    A chain of very good kebap places…read more We ate at the Imren Grill in Neukolln. Neukolln is a heavily Turkish neighborhood which is gentrifying. Outside of two shopping malls, most of the street commercial establishments are old school Turkish. There literally must be a dozen kebap grills within two blocks of Imren, Including a vegan one next door. The other kebap places had modest numbers of customers. (Modest in some cases meant none.) There was a crowd and a line at Imren. The crowd is half Turkish and half German families. The crowd is impressive given the large number of competing places that don't have many customers. Imren also gets the approval of both the Turkish residents of old Neukolln and the German residents of new Neukolln. That Imren is good is a major consensus point. * * * Imren really IS excellent. I had a durum which is kebap in a wrap rather than on bread. Durum is a hell of an easier way to eat kebap. Kebap can often be overflowing and messy when served on pita bread. At least one cooking secret of Imren is a superior spicy sauce inside the sandwich. At Imren, It is not so much that the spicy sauce is spicy. (Its not.) It is that the sauce is acidic. The acid cuts any fat or grease in the kebap and makes the dish tangy. The sandwich was intoxicating. * * * I did not get very much chance to enjoy my kebap. The place is small. The front has just enough room for the line, the counter and the kitchen where they fix your food. The back room is kind of "cheap tiny apartment in an older building." There is barely enough space for six compact tables and an equal number of stools against the wall. Whole families eat there. An army of people are in line. You hope you get a table after you get your food. You eat knowing that a whole corridor of people want your table. Eat fast and move on. * * * There are other places in Berlin where you can linger over your kebap, The most common lingering arrangement is a table on the sidewalk often with beer from a convenience store to make the occasion last. I am not much of a drinker of beer on folding chairs on sidewalks. However, if you want to linger, you can probably find a kebap place as good as Imren, Given that there must be over a thousand kebap places in the city. But you will have to do just a whole lot of looking. * * * There are some very odd negative reviews if you read the other reviews on Yelp. a) Some Yelpers don't like the fact that the staff is brusque. The staff IS brusque. They serve long lines on their feet all day while also having to do a lot of the cooking. They are under constant pressure to put out the food put out the food put out the food. They don't have time to chat and they don't have time for dillydallying. Give them your order and move on. There are people behind you. b) One Yelper claims Imren is a tourist trap - which he knows because he was born in Berlin. If he was born in Berlin, is he aware that Neukolln is NOT a tourist area? The tourists go to Mitte, and Museum Island and to the Brandenburg gate. No one is going to the Turkish residential areas. * * * Imren has its fans and supporters on Yelp. I would be more inclined to pay attention to the positive reviews.

    Imren is the reason why 1 star review exist. Have you ever been scammed or went to a tourist trap?…read more I am a native berliner. Born and raised and this place is a disgrace. They spent tons of money in marketing and pay merchandise and YouTubers to promote their shitty spot. Why is it that bad? 1) For 4€ - the portions are almost just bread. I laughed when I received my Döner. Like seriously? 2) The taste - don't be fooled. Berliner Döner are way better than this. 3) Hygiene- we all love when the person serving you using his hands to do all the shit. Overall. I am very disappointed by Imren in all areas and disappointed by everyone who seriously promotes this place.
