Meister Döner Kebap in Herne

The doner kebab is the best you can get here! All in all, simply amazing!

I don't usually write negative reviews, but this experience was absolutely outrageous. We arrived yesterday shortly after 9 p.m., very hungry. According to the posted opening hours, the snack bar should have been open for another 40-50 minutes. When we arrived, we weren't greeted, spoken to, or anything at all. Instead, one employee told another in Turkish to close the door and not let anyone else in. This all happened right in front of us, without even asking what we wanted or briefly explaining the situation. The door was simply shut – even though there were at least five other customers still in line. What made it especially infuriating was that we traveled from Nuremberg (almost 500 km), solely on a recommendation, and were then treated so disrespectfully. If you want to close early or can't take any more orders, you communicate that politely. But to lock customers out without a word, even though you're officially still open, is completely unacceptable. Very disappointing. This is no way to treat guests.

You can't go wrong here, except by not coming at all! 10 out of 10! Super service, super friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious, which is why there's no photo – the food was gone before I could even say "phone." 🫡👍

I just found long hairs in my doner kebab.

Unfortunately, it's not like it used to be; the quality has declined significantly. We won't be coming here again.

Delicious doner kebab. The highlight was the meat (I had veal), which was absolutely delicious in the slightly under-toasted bread (which unfortunately tore easily). However, the overall doner kebab was somewhat disappointing due to the mediocre sauces.

Very unfriendly, they let customers go ahead of them. They don't even apologize. Not recommended.

Meister Döner is one of the best places in the area, in my opinion. The döner tastes amazing, the meat is juicy and fresh, and you can tell that quality is a priority here. I especially loved the wide variety of sauces – there's truly something for everyone. From mild to spicy, they offer it all, and each sauce has its own unique flavor, not just the same old standard sauce. There's also a great selection of side dishes. Whether you prefer the classics or want to add something different, you'll always find exactly what you're craving. The staff is incredibly friendly and always in a good mood. You immediately feel welcome and receive friendly service, even when it's busy. I'll definitely be back. It's a place where everything just clicks.

QUALITY COMPLETELY COLLAPSED! As a long-time regular customer, I am deeply disappointed. Since they've only hired new staff, the quality has become catastrophic. The doner kebab is ice cold, the meat is bone dry and tough. The sauce is tasteless and watery. I ordered it spicy, but there was no hint of spice. The salad also tastes like nothing. We used to drive a long way to get there, but that's over now. The place isn't the same as we knew it. A complete waste of time and money.

I used to eat doner kebabs there all the time. I finally tried it again. There was hardly any sauce, and the toppings were a joke. It's nothing like it used to be. For €8.50, I expect something different. I won't be coming back. There's no parking available, and eating in isn't possible.

Overpriced doner kebab that was also half empty. The taste is okay, just a regular doner kebab, nothing special. They're clearly cutting corners here.

It has a wonderful döner kebab, it is very delicious.

I loved going there as a child, but today was my last time getting a large doner kebab. The meat didn't taste good anymore; it was practically garbage. That was my last time at your place. What a shame.

We tried it today, and I hadn't imagined it would be like this: too much sauce and salad and not enough meat (the beef tastes good, but there's too little of it).

One of the best kebab shops in Herne! I've been to Meister Döner several times now and I'm always impressed. The veal-turkey mix and the beef are especially delicious, juicy, and well-seasoned. The cocktail sauce and hot sauce are perfectly balanced. The bread is always nice and crispy, too. The staff is very friendly and works quickly, even when the place is packed. The value for money is excellent. You can't go wrong here.

Very small, cramped shop, with rude and impolite customers and staff. We bought two large doner kebabs and rice and beans. It cost almost €30, which ended up in the trash. The meat was inedible, smelled bad, and was VERY greasy. There was no sign of this in the shop itself. You should know... not recommended.

You can't be so stingy with the sauce. Not recommended, as is the case with this shop.

Last year, we came unexpectedly for one of the best doner meals of my life. We came back exactly a year later, and nothing has changed, still as good as ever. Thanks to the whole team.

The worst shop unfriendly to the customers overpriced you can save your money not to be recommended

⭐ 1 star – Disappointing! I ordered a doner kebab with minimal meat and tzatziki today. But what I got was simply bad. The supposed tzatziki was only in one corner, and it wasn't real tzatziki, but some kind of thick yogurt mixture, totally lumpy and not enjoyable. If you're not putting much meat in it, you should at least put more salad in it, but the doner kebab was simply dry and tasteless. I threw it away after two bites. What a waste of food and money. I was looking forward to it all day, and in the end, it was just a flop. Now I'll have to get something else. 😡

I ordered several kebabs. The guy was downright rude and just wanted to get rid of us as quickly as possible. I had to wait a long time because of the service. Now it's just happened again. I really don't want to order from here anymore. The best thing is why they ask for every kebab if it comes with spicy sauce. None of the kebabs should come with spicy sauce. I'll tell you if I want it spicy.

Unfortunately, I have to give this bad review. I like eating meat – and not just salad, I'm no rabbit. The dürüm looked great on the order display: juicy, with plenty of meat, and freshly baked, fluffy dürüm bread – just as you'd expect. But what I got was a disappointment: a ready-made tortilla wrap with a few slices of meat and a huge pile of iceberg lettuce. (I always order my kebab with just meat and iceberg lettuce.) For €8.50, I simply expected more. The wrap was barely filled, the proportions were completely off – it just tasted like "garden." After three bites, I unfortunately had to throw it away.

Yesterday I got two doner kebab plates for €24, which was way too expensive. They were also very bad. The meat was sliced ​​very thinly, but about 3 cm wide and 15 cm long. It was like wide spaghetti. There was no flavor other than the garlic sauce. The onions were very thick. I definitely won't be going back. We had something from MC afterwards because we were hungry, but definitely not from Meister Döner again.

The food is excellent and very well-stocked. Most people order a doner kebab. They offer a variety of side dishes, as well as various cheeses and sauces. The downside is that sometimes you don't know who's serving you, and you should always keep your ears open when your order is called for processing. Manaus accepts cash; there's a change machine available.

Very tasty, very nice people. Always happy to come back ☺️

Unfortunately, we didn't like the doner kebab at all! The veal/turkey meat was very salty, and the doner kebab was soggy after a few bites. They skimped on the salad, and when we asked what sauces they offered, the only response was, "Look at the jar." That's not customer-friendly. I wouldn't recommend the doner kebab, as there are much better alternatives.

The food was very tasty, although the last time it was very cold. The service was disastrous. They only care about getting things done quickly and don't listen at all to what you want on your kebab. They ask questions and answer them themselves at the same time. I ordered two kebabs, the first without spicy sauce and what do they put on it, of course spicy sauce. The second kebab only had tomatoes and cucumber salad and what do they put on it, the whole salad. 2-3 weeks ago I ordered 6 kebabs and they wanted to serve me two at a time. I was supposed to communicate with both of them at the same time and say what was going on the kebab and then one of them got offended. As I said, the food is good but the service is very bad.

The food is okay. Sometimes the kebab tastes really good, and then there are days when I regret buying it here. But it's the best in the area.

I don't understand, I had originally marked it as one of the better kebabs, but I was already quite full and didn't plan to visit it. But I walked by and saw this huge queue, so I thought something exclusive was happening here. After 90 minutes of waiting, I got something that was rather below average and on top of that they didn't even have proper beef or lamb. The only thing that probably caused the huge queue was the price of 1€, which I still don't understand how is possible.

A superb kebab with a huge selection of meats and side dishes. This kebab is truly masterful. 🤩🤩🤩

Very tasty food, but the service this time was unfortunately disappointing. I couldn't get a chicken kebab just because a larger order of chicken was placed. Instead, I was offered only beef – essentially a 50% replacement. Even when I said I was willing to wait, I was turned away. This can't be right. In a case like this, they should either point out in advance that larger orders limit the selection for other customers, or they should refuse these orders so that the remaining customers can still get their desired food. Especially since the difference between chicken and beef is very clear. It's a shame; I've always been satisfied – even when I had to wait once. I would also like to point out: The queue should be better controlled. Sometimes people are standing right up to the exit without anyone coming in, and no one seems to care. This urgently needs to be improved, and customers should be made aware of this. Overall, very disappointing, although I've always appreciated the place.

We each ordered a medium 5-star kebab. The kebab was quite good, but not something I'd want to travel all the way from Hagen for. Unfortunately, eating it on site isn't possible due to a lack of seating.

We usually like coming to this kebab shop. But lately it's been a disaster. No proper service, everything is a mess, and people are let ahead. Why? Whenever the boss isn't there, chaos erupts. Your kebab is delicious, but lately it's just been slapped together. There's no love, and all anyone sees is the money. We wanted fries and a large kebab. We got two small ones, and the fries were colder than they came from the freezer. It only works when certain team members are there. Then the teamwork and cooperation is very good. We're considering trying it again.

They're so incredibly rude. Even if the kebab is tasty and it's the only kebab shop nearby, we won't be going there anymore. I have no idea who they think they are, but I can't believe the egos of one or two of the guys who make the kebabs. Someone should tell them they're just ordinary kebab men. If they had competition nearby, the boss would definitely tell the employees that they have to be friendly to customers.

I can only recommend it, clean shop, friendly staff and the food is delicious💪🏻

One of the best döner kebabs I've ever had in Germany. The place is a bit small, with no room to sit.

The veal doner was good, but the chicken doner was tough and sometimes still pink on the inside. Service was nice.

"Unfortunately, a very disappointing experience at Meisterdöner in Herne: The owner uses cleaning agents directly on the meat while cleaning the rotisserie, which is completely unhygienic. When I pointed this out, he reacted rudely and aggressively. This is completely unacceptable!" I hope this captures your tone better!

I tell the seller that it's extra meat, and what does he do? He forgets, of course. If they then add more, it's not worth the price. They're also always confused when it comes to ordering. A little more involvement would be welcome!

I am not satisfied with anything.

Best kebab in Herne. A bit crowded, but very good.

Meister Döner is truly well-known and often receives positive reviews. I can't share that opinion at all; I would even strongly advise against going there. There's hardly anything to say about the ambiance (street and car wash), but it's worth mentioning the teenagers who often gather in large groups in front of the vending machine in the evenings. The constant queues are simply due to its popularity; I don't see them as a criticism, even if you sometimes have to wait an incredibly long time. The food tastes good, too—not the best kebab in Herne, but definitely pretty high in terms of taste. BUT: What's really bad is that we've eaten there three times over the years (twice deliberately brought it, the last time unwittingly) and each time we've had stomach problems and sometimes even severe diarrhea. Given all the positive reviews, it's certainly strange, but we had it every time with the entire team with different types of meat, so it wasn't a coincidence, which is why I highly recommend everyone to stay away. The positive reviews don't necessarily mean anything, though, since you can do so much with competitions and the like these days. I don't mean to imply anything, but you can see that Haus des Döner (a kebab house) can still rank well on Google despite blatant hygiene deficiencies. This is a similar case for us, or due to excessive customer traffic, the meat is often undercooked.

I don't understand why a place like Meister Döner doesn't understand how to properly top a kebab. Every time, you end up with nothing but meat, and way too much of it. Also, please start smearing the sauces on the bread instead of smearing them on. The quality of the kebab is still terrible.

I ordered a kebab there yesterday and was treated terribly badly. I was completely ignored because I was told to order separately. The kebab didn't taste good because the wrong one tasted like cartilage. I was always happy with it, but over time the quality and service have deteriorated. I can't recommend it anymore.

Got food poisoning! Didn’t even eat all of it and throw it to trash and after a while got food poisoning. Dont get fooled by the good review rating. Such a disaster I dont even know ehat meat I ate! Hope it gets shot down

The kebab itself was okay, but very oily and greasy. A few hours later, I had a stomach ache and a long night.

By far the worst kebab in all of North Rhine-Westphalia. 80% cartilage, 20% meat. Guaranteed stomach aches. People say it's juicy, but it's just disgusting fat from the meat that's been sitting on that warm plate for an hour.

I only got cartilage instead of meat, the service was very unfriendly, and the kebab was full of oil. In the end, there was 500ml of oil on my dining table. I had a stomach ache for the next 10 hours and later had to struggle to get to the bathroom. NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!!!

Absolute disappointment! The kebab was simply inedible – full of gristle, dripping with fat, and dripping with oil. The outside seating is dirty and unkempt; you hardly want to stay there. The staff seem disinterested and barely bothered. Honestly, I can't understand all the positive reviews at all. One thing's for sure: I'm never going back here!

The meat (veal/turkey) contains pieces of fat or cartilage. It's okay if you want to stretch the meat with such a mixture to save money, but then you should at least do it properly. We had three identical doner kebabs (veal/turkey, yogurt, hot sauce, and everything). All three were topped in a different order. To ensure the taste remains consistent across all products, perhaps you should consistently spread the sauce on the bread (as it should be) and not just randomly slap it on the salad. Ultimately, you do the same things every time, so maybe keep a fixed order instead of just slicing the doner together without any care. It didn't satisfy my craving for a great doner at all. It has potential, but if you don't appreciate doner culture, maybe you shouldn't prepare it. Especially if you want to appear modern and contemporary with the payment system and the interior look.

Snotty meat, full of gristle. I don't understand the hype. You can't sit down either.

Had a lot of cartilage/hard pieces in the meat

I ate there with my family almost every weekend, it was one of the best for us, unfortunately after a while it went downhill and it's getting worse and worse! The worst thing is that a friend was eating there and saw that his bread was moldy 🤒🤕 I don't know how that can happen 🤦🏽‍♀️ I thought to myself...!

Currently the best doner kebab in Herne/Recklinghausen. *Update 08/2024: Quality is declining. Hardly any meat in the doner. The sauces are just slapped on. Side dishes are cut into XXL sizes and also slapped in. Are you fed up? **Update 07/2025: The city of Herne is unfortunately very strict with illegal parking. Of course, the shop can't do anything about it – nevertheless, it would be desirable if they would advocate for more customer-friendly solutions with the city. As things stand, it's more likely to deter potential customers. Herne isn't exactly known for being visitor-friendly in this respect.

Excellent doner kebab with real meat and delicious sauces. The price is absolutely fair, considering the top quality. Highly recommended! A great doner kebab place in the area. 🌯👌

Absolutely top-notch! Friendly staff, the meat looks great, and most importantly, it tasted delicious.

For me, this is the best kebab I've ever eaten. The meat is truly worth the money. Everything is very fresh and delicious.

I'm a 1000-star rating, and I think that says it all, given the average star rating. Best kebab ever. From the meat to the sauce, everything is top-notch.

Very tasty food. I can't comment on the ambiance since the food is for pickup...

The meat is delicious, but I've never had such a small portion in a kebab shop. I absolutely don't understand how people can still be so greedy with the prices these days.

Good selection and delicious food

I haven't been to your place for a long time. Great that there are 3 sizes of kebab. I ordered a medium classic. Tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage - you can feel that they are fresh, not left from the previous day. Kebab in a bun is delicious!!! I highly recommend it.

Very friendly staff! Good selection of freshly prepared dishes!

I've seen this place featured so many times on TikTok and other social media that we decided to give it a try. The meat was definitely good! But I've had better. The size was okay for €7, but the salad was rather small, and the spicy sauce was tasty. A walk-in, order-out, walk-out place. No seating.

Very good kebab. Great shop and very friendly service.

Best kebab from Herne and surrounding areas

This is truly a very good kebab, if not the best in North Rhine-Westphalia. Both the beef and the veal skewers are very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The bread is standard. The salad is fresh and crispy. There's a good selection of cheeses. Unfortunately, you can't sit down and enjoy the kebab in peace.

I had the 5-star kebab for €12. It's a hefty price, but worth every cent. Very good quality.

Always delicious, but often long waiting times and eating on site is only possible in good weather, as there are only tables outside.

Delicious and well-filled kebab. For me one of the best kebabs in the area.

For me the best kebab in Herne/Recklinghausen. Friendly staff, very clean shop.

Very tasty, can only be recommended 😋

Food is good, but if your employee has a shitty problem making a kebab with cheddar cheese, then he should either look for another job without customer contact or learn how to deal with customers instead of making fun of it with his colleague. That's not how you treat customers! The new employee is correct and can deal with customers, but not the one who has been working with you for a long time. And it doesn't say anywhere that the Don Carlos kebab with veal costs an extra euro. The colleague also said I could have mayo or ketchup on the Don Carlos. Boy, what do I want with mayo or ketchup. It's really bad that such people have customer contact. Otherwise I always liked your kebab.

Best kebab in Herne and the surrounding area. Tip: Beef kebab Fast service

I saw the trend on social media and then tried the large beef kebab because I was impressed by the reviews from many users. However, the kebab was sobering on site. I was absolutely disappointed with the preparation of the bread. It's completely understandable when there are a lot of customers that things have to be done quickly, but I would still have expected more of the handiness. You can see it in the picture. The mix in the bread was exactly the same as the preparation itself. The salad is fresh and good. The meat was OK.

It's ordinary, simple, and it's as if the people there are giving money for their father's benefit, not your money.

Wonderful address for kebab lovers. Very good quality at fair prices. Very friendly and fast service. Automatic cash register system, therefore maximum hygiene, as employees do not come into contact with coins/banknotes. Clear recommendation, thank you very much!

Döner is of good quality, the only thing missing is that if you want to eat there, there is no table, there is only a small place on the side where you can eat while standing.

Guten Appetit.. Please do not be late rind Fleisch Bester.....otherwise you will eat Kalbfleisch oder Chicken.. Sorry Türkisch und Deutsch..:)))

What really matters here is the food. No seating but still always full. Yes, I have to say that the kebab was excellent, really good beef, not an industrial product. Everything fresh and delicious.

Delicious kebab, fast service, but unfortunately a bit expensive. Big perk: card payments!

Not worth the hype. The meat is delicious but the bread is always soggy. Better let the customer wait a minute longer and serve crusty bread. Uncrispy kebab is always junk, no matter where. Unfortunately, the ambience was zero, 2 standing places in the car wash alley

Title: Disappointing experience at Master Döner I expected more from Meister Döner in Herne, but unfortunately I was very disappointed. The service was unfriendly and seemed totally disinterested. I waited forever for my order to be taken and when the food finally came it was anything but fresh. The kebab was dry and tasteless, the sauces were watery and had hardly any flavor. Additionally, the cleanliness of the store was questionable - tables and floors appeared not to have been cleaned in days. I really can't recommend this store. There are so many better options for a good kebab in Herne. I definitely won't be coming back!

Don't eat the kebab, so at first the meat was 0% crispy, everything was soft and from the middle there was still cartilage, never again

I ate there and it wasn't tasty

First time, last time. Doner kebab was ok, but nothing special, little to no sauce and little meat. You can also make good money with lots of salad. The service is haywire. The gentlemen weren't particularly friendly either. Overall not recommended.

I have to say this time I'm disappointed, I just got two Dürüm and a kebab and arrived home looking forward to the meal. Unfortunately, when we got home we noticed that all the orders were cold and there was more salad than meat. I hope to get a warm meal again next time. Otherwise we like to eat there.

The best food i love here i visit here 2 times with my love but only wait he orders 😘

No longer satisfied 😔. Service has gotten worse, fries have gotten worse, especially Dogan (employee), thinks he's Bill Gates of the kebab 😂 and invented it, is also extremely cheeky when he does something wrong and really doesn't know how to talk to customers, feels attacked with every sentence. Unfortunately, the sauces and the salad have also become worse, which is a real shame!

The service was very chaotic. When I ordered and wanted to say my kebab, someone else suddenly served me. When I got my food at the end and started eating I noticed something, a hair in my kebab great 👍. This is the second time this has happened and they don't change anything after it's been brought up. That was my last visit here.

Unfortunately, for the second time in a row, I hardly had any meat on my kebab. This time there were three pieces of meat, which were relatively long, but it was still hardly meat. It's a disgrace given the price. Also, the meat tasted like it was barely seasoned, I think they forgot to add salt or something. It's a real shame what used to be a really good kebab shop...

It doesn't taste bad but the mix with turkey wasn't anything special and was burnt for me so it was relatively dry. I'll try the shop again. The staff was nice.

Super delicious food and the staff is friendly. For kebab he has 3 types of meat

Still one of the best, incredibly tasty and no messing around. These sauces are simply a dream 😍

I travel around a large area of ​​Germany and I have eaten more than one kebab. The one from Meister Doner was really very good. I recommend it! I gave one star less for the atmosphere because the place is tiny and there is no place to sit to eat.

Were there today, wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The meat is way too salty. The sauces were terrible. Doner kebab wasn't even half eaten and thrown away straight away. Any influencers or YouTubers who advertise this (which they get for free) please don't believe it. We know what a good kebab is, but it definitely isn't. Sorry, but I haven't eaten such a bad kebab in a long time.

I actually enjoy going there, but running out of chicken and turkey at 5 is very sad, so I got back in the car and drove to my Chinese restaurant, at least it has everything.

Doner kebab was great, but unfortunately no seating. Outside there are 3 tables without chairs. You can eat kebab while standing. Doner kebab was plentiful, different sauces were great, I liked it

If you want a delicious kebab to take away, you've come to the right place. The kebab is a 10/10 one of the best in the Ruhr area. The ambience next to a car wash is just a little annoying.

For the price I imagined something different than a normal kebab.
