Kebab House KURTULAN in Hamburg

Best kebab in Hamburg!! It takes an extra 30 minutes each time to arrive. It's worth it

Absolutely not justified! A small bun for a doner kebab is, in my opinion, completely overpriced. The meat should definitely be sliced ​​thinner. The flavor is somewhat compromised if you expect a real doner kebab. For me, it's more like a bun with goulash and salad.

A must for kebab fans! Probably the best kebab I've eaten in the last 20 YEARS!

The best kebab in Hamburg for sure. I've eaten kebab in many places and never had anything as good as here at Kurtulan. Really only the best!!!

The best kebab, top recommendation kebab man very warmly, everything fresh and the bread is homemade

Very rude owner, food was mediocre

The kebab is more expensive but very tasty. Is worth the money.

In my opinion, not a real kebab. Meat too fatty and fried, I'm talking about veal meat. No real sauces and salad. But the kebab man is super friendly and does his job with passion and love

Bad meat only gave me a stomach ache and diarrhea thanks

Very good meat but difficult to park...

The seller puts you in a really good mood 💪🏼💯

The alleged veal is stretched with mince. You do this to save costs, but with us you make it even more expensive! I always thought the Turks were proud of their food, like the Italians for example, but in Hamburg there are only three or four shops left where the kebab is not made with minced meat (Bree!) and where the kebab still tastes like it did in childhood. But you can throw the rest in the trash, just like the shop here! Simply embarrassing and money-hungry, the quality and taste is absolutely not important, but rather what was ripped off in the end!

By far the best kebab I've eaten in many years!

The best kebab I've ever eaten! Guys, the kebab here is not exaggerated at all. We tried lamb and chicken and can recommend both, but the lamb is simply brilliant! The owner is very knowledgeable about his craft and is super nice. Feel free to come over!

Ate at 5 p.m. and just spent time in the toilet from 3 a.m. onwards, awesome. I bought 1 kebab + 1 Dürüm and wanted to eat the Dürüm for lunch today. With Ayran that was over 22 euros for diarrhea. Cool Can it also confirm that already cut meat is simply stored in a metal bowl next to the grill and then used... Service is very nice but that doesn't help...

A must for every kebab lover! Quality is still important here. Both the chicken and the lamb are super tasty and are grilled to perfection and served in a crusty bread. The side dishes and the homemade sauce complete the unforgettable taste experience. I would also like to emphasize the warm nature of the owner. Really a great guy! Greetings from southern Hesse

Best kebab in Hamburg, without question!

Don't understand all the good reviews, kebab ended up in the trash can, 70% parsley and cabbage 30% meat which tasted like liver and a lot like blood plus strong tzatziki sauce with extra garlic.

The best kebab I've ever eaten! Dear Sir! I recommend it wholeheartedly! ♥️ Tessekur Abi 😅💔

The kebab is not fresh. Half thrown away. Unfortunately the meat is not fresh. The seller mixes it with the old meat from the day before. This has to be thrown away. But it is constantly mixed into the kebab. You get poisoning from it. It's a case for the health department. For 9.50 euros it's not worth the money.

A real Istanbul style kebab with real meat and doner kebab coating. Chef's Kiss

Best kebab in Hamburg! Very nice service. The meat is super tasty, be it chicken, veal or lamb. It's especially worth coming by on Tuesdays or Thursdays on lamb days. The salad is also very fresh and makes a very tasty combination in the kebab.

Very tasty falafel sandwich. It tastes different than all the others. Lemon in a salad brings freshness. Sauce is homemade. Owner extremely friendly.

Thank you very much for your hard work, the food is very delicious 👍

Friday, January 17th, 2025 12:00 p.m. Attention, he has sliced ​​meat from the day before in a large aluminum bowl. Directly under the meat on the skewer, you can taste it immediately that it is not fresh and you can see it too. Now he's starting to stretch the unsold meat from the previous day with the fresh meat the next day. I'll report this to the health department so that you never do anything like that again. Make sure everyone in the aluminum tray has meat for about 15-20 kebab blender three kebabs that went straight into the trash. Inedible and no, it's not pre-cut meat that was cut half an hour or 5 minutes or 10 minutes ago. That's what he does too pre-cut if he has sold the meat from the previous day

He sells meat from the day before!!

The perfect kebab. The best I have eaten in Germany and Turkey. Respect for the Usta

Thank you for the good food. Thanks for the great conversations. Good quality has its price. Many greetings from Ulm

It was perfect, very nice doner kebab, I recommend it 😊

I felt sick. I suspect they use stale meat

World's best kebab... No ifs and buts!!!

Hello, I am a native of Hamburg and have eaten kebab all over Germany, BUT this kebab and this service is on a completely different level. I am so happy that I took the steps to the store back then. It was just before Christmas and the last day before the company vacation. I will definitely come back more often in 2025. Have a good new year and rest well!

Thank you very much for serving me such a delicious doner kebab.

It was the most delicious doner kebab I have ever eaten.. Thank you..

Best kebab, unfortunately no seating

I was full of anticipation because this kebab is so famous. Unfortunately, he was just okay and average. There are better ones. It was a little different because it had the spice (lemon?) on it, but I wouldn't buy it again. However, the seller is very nice.

9.50 for a kebab but you definitely can't have a bag. Apparently you have to stand there on the footpath in the dark, 5 degrees and wind and eat or wash the sauce off your entire backpack at home. Neither environmentally friendly nor economical.

Best kebab in Hamburg and Germany! The Lord is always warm and friendly! Real and best meat - no minced meat shit! Fresh and delicious ingredients! Everything homemade! Always my pleasure! See you soon

Super tasty kebab! Above all, lamb is served two days a week. The meat is of great quality, not pressed meat, but real meat! I've been visiting Faruk regularly for years, he's a great person. His tasting bites are great, his salad mixes are fresh! Highly recommended. I have now moved away from Hamburg and will miss him!

Very nice seller and the kebab tastes really good. I haven't eaten something like that in a long time.

Hamburg's "best" kebab didn't blow me away. There are far better ones in Pott and Rhineland, but it's a matter of taste and so on. I only found the chicken meat too salty, otherwise stable 8/10. Nice graduate who serves one!

Very good kebab and even better/friendlier kebab man!

This is the best kebab you will ever have.

By far the best kebab I've eaten in Hamburg. I ordered the lamb kebab, it was super filling and the boss alone deserves 100 stars. He gave me sweet chicken to try and I was just as excited about it. I can really only recommend it, I don't understand the negative reviews. I would just be prepared for not being able to find a parking space. But it has nothing to do with the kebab, staff or taste :).

Doner, kebab, durim, first class. I haven't eaten better meat in a long time. We ate there three days in a row and it's delicious. The owner is very friendly, ready to talk and always with a smile. I will definitely come back again.

The kebab was definitely good but unfortunately not the best I've eaten so far. Still worth a trip!

A very good kebab for Hamburg standards. Unfortunately, much too expensive.

Best kebab in Hamburg, nicest service I've ever seen. The meat is an A+

I couldn't leave Germany without trying some doner and I was very lucky to find this place. I had the lamb which was a generous serving of very tender meat with salad that felt a bit more sophisticated than what we get here in the UK. The pita was an upgrade too. The owner is an absolute star and I hope to return for more of his food. Cash only but there is a cashpoint at the garage opposite.

Delicious kebab, not exactly cheap

Very very strong kebab. €9.5 for chicken and €10.5 for lamb. I ate lamb for the first time in a kebab. Personally, I don't like the taste of lamb in kebab, but you can rarely taste it because it is heavily seasoned. The kebab man does it with love. You notice that. He puts effort into every kebab and doesn't just throw it away. Unfortunately there is no seating inside. Bread, vegetables and meat and sauce are all high quality. When you have to shell out €8 for a standard kebab. Then starting at 9.50 is mega fair. If you're a kebab fan, you should definitely have been here!

I don't know if it's the best kebab in Hamburg (probably so), but in any case it was the best kebab I've ever eaten. I'm very picky when it comes to meat, so I usually eat vegetarian versions, but here I chose the kebab with chicken and didn't regret it. Simply sooooo delicious!!!! And the employee was very friendly, you could tell that he enjoyed his work.

I ordered a mixed kebab and paid an extra charge. In the end I paid a whole €11 for a kebab dürüm. That's a high price for a kebab, but when I started eating I realized that there was hardly any meat in it and I was almost only eating salad. When I got to the halfway point and couldn't take it anymore, I told the seller: "There's very little meat in it and I paid an extra €11 for it." I then got a cheeky answer: "Then order the next one "Sometimes extra with a lot of meat." I didn't want any extra meat, I just wanted a kebab with a normal amount of meat. An overpriced place that is not worth the value for money nor does it provide good customer support. Nothing special, a kebab like any other.👎

Food was very good. The store looks more like a 5-6 than a grade. No seating inside, two old benches to sit outside. The kebab is really tasty but I could have eaten two as they are unfortunately a bit small. The next problem is the price of €9.50 is completely excessive.

I am from Frankfurt am Main and was in Hamburg for the first time. I really wanted to try the most delicious kebab from Hamburg, many people recommended Kurtulan to me (some food bloggers were also very satisfied). The kebab was simply delicious, which is exactly how a kebab should taste (you should eat lamb kebab right there as it tastes best warm) and the kebab master was also very friendly. When I'm back in Hamburg I'll definitely come by again. LG Aykut from Ffm

Difficult to evaluate. Sales out the window, there are 4 small beer benches outside. Owner very nice at the beginning - until payment. Dürüm costs 9.90 euros, which is not a small amount. All dishes with lamb (only available on Tuesdays and Thursdays) cost 1 euro extra (separate sign 2 meters next to the price board). Since there wasn't much lamb left, we got half/half lamb/chicken - you can live with that. So 50 percent lamb, 100 percent surcharge: 1 euro. I wanted to pay half the surcharge for half the lamb, but the seller became uncomfortable. He explained that the (full) surcharge is always due as soon as Lamm is even included. According to this logic, the full surcharge for a Dürüm with 10 grams of lamb and 190 grams of chicken. He did not respond to this argument and simply repeated several times that the surcharge for lamb was always due. In the end he was stubborn and I didn't have to pay any more surcharge. It's a shame, because it tastes good, but I don't like being made fun of - it's not about a euro, it's about the principle. If he does this all day... but that's just speculation.

Arrived here hungry. Only sales from the window, no seating inside or outside. After looking at the price board, another look... it actually said €9.50 for a mini kebab... No thanks. It's just outrageous to quote such a price.

I can absolutely recommend it. The kebab is made with real meat, which I found grilled very well. I was greeted warmly and the employee seemed to enjoy his job. The price may be a little higher, but it is justified.

Interesting place on the edge of the commercial area with a large Turkish community. Eating outside was ok as we had good weather. Doner kebab looks appealing, but veal had a lot of cartilage. Handling the kebab is a bit difficult, also because the kebab is on a napkin. Price very high: 9.50. Conclusion: It's an experience the first time, but I wouldn't go there again.

A must for every visit to Hamburg, delicious

Pure kebab, away from fancy sauces. Anyone who knows traditional kebab knows that it is offered here in the best form. We'd love to come back

The first kebab that I really enjoyed here in the north, but this shop looks really inconspicuously holy So what do we learn from this? The good stores that have quality to offer don't always have to look good from the outside and they don't have to be advertised on Instagram or other platforms

I really enjoyed being there and the kebab was one of the best. But unfortunately the taste has deteriorated. Hopefully things will rise again! 🍀

Incredible Döner, just what you need after a long day.

I've never had such a bad kebab!! eaten. My request was a veal kebab. I was served a mixed kebab with chicken. Simply disgusting. To pay €14.50 for this, I'm speechless. Never never again!!!!! Disgusting!!!!

Best kebab I've eaten in Hamburg so far. Even gave us some lamb to try for free. Can only be recommended

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be. The last 3-4 times the quality continues to decrease. Everything no longer tastes as fresh and tasty as it did years ago. Everything is somehow musty and old. Meat extremely fatty. Plus this absurd waiting time. 5 people in front of you and then wait easily for 30-45 minutes. The owner is still more than friendly!

Unfortunately I can't try the kebab because I'm 700 km away from Hamburg. I just watched the post about Kurtulan Döner on YouTube. It's not just the kebab that looks very, very tasty, but I also find the way the owner treats his guests with respect very exemplary! Very open-minded, tolerant, and a big heart. Many greetings from Bavaria.

The kebab is mentally ill. Best in Germany. I have never eaten meat like this anywhere. Not even in Berlin. Unfortunately there is no seating and the queue takes a long time. But quality also has its price. Doner kebabs now cost €10.

Very, very tasty kebab, which luckily isn't a minced meat skewer. One of the few very good kebabs in Hamburg.

Spectacular lamb kebab! Insanely nice guy. Just friendly to everyone. Great.

So for 7€ you really can't say anything! Bread, meat and sauce are delicious! Music is too loud and it's a shame that you can't sit down anywhere. I would buy kebab again :) 🥙🥙

Real lamb skewer kebab, very spicy. Rarely had a better one. Also very nice man behind the counter! Umbrellas and more seating outside would be really great. But that's the concept, and it's completely fine.

Street sales through the window - no possibility to eat comfortably on site. Service extremely friendly, but only cash payment. Main problem: dry meat, Dürum wrap like cardboard, and the rest is standard salad and ready-made sauce. Very high prices for what is on offer

What you hear and what you read here is true, this is by far the best kebab in Hamburg and the best kebab I have eaten in a long time. Wow.

I have no idea how you get the best kebab in town, but this one is definitely not it. 9.50 euros for cartilage meat that was really heavy in the stomach. Bread, salad and sauce were just standard, nothing special here. No Ezme.

Mediocre kebab, with tough and somewhat dry meat. Exorbitant prices for that.

Expensive but worth every cent!

Unfortunately a bit overpriced and hardly sufficient quality. The gentleman also used a different sauce that I didn't order. You couldn't sit in it either. At least the gentleman was friendly.

“Best kebab in town!” I have rarely eaten such a delicious kebab! The meat was perfectly seasoned and juicy, the bread was nice and crispy, and the fresh ingredients gave the whole thing a wonderful freshness. Particularly noteworthy are the homemade sauces – simply unbeatable! The owner was also friendly and precise. I will definitely come back and can only recommend this shop to everyone!

Stedet virker ved første øjekast som et helt normalt döner sted, men det smagte helt fantastisk. Vi var mega overraskede. De laver deres eget kebab spyd og det kunne virkeligt smages.

Are you ready for a toxic relationship with a kebab shop? Then you've come to the right place. This kebab shop treats you badly. He enjoys watching you suffer because he knows you'll come back anyway. You will without a doubt get the best kebab in Hamburg here. The quality of the meat, the bread and the sauces and the care taken in their preparation cannot be found anywhere else in Hamburg. Even the service is good, you are served friendly and at a reasonable pace. But the external circumstances? It's better to bring weatherproof clothing, because there is no restaurant in the sense. The shop consists of a window to the outside and a long line of hungry customers. Once you have received your delicious kebab, you have to defend it against wind and weather, against pigeons, wasps and seagulls, all while standing on the open road. Do you want a drink with your meal? Have fun juggling, unless you happen to have three arms. Did you soil yourself while eating the kebab? Bad luck, you can wash yourself at home. And yet you are in love. The lows make the highs seem much louder! You won't be able to get out of this story any time soon. Your friends are already worried, but you know: No other kebab can give you what he gives you.

I was here yesterday with my wife to try the *best* kebab in town. When we arrived, a corner shop with window sales was waiting for us. A nice older gentleman welcomed us in a friendly manner. The kebab costs 9.50 but is prepared in a special way. That's how it's advertised...I've never seen or tasted anything like it. Tastes different. Personally, the 9.50 is too much for me for some salad with meat. There is no seating to linger here. There are also no paper bags or aluminum foil. The kebab is served with a napkin, which I find problematic, because the napkin and the bread turn into a napkin kebab mass during the consumption process.

Very tasty kebab, homemade bread and really filled with meat, vegetables, herbs,... Rarely have I had such a good kebab! Price-performance ratio is also great. The owner was very friendly!

It wasn't that special, just normal kebab.

Doner kebab tastes very good, something different, not a run-of-the-mill kebab. The service was also very friendly, I will definitely come back.

Lamb rubbery. Dripping with fat. Bread falling apart. Salad combination doesn't fit at all. Sauces are watered down and then overpriced. Never again!!!!!

One of the best kebabs in Hamburg is sold at the window. The ingredients are always fresh and the bread impresses with its crispiness. The ambience is debatable, but selling at the window definitely has its charm. All in all I was very at peace.

It's always worth coming for the top meat, yaprak kebab at its best

Zero lamb taste in the lamb.........

Nice employee, fast service Mega delicious kebab, juicy meat and crispy bread. Unfortunately no seating on site!

Better than anything I’ve had in Berlin

The kebab was really very tasty. Crispy bread and delicious meat. We recommend.

Really super tasty 👍👍👍 And a very nice kebab man. I will definitely come back!

Unfortunately only cash payment is possible. Super nice guy, does the whole thing by himself. The best kebab I've ever eaten so far. Great salad, whole pepperoni. Tuesday and Thursday there is lamb. However, sometimes you have to wait in line for a long time because it is very popular in the neighborhood.

Best kebab we have ever eaten. 🎉

Very unfriendly service after I asked if he could pack the Dürüm for me to take home. Disparaging comments that I wanted it packed up now and that he would have preferred to say “close the shop” rather than serve me. Skewer didn't look fresh at all either. Will not be coming back for the treatment and then the prices! Avoid this store!

Absolutely great food, thank you boss. Greetings from Switzerland 😎

I didn't dare eat something here. The hygiene really leaves a lot to be desired, flies everywhere, even on the salads! The bowl for the meat looked like it had been used for a week, with leftover food and sauce splatters everywhere. And there's only one employee in the store, so it's difficult to clean up every now and then. It's a shame, I would have liked to try the kebab, but just looking at it gave me a stomach ache.

A solid kebab but not worth 10 euros. Service and friendliness 12/10
