Berlin Döner: Savor Authentic Flavors of German Street Food in NYC

This place is authentic! Their warm and toasted house bread pairs well with the tender marinated chicken. The serving size is huge. Good for 2. The white sauce brings the whole sandwich together.

I recently visited Berlin Diner in New York, and unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations. I had high hopes based on the reviews and its reputation, but my experience fell short. The menu looked promising, offering a mix of classic diner dishes with a German-inspired twist, but the food itself didn’t quite deliver. I ordered a schnitzel platter and a side of potato pancakes, which sounded delicious. However, the schnitzel was overly greasy, and the potato pancakes were undercooked and lacked the crispiness I was expecting. To make matters worse, I ended up with an upset stomach later that evening, which was disappointing considering I was looking forward to a hearty and satisfying meal. The service, on the other hand, was quite good. The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to bring out our orders, which I really appreciated. The diner itself had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it a pleasant spot to sit and enjoy a meal. While my experience with the food wasn’t ideal, I can tell they put effort into creating a unique concept. Hopefully, with a few tweaks in the kitchen, Berlin Diner can reach its full potential. I’d be willing to give it another try in the future!

Super fast and the döner tasted amazing. I am from Germany originally and this was the best so far I had in the States in the past 10 years. Kudos!! Why? 1) The chicken meat tasted exactly as it shoud. 2) The sauce was perfect 3) The pita bread was nice, fresh and toasty, not a piece of rubber. Fantastic. P.S.: Yummy baklava also
