K'ups - Berlin

In terms of “cheap eats” Döner Kebab rivals Currywurst in the German capitol, competition on almost every block finding many calling K’ups in Prenzlauer Berg Berlin’s best even though it eschews traditional Veal for thinly-sliced Chicken. Open from 11h00 until late daily, 03h00 on Friday...and Saturday, K’ups resides in a concrete box with high-ceilings where staff prepare everything from scratch including Sauces, roast Vegetables and the slowly-rotating Meat on a skewer. Offering indoor and outside seating, the made-to-order nature of everything from Gemusekebap to Falafel creating lengthy queues during peak hours, it is after parking at a wooden table that teeth plunge into warm Bread packed to bursting with warm Peppers, Squash, Eggplant and Potatoes plus chilled Lettuce, Cabbage. Tomatoes, Onions and Cucumbers. Smart to order with “mit allem,” Garlic, Yogurt and a spicy red Sauce plus Feta and a dash of Seasoning, €4,70 in Bread or €5,70 in a Wheat Wrap will leave all but the most robust appetites sated, though fans and Vegetarians should not miss a side of two Chickpea Fritter fried golden and teaming with Herbs for €1,50.

Not a typical German Döner but it has an interesting twist on it with freshly fried vegetables as a filling alongside salsa and a great choice of sauces.

Had higher expectations after reading the reviews since many people said it was just as good as Mustafa’s. Didn’t want to wait in line for hours to get Mustafa’s, so went here instead. Good location (near the u-bahn). Good neighbourhood. The Chicken Kebab in bread...tasted good as well as the falafel in lavash. Over all: tasty and worth the money.

Consigliato! Locale moderno, carino e pulito! Kebab delizioso! Molto economico. Frequentato da gente del posto (non turisti)

Kebab is very delicious here! We had the vegetarian and chicken. Both were filled with roasted vegetables and patatoes. Also very cheap
