I am not quite sure what the difference between homey Turkish food and what is not. I am going to…read moreassume homey entails more focus on the food and ingredients rather than the presentation and other things. One glance at this place and it certainly looks homey if not rather like a one pot, buffet, fast food kind of style. There was counter full of prepared food in the back and you can pick and choose your meal from thy selection. No there's nothing created here a la minute but the price kind of reflects that. While I can't comment on the authenticity of the food, I can say without a doubt it is tasty...for the most part. Everything does indeed taste "homey" as every dish is sort of a mis-mash of different vegetables and meats in a consistent sauce. By that I mean most of the dishes have similar sauces a tastes quite similar despite it having different ingredients. The rice is a nicely prepared with fantastic texture and just the right amount of squeakiness to them all the while still soft and pillowy. The chicken is sightly dry but very nicely compensated with the great sauce that it's bathed in. Sadly this meal wasn't quite as memorable as I had hope for. Unlike the Turkish cuisines I have had in the past there wasn't one or more dishes I would recommend of you must order. Everything tastes good -- like a every day good kind of meal mom used to prepare.

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.

We tried not to be so germ-a-phobic about this but then when we all got a really bad stomach bug after eating here and our daughter ended up in hospital (to be fair, it may not have been Oase that caused it but it is one of two possibilities) we just stopped going here altogether. UPDATE: We have tried almost every place nearby with good reviews and none have been as good as Oase. We decided to give them another chance and have noticed that they wash their hands before handling the food now.

Have you ever gone back to the hotel from a great night out, full of joy and good memories? And…read morethen you realize you didn't eat too much in between all those beers and drinks? You are hungry as a bricklayer at the end of a long shift. This is the situation I found myself in - at 2am, knowing nothing about locating edible stuff in Berlin at this time of night. Across the street was an all night kiosk, but the thought of eating candy or biscuits just didn't do it for me. And then it miraculously happened - around the corner came a beautiful girl, clearly enjoying her kebab. Sauce on her cheeks, happiness in her eyes, and oblivious to her surroundings. And I knew. I turned the corner and moved like a lion smelling meat - and found an oasis, named Oase. Full of people it was, full of choices and offering friendly and fast service. Mouthwatering I navigated through the questionnaire that eventually resulted in a great Kebab that I devoured while enjoying the lively place. Everything homemade, everything hot or cold as it should be. One of the tricks to make a good kebab is to alternate between content, e.g. a little salad, then a little meat, then a few tomatoes, then a little sauce, then salad again, then meat, etc. until it is full. That way, the taste is the same throughout the eating experience. Trick of the trade, but not everybody knows. Yes, you say, but you were hungry and drunk, so what good is that for a review? I agree. But I went back in the bright daylight and tasted another one, and it was just as awesome as the one I had the night before. Awesome luck for me, awesome food from Oase.

The falafels were fried to order, which I appreciate. After the falafels were ready, the gentleman working put them in a wrap and then went to the bar of vegetables and toppings in front of me. He added hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and I think a spicy mustard. After he finished stuffing the wrap, he rolled it up and placed it on a grill press for a few minutes. My falafel wrap was delicious and full of flavors and textures! Starting with crunchy! It had a big crunch from the grilled wrap. Then I got the added crunch from the falafel. It was then followed by the smooth and savory hummus. The vegetables were a perfect addition. Extra: Vegan options Open late - 3 am! A few seats inside Outdoor seating available It was authentic, inexpensive, fresh, fast, and they were open late! My falafel wrap was the best late night snack that didn't make me feel guilty or bloated the next day. Also, the service was good too! The gentleman working was kind and had great energy. We chatted for a little, it was really nice. I wish him the best of luck. If you're in the area, I highly suggest stopping by.
