Berlin is a large city with many districts. One of the most exciting and fascinating is Kreuzberg,…read moresoutheast of the center. It is a gateway neighborhood for new immigrants and Turks. As you walk down any street, kebab shops and many other permutations scream at you. We decided to go to Hasir as a good friend from Turkey recommended it. It is an institution and a restaurant empire in the city. The location we went to is on a very busy street, and due to the temperature, we decided to brave it and sit on the sidewalk. It did not disappoint. Their menu is very large, but anything will be good. We ordered to start the tasty Cac⁄k, which is a dip of yogurt, Garlic Cucumber and oil and the ÛmamBay which is eggplant in paprika. Wow! For the main course, we ordered Adana Kebap, which is minced Meat on the skewer with Rice and Salad. Incredible. The Turkish bread was a must, and they kept it coming. The service was fast and attentive, and the whole experience was fun and felt authentic. I highly recommend this or any of their other locations.

I am not quite sure what the difference between homey Turkish food and what is not. I am going to…read moreassume homey entails more focus on the food and ingredients rather than the presentation and other things. One glance at this place and it certainly looks homey if not rather like a one pot, buffet, fast food kind of style. There was counter full of prepared food in the back and you can pick and choose your meal from thy selection. No there's nothing created here a la minute but the price kind of reflects that. While I can't comment on the authenticity of the food, I can say without a doubt it is tasty...for the most part. Everything does indeed taste "homey" as every dish is sort of a mis-mash of different vegetables and meats in a consistent sauce. By that I mean most of the dishes have similar sauces a tastes quite similar despite it having different ingredients. The rice is a nicely prepared with fantastic texture and just the right amount of squeakiness to them all the while still soft and pillowy. The chicken is sightly dry but very nicely compensated with the great sauce that it's bathed in. Sadly this meal wasn't quite as memorable as I had hope for. Unlike the Turkish cuisines I have had in the past there wasn't one or more dishes I would recommend of you must order. Everything tastes good -- like a every day good kind of meal mom used to prepare.

It's a pretty standard köfte and halloumi fast food menu that you'll find most Turkish places in Berlin, but the spices and meat quality are particularly solid here. I just wish the staff behind the counter didn't scowl at the guests constantly and throw down the utensils in disgust, for no reason in particular. Sort of kills any good mood that might've been had from the taste of the food.

I stumbled by this large cafe/restaurant while looking for a Turkish breakfast on Adalbertstraße…read more Although I was slightly intimidated from the somewhat foreboding entrance, I quickly saw that there was lovely outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating inside the restaurant. The establishment is clean, looks new, and has a wide variety of Turkish breakfast options and bakery items. I saw quite a few foreigners and tourists, so I'm guessing it might be on a guidebook. I ordered a breakfast of eggs scrambled with sausage, which came with cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, simit, and bread. At 8 euros it wasn't cheap, but a nice way to enjoy Turkish breakfast in a courtyard.

It is just south of the busy U Kottbusser Tor traffic circle on an oddly quiet part of the street. A long line of people is lining up for kebabs made right in front of you by fast but proud guys, and you can order and eat in fifteen minutes. I was very tempted to go this route, but my wife wanted to sit down. I'm glad we did. We ordered DÖNER KEBAP PORSIYON, which is their kebab with rice and mixed salad. Wow! It was as good as Hasir, and we felt more relaxed at Doyum. This place was great and highly recommend it!
