Anyone know a döner/shawarma place in Berlin that makes it's own bread?
tbh i think rüyam gets all the hype but if you want something a bit more old school try bürgeramt döner in kreuzberg. they bake their own bread too but it's a different style, more like a traditional turkish pide bread that's slightly thicker and chewier. the guy who runs it used to work at one of the big bakeries in wedding and decided to do his own thing. it's on oranienstraße near the u8, tiny place with like 4 seats. cash only and they close when they run out which is usually around 8pm
rüyam gemüse kebab in neukölln near hermannplatz. they make their own bread daily and it's noticeably softer and fluffier than the standard stuff. get the falafel too while you're there, it's made fresh not from a pack. just be prepared to queue around lunchtime
There's a spot in Kreuzberg called Hisar Fresh Döner near Kottbusser Tor that bakes their own bread throughout the day. The bread is somewhere between the fluffy rüyam style and the thinner wedding style, with a nice sesame seed crust. It's a small family run place on Adalbertstraße, they've been there for years and the owners are usually the ones making the dough out back. The meat is decent too but the bread is the real draw.

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
