Typical Berlin Food:
What is the typical Berlin food? Berlin is so multicultural, that it is difficult to say. However, there are few things that are typical here. Today, there are more Turkish Doener Kebab stands than German sausage stands!

The typical Berlin sausage is the Currywurst (curry sausage), developed in 1949 by Mrs. Herta Heuwer. It is usually served with chips (Am.: French Fries), called here Pommes Frittes and with either ketchup, ketchup with curry, mayonnaise, or a mix of all of them together. For a "real" Currywurst experience, try the stand next to the U-Bahn station Mehringdamm (Curry 36) (although there are also other good places in Berlin to get a Curry: Kudamm 195; the organic Currywurst in Wittenbergplatz; etc.).

And what about the Doener? The Doener, similar to the Arab Shwarma, may be the most famous Turkish street food, but it is certainly not the only one: you can also try the Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza, pronounced Lah-machun in Turkish), which is just like an Italian pizza, only with minced meat on the top, instead of cheese and toppings. You can eat it rolled and filled with a salad. Another Turkish street food, for the vegetarians, is the Borek, filled pastry, and the Goezleme, warm filled pastry pockets. There are many fine Doener stands in Berlin, but unfortunately, most of those in the tourist areas are real traps, either because of the price, or because of the quality (and in the worse cases - because of both). An exception is the Hasir restaurant chain (mentioned above). Vegetarians who'd like to try a Lahmacun could try the only stand serving "vegetarian Lahmacun", on Oranienstr., not far from the Kotbusser Tor U-Bahn station.
