Kebab House KURTULAN in Hamburg

- Very tasty - Unfortunately, they changed the salad (it used to have mint?!?)

Things were better before, but I think it's overpriced.

The staff is very friendly and the food is also very good the prices are a bit expensive but it tastes good unfortunately you can't eat there which is a pity but I can recommend it but it is not cheap anywhere these days but good

This is what a döner should be like

Great owner, but I didn't think the kebab was particularly special.

I ate the doner kebab with chicken and although I didn't like the coriander in this case I found it pleasant. For a normal person the portion is more than enough but I'm a beast from Satan and so next time I'll take two.

Fantastic kebab, rich, abundant and tasty at a good price.

Super good and super delicious! It's a shame it's only available through window sales, but that's exactly why it's a one-man shop, and the owner makes every kebab himself...with love. Be sure to order the original version; it doesn't come with sauce, but it's so juicy that it tastes unbelievably good :)

He focused on the essentials, no frills. Just delicious meat, not over-seasoned, homemade doner meat, and you can taste it. Both the lamb and chicken are outstanding. Adanali

Only 2 stars. Because the prices are fictitious. The bread was very, very dry. One employee in a long queue. 2 doner kebabs for €21 were too expensive.

I'm traveling on business and have eaten kebabs everywhere, but this kebab in Hamburg, Germany, is the best kebab in the world for me!

A truly delicious kebab. No rotisserie-style spit-style döner. Very friendly service. The line of people shows that the food is delicious.

I like kebabs. This guy does a great job for €10. At first, the bread looked so small, but he opened the bag wide, put the meat in, topped it with salad and sauce, then more meat on top, added a little spice, and put in a fork. I wouldn't have been able to eat it without a fork. The bread was sliced ​​so well and the sauces were so thick that nothing dripped or seeped through. Absolutely top-notch and worth the wait. The only thing missing is seating or a place to stand; you're practically being served on the street.

Very friendly owner and really delicious kebabs! Takeout only. There are two small beer benches in front of the establishment.

Simply delicious... no frills. Ordered a kebab with veal... unfortunately, I didn't take a photo. Hopefully, the taste stays the same... ✌🏼Window sales are also cool.

Overall, the kebab was very poor. They don't take cards there. The tomato and everything else were a disappointment. The meat was a bit runny. I was fooled by online reviews again.

Best Kebab in Europe! Easy to communicate as we speak English

Hand-stitched skewers and homemade bread. Top-quality meat, and more than friendly service.

Takeaway only, very poor packaging, unfortunately the meat didn't taste good, and the bread was burnt... Very expensive for the price. The seller was nice, but the food didn't taste good at all.

In my opinion, one of the best kebabs in the Hamburg area. The meat is delicious and juicy, and the bread is truly delicious. The kebab maker, Abi, is also a very nice man, with a beaming smile and a friendly demeanor. I'd definitely order again!

never eat another kebab again, I love you kurtulan abi

Read about the Kebap online and wanted to give it a try. I had the chicken doner and it was superb. A bit different to what you usually get. Especially the parsley made the difference. The service was a bit slow, but it was still worth the wait.

I don't understand why this place is so popular. The lamb kebab is okay, but the owner is very disorganized. The food is standard but too expensive, and there's really nothing special about it.

Wow! Everything's just right here! The tastiest kebab I've ever eaten. So, Holle's product is great, but this is in a whole different league! A kebab virtuoso who serves everyone with a smile and simply delivers kebabs from the board. There's nothing to complain about here. 12/10 for the whole thing!

Pictures speak louder than words! 💯/💯 Best in town!!

Please arrive early. The kebab is very tasty, but you won't get the best meat near the end. Still, highly recommended, and the food is great.

Of course, tastes always differ, but for me, this is the best kebab in Hamburg. The chicken, in particular, is extremely delicious. The bread is nice and crispy, and the salad is always fresh. I can't comment on the sauces because I always eat without them. However, the people I've been with are very happy with them, too. It's a simple shop, without a lot of bells and whistles. It doesn't advertise like all the Instagram kebabs, but it doesn't need to. They don't stand a chance against this kebab. Tip: Get a kebab right when the shop opens. The taste is even better than usual.

We finally managed to try the lamb doner kebab (€9.50). It was tasty, but didn't exactly blow us away. The bread was very crispy, but unfortunately, it broke a bit at the end. The meat had a good flavor and a good color. The salad was a mix of iceberg lettuce, parsley, and tomatoes, with some tzatziki and spicy seasoning. There are only two small benches in front of the shop, and you can't go inside. Sales are only made from the window.

An awning or something similar for shelter in rainy weather would be nice. Slight intolerance due to the chili contaminated food, even though I ordered "non-spicy."

Very good kebab and very nice service!

Food: Awesome steak doner kebab where the meat is the focus, perfectly complementing it but not overpowering it. Service: The staff is very friendly and takes the appropriate time and attention to each order and each customer. Atmosphere: The kebab shop is located on a street corner, and customer interaction takes place through a window. Accordingly, you get a more "traditional kebab experience," which is by no means a negative, but rather exudes authenticity. There are also fewer seating options. Conclusion; TLDR: A kebab shop with its own authentic character, a great staff, and a kebab that has been perfected in its own way, with the meat at the center.

The lamb doner on Tuesdays and Thursdays is not only delicious, but also made with carefully selected ingredients. Be sure to order the doner with lamb and a little pul biber. You'll get the best doner from the friendliest vendor in Hamburg. The bread is filled to the brim with delicious ingredients, but experienced eaters should order the doner without a fork ;)

a majestic kebab, served by a very friendly person

I noticed it through all the good reviews and TikTok videos, and since I've just moved to Eimsbüttel, I was urgently looking for a great kebab 🥙 shop 🏬 and I have to say, from the first hello to the goodbye 👋🏼 everything was great. The gentleman was extremely friendly. Choice of meat, either veal or chicken 🍗. I ordered two kebabs 🥙 to take away and I have to say: I was not disappointed, the taste 🤤 amazing 💣 completely different to the standard, run-of-the-mill kebabs 🥙 everywhere, mega 👌🏼👌🏼 I'll definitely be 💯 back! The meat is super juicy and the salad is amazing 👍🏼 the whole combo is perfect 👍🏼 the only thing that bothers me a bit is that it's not open on weekends 😫 but from what I've heard, the best does everything on their own, so it's understandable that they need peace and quiet!! I'll definitely be back 😎 *** Update 04.08.2025 *** A little update to the review, I've been there a few times now and I have to say wowwww, it's still extremely friendly, the quality hasn't diminished, the doner kebab 🥙 and Dürum are amazing 🤩 you have a new regular customer, thank you 🙏 Abi for the awesome doner kebab 🥙 !!

The doner is just ok. Nothing extraordinary. Very salty. No service. Only 3 tissues, and very oily. So, it is okay to eat, but not a pleasant atmosphere. A lot of quee, because it's a one man shop. Very relentless, doesn't worth your time.

The best döner in Hamburg and my favorite here is the special mutton döner, but the other meat döners are also no less delicious. If anyone wants to try mutton döner, this is the right place.

Im visiting Hamburg and during my stay in was at Ibis hotel in Wandsbek, While there were bunch of doner places near there, and after trying few of them, none of them really hit the spot. So I decided to venture out and fine a good doner place, and that how I stumbled here, After 40 min ride on S1, and a shirt walk you get to this hole in the wall place that pretty much serve only doner. When I tried to order they said its chicken and beef combined, but I asked if they cold only put the beef and they agreed. My my did this doner hit the spot or what.. idk if it was the journey here or they were that good, but definitely one of the better doners I have had in Hamburg. If you are in the city, do take some time out of your day to give them a try. You wont be disappointed. And their spicy sauce was on point..

I found this place by chance while passing by, and I’m so glad I did! The owner is super friendly, the portions are generous, and everything tastes amazing. From now on, this will be my go-to spot whenever I’m craving a delicious döner. Just a heads-up — it’s cash only, so make sure to bring some with you!

Very good kebab. One of my top 10. Very, very nice chef, generous portions.

We were on a short break in Hamburg and stayed at the B&B. We only found it through Google Maps. It was super delicious! And the owner is very nice!

I just wanted a doner kebab with herb sauce for my daughter. They added chili to it. When I asked for a new one, they returned my money and sent me away. I've never seen such unfriendly staff before.

Not so well cooked, chef not so nice

The best döner I've ever tasted 👍🏻😊

The food is more of a takeaway or eat-in option. The doner kebab tastes super! At €9.50, it's a bit on the expensive side for a doner kebab, but the service is top-notch! The doner kebab vendor is a one-man show, takes his time with each kebab, and is always super friendly! Highly recommended!

I can't understand the hype surrounding this shop, no matter how hard I try. The salesperson was friendly, but his handling of the order seemed unprofessional and lacked commercial foresight. By 7:00 p.m., the veal skewer was almost done – even though the shop's opening hours are stated as being open until 8:00 p.m. I wanted to order three durum to go, whereupon the salesperson told me that he would have to make do with the remaining veal until the evening. He suggested mixing veal and chicken. But since we specifically didn't want a mix, I offered to just take two durum with veal instead. He persisted, saying, "I also have to serve the customers behind you." To cut the discussion short, I said, "Okay, then I'll just have one durum – but with veal, please." He then said, "I'll make you a mini-dürüm," and that's exactly what I got: a small portion of meat, overloaded with salad, and unfortunately, the taste was disappointing. I'm someone who enjoys good food and is willing to wait and pay higher prices – as long as the taste and quality are right. In this case, however, it was simply a disappointment. I regret the 40-minute drive – especially because there are at least five places in Hamburg that taste better and are also much more customer-friendly.

Nice döner outlet - bit of a queue outside and with good reason. Worth the walk to bit of an off path location!

Delicious snack. Everything prepared a little differently.

For me the best kebab in Hamburg

Hey there... I'm reporting on my visit, which was completely spontaneous. First of all, there was a long line, and two men in front of me ordered 10 kebabs. So my question is, why don't they tell you that the meat needs to cook longer after so many? I ordered and then ate it in my car. And what do I see? Pink meat. That was the worst kebab ever.

Best kebab in Altona. The owner is super nice!

It is and remains simply the undisputed best kebab in Hamburg.

Had a lamb doner. It was really good. Best doner in Hamburg so far. Thank you for the great craftsmanship and your warm charisma! ❤️

THE BEST DONER I'VE EVER EATEN. A VERY NICE TRADESMAN. MUST STOP. GREETINGS FROM SIVAS.

Really bad: Small makeshift shutters. The seller was friendly. The bread was good, but I prefer classic flatbread. The veal was extremely tough and gristly. Some of it was rock-hard, burnt, or sliced ​​too thickly. Several times, I had pieces in my mouth that were impossible to chew. The salad was unloving. A bit of cabbage, a bit of iceberg lettuce, and parsley. The parsley was 50% coarsely chopped stalks. And for €9.50, it was a shame. It was nothing; I don't understand the hype at all.

One of the best kebabs in Hamburg. With the friendliest kebab man!

Just 1 star, how can it be rated like that? One person works alone in a shop, they don't have bags (so if you buy 10 kebabs, they just hand them to you), the meat is greasy (smells and tastes of fat)... it looks like a moving shop... no idea where the stars come from.

Very cool, authentic shop and great boss!

Our family favorite in Altona! We come to Kurtalan Döner in Altona with our family every year – and we're always completely satisfied. The meat quality is top-notch, the portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly. Cleanliness is also a top priority here. One of the best and most trustworthy kebab shops in Hamburg. Highly recommended for families!

Wow I'm impressed to still be able to get a doner kebab these days, it's really something special. I ate there two days in a row (I never do that otherwise). On Tuesday and Thursday they also serve it with lamb meat, what a treat ❤️ from now on this shop has a new regular customer when it comes to doner kebabs

One of the tastiest kebabs I've ever eaten! There's no seating inside, but there are authentic benches outside. The atmosphere is so much better. The man in the shop was so friendly and accommodating. No weird sauces or salads. Everything is simple and straightforward.

Unbelievable, just what a doner should be!!! The meat was so tender and juicy at the same time. The lamb doner was so incredibly delicious. The bread was crispy, the vegetables were fresh. I'll definitely be back!!!

Based on the good Google reviews, I searched for this 'kebab shop' and found it. Incredibly friendly service. I was then able to enjoy a truly delicious Dürum at home. It was a bit spicy, with everything. Just right. I'll definitely be back!

The best kebab in all of Hamburg. Excellent ingredients and preparation. The meat is simply fantastic! A super nice guy! Truly a different dimension than most kebab shops these days, where quality is secondary in most places. A true Hamburger goes to Kurtulan!

Everyone says it is the best kebap. For sure is the best one I have ever had 😋

Best kebab ever! Top-notch quality, everything fresh and incredibly delicious. The bread is fresh, and everything here is just perfect. Service and friendliness are top priority. We'll be back!

The best doner ever!!! Big love from Thailand

The best kebab I‘ve had in my life. I‘ve got Hähnchen Dürüm, and the Hähnchen Fleisch is very tasty. Very friendly owner.

Thank you, the best Döner I've ever eaten! Greetings from Koblenz ❤️

By far the best kebab I've had in years! And I still think so months later!

The best kebab in town! Super friendly service, the best organic meat, and everything so delicious that I go there at least once a week. Absolutely recommend it!

This is by far the second-best kebab shop I've eaten at in Hamburg. What's special about this place is that they only offer a lamb skewer alongside chicken on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the quality and flavor of the lamb is fantastic. I've only ever tasted the lamb, so I can't comment on his chicken and beef skewers. Furthermore, the owner always greets and serves you very politely. There is one drawback: the bread doesn't do the kebab justice, but overall, it's a very good kebab.

Delicious kebabs, friendly service, and top quality! Every visit is worth it. Best wishes from Bremen!

For me, this is the best kebab in Hamburg. The meat quality is second to none, and the bread is always fresh and crispy! And the chef is always in a good mood, too :-)

We went to Hamburg for the first time for a trip and immediately fell in love with this kebab! An absolute dream taste, everything was just right. Clear recommendation!

Really very strong kebab. Great meat and very tasty bread. Will come here more often in the future

That's not great as everyone writes, there are just a few shops for lunch breaks

It's been a long time since I've eaten here again and it's still one of the best kebabs in Hamburg. And with the boss you can tell that he puts his heart and soul into it. Always happy when I'm on the corner

Terribly disgusting! No recommendation, no yaprak but minced meat in veal but charging 8 euros for a kebab is an absolute disgrace. I always thought Turks were proud of their food. But you can't tell when you see what you get for your money. It's not about quality, it's just about your money, nothing else. Sad but unfortunately true!!!

Insanely delicious! Bring time! Not cheap.

Dunera with lamb is unique! For the first time in Hamburg, I ate a döner with lamb. There is always a line, but the wait is worth it!

Really the best kebab I've ever eaten. I'll tell it like it is, without the repeated recommendations from my friends, I would have continued to walk past the shop. From the outside it's absolutely inconspicuous, if not a bit "repulsive". But the quality of the ingredients and the taste of the meat are really unique!!

Very tasty and the staff is sooo nice. I hope he is rewarded for his work

Super tasty and super friendly!

I have been a customer at Kurtulan for 10 years and it is and remains simply the best kebab I have ever eaten. Both the meat kebabs and the veggie kebabs are fantastic. The price is definitely justified for the quality.

The kebab man is nice, but there was a hair and a thin piece of plastic in two kebabs that I ordered. I don't think that's necessary.

Best kebab in Hamburg! The meat here is still of really good quality. Real lamb, no minced meat or e-material mush! Simply wonderfully natural taste. Salad is chopped small, bread is crispy. The good owner is always friendly and tries hard. Every kebab is made with love. The waiting time is correspondingly longer, even a little longer depending on the queue, but in return you get love and quality! Drive here from Rissen just for this delicious kebab and the nice owner.

Best kebab I've ever eaten, awesome guy

It couldn't be worse. I couldn't even get two bites down. Children also bit it off and spat it out. Never again!

The kebab was excellent and you were treated more than kindly.

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

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

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

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 💪🏼💯
