Döner Kebab in Berlin is a stuffed flatbread or dürüm wrap filled with shaved meat, salad, cabbage, onions, tomato, and garlic, herb, or chili sauce. The city's Turkish community transformed the traditional plate into a portable sandwich in the 1970s. Order **"ein Döner mit alles und scharf"** (*one döner with everything and hot sauce*) or **"ohne Zwiebeln"** (*without onions*) if you need to control the build. The trap is joining the longest tourist queue automatically; Berlin has more than 1,000 kebab shops, and the right question is meat quality, bread, and turnover. Budget €6-10, eat it at lunch, late night, or between bar stops in Kreuzberg, Neukölln, Schöneberg, and Wedding.
