Barlin Doner in Paderborn

Pure disappointment, absolutely not like it used to be! First: We entered through the second door, which was open, and were met with stupid, disparaging looks, no hello, no nothing! Then, to the order taking: Without a greeting, we were quickly asked what we wanted. At the checkout, we ordered two doner boxes, one spicy, and with the emphasis on both, please, with meat. The agreed price was €10. We were sent to the side to wait... Preparation/Food: Our "doner boxes" were slapped together without love and effort, with piles of cold and greasy fries in the bottom. "You can't tell by the motto." When we asked, since we only wanted meat, we were given a stupid look and told we'd have to pay €4 more, which was different at the checkout: €10. Then the one box that was supposed to be spicy wasn't spicy at all. That's why I asked beforehand if it had been made spicy, and they just said, "Yes, yes, and go now." I had to throw away half of the food because I'd never eaten such a bad doner box, and half of it was just gristly meat with cold fries – inedible. About the staff: Unhygienic and sweaty, with absolutely no motivation to work. And a bad mood. Conclusion: I wouldn't recommend the store to anyone, and I think it's a complete disaster in every category. It was my last time there! 1 star just so I could even write the movement. Regards

A solid kebab. The meat could have been a bit crispier. All requests were met. The portion was okay. Not suitable for vegetarians/vegans, as the salad tongs from the meat kebab were used to put the cabbage back on the counter.

Worst kebab shop in all of Paderborn, poor service, unprofessional. When I tried to place my order, they made it more expensive, and I was charged more than I actually ordered. After several back-and-forth discussions and a threat of a bad Google review, they finally managed to take my order correctly. Furthermore, the employees smell quite sweaty and are unhygienic when handling the food. It's just a shame to give them one star, or even none at all. 😤

While it's sad and says a lot about a city's gastronomic landscape, it must be said that this franchise has the best kebabs in town. Unfortunately, the chicken kebab with vegetables was very greasy, so much so that a thick puddle of grease collected in the kebab wrapper. Today was the first time that happened; I've always had veal kebabs before, and they were great. By the way, they serve kebab meat here, not rotisserie meat! What's not OK are the toilets. The faucet on the sink is wobbly, and there's no soap. You need to get to that place urgently.

We came here for a kebab based on a recommendation, and we were not disappointed. Four of us went, and we were all thrilled with the taste and quality of the kebabs. The value for money was excellent, the decor was lovely, and the fact that you can now sit outside is great. I highly recommend Bärlin Döner.

I don't know if the owner has changed. This is the worst chicken kebab I've ever had. I could only eat my raw vegetables and fries; I had to throw away everything else.

This was my first time there and I'm absolutely thrilled. The food is delicious, everyone is very friendly, and the outdoor seating is incredibly comfortable—perfect for the coming summer months! I'll be back!

Super delicious kebabs for a fair price and super friendly service ☺️ They recently added some really great wooden furniture in front of the shop, which really enhances the overall ambiance at Westerntor. It's great that you can now sit outside in the summer! I'd love to come back.

The attitude of the staff reflects the food. They'll put dirt in your food if you refuse sexual assault. It's happened to me three times. I now only eat at German or other European restaurants. The atmosphere is like a ghetto. I recommend going somewhere else if you don't want diarrhea.

People treat me differently depending on whether they think I'm Iranian or not—it's simply absurd. When I said I wasn't Iranian, you should have seen their faces—one of them almost wanted to throw the kebab at me. If you hate your job so much, you should quit.

Best doner I've ever eaten in Paderborn! I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is great, and I really enjoyed eating outside and enjoying the sunshine. You can see they've made an effort by installing wooden tables, which add a warm, welcoming feel to the busy street. A great initiative!

I went there again after a long time and was pleasantly surprised. The kebab was really delicious, especially with the fresh herbs that go right into it – they give it a really intense flavor. The meat was nice and juicy and crispy at the same time, and not as oily as you'd expect from some other places. The herb sauce and the spicy sauce were really good! I particularly liked the herb fries – not just regular fries, but really spicy and super delicious. I also think it's nice that you can eat outside on the terrace again in the summer. I'll definitely be coming back more often!

This is the best kebab in Paderborn! The new owner has the place very well under control. The tables are cleaned after each meal, all the ingredients for the kebab are super fresh, and the exterior has also been given a major makeover! The new terrace is particularly great – there's generally very little outdoor seating in Paderborn – especially for kebabs. It's great that this was tackled and implemented so well here.

Delicious kebab and friendly staff. Food was ready quickly.

I haven't been to the Westerntor in a while, and I was really impressed by the Bärlin Döner's outdoor area. It's a real eye-catcher for Paderborn, and the kebab tasted great. I'll definitely be back soon.

Since the change of ownership in early 2025, the Berlin Döner has enjoyed a very friendly atmosphere. A great new outdoor area with beautiful large tables and benches invites you to linger with a group of friends. And the kebab is always delicious! Special recommendation: the vegetarian kebab with falafel and vegetables, served with herb fries!

A truly great kebab shop! Fresh, well-seasoned, and prepared with love. I was particularly impressed by the staff—friendly, attentive, and quick. The outdoor area is also inviting, with great seating. I'd love to come back here again!

Chicly decorated, but nothing more. The staff are unfriendly and the food is way too expensive. I prefer the kebab shop next door by the cinema.

The price has now almost tripled and is not really appropriate. And the last kebabs I ate were always heavy on my stomach, and the last one made me feel really bad afterwards.

For 7€ the kebab (I had veggie) was just too small. There was also so much sauce on it that when we got home the kebab was already eaten and the sauce dominated the taste. If the price had been closer to €5 I would probably have given it 3-4 stars due to inflation, but as it was it was only 2-3.

one of the best doners I have ever had in Germany , simple as that

Unfortunately, it has deteriorated greatly. Otherwise always a pleasure to be there, usually well attended. Compared to the taste until recently only 1 star. You could have left the map and recipes behind. It's not that difficult. Maybe another owner? Either way, it's a shame. I'm already looking forward to the opening of the new Bärliner Döner - maybe the old taste will return there 😍

best kebab + best service just awesome, hopefully it will always stay that way 👍🏾

Very poor customer service, didn't get what I ordered. More fried vegetables than meat even though no vegetables were ordered.

Really good Doner. 7€ Doner mit Kalb 2€ Ayran

Very very nice people! A good place.

You order at the checkout. Paid. Gets the wrong drink opened. Afterwards you will be asked at least 3 times what you want and whether you want to take it with you? Even though you have a tray in your hand and the wrong drink has been opened without asking. If you don't respond to questions because there are people behind and next to you who are being served at the same time and because you have already repeated everything twice, you will be looked at stupidly and receive insults in some local language. Please listen to your customers! By the way, the receipt is collected again even though it belongs to the customer.

They finished rolling the Dürüm in 25 seconds - we even turned on the stopwatch. Top!

Great Döner. Large portions at good taste. Fresh and well seasoned. Love the vegetables mixed into the Döner plate.

10 out of 10. Big portions you can even eat for 2 people. Wonderful decorations inside Don’t miss this place if you want to get great Doner

The taste of the kebab was okay, but it was too packed.

Ordinary kebab, nothing special, I don't understand why this rating is so high

Save your money and go somewhere else. I won't do that to myself again. I don't want to say anything more about this store. Horrible!

Top shop! Good atmosphere. The kebab is really tasty, the ingredients weren't skimpy. The veal meat was extremely tasty!

An impressive shop full of disappointments, a bottomless pit. If the guests are female of Western origin, everything is fine and they are treated well. Unlike the women from their home country, the more revealing the women are, the better and cheaper the product on offer becomes. However, if you enter this shop as a Western-looking man, all sympathy has disappeared from the faces of the heroes of the Ottoman Empire. You are not really noticed, your wishes are not taken into account, I just find it sad how little this shop in Paderborn adapts, often after countless visits to the local restaurants I couldn't resist the temptation to eat a rotisserie bag, but again and again I had to experience disappointment. In terms of taste it was a complete disaster and I also reported on the service in the upper part of the review, Anyone who expects fresh vegetables with their rotisserie dish will also be in for another disappointment (the product I ordered cannot be called kebab). Do yourself a favor, go eat a delicious kebab near the cinema (my opinion) I apologize for the bad spelling but since I typed ixhvalles on my cell phone, I ignored the upper and lower case letters, but at least I know the German language 🙈

Pricy for the quantity and quality served

Every time I had half food poisoning after eating. In addition, the portions are totally stingy

The kebab is still good, unfortunately the price has risen again from €6 to €7. However, in winter it is not possible to eat inside because it is too cold. I sat inside with my children and had to leave our winter jackets on. Some heating would be beneficial. A few years ago the service was also much faster. Now you have to wait a few minutes.

Chicken wasn’t cooked, asked for a Döner Box got a box of chips, vegetables and a very small portion of undercooked chicken meat.

The taste of the Veggie Dürüm was okay, unfortunately it was rolled extremely poorly so that everything fell out. No toilet despite seating to clean up the mess. When these conditions are discussed, all that is received is a shrug of the shoulders.

After the cinema, a kebab. Rarely have I seen such a dirty and polluted shop. Leftover food and chips everywhere on the floor and under the tables. Junkhouse.

Really, potatoes instead of meat in Dürüm? 8.50 and then half potatoes, I didn't taste any more of the chicken....Sorry folks, way off target!

I used to always get kebab there, but the last few times the kebab was just way too small. To be honest, if I buy a kebab for 7 euros, I want to get full of it. In any case, it was the last time there...it's a shame because the quality is good.

A nice restaurant for Turkish doner and dealing with customers is very nice

Hardly any meat in the kebab I delivered for €8, an outrageous cheek. Otherwise very tasty

I got potatoes instead of meat inside the dürüm. Price is quite high. I would not recommend this place.

Berlin Döner Paderborn 😀👍 is for me personally the best kebab shop here in Paderborn City!

Still the best kebab in Paderborn. However, I miss the vegetarian alternatives. Other kebab shops like in Berlin or other cities offer seitan or falafel kebab. Unfortunately, the store has hardly developed in recent years. People tend to rely on tried-and-tested products instead of pursuing new ideas. Nevertheless, the price/performance ratio is always right!

Meat was cold and quality was ok Service rather disinterested and no focus on the customer... The meat tongs are always thrown on the pile of meat after he has filled the bread...you can also put it next to it because he attacks it with his hand...

We ordered food yesterday. These were by far the worst fries I have ever eaten. The quantity was also absolutely outrageous for the price (3.50).

🇩🇪 Recently, Bärlin Döner Paderborn 🇩🇪 All in all we paid €8.50 and there was no waiting in the queue... A "person of color" stood at the front and said, "Excuse me, could you please put a little more meat on the kebab? The man at the kebab counter said, "I'm the boss and that costs 1.50 euros extra!". How would you react when writing this review....

The kebab here really blew me away! The ingredients are fresh and taste simply great. I particularly liked the sauce. The ambience is very inviting and perfect for spending time with friends. I feel like I'm experiencing a real taste of the city here.

They have slacked off. You probably no longer need to make a good kebab. The kebab is simply made carelessly. The food is slapped on there like garbage. The kebab itself was nothing special. The furnishings are now simply worn out and partly shabby, the toilets are an absolute disgrace for a shop that serves food. Really bad. You can't touch anything there, otherwise the kebab will be out faster than you can see. Really a shame. I'm not coming back anymore.

This platform offers an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs to benefit from an established business model focused on sustainability and local production...

I can't say much about the taste because the food arrives ice cold and your mouth freezes. There are already icicles on the fries. Definitely delicious if it was warm. I've now given it to the neighbor's cat. The store probably doesn't have a phone number. Or the phone on silent. Contact was not possible.

The only positive thing is the speed

It was really very tasty. The employees were also very nice, you didn't have to wait long, everything went really quickly. I can only recommend it

Very tasty kebab, really tasty and can only be recommended The employees are very nice and funny and the atmosphere there is top notch

The idea of ​​a unique location for enjoying a kebab appeals particularly to younger people. It is clearly communicated: This is not just about food; it's an experience! This makes you want to stop by with friends and treat yourself to a Bärliner kebab together

Meat is great but rest very mediocre, wouldnt eat again

The concept of franchising offers a fantastic opportunity for committed entrepreneurs. The support from the brand seems to be well structured and promotes a positive working environment - this is certainly noticeable in customer service!

The flexibility and adaptability of the franchise system have enabled me to successfully adapt my business to the local market.

The marketing support from the franchise is top notch. They helped me quickly expand my local presence and get more customers.

I am impressed with how the franchise system has exceeded my expectations. The training courses are great and really helped me get off to a successful start.😃

The store closes earlier than 5 a.m. This means you don't get anything to eat or drink after 4 a.m.

The clear presentation of franchise opportunities inspires you to become part of a growing network. The information is transparent and easy to understand.

The ease of use of the website and the clarity with which the business opportunities are presented make it easy for potential franchisees to find the necessary information and take the next step.

Great tasting food at a cheap price

A fantastic example of how an innovative franchise concept can drive growth and success in the business world. The passion and commitment are clearly noticeable.

So I'm really disappointed, they've deteriorated quite a bit! The fries weren't ready on the inside and were soggy on the outside, the kebab meat was completely light and not grilled... I also only see new faces, all in all, I had to go there because everything else was closed. I once thought the fries were the best in Paderborn, well times change

The idea of ​​a franchise that focuses on local excellence and authenticity shows the importance of supporting local products. By empowering local communities, it creates sustainable business opportunities.

The opportunity to be part of a growing network is particularly attractive. It offers a fantastic platform for exchange and shared success.

A strong commitment to franchisee training and development. This not only strengthens their business but also the brand as a whole.

Very tasty, the best kebab in Paderborn

Success stories on the site are inspiring and show realistic examples of what is possible with hard work and good support.

Anyone who has gotten to know the store from the beginning knows that the quality has deteriorated tremendously. Even good chicken meat only has fat left on it. Can this still be called a kebab? Send inspectors there first. Even the kebab shop next door is better and has better quality, but you can see that the good name from the previous owners is still there. Unfortunately, in my opinion, no kebab.

It used to be much better. There are no more plates, only Styrofoam take-away plates for eating in the restaurant. The fries are now from wholesalers and are no longer as good as they used to be, and the drinks are no longer available in 0.5 bottles. Prices are stable. When it comes to meat, you can be lucky and get something warm, but unfortunately it's usually a mix of warm and cold. Too bad!

The franchisee support system offered is first class. Helpful and comprehensive – exactly what you need for success.

Food was very tasty Was also given good advice about allergens A great alternative was suggested to me and it tasted great Didn't have to wait long Everyone was incredibly friendly I sometimes feel bad that I'm too restricted because of my allergies and that I'm really annoying others, but I didn't feel like a burden and was even suggested a few food options

Just sad. The kebab used to be super tasty and good. Now one of the worst ever. I don't know how you can be so inept at building a kebab. Hardly any salad, hardly any sauce and one of the smallest kebabs ever. So very, very sad.

I paid £25 for 2 dürüm and a fries, there was hardly any content in it and not what I said it would be and way too overpriced... just pathetic and disgusting... eaten once and never again! Unfriendly employees too!

So far one the best deiner in Paderborn! VERY positive service. VEEERY generous amount of food. And VEEEEEERY TASTY. P.S. Fix the speaker, when the song with powerful bass goes the speaker makes a swallowing noise.

Okay place, i would not recommend it, the food is the best you get in Paderborn. I have tasted better food elsewhere. The place is dirty and the toilets are not clean. The service was okay but still not good enough.

I come from somewhere else and this was the best kebab I've eaten

The success stories of satisfied franchisees are incredibly motivating. They show that with the right partner, dreams can be realized.

It was a recommendation from friends, but unfortunately it wasn't what we expected. -hardly any sauce in it (very dry!!!) - the meat was hard and dried out +vegetarian option was available - Vegetables were partly dry and partly bitter -The sauce and the ingredients in it were somehow not at all suited to our taste -very salty + interesting interior design -What we particularly noticed was the long waiting time -no parking space

We were there today (08/17/24) around 1 a.m. to get a kebab and a kebab box. After we had already paid, we bought and paid for a drink separately. The two gentlemen behind the counter seemed to have had a problem with this for some reason, said we hadn't paid for the drink and were VERY unfriendly. The two of them unnecessarily complained to the poor woman at the checkout, even though she mentioned several times that we had already paid for the drink. Of course, I didn't receive any sauce for my kebab box either. Very disappointing.

A refreshing opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs who value quality and a strong brand image. The support throughout the entire partnership is exemplary.

I hope it stays that good now, before the store closed it was a constant up and down.

The food is great, I have absolutely nothing to complain about. One of the best kebab restaurants in Paderborn. However, I think that the hygiene in the restaurant has completely deteriorated. It used to be always clean and tidy, but now the tables are often sticky and it doesn't smell that pleasant.

The service and the food used to be much, much better. NOW just quickly and quickly and the food doesn't taste so good anymore and it's dirty everywhere.

Had high expectations as many say it is the best kebab shop. The service was pretty bad even though it wasn't busy and the taste of the kebab was also mediocre

Unfortunately NEVER AGAIN!!! I have eaten a kebab there regularly for 6 years but now - the last 3 visits have been very disappointing!!!! The kebab has become totally MINI, unfortunately the meat is no longer edible. As always, when I ordered I was asked what I wanted in it - I no longer have tomatoes, I no longer have cucumbers, I no longer have sheep's cheese, I no longer have hot sauce, they said!!!! On a normal Saturday evening when there was nothing going on in the city - that's not possible!!!! Unfortunately, the shop has also become totally dirty!!! You can only get a kebab plate in a polystyrene bowl, not on a normal plate like before and eat it comfortably in a clean shop!!! Well, we have enough competition to have a nice meal there (e.g. directly across the street). Very very unfortunate!!!

Super tasty kebab. The meat is well seasoned and slightly crispy. Delicious bun. Prices 6€ for a kebab are perfectly fine. Always my pleasure.

The taste is actually quite ok, what's not possible is that you get your "doner kebab plate" served in a plastic bowl with a disposable wooden fork. So unfortunately it's not ecological at all.

Taste was okay, you can't call it Dürüm here anymore. Dürüm the size of a sandwich, nothing in it! Rude staff. And the Dürüm isn't even rolled properly. And it's cold too. Not recommended!

Food is always delicious and service is great. You can tell that the employees enjoy their job. You sometimes have to wait around 10-15 minutes when it's busy, but in my opinion it's worth it.

The worst and most disgusting kebab I have ever "eaten"!!!! What my partner and I received today can hardly be surpassed in terms of impudence. We have eaten at Bärlin Döner many times and know that the quality has deteriorated significantly over time, but after what we got today we will never eat there again. Apparently the employee scraped together the last bits of meat for our two kebabs. The meat looked like garbage. It was cartilaginous and no structure was visible. Not cleanly cut meat from the spit, but really rubbish. The potato slices that were supposed to represent the vegetables were raw and dripping with fat. The salad also looked worn out and was definitely no longer fresh. The fries we ordered were just as disgusting as the rest. Raw potato slices dripping with fat were put in the fries box. When spoken to, it was said that there weren't enough fries left. If we had opened the kebab immediately after buying it and looked at it, and not only at home after 5 minutes, we would have left everything there with the seller. 15 euros wasted on food that would certainly have given us stomach ache. All the poor drunk people who came from the Libori fair seemed to have eaten the kebab. So outrageous. Everything looked very dirty and unhygienic. We will never enter this store again.

Never had such a disgusting kebab before. I got 2 kebabs and 1 fries. Both kebabs got gristly meat. Shortly before the end, something is mixed together and sold to the drunks. I wasn't drunk. Even some of the fries weren't fries and were replaced with fried potatoes because they didn't want to bother frying any more. The main thing is to dump the customer quickly and collect the money.

It's no longer what it used to be. Service catastrophic. Fries and drinks only received upon request.
