanted to hit two birds with one stone and try the staple Berlin street foods in one meal: currywurst and döner. There were also lots of people hanging around the front of the stand, so it looked promising. Knowing I would soon have a giant sandwich in hand, I ordered just one sausage with no fries just to try it. I could see some curry powder over the ketchup, but as soon as I took a bite I knew this would just be a ketchup adventure. Even without previous currywurst experience, I could tell this wasn't the best around. There was hardly any curry taste to the ketchup, and there was way too much ketchup anyway. I was still left with a little plateful of ketchup after generously dousing each bite of wurst into the sauce. The wurst itself was ok, nothing to write home about but was hot and flavorful. Come here to satiate your hunger while in line or if you're already around the area, don't make a special trip for it. I did still feel like I got a Berlin experience from it though! read more

Currywurst.. I've heard about this stuff nonstop since I moved to Germany. I saved my first experience for Berlin, as I heard this is where the Currywurst gods live! After a late night of hit and miss spots (mostly miss) I wanted to just end my night and go back to my hotel. But, my tummy was a grumblin, and I thought what better time to try a Berlin favorite. Now, I don't know if it's this particular place or currywurst in general.. but.. I just don't love the stuff. I get that it's ketchup and curry powder.. but at least mix it together? I felt like the ketchup was just watered down tomato paste, with some sprinkles of curry powder. One plus was that the fries were good and crispy... read more

As a vegan, the review might not be helpful for a lot of Curry 36 typical clients, but their vegan option is delicious.

However, it would be super nice to have more possibilities, such as vegan mayo. read more

This is about as good as currywurst can get. I tried it at a few places along the way, and the sausages were all thin hot dogs with too much of a catsup-py taste. This place? Takes the cake.
