I live across the street from this place and for 5.50 euro, you can get a small bottled soda, an order of fries (hit or miss. Sometimes the fries are tasty but sometimes they can be kind of gross. Proceed with caution), and a perfectly sized chicken doner kebap with all the trimmings. Trimmings include regular salad, tomato and cucumber mix, and parsley and onion mix. On top of that, they add a sprinkling of cheese (!!!!) which I've never seen anywhere else, and a squirt of lemon. For 5.50 I'd say this is a pretty good deal. I've seen the same menu deal elsewhere for cheaper but it doesn't hit the quality of Gemuse Kebap. Again, I do live across the street so I've been here a few times (a few = 20+) and have never had a funky sandwich (I am a HUGE freak when it comes to food textures; if something is funky, I can't eat it) but if someone can recommend a chicken doner that is BETTER than Gemuse Kebap on Hermanstrasse, let me know!!!!

The menu includes lots of options around the Middle Eastern favourites of houmous (a whole range of options) and tahini, but with lots of less familiar dishes (to me at least) with fish and meat covered in rich sauces. Vegetarians and (particularly) vegans are well catered for - so much so that the menu lists vegan options rather than vegetarian. I chose the falafel plate, with four large falafels, tahini and four salads. My partner chose the Shakshuka with beef sausages, set in a rich tomato and pepper stew, with tomato salad, both served with pitta, olives and gherkins. The portions were good and filling, and we're glad we hadn't ordered starters. That said, other diners were happily polishing off platefuls of both. Meat and fish mains can be served with rice or fries. Our meals with two beers came to €35, which seemed like good value. Friendly and reasonably swift service. We shall return.

This Turkish restaurant's food and service cannot disappoint. And that's also considering that I…read morearrived with high expectations, as a self-proclaimed Berlin-Turkish-food-scene expert really wanted to check it out for the first time due to the wood-fired kebab spit. Overall a lovely place to sit down and enjoy an extended dinner (albeit a sober one as they did not have alcohol on the menu). The upbeat, multi-lingual, and friendly service shined upon arrival, as they attempted to be helpful in English, Turkish, and German all at once (I'm racially ambiguous). We were able to choose our table and settle down before a server came to ask us if we had any questions, and then took our order. We ordered two dishes which focused on the wood-fired, horizontal spit, kebap meat (it's normally vertically flamed with an electric grill) which was crispy on the outside and the tenderest, juicy, and most subtly flavorful meat hiding beneath the thin crust. All the dishes in the House Speciality section come with 3 skewers of meat, and they served them to us 1 skewer at a time as we finished one and the 2nd/3rd skewer came hot off the grill. The side vegetable were fresh and grilled, and I especially want to give praise to the grilled tomato. As we were two large guys with a day-long lake adventure fueled appetite, we needed to order a lamacun as well, a Turkish "pizza". We underestimated the size of the portion, as it came with three "pieces", each of which almost the size of a thin crust regular pizza. The bread part was ultra thin and the flavors mild and delicious. There was a thin layer of meat on it that was just so delicate. At the end we ordered a cheesy pastry called Kunefe, and I thought I'd died and gone to dessert heaven. I'm not 100% sure what this is, but it was a melted cheese, with honey, pistachio nuts, and some cream on top that just exploded with flavor when all those unrelated flavors combined. My dining mate said that the Kunefe was good, but there was still another place in Berlin that did it better. I didn't care though. This Kunefe is the first and best I'd ever had!

The waiter kept disappearing to stand out in front of the restaurant and talking to friends. I ordered a mixed grill plate and would have expected it to be a sample of the delicious kebab that are chargrilled right in the middle of the restaurant, instead it consisted of chicken wings, fatty lamb and a patty. Don't know if we were just unlucky with food and service but I think that meal was the worst I've had in my long weekend visiting Berlin Compared to what you can get for the same money both in the same neighborhood and across Berlin, either the price is way to high or the quality is way to low.

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.
