A Local’s Guide to the Best Street Food in Berlin

Berlin’s food scene is as wild and diverse as the city itself.

From Turkish kebabs grilled over open flames to Berlin’s iconic Currywurst, the streets here serve up a menu packed with history, flavour, and a few delicious surprises. As a local guide (and dedicated snack enthusiast), I’ve hunted down the tastiest street food Berlin has to offer - here’s where to find it, and why every bite tells a story.

1. Curry 36 - The Currywurst Classic
No Berlin street food list is complete without Currywurst. At Curry 36 in Kreuzberg, the sausage is perfectly crisp, the sauce tangy, and the atmosphere pure Berlin. Stand elbow-to-elbow with locals and visitors alike for a true taste of the city.

2. Mustafa’s Gemüse Kebap - A Cult Favourite
Doner kebab may have Turkish roots, but Berlin made it iconic. Mustafa’s is legendary for a reason - fresh grilled vegetables, marinated meat, and a queue that’s (almost) worth the wait.

3. Markthalle Neun - Street Food Thursday
Every Thursday, this historic market hall turns into a street food paradise. From Korean dumplings to handmade tacos, it’s a world tour in one market. Arrive hungry.

4. Konnopke’s Imbiss - East Berlin’s Currywurst Icon
Serving Currywurst since 1930 under the Eberswalder Straße U-Bahn tracks, Konnopke’s offers a taste of old East Berlin in every bite.

5. Mogg - The Pastrami Sandwich You Didn’t Know You Needed
Housed in a former Jewish girls' school in Mitte, Mogg’s pastrami on rye is a nod to Berlin’s multicultural food scene — and a sandwich worth seeking out.
