Echter Berliner Dortmund in Dortmund

I waited 20 minutes to order and was constantly ignored. I was standing right in front of the order counter and repeatedly tried to get their attention, as everyone behind me was served immediately. When I finally asked if I could order now, I was simply told "wait a moment," while everyone behind me was allowed to order right away. After 20 minutes, I left the restaurant without food. I understand having to wait to order, but what I don't understand is why everyone else was able to order, and I was constantly being brushed off. I will never go there again, regardless of whether the food tastes good or not; the service is simply disappointing.

The meat was juicy and delicious. The price was also excellent. For me, definitely the best kebab shop in Dortmund. Highly recommended! 🙂

The food was delicious, I haven't had a doner kebab like that in ages 🎊 But nothing can beat a steak doner kebab!!!!! Absolutely delicious, I highly recommend it 🙏🏼❤️

I went back after a long time, and unfortunately, it was even worse than before. The doner used to be really good, depending only on who was filling it. That seems to still be the case, or maybe the doner is just generally bad now. The bread was too thick, dry, and hard, there was very little meat, hardly any salad, and way too much sauce on the bottom. They didn't even ask about toppings. The meat itself was dripping with fat, so much so that it was oozing out the bottom – simply disgusting. The staff still don't seem to know how to layer a doner properly. It's a shame that the quality has declined, especially with the prices constantly rising. It used to be the best doner in town for me, but not for a long time now. There are better and cheaper places out there these days.

Delicious steak doner! We came here specifically to eat a real Berlin doner. We opted for the steak doner. The meat was absolutely fantastic. The price of €12 for this quality is definitely reasonable. The atmosphere is modern and inviting. The staff are friendly and attentive. We'll gladly come back to try the other sauces besides the classic Berlin one.

It was recommended to me... I'm quite disappointed 😞 The bread is far too thin and everything falls out.

Very tasty 😜 and friendly staff.

I had a doner kebab plate with chicken, "real" sauce, and garlic sauce on the meat, served with a piece of bread. The meat is by far the best doner kebab I've had in a long time. The sauces are fresh and incredibly delicious. The staff is very friendly, and I also like the decor. I was here for the first time today, but definitely not the last.

The steak doner is tasty, but the price is not justified. I tried it once, but that was enough.

A superb experience and by far the best Forum we've ever eaten at!! Everything is homemade and everything is excellent...Go without hesitation and you'll see the difference...

Travelled from Manchester for a different event but made a pitstop at this place for some breakfast. Absolutely brilliant service by Sadat and the Kalbfleisch was too good! Great amount of food and affordable too. Would definitely go again!

The best doner kebab I've ever eaten! A huge number of ingredients, a massive selection of sauces, and generously filled – probably the biggest "regular" doner kebab I've ever had. The taste is simply amazing! Plus, the staff is incredibly friendly – ​​you immediately feel welcome. We'll definitely be back!

Best kebab of my life! Very good! Thank you for everything 🥰

Honestly – I've never eaten a kebab like this before! Juicy, perfectly seasoned, fresh ingredients, and that flavor… simply amazing! 😍 When I'm in Dortmund, there's only one place I go: Echter Berliner Kebab. Highly recommended! 🥙🔥

Best doner kebab I know. Delicious meat and vegetables. Everything goes together perfectly. Highly recommended!

The doner kebab is very large and worth the price.

I ordered through Too Good To Go three times – and each time the order was canceled by the store. Very disappointing. The first time, I was already standing in front of the store when the order was canceled five minutes before pickup time. I drove there for nothing and went home empty-handed. The other two times, the orders were also canceled at the last minute, just as I was getting ready to leave. I had called twice beforehand to check on the order, but no one answered. In my opinion, if you don't know whether there will be any food left over, you shouldn't list it on Too Good To Go. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this store.

The döner kebab is amazing, the leaf döner is fantastic, and the staff are wonderfully attentive.

It's gotten very, very bad, the doner bread has deteriorated significantly. It's been made very thin, like a piece of paper, and was made without any care. The doner is difficult to eat and tears easily on every side. It was unfortunately good, but it's gone downhill.

I never imagined I'd eat such a good meat doner kebab, it was so delicious... I'd choose this place over any other in Dortmund.

Since we now have a 7% tax on food instead of 19%, it would be good if prices dropped a little; then we'd eat out more often. Thanks! 👍

This is the best steak doner I've ever eaten; I can't eat doner anywhere else anymore. And they're not stingy with the meat either. A well-deserved 5 stars 🤤👍🏻

Nothing more, nothing less! Top 1 doner I've ever eaten. I even recorded a video about this place. It's very good, the service and the place itself are very nice. The doner itself is hard to rate, but no one should be disappointed.

I had the chicken donner and got a food poisoning the next day

Definitely the best doner kebab I've ever eaten! The sauces, the meat, the vegetables, and everything else is a fantastic explosion of flavor in my mouth, unlike anything I've ever experienced with a doner kebab before.

The doner kebab was very good, no need to say much more. The ingredients were good and the combination was delicious. The sauces were excellent. The meat was fresh and cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and the price was fair at €9 – you can't complain.

By far the best doner kebab in Dortmund. I'm not usually a huge doner fan and have tried them in Berlin quite a few times, but this is the best doner I've had in ages. The meat is perfect and the selection of sauces is decent. The only slight drawback is the grilled vegetables, which seem a bit forced and unappetizing (it has to be a Berlin-style doner, after all). But you don't have to choose that. The price is steep, yes, but if you want quality, you have to pay for it. I'd rather pay €9 for a perfect doner than less for one where the quality (of the meat) is questionable. The fact that they don't sell Coca-Cola is an added bonus. If I'm going to get a doner in Dortmund, it'll only be here!

The doner kebab was acceptable, but the large, open trash can right next to the counter, where everyone throws their food scraps and other waste, is absolutely unhygienic. On top of that, the staff were extremely unfriendly. Unfortunately, that was my last visit – a real shame.

By far the best doner kebab I've ever eaten...unbelievable ❤️

Incredibly delicious doner kebabs and lahmacun! The good reviews were definitely justified! Hats off!

Absolutely nothing to complain about. Top quality meat. Real steak. Amazing staff. Extremely friendly. I highly recommend it.

This place is really great, great doner kebab, good fries, and outdoor seating too! Only the toilets are a bit dirty.

A good kebab, but only in a bun. The bun was perfectly baked and crispy. A very large selection of salads. It's also topped with fried onions. I also had the tortilla, but definitely the bun.

Some of the meat was raw. And the boss wasn't friendly, unfortunately not down-to-earth.

Ate a dürüm döner. It was amazing!

I've never eaten such a delicious kebab!! And the staff are simply more than friendly. Thank you again ❤❤

Best kebab we’ve had. A must try in Dortmund!

The taste was quite good, not top-notch, but definitely 8/10. However, the doner kebab was very sparsely filled. First, it was just salad, then just meat. Furthermore, the doner was barely edible. It fell apart after two bites and became a doner plate. Generally, I appreciate it when ingredients aren't skimped on, but nobody likes an overstuffed doner kebab. They should just make the bread bigger. But the staff was friendly and pleasant.

It's really delicious. Istanbul is here.

The doner kebab was too expensive + the meat was too rancid, it didn't taste good at all, not even the grilled fruit 😵‍💫

I'm not usually a fan of doner kebabs, but this one was so delicious! I had a steak doner, and my sister had chicken. The fries were unbeatable! Very friendly service. Thank you so much!

I think the doner kebab is absolutely delicious, especially the portions are very large.

Amazing chicken doner kebab, great sauces, crisp salads, everything fresh. Highly recommended. When we're in Dortmund, we'd only eat our doner kebab there; the service is excellent. Five stars for everything! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Everything was very nice. Well done!!!

Best doner kebab in the whole city, very solid and well-balanced 😎👌

Dirty. The tables aren't cleaned and the floor is filthy. McDonald's has more charm. They advertise steak doner, and on a Saturday at 7 p.m., nobody's there? Furthermore, the waitstaff shouldn't be chewing gum like cows and playing on their phones while customers are placing orders. The doner was okay, but nothing special. Only when the owner apparently came into the restaurant did the atmosphere become a bit more lively, and you could see him cursing because the temporary staff had completely burned the doner kebab. Well, he had to throw a lot of it away. Nowhere will I go again.

The bread they use is very unique otherwise it is the same donor no major difference

The real Berliner in Dortmund is simply amazing! The meat is perfectly seasoned, the bread is beautifully crispy, and the sauces are absolutely delicious. You can tell they put love into it. My favorite kebab shop in Dortmund 😋

I thought the doner kebab was really bad. I had the steak, which was okay. But the rest was just awful. And definitely not for a ridiculous €12! That's ridiculous. Plus, they used the wrong sauces. It all seems very disorganized. I'll never be able to justify that price 😂

The doner kebab is no longer good, unfortunately. I had a doner plate with chicken. The portion size was good for the price (€15), and ketchup and mayo were included at no extra charge. The hot sauce was indeed hot, but it was also mayo- or yogurt-based, or something similar. I thought the "real" sauce was very good. What really bothered me was that they only provided disposable cutlery, and even then, only forks. (It's probably cheaper, but they should still just get metal forks.)

My doner kebab was amazing. My first time having a steak doner, and I have to say, it was worth the price. I think I made a really good choice of toppings and especially sauces. But not my colleague. I'm not sure if he was just too clueless to tell the friendly doner vendor "please, no spicy," or if he simply missed it in the hustle and bustle. However, it was quite a sight to see him gasping for air after eating the fiery sauce, his eyes watering, and finally running to the fridge to drench himself with an ayran. All in all: a successful meal.

Top-notch from the service to the food! 10/10, highly recommended.

I don't usually eat doner kebabs... But your doner kebab in Dortmund is the best 😍🫶🏽

Best doner kebab in Dortmund by far 👍👍👍 Nuri is the best!

Best kebab in North Rhine-Westphalia!! 🥙🤩 I haven't had a kebab this good in a long time. Finally, a regular, well-made, delicious flatbread, in the triangular shape it should be. Plus, there's a good selection of free extra toppings, and the size is perfect. A bit overpriced for €9, and the shop seems untidy, but the kebab is really pretty perfect.

It couldn't be better Really not

Very friendly fresh juicy doner ordered even though it was not yet 12 o'clock they are very well prepared enough seats can only recommend

Incredible taste of food 🍀 love each type of doner / durum / lahmacun

Where do 4.8 stars come from???

Amazing food, highly recommend, big shout out to Sidhar amazing service quality!

Greetings to Ayhan brother. Thank you very much for the best, biggest and most beautiful döner kebab we have ever eaten in Dortmund, excellent conversation and coffee. Greetings from Istanbul.

Great place, awesome kebab, not great prices. €9 for a kebab and so little topping. But it was fresh.

The owner, Mr. Ayhan, is a very kind and friendly person. The food and service are excellent. The döner is delicious. We were very pleased.

I tried the steak doner kebab today, but unfortunately, it was either sliced ​​too thickly or was inherently tough. Otherwise, the veal and chicken are of very good quality, as are all the other ingredients.

Taste was okay - Meat was cold, although not much going on - Overall a 7.4 out of 10

Punchline: incredible flavour — best Doner I have ever tried. We visited Dortmund for a business trip from Canada and UK and all wanted an authentic Doner experience. Google reviews pointed us to Echter — for the right reason! Line-up out the door when we arrived and while the wait to order was 15-20 minutes, it was well worth it. Most of us got the chicken sandwich with all the fixings and it was incredible! + some fries on the side with their garlic dip 👌… So much flavour and their sauces made the experience! We ate on the picnic benches right outside as it was a warm night but plenty of room inside as well. There are lots of other Doner spots in the area right beside Echter, but don’t be influenced. Wait in line, it’s worth it! Super reasonably priced, for 12 people we paid less than 150 euro!! 🙌 NOTE: they do not serve beer here unfortunately, but we went around corner to the quick-mart and bought some roadies to enjoy with dinner.

I'd like to share my opinion about this kebab shop. Generally, I think the kebab tastes good. They use decent meat, and its flavor is slightly different from the standard kebab. Nevertheless, in my opinion, it's by no means the best kebab in Dortmund, probably not even among the top 5. What surprises me, however, is that hardly any other review mentions a point that struck me as particularly negative: the prices. I'm really not someone who quickly says, "That's too expensive." But what's happening here is a prime example of how many kebab shops are currently evolving. About three years ago, a veal kebab here cost €6.50. Today, you pay €9, and that's for chicken or veal! Frankly, I wonder how this steep price increase is justified. The bread is a standard flatbread, the meat a typical industrial product, nothing special. So why this price? I don't want to accuse anyone of any intention, but in my opinion, the price-performance ratio here is simply no longer right. If even a well-known YouTuber like "Holle," who uses his own high-quality meat, develops his own sauces, and offers fresh bread, sells his kebab in Hamburg for €9.50, how can you get the same price for a regular product here? My impression is that many operators are currently trying to profit from the general hype surrounding "premium kebabs" without delivering the corresponding quality. I think €9 for a completely standard veal/chicken kebab is excessive. I used to be a regular customer, but at these prices, I'm no longer going to pay. It's a shame that some people have become so greedy. In my opinion, a kebab like this should cost a maximum of €7.50. Anything above that just doesn't feel fair.

Top döner crispy so more is not recommended

So, anyone talking about a real Berlin kebab has obviously never been to Berlin. On the way back to Berlin, I changed trains in Dortmund and was delayed for a bit. I trusted the reviews and the names and ordered a kebab here. The veal was good. But then it had nothing to do with a Berlin kebab. The sauces were very bland, far too watery, and tasteless. Offered grilled vegetables??? Then they asked for some other gimmick, like extra cheese or fried onions??? Even though I ordered a kebab to eat in, it was wrapped in aluminum foil, and I ended up paying €9!! for a kebab in an inauthentic bun. So, I can only recommend this place to tourists or some amateurs.

Good and generously filled kebab. Very tasty, but not much seating.

Very tasty dürüm! The quality is top-notch, and the friendliness and enthusiasm of the staff are particularly impressive.

A bit too expensive (€9), but the quality is great. For €7, it would definitely be an everyday döner. All in all, happy as a f and it was an experience. Thanks Dortmund, see you soon. 👋

It's getting more and more expensive. It's already down to €9. I won't be going there again.

The best I've ever eaten in DE, it's really worth it

Food very tasty and at a good price. Large portions. Weaker seating and service

The doner steak doesn't need any sauce. Truly delicious. The best doner steak I've ever eaten.

A really great kebab with real veal, chicken, or beef. I wish it were a bit cheaper, especially for the beef, but the quality is top-notch.

Sry but the store is overhyped for not even being good

Great food, great shop, great staff

Was really good, but the only thing that really bothered me was an employee who continued to mess around with the same gloves he used to take the money

It's truly amazing. The sauces, especially, are truly amazing; they make the whole kebab even better. And the grilled vegetables on the side are simply fantastic! The portions are generous, you'll easily fill yourself up and leave feeling satisfied.

We tried the meat doner. It was delicious. The staff was welcoming. I recommend it.

I highly recommend Echter Berliner Dortmund. The staff are incredibly friendly, the kebabs are delicious, and the filling is also plentiful. So, it's definitely worth a visit if you want to eat out. High praise from me.

I prefered steak döner and I can confidently claim that I ate absolute better döners in Cologne. What I ate was not a döner, I think. It is a good meal I liked the taste, but its not a döner.

Chic atmosphere. Unfortunately, I was ignored for 10 minutes, so I couldn't order. I left and went back in after 5 minutes, and then I was ready...but it was also very busy. Everything was good and super tasty! €9 was a bit overpriced, but whatever. My only criticism: the salad was a bit lacking. Maybe a bit too much salad.

Authentic Berliner Döner in Dortmund – a must for kebab lovers! 😋😋 Today we ate at Echter Berliner Dortmund and had the choice between chicken, ground beef, or a very fine steak. We opted for the latter – once as a yufka and once in a flatbread. 😍 Conclusion: absolutely delicious!😋😋🔥 The location is modern and stylishly decorated, with a lovely outdoor terrace. The owners are warm and hospitable – we were treated like royalty. 🙏 The kebab itself was simply divine: homemade sauce, crisp ingredients, and a perfect Mexican spice. 😋😋😋😋😋😋 For our drink, we had Elephant Bay iced tea – a dreamy combination. ♥️ One thing is for sure: We'll definitely be back! The Real Berlin Döner in Dortmund is an absolute must for all kebab fans. 💪 Many thanks to the entire team and continued success! 🤝❤️

tastes very delicious I can only recommend it

The best kebab on a plate I've ever eaten. Excellent flavor and generous portions. I highly recommend it.

My family and I stopped here for a meal while traveling. Man, these brothers who work there live for kebabs and their customers. It was very busy when we arrived, and we were allowed to order right away because we came with two children. Best kebab! Best service! Greetings from Belgium!

Best Lachmacun in North Rhine-Westphalia. Unbeatable value for money. Thank you for the delicious food. You are the best. Thank you 🙌

I went there to eat a kebab with meat from a halal farm. Positive: They don't sell dirty Coca-Cola. Less positive: It's far too expensive for the quality. Too hectic. And, well, the hygiene could be a lot better. Young people seem to like it.

They wrote my colleague's name Mohammad and Eren, not my name, which wasn't very nice but it tasted good nonetheless 😂

One of the best kebabs I've ever eaten

It was the best döner kebab I've ever eaten in Germany, I definitely recommend it.

Well, what can I say? I had a steak doner with vegetables, which was indescribably delicious. It's now my favorite steak doner. I can only recommend it to everyone. Unfortunately, when I recommend it, I already know it'll be too busy. Then I have to wait a long time for my doner, and well, there's nothing I can do.

Zero quality, plus reviews are deleted.

The service is good, The guys are welcoming. one of them once offered me a free drinks. Not because of that, but genuinely the döner is another level. everyone should taste and judge.

Delicious kebab, one of the best I've ever had, if not the best. Three types of meat to choose from, four sauces, and a selection of salads. A must-eat when in Dortmund.

We came from Türkiye and found the döner we've always wanted here. It was legendary, and very good. The staff was attentive, too. I've saved it and plan to try it again before we go.

The doner is actually incredibly delicious and one of the best, but my veggie doner/dürum are always much smaller than normal, and then paying the same price is absolutely outrageous. My vegetarian dürüm also had quite a bit of meat in it because the same tongs used for the meat were used for the grilled vegetables. It's so outrageous that the tongs can't be cleaned, or they just use one for the grilled vegetables because there's still so much meat hanging on them, which is all what ended up in my dürüm. Actually, 0 stars!!!!
