Tucked underneath the U2 train line closed to Eberswalder Strasse, Konnopke's is arguably Berlin's best place for a currywurst. Open odd hours, so check in advance.
Three options to pick from (pork, tofu, chicken) - all of which are excellent. Not a lot of indoor seating so either take it to go or curb it with a Tiger beer. If the line is too long (can happen), head to Co Co Banh Mi close-by.
It's hard to find good "American style" sandwiches in Berlin. Formidable is about as close as you can get. Friendly spot with a large menu.
Finding a good sandwich 🥖 in Berlin can be hard, but this Turkish take served on fresh baguette definitely does the trick. Simple menu but everything is great to grab and go (it's right at Kotti after all).
Tiny Kreuzberg kebab counter serving traditional Turkish street food since 1979. Hand-stacked slices of beef and lamb fat are shaved straight from the spit into warm bread for fast, cash-only lunches.
Tiny Kreuzberg corner counter slinging elevated Israeli street food and elaborate desserts. With just four indoor seats, most steam-baked Sabich pitas and brioche French toast go straight to the nearby park for lunch.
Tiny Thai spot on Sonnenallee offers hefty portions of Pad Thai, Tom Kha soup, and Massaman curry. Fast-paced, no-frills vibe with limited seating; bring a container for takeout.
Neapolitan pizzeria on Paul-Lincke-Ufer turning out blistered, wood-fired pies. Crowds pack the tight interior or spill onto the sidewalk for wine and sunsets by the canal.
Corner luncheonette with the feel of a German pub, serving diner staples and local comfort food. The signature hash brown special is a neighborhood ritual – it often sells out before noon.
Historic window counter serving the Ketwurst, a GDR-era hot dog. Soft buns get toasted on a metal spike and stuffed with sausage and secret ketchup for a quick standing lunch.
