A very average kebab, almost no meat, only vegetables, plus for the sauces and size

I sincerely hope the meat wasn't from Polish meat factories and was halal. I'm not entirely sure. 8 euros. Standard Berlin-style doner kebab mush with ready-made sauce. Oh well, I don't have to eat it, my own fault.

Checkpoint Kebab in Berlin is fantastic. The place is spotless, and that's not an understatement: they're all working there, as if you've unexpectedly stumbled into a carnival act.

This place only serves beef donner. Gdk give you chicken as well. It is more a take away place than a restaurant, although there is a restaurant next door where we seated ourself 9nly to find out it's was not part of the kebab place.

Anyone in the area should definitely try a doner kebab here. The meat is perfectly seasoned and of high quality, and the sauces are also excellent. You can eat inside or, in the summer, on the terrace. The doner kebab maker works quickly, so even when it's busy, there are no long waits.

I also had it in Paris and once in Berlin. 😆 But I absolutely loved it!! It was completely different from the ones in Taiwan!! When I ordered, I was curious about what their pizza was like. I hesitated for a long time before ordering more. The owner gave us a slice to try first. It was really delicious, and I was glad we ordered more. The owner even gave us more meat, which was really great. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶

Tried Check Point Kebab for the first time and it was truly amazing! The meat was juicy with just the right amount of charred flavor, perfectly balanced with fresh veggies and soft bread. The sauces added another layer of taste, making every bite satisfying without being too heavy. Definitely one of the best kebabs I’ve had – I’ll be coming back for sure!

This kebab is highly overrated, likely by tourists that don't know any better. The location is great so it's good ease of access and the service is very friendly for Berlin standards. However we found the kebabs to be very light on the amount of meat and quite a bit over priced, you pay for the location. Personally I would give this one a miss and go find a location a bit more off the beaten path

The food was really good and very tasty. You're happy to wait a reasonable amount of time for that. But when "good acquaintances/friends of the house" simply walk up to the counter from the side, past the actual queue, and place an order that is then quite obviously given priority over the other orders from customers who have been waiting longer, that's quite rude! I made this clear to the employee when it was our turn, but I had the impression that he wasn't doing it out of conviction either, but rather because he's probably instructed to give certain customers such preferential treatment. It's a real shame, because this significantly spoiled the overall impression, even if the delicious food made up for some of it.

We went there at 1 a.m. after a visit to a bar – the kebab special was fantastic, one of the best I've ever had. The seller was extremely friendly and personable. Even at that hour, it was still quite busy. The tip came from the Späti around the corner – absolutely right! Nice: There's seating in front of the shop, and the restaurant right next door is part of the restaurant. On weekends, they even offer live music. An all-round successful late-night stop – I'd love to come back!

Preferably -10 stars. The visit ruined my whole day; I have rarely been so angry and sad. I won't soon forget this traumatic experience. We ordered our food after a while all the orders came except from me and my mother, when the others had already eaten our food still didn't come. We watch as people who came after us all already had their food. We asked the staff several times when our food would arrive. They said “coming soon” but after a long time there was no sign of food and I didn’t feel respected. We would have to watch everyone eat with hungry stomachs and wait 40MIN. The food was average, I don't recommend going there and I'll never set foot there again, I'd rather eat rubbish or starve than experience that again
