Doyum Grillhaus

Nearest Station: U Kottbusser Tor
Price Range: €3.50 to €15.00, good for 2 persons.
The Turks are the largest ethnic minority group in Berlin. The majority resides in Mitte, Neukölln, and Kreuzberg. Hence, it’s not surprising that Turkish food is so popular in Berlin. For €3.00 you’ll get the Turk Pizza with Salad. For €3.50, you can have a big serving of falafel served with pita bread, sauce, and greens. For the main course, try the Lamb Kebab (Kuzu Sis Kebap Yogurtlu) for €12.50, moist and spiced skewered lamb meat served with yogurt sauce, tomato sauce, grilled tomatoes, and pepper. I can’t even finish just one serving not because it wasn’t good but because it’s so big, so I recommend that you just share it with a friend.

Sausage Threesome is a must try here. It’s big serving of roasted bratwurst, Berlin steamed sausage, and grilled veal bratwurst, served with potato egg salad and greens.
