If you didn't eat a kebab in Berlin, did you even go? its the most iconic food in Berlin. And i was…read moreon the hunt to find the best. I tried 6+ different spots and ruyam was by far the best. Came here on a Thursday at ~11am (to avoid the lunch rush) and it was jam packed with students and working professionals. Luckily the staff here are super efficient yet patient with customers. It's self-service. You order at the counter and they'll call out your number. Many claimed their seats before ordering, which id recommend as there are only ~15 tables inside. Once I ordered, food was ready in ~5min. And it was huge! A fresh flatbread slathered with a delicious garlic sauce and stuffed with warm juicy chicken kebab sliced fresh off the spit and fresh salad mix. The thought of this kebab sandwhich is making me drool. The toppings were almost falling out because of how much they stuffed in. Probably one of the best bites I had in Berlin! And for €8, it was a steal! When I went it was not crowded and typical. The staff mentioned it's usually a 40-60 min wait with lines out the door.

Vegan kebaps are a big thing in Berlin…read more These come in two designs. While some establishments serve both, it is not uncommon to have a kebap place to have one version but not the other. The two versions are: 1) Serve a kebap made of seitan Often there will be a sign in front of the restaurant specifying both vegan and seitan. 2) Serve a non-meat kebap adding vast amounts of grilled vegetables to the sandwich. Here the code word is Gemuse as in Gemuse Kebaps. Gemuse means vegetables. Seitan or vegetables, you can't go wrong either way. * * * Gemuse Kebap and Friends is in the second school. No Seitan appears on their menu. For the record, no beef appears on their menu either. Your choices are chicken in various forms, falafel, grilled halloumi cheese, and simple vegetables straight up. Their product is outstanding. I had a halloumi cheese kebap (with a ton of vegetables). My wife had an all gemuse kebap - vegetables being the name of the game. * * * Both sandwiches were outstanding. The vegetables involved were tomatoes, onions and insanely good peppers. (The North Sea coast grows some of the best sweet red peppers on the planet. Most of those peppers come from the Dutch side.) There were sauces on the sandwich, but basically what was carrying both versions was the vegetables being copious and seriously seriously good. For what it is worth, grilled halloumi cheese is bland comfort food. The cheese picks up some of the taste of the grill. But mostly the cheese just adds heft and protein. Heft and protein are good things. * * * A lot of kebap places are real hole in the wall places. The interiors are modest, occasionally bordering on the grungy. You sit outside on folding chairs. Gemuse Kebap and Friends has better real estate. It has two "shop slots" rather than one - not a rarity but always welcome. You can sit indoors in a setting not unlike a good fast food place. And if you absolutely positively have to sit outdoors rather than indoors, There are tables on the sidewalk where you can eat too. * * * Overall, a first rate place. Is this a place for destination dining with your most important business client? In that case, you want some place fancier. But if you and a bunch of friends want to drink beer and eat well while goofing around, I recommend Gemuse Kebap and Friends enthusiastically.

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.

I ordered a chicken donor with all veggies and it was heavenly. The sauces and meat mixed really well. The meat was tender (the other place was dry and tasteless). The price is only 5 Euro and I was super full so definitely recommend trying it with a German beer. The service was very quick and efficient. The other place was over an hour wait so definitely make sure to pick the right donor!!!

The meat is tender and flavorful; it's definitely fresh, since you see them slice it right off. Also, the blend of the veggies, meat, and sauces meld so perfectly in this dish. Price & Portion: 10/10 It's 5 euros for an entire meal!! The kebap was very filling for me. However, if you want even more food, you can get the doner, which is slightly bigger. Service: 8/10 They were very fast and friendly! They speak English here, so don't be afraid if you don't speak any German. Ambience: 5/10 It's definitely more of a casual/fast vibe. The place is pretty small, with a couple of stools lining the sides and a couple tables outside. You can eat inside, but it's not a great place for large groups.

A doner kebab is served in a pocketed bread, while a dürüm kebab is served with a thin wrap rolled around the same ingredients. I ordered the chicken doner kebab. They accept credit cards. The chicken was somewhat salty (1 star off), but the veggies and sauces were tasty. The bread was buttered and toasted, so it had a nice crunch. The doner kebab was big and messy to eat. I wished they offered a larger paper wrapper. There was no seating, so you have to eat it while walking on the street like a savage or pick one of the dirty street benches out front to camp out at. Dürüm is neater and more portable, so you might consider that option if you're self-conscious. Tip: Grab several paper towels from the counter with your kebab *before* you get sauce and grease all over your face.
