If you didn't eat a kebab in Berlin, did you even go? its the most iconic food in Berlin. And i was on 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. read more

This is a popular (particularly with the under 35 set) no frills spot for a döner located in Prenzlauer Berg, Know that döner here means chicken, not lamb with small chunks of veggies like potato and eggplant, which threw me off, but that's the style in Berlin. Seating front and back but most take away. read more

Rüyam Gemüse Kebab 2 - Outside - Kebab Near Me - Berlin, BE

Rüyam Gemüse Kebab is a candidate for one of the best döner kebab joints in Berlin, and their Rüyam Teller was the best dish to order to sample some of everything they offer! The platter came with crispy shaved chicken döner kebab mixed with fried cubed potatoes/eggplant/carrots, two crispy falafels, two slices of halloumi, a salad of lettuce/tomato/onions topped with crumbled cheese, white rice, and all of their dips/sauces including hummus, tahini, creamy herb, and a tomato chili sauce (which had just the right balance of sweet, spicy, and acidic). Everything on the platter was flavorful and delicious, and the food came at a great value with friendly service in a lively environment! read more

This was a great lunch stop after walking around the city with friends. We got amazing döner for under €5. The decor is very nice inside with comfy benches. The service was quick and everything was delicious. read more

Had this recommended from a fair few people, seemed like a consensun top stop for döner and I wasn't let down. A big vegetable sandwich was packed with a lot of goodies, and how could the döner itself disappoint? Perfectly sauced and great meat texture. read more

Straight fire. Massive portions at a super low price (as of this review a durum kebab is like €7 and could feed two not-so-hungry people or a very hungry person). Kebab meat is juicy, flavourful, and tender. Sauces are incredible. Veggies are fresh. Chips are quite nice as well but be warned - if you don't ask for ketchup and mayo on the side they'll put it on top. Perhaps that's standard here but as an American that's practically a crime. There has been a queue both times I've gone but it moves relatively quickly and the staff has been very nice and patient dealing with me as a non-German speaking tourist. Like notably nice, not just "bare minimum in a service job" nice. Solid chance I go back for order number 3 today. Emphatically recommend. read more

Rüyam Gemüse Kebab 2 - Doner kebab - Kebab Near Me - Berlin, BE

This was one of my favorite food spots in Berlin-- incredibly flavorful, delicious sandwiches at fantastic prices. I came here twice in the few days I was in Berlin because it was just TOO good. I tried the Vegetable Doner and Gemuse Kebab Doner (chicken) and both were just packed with flavor and ingredients. The veggie doner consists of lettuce, tomato, carrots, cucumber, onions, and potatoes. The potatoes were so savory and well-sauteed, and the bread is so crispy and fresh. The sauce is also one of the highlights-- absolutely packed with flavor and it elevated the sandwich to the next level. You can choose between garlic sauce, herb sauce, or both. The Gemuse Kebab Doner was even better. In addition to the veggie doner ingredients, it also had chicken and feta cheese. The chicken was juicy and full of flavor, and the feta added a nice salty kick. Again, the bread was perfect and the sauces took it to the next level. This is definitely one of the food places I miss the most from Berlin! There's usually a line to order no matter what time of the day it is, but it moves pretty fast. Seating can also be kind of tough to find depending on the time of day, but the interior is pretty spacious and there are a good number of tables available. read more

The food here is great. Lots of different flavors burst on your tongue when eating this. The service is quick and efficient with good organization. The ambiance is nice and is a cozy restaurant. The only thing holding me back from a five star review is Mustafa's doners. read more

Rüyam Gemüse Kebab 2 - Doner - Kebab Near Me - Berlin, BE

The doner kebab is the number one fast food of Berlin. I didn't want to wait in a long line at Mustafa's, which is the most popular place for doner kebab, so I decided to get one here instead. Quick it was not. We waited 30 minutes for the sandwich. It was a filling sandwich. I don't like to find seeds in my sandwich though. They should take the seeds out before squeezing the lemon on. Cash only. read more

Honestly probably the best kebab I had in Berlin! The portions are absolutely massive, as my 7.5eu durum kebab fed me for almost two full meals. The kebab is packed with lots of veggies and TONS of meat. I was there on a weekday at 5pm and there was no line despite what all the reviews say about there always being a line. It did take a bit for my food to come out since there were a bunch of people sitting at the tables waiting. read more

This place lived up to its rating... fresh veggies, delicious bread and very yummy kebab. Got the Gemuse Kebab and it exceeded expectations... It was a very large portion for less than EUR 7. They were also very friendly, which is not the case at a number of these popular places... They give you a number when you order and there is a board in front that shows you when it is ready Tip: you can order platters, Doner Box and several ways if you don't like or cannot eat bread.... Take a look at my photos of the menu for details...The spicy sauce was adequate. Not amazing but but bad at all... The place does get busy but the line moves very fast.... The service was super quick and the ambience was cool, with seating indoor and outdoor.... read more

The cue was down the street! We waited for an hour and a half to eat. But, the staff were SO AWESOME! Everyone was kind and the customers in line were cool. Food was amazing and we are happy we ended up staying and waiting! Cash only read more

Really really delicious. Bigger than you'd expect from looking in, there's a ton of seating in the back. Staff was super kind and the line moved fast. read more

The food is great (like all other reviews here) :) The staff is super warm and friendly. There's more seating inside. Even got a fresh falafel to try from the staff, it was droolworthy! PS: Cash only! read more

I visit Berlin a few times a year and always go to this location for a Doner plate. It's a MUST! It never ceases to blow my mind, and the plate with rice, salad, sauces, hummus and of course the meat ( such a big portion!) .....is beyond delicious. All flavorful and juicy. The sauces are wonderful and varied ( love the garlic and the herbal one, but the rich red spicy one is fab too) . Long lines during peak times, but we never fail to find a seat. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful to the wide range of foreigners trying to place orders. I've sat at the booth close to the register and marveled at the polite and patient snd friendly way the orders are taken from people speaking multiple languages. Dropping a few coins in the tip jar gets a rousing " Danke Schoen" from the whole team!. It always brings a smile to MY face, so we never fail to tip for the great experience and fast service ( lines are long but they work fast!!). Love this place. read more

It is easily the best thing I had in Berlin by accident. We smelled it when we were walking and had to stop by. It was worth the slight wait. We even stopped by again before we left Berlin. Definitely won't be able to find such a great döner in LA. Will miss it very much. read more

This was our first time here. The staff is so friendly and chill. The food is phenomenal; big, generous portions. Very reasonable price. The ambience of the place is great. 100% would recommend. read more

Kebab (doner) taste great and they are so friendly to help me to select my prefect meal. I ordered chicken kebab and wanted to have 2 pieces of falafels to taste. They suggested to put the falafels put inside the chicken kebab. It's rich and delicious. They offer free turkey tea. The strong turkey tea is nicely paired with their food. They do have vegetarian options as well. read more

Genial! Ich bin zwar kein Vegetarier, aber meine Freundin hat mich hier reingeschleppt, und selbst ich musste zugeben dass der Gemüse Kebab hier sehr gut schmeckt. Kann ich in jedem Fall weiterempfehlen. read more

Lecker! If you love Döner as much as I do you must come here. I became emotional twice before I finished my first generously portioned, perfectly spiced, nothing short of incredible Döner here. It may have been the strength of the delicious free tea which overwhelmed me, however, this lives up to the hype attributed to Mustafa's which does not hold a candle to Rüyam. Worth traveling across Berlin for. I will be here for all my Döner needs moving forward. read more

Pros: - Great kebab Cons: - The music was way too loud. It was difficult to communicate both with the staff and one's company. read more

We were heading to this neighborhood to go to another destination and were looking for a place to grab a bite to eat. We saw the reviews of this place and decided to give it a shot. We were glad we did. The food was prepared fresh and was excellent, and the prices were cheap. I would definitely eat here again the next time I'm in Berlin and in the neighborhood. Edited to add: Count your change! I was shortchanged by the cashier and would like to think that it was an honest mistake but I know some venues try to take advantage of tourists. In any case, I realized the error and the cashier was apologetic. read more

My favorite place for doner in Berlin. The doner platter is generous and super fresh. The platter beats most others I've had in the city. With other places, other parts of doner plates are afterthoughts (such as the salad or potatoes). This place's entire platter is intentional and delicious. Falafel here is also a winner. Staff is friendly as well! read more

Amazing. Perfect service, best vegetarian kebap I ever ate. Amazingly nice staff, perfect pricing and the occasional magic trick. Couldn't be more satisfied! 5 stars :) read more

Amazing food! Amazing service. Staff knows English. The best part of all is the price. Totally worth it for the size and quality of the sandwich. Don't miss the garlic sauce and herb sauce. This is probably my first ever review and it goes to royal 44 for the sandwich and price. By far the best Kebap sandwich I've eaten on my trip in the Europe and the cheapest. They also serve hot tea that is free. read more

Best chicken kebab I've ever had! It was a flavor explosion - spicy, sweet, creamy, garlicky with contrasting textures. The chicken was well seasoned and so so tender and I loved how they added a couple extras - sautéed diced veggies and mint. The bread was fresh and toasted as well. The service is very friendly - they offered us free tea while we waited. read more

We had a great experience at this place. Stopped by for a quick sandwich on the go and the owner (I assume) was super friendly helping us figure out what to order (since we don't speak German). He offered us free tea--which was awesome--if we stayed and ate at the restaurant. The kebab sandwich had soooo much flavor and was absolutely huge. If I hadn't been a few beers deep and in feast mode I probably would've taken half home for later. It's a great place to stop! read more

I used to be their biggest fan but the last two times they were not as convincing as usually. Still very good but not worth 5 stars.

We have a tradition of eating at a new Gemuse Hahnchen Doner place each week....and this is by far one of our favorites. The flavor, the ingredients and care with which it was made were all top notch, from start to finish! They served us complimentary tea, also sehr lecker, and the service was extremely friendly. We will certainly be back... read more
