Definitely one of the best. Their food is so good, and the number of stars they have on Google Maps should be higher. Solid 5 out of 5 in terms of food and ambiance. 100% going to be back for more.
Absolutely fantastic! The food and service here are top-notch. Both the chicken and the donner were incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. You can tell the salad is freshly made, and the portion sizes are incredibly generous. Highly recommend!
The most ever delicious food in Berlin, same as original taste. Very chic atmosphère and super friendly service. Smiling and welcoming warmly
Beautiful restaurant - classy decor. Delicious food - I had the Sis Tavuk and fries. Nice cup of Turkish tea... Very friendly owner. Highly recommend this restaurant which is literally around the corner from Checkpoint Charlie.
I was working in Berlin for a week. I asked my work colleague one day for lunch ideas. I wanted a high quantity of meat and nothing else. Hatay Ocakbasi delivered this for me 🙂 The restaurant wasn't too far from the office, it was only 15 minutes away. I ordered rice, lamb meat, bread and salad and it was lovely and sublime. The food filled me up, I was really happy with my order. I also got Turkish tea for free as well whilst I waited for my order, which was lovely by the staff. I received my order after 30 minutes of waiting which wasn't long at all. The restaurant wasn't that full when I got there, which was around 14:30 but I loved the decoration. I'll certainly come back to this restaurant when I come back to Berlin for work. The food was really enjoyable to eat 🙂
