Arabs, Indians, Latin Americans – people from 190 nations have settled in the German capital on the Spree River. And they have brought gastronomic peculiarities and culinary delights from their home regions. These very different influences make Berlin’s street food some of the best in the world.<\/p>\n

Best kebab at Mustafas – Berlin and its kebabs<\/h2>\n

It is the symbol of modern Berlin street food: the doner kebab. Developed in the 1970s by a Turkish immigrant in West Berlin, the pita bread filled with kebap and lettuce is now sold thousands of times over snack counters. Be sure to try Mustafa’s vegetable kebap<\/strong> on Mehringdamm in Kreuzberg. The kebab is available with chicken or veggie, plus baked vegetables, fresh salad, three different sauces, feta and lots of parsley. In terms of price, the offer there is between about \u20ac 2.90 and \u20ac 5 per kebab. But even away from the long lines in front of Mustafa’s, you’ll find delicious kebabs – and meatless ones, too: vegans order falafel<\/strong> or seitan kebabs<\/strong>, vegetarians go for halloumi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Goes always: Currywurst at Konnopke, Curry36 and in the Adlon<\/h2>\n

What began in 1930 with a vendor’s tray with a sausage kettle is now Berlin’s best-known currywurst stand. At the Eberswalder Stra\u00dfe station, under the subway running on the elevated track, Konnopke<\/strong> sells the popular curry sausage day and night. And they are also available vegan today. But the currywurst from Curry36<\/strong> on Mehringdamm in Kreuzberg is also in demand. Here you have to reckon with prices between 1,70 \u20ac and 3 \u20ac per currywurst. Noble street food is served at the Hotel Adlon<\/strong>. There, the currywurst is wrapped in gold leaf. Want to learn more about the popular sausage? Then off to the Currywurst Museum<\/strong> on Sch\u00fctzenstra\u00dfe in Mitte.<\/p>\n

La Casita: delicious arepas on the Spree River<\/h2>\n

The warm cornmeal pockets are filled with beef, chicken or black beans, accompanied by avocado, fresh vegetables and delicious sauces – since 2017 Sharon Schael has been preparing the best arepas in Berlin<\/strong>, following the original Venezuelan recipe. In the capital, Latin American street food goes down well; there are actually always lines forming in front of the stalls. But it’s worth the wait. You can find Sharon’s arepas at La Casita<\/strong> at the harbor in Treptower Park not far from the subway or on Sundays at the Mauerpark flea market at Le Carrito<\/strong> For about \u20ac5 to \u20ac7 you can get one of these delicious delicacies.<\/p>\n

Enjoy street food in Mauerpark<\/h2>\n

In general, Mauerpark<\/strong> on Sundays is well suited for a journey through the street food world of the Spree metropolis. The all-Sunday flea market offers a large number of food trucks in a specially designed area. The international delicacies<\/strong> are freshly prepared for you – vegetarian and vegan alternatives included. Here you can try falafel and halloumi, burritos and tacos, bowls and burgers, kumpir and tteokbokki – accompanied, of course, by a cold beer or a glass of wine. You can enjoy the delicacies on one of the specially set up beer benches or simply on the lawn in the park. But do not dawdle: the market closes at 6 pm. Depending on what you feel like, the cost per menu varies.<\/p>\n

Street food on the road: Kulturbrauerei<\/h2>\n

If Mauerpark is too crowded for you, you can walk on to the Kulturbrauerei<\/strong>, five minutes away. Since 2015, “Street-Food auf Achse”<\/strong> has been taking place in the courtyard of the former brewery – every Sunday afternoon, people cook, sizzle and, above all, experiment in a great atmosphere. Depending on the theme, there are Cuban bowls or Korean kimchi burgers, Brazilian cassava crepes or Polish pierogies, filled pretzels or Black Forest cake. Depending on what you choose culinary, prices vary per provider. After filling your belly, relax in the deck chair.<\/p>\n

Feasting at Markthalle Neun on Stree Food Thursday<\/h2>\n

Don’t miss Street Food Thursday<\/strong> in Kreuzberg on your tour of culinary Berlin. Every Thursday it takes place between 5 and 10 p.m. at Markthalle Neun<\/strong>. The prices you have to expect per meal are as varied as the offer. The hip Markthalle sees itself as a platform for creative chefs in Berlin who don’t have their own restaurant but still want to spoil their guests and sometimes test out new restaurant concepts. In addition to the old hands who set up their stalls every week, there are also always street food newcomers who bring a breath of fresh air to the market hall.<\/p>\n

Dong Xuan Center: Little Vietnam in Lichtenberg<\/h2>\n

In contrast, the Dong Xuan Center<\/strong> on Herzbergstrasse in Lichtenberg is similar to the cookshops on the streets of Hanoi. From the outside, the wholesale market makes a rather functional impression, but inside the halls it is lively, colorful and whimsical – and delicious. Discover genuine Vietnamese delicacies<\/strong> that are not adapted to Western tastes. Try authentic street food like b\u00e1nh m\u00ec, a sandwich, ch\u00e8 thap cam, a pudding based on coconut milk and ice cubes with various toppings, Ph\u1edf, an aromatic beef soup with noodles, or b\u00e1nh x\u00e8o, a kind of crepe. Again, depending on what you’re in the mood for, prices per person vary depending on the dish. If you prefer to prepare your own food, you can find many exotic foods at the market.<\/p>\n

Thai street food in Prussia Park<\/h2>\n

This weekend, the Preu\u00dfenpark<\/strong> in Wilmersdorf will also be an Asian venue. Then countless Thais gather on the meadow in the north, offering delicious food. It all started about twenty years ago when a few Thai women gathered in the park every Sunday for a picnic and cooked their treats right on the spot. They met curious Berliners who were eager to try some of the fragrant food – Thai Park<\/strong> was born. Today, Thai Park is a lively and colorful street food market where countless vendors sell Thai, as well as Korean and Chinese specialties in the summer. Follow your nose and you are guaranteed to find the market. Many dishes are offered for up to 7 \u20ac, but prices can vary here as well<\/p>\n

Noble with monkeys: Street Food at Bikini Berlin<\/h2>\n

The Bikini Berlin<\/strong>, on the other hand, is a classy place. At the permanent street food market Kantini<\/strong>, 13 international food artists from all over the world present their culinary delights. Here, Mexican tamales meet Israeli sabich, Hawaiian poke bowls meet Korean hotteok. Plan on spending between \u20ac10 and \u20ac20 per person for your meal, depending on which cuisine you choose. Your purchased treats are best eaten on the spot at one of the colorfully tiled tables or in summer on the roof terrace – with a direct view of the aviaries of the Berlin Zoo. Special highlight: the view of the monkey rock through the 14 x 4 m panoramic window. When they’re not snoozing, the baboons will sweeten your break with all sorts of shenanigans.<\/p>\n
