Hasir Ocakbaşı in Berlin

Went with a friend who knows his kebabs 🤣. We sat in but had the takeaway kebab. Probably the best kebab I've ever had. Meat tasted really nice and like thinly sliced steak. Very tasty and would recommend.

It was one of the best turikish restaurants in Kreuzberg. The food it still amazing, but the service was the worst! When you pay with card nowadays, you „MUST“ give tip. You normally do 10% in Berlin, but nobody forces you to do so. There the waiter did. And then he shouted loud around, when I mentioned it. Really bad! Was my last time going there. Too bad. I liked the place a lot.

Our food was rather boring and very expensive. Service was good, attentive and nice. You sit quite well and feel comfortable.

This was the only place where I could taste real meat during my trip.

This is the best Turkish food in Berlin!

I discovered the shop from a video clip of a Sivert Hoyem song, and I said I would go but, I found it different (probably renovated) and I ate a bit of disappointment... Otherwise, a spotless shop with Turkish flavors and those of you who don't have the same reason as me to go, it's a beautiful place

In a recent visit to this establishment with my family, we were warmly greeted by the formal waiter upon entry. Despite the busy atmosphere, we were promptly seated without prior reservation. The service continued to impress, as we received a complimentary starter to precede our main courses. The culinary experience was noteworthy, with the grilled vegetable and meat dishes showcasing authentic Turkish flavors. However, the evening took an unfortunate turn when it came time to settle the bill. In line with modern German customs, we attempted to pay by card and leave a cash tip. Regrettably, our tip of €5 was met with a discourteous remark by the waiter, who declined the amount as insufficient. Fortunately, a supervisor intervened, apologizing for the incident and ensuring it wouldn't recur. While we appreciated the exceptional service provided by the waitstaff and culinary team, the waiter's unprofessional behavior left a lasting impression. Ultimately, this establishment's near-flawless dining experience was marred by a single misstep.

Great service! Great service! Delicious food! The waiters also responded to any special requests! Very clean restaurant! Definitely going back to number 1 the next time you visit Berlin!!’ Keep it up!!!!

Happy birthday to the 1st 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ without him nothing works here👀

The food was really great – super tasty, fresh and perfectly seasoned! But what made the whole thing special was Müslüm Ejder. Not just because he's my brother, but because he puts his heart and soul into it. You immediately notice how much passion and skill he puts into his work. Huge respect – I’m proud of you, brother!

The staff was welcoming and the environment nice. We just ate the künefe and it was AMAZING. Highly recommended!

We waited half an hour to be served. We approached the waiter twice, but he had better things to do than serve us.

Even though we had reserved a table by the window, it was already occupied and we ended up sitting between several tables in the middle of the restaurant. The food was OK. However, we were ignored by several waiters and they were unfriendly. When paying, the waiter added a tip himself, which I later saw on the receipt. Unfortunately never again 👎🏼

The food was delicious, especially the lahmacun, which was at a level we would call good in Turkey.

I was not satisfied at all with this restaurant and I definitely do not recommend it. As a Turk, I will never go here again. The service was incredibly slow and disrespectful, the waiters were angry and uninterested. The food was somewhere between mediocre and bad – tasteless and carelessly prepared. Also, the atmosphere was very negative, everything seemed disorganized and uninteresting. There is no such thing as service here! If you are looking for a truly high-quality and welcoming Turkish restaurant, definitely stay away from this place!

Rudest waiters, they dont take care pf you.

50gr meat döner 8€, Coke 4€, self service and when I payed with card they forced me to pay 2€ trinkgeld. They always find a way to charge you more.

I visited this restaurant with friends, and while the food was quite good—crispy lahmacun and a well-prepared soup—the service was absolutely terrible. The head waiter was incredibly rude and dismissive from the moment we walked in. Instead of welcoming guests, he treated us with clear bias, making inappropriate remarks and creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. Throughout our meal, there was constant pressure to finish quickly, with staff subtly (and not so subtly) signaling that we should leave to make space for new customers. This made the entire experience stressful and unpleasant. A restaurant should be a place to enjoy food and hospitality, but here, the head waiter completely ruined the atmosphere. It’s a shame because the kitchen produces great food, but the attitude of the staff—especially the head waiter—completely undermines it. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who values respectful service.

Without a doubt the best kebab in Berlin, an exceptional meat that takes you on a journey to Türkiye which is even tastier than the ba. Without forgetting a remarkable service, thank you to Murtaza for his welcome, I recommend 1000%

Excellent dishes but a little strange service: we are put under pressure to leave a tip...

Better than many Iskender I have eaten in Turkey, 10/10 portions, plenty of meat and delicious, wonderful 36 kreuzberg greetings👍🏻

The kebab is too small for the price, tastes normal, nothing special. In a restaurant like this the plate should be a bit more modern and whole, it had a 19 hundred sheet metal plate and the corners were chipped

A restaurant with a Turkish atmosphere. Nice service and delicious food.

In my view and experince, it has nice food and friendly staff, a bit expensive though. Update: Based on my experience, the meat for its doner is a very good one in Berlin.

Real Turkish food. Fresh and good. Efficient service. The only drawback is that the tables are very close to each other, crowded and very noisy in the restaurant.

Cheeky and impudent. Automatically add 15% tip.

It has the best doner kebab you can eat in Berlin.

Iskender Döner was very delicious. When I added Kunefe to it, it was amazing. The tea is also nice, I recommend all of them. If I go to Berlin, I will definitely stop by again.

As tourists, we visited this restaurant and tried kebab and İskender. The taste was average. The tables are very close together, which makes the atmosphere a bit uncomfortable. Without prior information, tips were automatically calculated when paying with a card, which we only noticed afterwards - that was not okay. Overall, the prices are rather high for what is on offer.

....Meat from the charcoal grill was good, the side dishes were rather poor and rather disappointing for the price. Nevertheless, I wanted to give a 10% tip using the tip button on the EC machine. But it didn't work... because the gentlemen had already pressed the button themselves without being asked, as I discovered afterwards. Sorry... I feel like I'm a bad shell player and when I look at the recessions here, it seems to have a system. Well then, continued success, but without me!

Delicious food, fast & friendly service. ✅️

The food itself was tasty, but we thought it was way too expensive. The waitress often looked at us strangely and the payment process was complicated.

Burnt, dry food. Quantity too small for a main course. Price unreasonable. Tips are already increased by 10%. Never again.

The wrapping of the couplet was sloppy. Lahmacun and the salad served were good.

The kebab was ok. Bread very unusual. The meat taste was very intense (not quite my taste). The salad was fresh and the service was great.

A very good and authentic Turkish restaurant. We had three different dishes, all served hot at the same time. The dishes were all very tasty and the cooking points for the meat and vegetables were also perfect. If the service staff had been a little more attentive I could have given this 5 stars, but it was only four.

It can be said as 4.9 out of 5. The döner, I think it was mixed with lamb meat, was juicy and as fatty as it should be and was very delicious. The white-haired head waiter who worked on February 19, 2025, around 7.30 in the evening, was very polite and did not refuse my request to prepare a mixed plate. He also graciously responded to other customers' requests for orders independent of the menu, as they requested. The kadayfi I had for dessert was very good. I can say that it is the most delicious doner kebab I have eaten in this country where I have lived for 8 years. It would be better if the sink was a little more elaborate. In such an old restaurant, the fact that the waiters still welcome guests with kindness deserves the highest score in my opinion. well done

Ordered lamb chops, when the dish arrived one fell off the plate, all good, not bad. After 5 minutes a new one arrives. The ones before were pink tender when cut and the new one was completely cooked through and crispy. For those who can't do 1+1, that was the piece that fell on the floor, which they then threw on the grill. The bill arrives without asking, plus a 10% tip on the card calculator. Ah yes, thank you very much for the great service

We tried the döner here, and the meat was absolutely delicious. Judging by the main menu, the prices are not low, but the portion sizes are quite generous. Overall, a great spot for quality Turkish food!

The food was terrible. Had a Hasir salad, eggplant salad and number 66. As well as San Pelegrino carbonated water and Ayran. The food didn't taste like anything. The ayran was definitely thinned with water. The mineral water had already been opened and didn't taste like San Pellegrino. How beautiful the restaurant looks from the inside will never be seen again!!!

Die vielen positiven Bewertungen kann ich alle nicht nachvollziehen. Ich bin zwiegespalten, denke da werde ich nicht mehr hin gehen. Das Fladenbrot mit Joghurt als Vorspeise war sehr lecke rund ich hätte es dabei belassen sollen!. Das Essen war ok, sehr fleischlastig halt. Hatte den Grillteller mit Iskender Kebap, Lamm Kotelette, Fleischspieß etc, Das Hühnchen war zart, der Rinderspieß war zäh und knorpelig, das Hackfleisch war leider noch leicht roh Eine Katastrophe war die Sauberkeit der Toilette, ekelhaft!!! Die Tische haben auch geklebt und ich habe mich geekelt den Salz und Pfefferstreuer an zu fassen. Da nützt es auch nichts, dass die Kellner weiße Hemden und schwarze Westen mit Krawatte tragen und man "der Bruder" ist.

I can't understand all the positive reviews. I'm conflicted, I don't think I'll go there anymore. The flatbread with yogurt as a starter was very tasty and I should have left it at that! The food was ok, very meaty. Had the grill plate with Iskender kebab, lamb chops, meat skewers etc, The chicken was tender, the beef skewer was tough and gristly, and unfortunately the minced meat was still slightly raw The cleanliness of the toilet was a disaster, disgusting!!! The tables were also stuck and I was disgusted to touch the salt and pepper shakers. It doesn't help that the waiters wear white shirts and black vests with ties and you are "the brother".

We ordered a portion of kebab on the plate and a kebab in bread. The taste was quite good but it was very sad that there was so little meat on the portion of the plate. It costs €20, just imagine, but there was only HALF as much meat as in my husband's kebab bread... It's a real shame...

I don't live in Berlin. As a Turk, we came from Poland for a concert and were looking for a nice traditional taste. At first, the performance made us uneasy. To be frank, we had a taste that we could not have had at the most famous kebab restaurant in Istanbul. In addition, when we entered the venue at 12.30 today, the male and female head waiter who welcomed us was extremely polite and gave a competent performance. As a result, we left happy. We will come again, we are sure of that. Thank you for your effort.

Very expensive and the food is nothing out of this world.

Super delicious food but horrible service. The female employee was super unfriendly and made weird comments throughout her visit. At the end she selected 10% tip on the credit card machine as if it would have been a must to pay tip. I would pay tip only for the cook, not for the service

Food overpriced, service and waiter rude. Never again!!!

Authentic cuisine. Tasted good.

The inside really makes you feel like you are in Turkey, what we ate was delicious. I think the prices are a bit expensive. The meat was tender and really delicious. The only bad comment I can make about the place is that the person (who I assume is the owner of the place) talked quite loudly on the phone for hours while customers were there, as if it was his personal office. He called out to the chef in the kitchen and criticized the way the meat was being cooked at his table right in front of the fireplace, and then I think he went to inspect the kitchen. Everyone wants to improve the quality of their place, but there are things that cannot be done in front of customers. I would not want to see them criticize their staff and I would not want to listen to their personal problems for hours.

The waiters are very rude and scolding, and the meat is very oily and angry. Eat somewhere else. It's not worth it.

Very good food, but horrible service. There were literally people who came in and out to try to sell flowers people inside the restaurant flowers. This ruined the mood. The waiter did not care about our group and they did not care about us. He ignored my group several times when we called to order food. The food and dessert took ages to arrive.

Everything was so beautiful! Both the staff, the food and the ambiance are perfect... I definitely recommend it.

I understand not being able to make Iskender sauce and butter, but the quality of döner and pita is so poor and worth 20 Euros…

Terrible service but OK food. The waiters are indifferent and not at all service minded, we had a bad experience.

It used to be better. It's a shame that quality has deteriorated.

The tripe soup is really tasty, Dürüm is good. However, the portions are a bit small for the price. When you ask for an invoice you get an old one that isn't quite right and the rest is added up. The toilets are miserable and a pretension.

The best lahmacun I've had in a long time. The place is very clean, the service quality is very good and the atmosphere is great. Thank you also for the tea treats. I recommend it to everyone who misses Turkish cuisine.

The mixed grill platter was a dream. The meat is tender and well seasoned, not too much, not too little. The staff professional, courteous and very polite. Very cozy and a very hearty atmosphere.

I ordered a mixed grill plate and lahmacun. The food was very tasty. Normally lahmacun doesn't taste that tasty in restaurants, I think homemade ones are much better, but I liked them at Hasır Ocakbaşı, they tasted good.

I ate for the first time this week. It was something wow!!! We will definitely be back soon.

The food is really good. The chicken was great Seasoned and deliciously grilled. The service was a bit rough but the shop was also very busy, which speaks for itself! The prices are high, but the seating is also very comfortable! I can't understand some of the bad reviews here. I've been here several times and have eaten well every time.

Katmer cok lezzetliydi, servis güleryüzlü. Ahmet bey'e tesekkürler. Definitely try Katmer :) Service is also very friendly, especially Ahmet bey.

Dear Hasir officials, When are you planning to have this ventilation done?!?! You are constantly losing your customers like us. It does not suit you to have them eat under smoke. I give 5 stars to your employees and food, but zero to your boss. I hope you can solve this problem that has been going on for months. ..

the service is very fast. The doner kebab is very delicious and the portion is very filling.

Was there today and everything was great. Doner kebab very tasty and service friendly. Just a little expensive at €7.50 but still a recommendation.

The atmosphere and food were nice, but the waiters were a bit sullen. We ordered lahmacun, lentil and tripe soup. All were delicious. There are 3 restaurants side by side and facing each other. One had doner kebabs (7.5€), the other had hamburgers, and the restaurant we went to had kebabs and stews.

Merhabalar, akşam yemeği için geldim. Sıcacık ortamı, Türkiyeyi aratmayan lezzeti ile görmeniz gereken bir yer. Et kalitesi gercekten harıkaydı. Garsonlara cok tesekkür ederım. Kesınlıkle tekrar gelecegım

The food is very good, although the meat dishes have little meat and a somewhat high price for the portion.

The service was really great, very attentive, very friendly, helpful, top service:) Ambiance very elegant and beautiful :) Food tasted good :) The portion was small in my opinion, but the quality was really good 👍

The food is excellent and the quality justifies the slightly higher prices. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the atmosphere is pleasant. The service was good, although the smoke from the grill was a bit annoying in some areas. Nevertheless, it is an experience that is worth it.

It is always a pleasure to eat at Hasir, very polite and professional service, the kebab is made in-house. It's rare to have food without colorings and preservatives. Very happy to recommend.

I travel around a lot and try kebabs everywhere in Germany. I've eaten them all. But this kebab is really just pure enjoyment of meat. Sauce is definitely unnecessary here.

The doner kebab was great. I recommend it.

Wrong food arrived and the right one wasn't served. A waiter who had nothing to do with our orders wanted tips from everyone and asked for his tip. He said the price of our order was for the boss and then he asked where his money went. That was our only interaction with him. We would have tipped him like that, but collecting something from everyone is really cheeky, especially without service. Totally disappointed

We were there yesterday and wanted to try the lunch menu. There was Lamhaxe for €13.50 without tea. We were only offered the normal menu. We only received the lunch menu when asked. There was also what was written on the board. Unfortunately the lamb knuckle didn't taste good at all (cold and no longer fresh). The rice portion is as small as if it were weighed on a gold scale! You didn't feel welcome! If you're looking for bland food in Berlin, you've come to the right place... we certainly don't go there anymore.

I was only there for a short time and had a tripe soup with homemade bread as a side dish and a small plate of kebab. Hardworking and friendly staff, the food was great, meat was of great quality. Can only recommend.

Dirty restaurant. Extremely unfriendly staff and poor quality. Definitely overpriced. There are much better things in the neighborhood. The room was too warm and too noisy and it was a relief to leave it.

Adana kebab was great, but I would like to say that the prices were a little expensive...

Very pleasant. Especially Hayriye and Erol (I hope I remembered their names correctly) were very friendly. They always have a smile when serving you. We were very satisfied.

It was OK. You can't order a kebab inside, you have to order outside and then you take it to the table and the waiters don't bring it to you, not good service.

We had a kebab for €7.50 and wanted another lahmacun. It said that they only come in portions, so 3 pieces for 12€. The kebab has nothing to do with a Berlin kebab and minced meat in Lahmacun is extremely overly spicy. There was more seasoning than minced meat

Food was good, we tried Soup and Döner. The waiter's handling of the customers was bad. It's like being forced to work. Even though we specifically mentioned the contents of the wrap, my friend's wrap came to me and mine came to him. The problem was that I realized after eating it because the wraps were closed. The toilet could be cleaner. This is a how old business it is, so one expects a proper cleanliness. Also, when it comes to the doner kebab, it was good but a little oily. People who already know it come, but those who come should take it into consideration.

Food was lukewarm, the bread came to me, wondering if it was hard from yesterday, then I received a glass of tea and 3 euros extra money for the tea. How outrageous. It was the first time I've experienced something like that, paying money for tea. Although we complained about the 3 euros for the tea, we got it back We were there for the first and last time.....

I grew up in Berlin and knew the shop before the area was gentrified. Every time visitors came to Berlin for the first time, I took them to Hasır so that they could try the most delicious Berlin kebab. That was the case until a few years ago. Visitors came again recently and I wanted them to get to know the best Berlin kebab. Previously I looked at the latest reviews here but most of them were negative. However, I didn't want to let this affect me because I had always been satisfied for decades. So we went. The store was packed, but we still waited for a spot because I was convinced it would be worth it. Unfortunately I have to say that I agree with most of the negative comments about the service. The employees are completely overwhelmed by all the hustle and bustle. Once we sat down, no one came to take our order for half an hour. When we wanted to order something to drink they said the till was broken and they couldn't take an order. When we thought we would leave, we suddenly said: “Okay, then I’ll take your order!” However, my visitors were so dissatisfied that they were determined to get up and leave. So they left while I continued to stand in the long line outside to get kebab - I was still convinced it would be good. I then ordered the kebabs and tried them at home after a ten-minute drive, still warm and fresh. But the first and the next bites were a big disappointment. It certainly doesn't have the same taste as it did a year or two ago. The meat was too hard, you could hardly chew it. The bread was old and the sauce had a strange aftertaste - also not fresh. Here I have to agree with the bad comments about the food. It was a very big disappointment for me because, as I said, I was always very satisfied. The store really isn't what it used to be. Very sad. Better go to Hacı Baba or another store. Unfortunately, every other kebab shop is actually better.

They said there is a problem with the doner kebab, we cannot serve it because it is not cooked, but if you want, we can serve it with bread. When we wanted a doner kebab with bread, they told us that we had to get up, wait in line outside and buy it ourselves. We bought three doner kebabs in total. All three of them were the most disgusting doner kebab I have ever eaten. We had to remove the meat from it. It was not really cooked and was not even chewable. When we finally told them we gave up on eating, they just said that's what happens sometimes, and let it go. The strange thing is that after saying that the doner kebab is not cooked, they don't want to serve it as a service but instead want to serve it as a sandwich, and they say that the customer has to go and buy the doner kebabs themselves and serve it to other tables themselves.

We really liked the atmosphere. We were served quickly and friendly. The food was very good. Would love to come back.

I liked it very much it was very nice

We went there with full confidence, but were very disappointed. First we were ignored, no one came to take our order, then we were forgotten. We waited 45 minutes for our food only to hear that our order wasn't taken at all. Left the store straight away. I'm very disappointed. :(

The food doesn't taste good at all, either we had bad luck today or the food just isn't tasty

Unfriendly and unmotivated service. The food was below average. The ayran was rancid and went back. Still, they wanted to settle accounts with him. How much disinterest you have to have in your own business to allow something like that! A very well-known restaurant in Berlin, which unfortunately doesn't live up to its reputation.

We started the meal with a trio of lahmacun and mixed grill. We can say that it is the best lahmacun we have eaten in Germany, but we expected a slightly larger single mixed grill portion. While we were there, we ate at Ali Nazik and it was very successful. Carrot slice baklava was average, served with clotted cream. The place can be crowded in the evening, but it was above our expectations. The employees are a little tired... the place is busy There is no Turkish tea, but Turkish coffee accompanied the dessert. Pov.: THERE IS RAKI (we were surprised but great news)

The waiters spend the day arguing, a painful service, and it is not cheap and it is not something that is worth it. go somewhere else

Good food quality and plenty of choices but a bit pricey

The employees were extremely rude, took the wrong order and scolded us. It was my first and last visit. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

I ate an Iskender kebab here and the meat was not normal, it was spoiled. When I went home in the evening, I realized that I was poisoned and vomited all night long.

After we ate our evening meal here, everyone in the group felt sick. The meat was definitely not normal and therefore no one could finish her food. The night after was quite a long time on the toilet as we all suffered severe stomach pains and nausea.

The prices are very high and the taste is bad

It was a place that I always heard was praised, but the reality was not like that. The first time the employees saw us enter the restaurant, they looked at our faces and took care of other things. It shouldn't be this hard to take care of the newcomer and seat him at an empty table. Before touching on the food, I would like to point out that there is chaos inside, the employees work by scolding each other, it is difficult to understand. It's like there is no system. After the food arrived, they thought of opening the service by bringing plates, forks, etc. For food we ordered lahmacun, adana and lamb sis. It is difficult to find lahmacun of this quality even in Turkey. Lamb was much better compared to Adana. It would be better if Adana was not preferred. The portions were also small compared to a normal kebab portion. But in a way I didn't understand, they brought me salad and bread after I finished my meal. It would be logical to bring it before or during the meal. In summary, was it an enjoyable meal? In terms of atmosphere, no. In terms of taste, it is ordinary.

There are 2 businesses with Hasır signs, this one is the Ocakbasi one on the corner, we sat here by mistake. Our target was the older one, the owners must be the same, but we asked for doner kebabs and he said they didn't have any, he said they had Turkish delight Iskender. I think he should have realized that we were wrong, he could have said, "You should go to the place next door." Anyway, we ate Iskender, no greens, salad etc. The taste is average, it is made from beef tenderloin, but 28.90 Euros for 200 grams is too high, 2 Iskender, 1 turnip (turnip is very bad) 1 coke; We paid 65 Euros. We left the place, and when we saw Hasır Döner next door, we realized we had made a mistake. Don't fall like me. You will see that the place in the corner is empty, the one inside is full… It is expensive compared to the German average, the decor is better, the taste is average; It's even more expensive than Turkey😉

Staff is very unfriendly, their concept makes no sense, there are 2 restaurants next to each other, one sells kebab and the other sells grilled meat, we wanted to eat grilled plates and the children wanted to eat kebab, unfortunately we couldn't order this concert
