1. Mustafa’s Veggie Döner
No kebab ranking is complete without Mustafa’s! This veggie kebab has achieved cult status and draws long lines every day. If you’re a fan of Berghain, this is the Berghain of the kebab world.

3. Dunya Vegetable Kebab
Dunya is a popular spot in Friedrichshain and a great alternative to the big-name chains. The döner comes with crispy bread, vegetables, and plenty of fresh ingredients. What’s especially nice: the atmosphere here is usually a bit more laid-back than at the city’s most famous döner spots.
📍 Dunya Gemüse Kebab, Silvio-Meier-Straße 1, 10247 Berlin – Friedrichshain
4. Hasir
The Nasir restaurants are something truly special. As one of the first kebab shops in Berlin, Hasir has made history. This traditional Berlin brand was founded in 1970. The focus here is on traditional preparation and a first-class taste experience. Here, you don’t just grab a quick bite to eat—you dine in one of Nasir’s cozy restaurants.

5. Vöner – The Vegan Döner
The great thing is, you can get anything in Berlin! And of course, there are vegan options on every corner. The “Porsche” of vegan döner is Döner in Friedrichshain. Here, the signature dish is made from seitan and served with crisp vegetables and carefully selected spices and sauces. But they also offer vegan burgers, wraps, currywurst, and hot dogs.
📍Vöner, Boxhagener Straße 56, 10245 – Berlin – Friedrichshain
6. Elbis Döner
This fast-food restaurant in Schöneberg’s Bavarian Quarter is something of an insider tip. Instead of the usual ground meat on a skewer, they serve veal; the bread is extra crispy; and the focus is on the main ingredients to create a taste experience through this purist approach.
📍Elbis Döner, Berliner Straße 2, 101715 Berlin – Schöneberg
7. ZAGROS Vegetable Kebab
People who have eaten here say that Zagros stands out for its fresh, high-quality doner and very friendly service.

Perfect for anyone who wants to try something new—because the highlight here is the chicken doner.
📍ZAGROS Vegetable Kebab, Skalitzer Straße 100, 10997 Berlin – Kreuzberg
8. Meraba Neuland Döner
Organic meat from the Neuland butcher shop—sourced from animals raised in a species-appropriate and environmentally friendly manner—awaits you here in the heart of Prenzlauer Berg in a relaxed atmosphere.
