This place is great. The food is fantastic. It feels like I could actually be in Berlin. Highly suggest this place. If you're a fan of kebabs in this style, I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

The sandwich felt too salad-adjacent for me personally. I don't know enough about the category to know if it's supposed to be this way. It's also possible that I should have gotten chicken instead of beef. The cabbage was good and I enjoyed the sauces but would have liked hot sauce higher in the mix. The bread was great. read more

I wasnt so much a fan of the sandwich I had. The flavors were a little bitter and the bread was too hard for my liking. I do enjoy the cuisine served, so I would come back and customize my order a little more to see if that helps. The service was efficient and friendly. read more

Came here for my lunch salad. I was a big fan of this place in midtown east. That's a joke what I received for $16.60 with tax. It was almost no salad and no toppings (2 tiny slices of tomatoes, smallest amount of lettuce and almost no onions). I see that all bad reviews being right. For this price it's a rip off and it's a salad that normally in another places you can't even finish. So sad because their chicken and sauces is really delicious and special. I wish that management will do something about it. read more

Loved this place! Unfortunately, they were out of the beef, but we had the chicken (as a regular dǒner and a wrap) and it was delicious. read more

Ok I was going to give this place a much lower star value because at around 1:15 they were already out of the tofu and the roasted vegetables (and I had prepaid / preordered the vegan kebab on ClassPass), but it was actually still pretty good. They gave me two premium sides instead (cauliflower and hummus) which weren't quite as satisfying as the tofu would have been but still quite good. I'll say this place is still worth a try if you're vegetarian/vegan, but they seem to have inventory issues so try to come early in the day (11-12:30pm) to make sure they're in stock and the food is fresh and available. read more

Kotti Berliner Döner Kebab - Kebab portion size - Kebab Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Side note, I honestly would list this place as German and Turkish along with kebab as I think that's been more accurate than beer garden as the only beer here they have I believe is the alright Radeberger. Döner Kebab serves up a slightly more elevated version of a late night drunk food from the Turkish immigrants found in Berlin and a few other parts of Germany. The food here is decent being better than the Hugh location (which I'm surprised I gave a four but whatever) but is still just fine. The veggies are good quality and the highlight which is odd for this type of sandwich. The bread is an alright take on a pide and the beef which is $2 more is fine though not what I expected in terms of texture and I would go with chicken if I was to go back here. The hot sauce has a good kick reminding me a bit of harissa while the white sauce was pretty standard. This is a decent place within the Dekalb Market but there's better in the surrounding neighborhoods which has better Mediterranean and Middle Eastern options not too far away. Still a good enough option and the portion is quite nice especially for a pricey market like this one. read more

I found this spot on ClassPass' Food & Drink section and decided to give it a try. I was initially having so much trouble finding this food stall, but Kotti Döner Kebab is located right by the escalators in the basement of Dekalb Market Hall. I ordered their Roasted Chicken Rice Pilaf Bowl and waited ~7 min. I was starving, so this bowl SLAPPED. The chicken was tender and their onion-tomato-cucumber-dill tzatziki topping was SO YUMMY with every bite. The service is a bit slower, but it's really only because there's only a few people running a pretty popular stall. Their prices are standard food hall prices, aka not cheap. Had I paid for this bowl instead of ordering through ClassPass (7 credits), this would've came out to $15.25 before tax! Overall, would come back if I'm starving, but was otherwise great to try! read more

I fell in love with donor kebobs when I was studying in Berlin, so I was so excited when Kotti opened locations all over NY. However, this place has gone downhill in portion size and food hygiene. The donor sandwich is 95% salad and 5% meat. There were three people working. One person was at the register, a second person was at the meat station, and the third was at the salad station. The woman working the meat station was all over the place. It wasn't very busy when I was there, but she was speeding through everything to get orders out. Instead of handing over my sandwich to the woman at the salad station, she decided to make my sandwich so quickly that at one point some of the salad fell out of my sandwich on the floor. However, even though I pointed this out to her, what really pissed me off is she took her gloved hand, put it in the blue cheese container and put some cheese on my sandwich. She didn't use the tong! When I pointed this out to her, she stared at me for a few seconds and replied I'm wearing gloves. Wearing gloves DOES NOT guarantee that the gloves are clean! There is a reason you have tongs for each container! She was wearing the gloves while touching equipment while cooking the meat, she used her glove to open the rice cooker, she touched the aluminum foil, and she basically contaminated the glove! It's disgusting to use your hand! I don't care if you are wearing a glove! There is a reason why people get sick from eating food from fast food establishments because the employees do not care about food hygiene! I don't even want to know what happens when people are not looking at how their food is being prepared. Wearing gloves is not a guarantee that your gloves are clean! I am the one who is eating the sandwich! I am the one who will get sick because your employee doesn't understand how quickly you can contaminate food. If her gloves are so clean, she should just use her hands to grab rice out of the rice cooker! The woman who was at the station before was doing a very good job before the other woman took over. It's obvious she doesn't care because she's young and she's working at a fast food place, but she can still do her job in a professional manner. This place was great when it first opened, but this location has completely gone downhill. read more

First time here and it won't be my last. This wrap is so good. It was supposed to be on pita bread I believe but it had sesame seeds and I like to be cautious because of my peanut tree nut allergy.. this is so flavorful read more

This was my first time ordering food from here. I ordered a bowl online and decided to do a pickup order. The food wasn't ready when I arrived and I had to wait a few minutes before the person to acknowledge me. I eventually had to call out to them. They made the bowl while I stood there. They were a bit skimpy on the portion, especially the protein. The food tasted fresh and tasty. The sauces were delicious but the portions did feel small for the price. read more

So I saw the spits and assume the doner would be coming off the spit. But no, only the chicken doner comes off the spit, the steak is just quickly grilled on a flat top and so the steak didn't have that great doner flavor you know and love. Not well seasoned. And honestly that's the whole reaction, just far too bland overall. Negligible sauce, negligible spice, negligible seasoning. I asked for extra spicy sauce and was given a snarky "oh we typically charge extra for this." Seriously? I'm the only person ordering from you on a Saturday night and just paid for a beer and a doner wrap and you're like "oh we normally nickel and dime you for a tiny bit of hot sauce" As average as it gets. Wouldn't get again. read more

Finally tried out this stop in my neighborhood. It's tiny with just a few tables and there was a little bit of a wait before we could order, just as an FYI. I had the Tofu Döner Kebab and it was yumm. The bread was crunchy, the tofu flavorful. Better than some veg Döner in Germany which often tastes like an after thought. Happy to live across the street from this! read more

Solie provided us with great service and was quick to serve us. Great ingredients and quality in the food; will be returning soon!

This has become my favorite spot at the food hall. I was craving some Mediterranean flavors and this spot hit all the spots. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the food came out quickly. We got 2 doner kebabs which had greens, cabbage, onions, feta cheese and a mix of sauces. The menu said they were bigger than burgers and that felt like an understatement! Our sandwich was packed to the brim and super flavorful! We absolutely loved the softness with slight chewiness of the Turkish pide bread. The chicken was juicy and paired well with all the other seasonings and toppings, all for $14.50! This spot blew my taste buds away and I will definitely be visiting again! Great spot for refreshing flavors and a good portion! read more

Wandered in for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the space, the speed, and of course, the food. I ordered a half rice and half salad chicken bowl with all the fixings (white sauce, hot sauce, pickled veg) and waited in the store to run it back to the office. The chicken was juicy and tender, though a little sweeter than I expected. The white sauce didn't have that classic German or Turkish twang of garlic but it was creamy and smooth and cooled the mild spice from the red sauce nicely. Topped off with a cola, my entire meal was reasonable priced, delicious, and fast. The entire meal came out in less than 5 minutes. So why 5 stars to start? Well, I've been eating at kotti since they opened up a spot in dekalb market hall but I will say that this smaller delivery based location is faster and slightly more delicious. (Just slightly though, haha) read more

Located in the basement of the mall, it's very close to the escalator heading downstairs. The restaurant is just one of the 35 outlets in the food court, nothing much to say about the atmosphere/ambiance. The service was quick but the staff didn't seem that friendly to me. Food felt okay, the pita bread and veggies were fresh along with chicken which was flavorful but the quantity of chicken felt less and it felt a lot bready to be precise when having it. The cost is definitely a bit on the higher side compared to the quality which was offered. Overall an average experience. read more

Horrible service and mediocre food. Had ordered the salad with extra chicken. If what I got was "extra chicken" than I can't even imagine how much they serve as a regular portion for that price. It was literally about 5 chunks of chicken. Most of the fix-in's added were bland and also fell very short. I had also asked for a lot of the white sauce and multiple lines of the red sauce as I like it very spicy. I got barely enough white sauce to have the salad not seem dry and one squirt of red sauce. Overall taste lacked flavor. There are better options within IC. read more

A posh döner kebab for the high end office lunch town crowd. Tucked away from on the right side escalator banks as you descend into the Dekalb Market Hall, Kottie Berliner Döner Kebab represents the German national fast food in a sea of cuisines from far away lands. However, this isn't a shady imbiss you would find on some of the streets in Kreuzberg. While those establishments might display vegetables and meats of questionable quality, Kotti offers up a fresh salad in between a bread that's fluffier than a traditional pita bread. The "free of hormone and antibiotics. 100% vegetarian grain-fed, GMO-free, halal, certified humane raised, free-roaming" chicken was soft and tasty just like the sauce that covered it, and this is reflected in the price. The product is unquestionably delicious and enjoyable. It's the döner that is clean cut, wears a suit and works in finance. What it isn't is the late night, cheap and grease filled meal that comes to mind when you think of a döner. Craving a döner? With a reasonable price? Don't count on it here. read more

Those videos going around of chipotle employees being skimpy with meat and toppings is exactly how the people here act when you're paying almost $17 for their dishes. I get that they're just following the rules established by the owner but it's definitely a put off when they act this way, especially after you paid. For almost $16 dollars for a wrap, the worker should automatically put it on a plate with napkins, not try to give me just a wrap. read more

food is great, but unfortunately the girl at the register laughed at me when i couldnt afford it today (before placing in an order, i just asked how much something was!) read more

Kotti Berliner is in my top 5 stalls at Dekalb Market. The namesake Doner Kebab sandwich is a quarter of a fluffy Turkish pide bread (my literal favorite bread), with roast chicken, a sweet/smoky/spicy sauce, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, cilantro. The sandwich is BIG - I struggle to finish it on my own for lunch. If I feel generous I do halfsies with the hubbypants. But its the perfect, if messy, sandwich. The warm and crunchy bread contrast the juicy meat and the crisp cool veggies. You could also do the wrap or the kebab taco, which are also tasty in their own right, but just pale in tastiness and intensity as the Doner Kebab. Service is usually very fast, price fair for the portion size and location, and the food is always fresh. Do not let your sandwich sit here and wait and get soggy, eat immediately! read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant while inside the mall, the basement level cafeteria is out of this world and something I've never seen before! Truly a must see if you're ever in the area. I'll be honest I was skeptical about ordering here as it's a German restaurant and serves Berlin style kebabs. I've only had the Mediterranean & middle eastern style so I didn't know what to expect. Kept it simple with that in mind and ordered the beef Doner Kebab with a side rice and a slice of baklava for desert. What. A. Wait. Took about 35 minutes for the two sandwiches to come out which was rather upsetting as it much longer than anticipated. Well worth the wait though as I couldn't believe my eyes when it came out. These are HUGE sandwich's! Took up the entire to-go container and bulging at the corners. It was mildly overwhelming with all the extras and had it more like a salad. Rice was disappointing - bland, cold, and strong artificial flavor. Baklava was mushy but very tasty. Overall I'll say this was a unique experience. If Berlin/German style kebabs are your go to, this is the place. Just be prepared to wait awhile and make sure you come hungry! read more

So I've been coming here ever since this place opened and the food has always been fresh and delicious! I've tried the Doner Kebab, the wrap and the chicken over rice which is by far my favorite and go to dish. The chicken along with the rice, vegetables and the white/red sauce combo is simply amazing! I always will walk around and say to myself I will try something else but always end up here and order my usual! Over the years I see the price of the dish go up which is understandable but I feel like the chicken portions have decreased which really sucks since you're paying over $16 for the plate. I also wish they would give some extra white sauce on the side because it's so damn good. read more

I visit this location and the other location near the Barclays Center quite frequently. The food is super fresh and the service is very friendly. The chicken durum wrap is absolute perfection. It will blow your mind. I also like getting the chicken salad and rice bowl, which is pretty healthy because it's packed with veggies. The portion sizes here are pretty big, you'll definitely be full for a while. Most of the entrees here cost about $15, which is a pretty good bang for your buck. read more

It does taste recognizably like a doner kebab in Berlin but a few things could be improved. First, the ratio of ingredients is off and there's too much empty bread. But this isn't because they're stingy with fillings, it's because the amount of bread they give you is a lot. Cut out 30% of the bread and the ratio will be right. Second, the chicken could be moister. Always a challenge but it should still be noted. read more

The portion on this area is going down so badly. Its almost becoming a scam for what they are doing with the portion. Dear owners, pls try the bowl portion yourself and see if this makes sense. Probably last time going read more

Our favorite stall in Dekalb Market. When you hit the pockets of red+white sauce hidden deep in the pockets of the gigantic pillowy bread, coating the little cubes of seasoned chicken perfectly... ::chef's kiss::. Giant heaps of cabbage and other veggies helps too. It's relatively pricy $15+, but one order feeds two of us comfortably with just enough room for a bite of dessert from elsewhere. read more

It's tasty but I wish my food wasn't too cold. And the sauce was leaking out of my wrap. Probably wouldn't get again through delivery though

I had been eyeing this place since I started doing my groceries here. The kebabs are MASSIVE! If you aren't too hungry, it is definitely worth sharing. I struggled trying to finish it.

I just didn't know how to eat it and was simply overwhelmed by its size. read more

Kotti Berliner offers German style kebab dishes at DeKalb Market, which certainly adds to the variety at this location. The dish itself that we had, with the roasted chicken and feta cheese, was tasty, and much better than most "halal cart type" foods I have had. But then, this was at least twice as costly. The chicken was tasty, but I wish there were more of it. The red sauce isn't particularly spicy. read more

The menu is small. There are only a few options, and they are essentially all the same dish: juicy, delicious, spit-roasted chicken with all sorts of colorful and tasty toppings. Now, you can get a wrap, and it'll be easy to eat, and a good time. You can also get a salad if you really don't like being completely satisfied with a meal, but still want the nice flavors. But the Döner Kebab is #1 on the menu, and #1 in my heart. It's the name of the stand for Pete's sake. It's their specialty, and wrapping up all the tasty items (just get everything) they have back there in Turkish pide...a crisp flatbread not too far off of focaccia...that's the move. It's the way this meal was meant to be eaten, and it also happens to taste the best. This has become one of my favorite options in Dekalb Market Hall, and I'll be getting it again shortly. read more

I have been here a few times and have been meaning to write a review. I have tried the beef as well as the chicken doner kebab. Both are excellent. What is incredible about the doner kebabs here are the flavors. So many different but complimentary flavors and the bread is absolutely perfect (nice and fluffy and warm). The portion is a good size and is a meal for one person (costs about $16 with tax). Easily the best doner kebab I have had in the US. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in Dekalb market hall. read more
