Currywurst is a Berlin street-food dish of sliced sausage covered in curry-spiced ketchup, usually served with fries or a small roll. Order **"Currywurst mit Darm, Pommes rot-weiss"** (*with casing, fries with ketchup and mayo*) for the classic snap, or **"ohne Darm"** (*without casing*) if you prefer the softer West Berlin style. Locals eat it at all hours, standing at chest-high tables on the sidewalk. The trap is judging the dish in a full-service restaurant: Currywurst works best at a high-turnover Imbiss where sauce, sausage, and fries move constantly. Budget €4-8, eat it between sightseeing stops, and save the long meal for schnitzel or Eisbein.

“Konnopke's is the classic East Berlin currywurst stop, with a simple stand-up setup and a sauce style that tastes less like a chain.”
