My boss is visiting Berlin soon and wants me to find out the three best Doner kebab places in Berlin for him to try.
I'm from South Africa so I don't know much about which places are good. What are the recommendations?? I would like to know the most trendy or hyped ones as he will likely want to post them on his social media
Thanks in advance
Honestly, if he wants hype and social media cred, hit up Rüyam Gemüse Kebab in Neukölln. The line is always insane but the bread is like nothing else. For a second one, maybe Mustafa's Gemüse Kebab near the zoo, it's a total tourist trap but hey, the boss will get the pic. Third option is prob Hisar Fresh Food in Kreuzberg, less famous but locals swear by it and the vibe is more authentic
ngl your boss should check out the döner at grill 66 in charlottenburg, it's a bit off the main tourist path but the meat is layered with cheese and it's super photogenic for that melty cheese pull shot. for the trendy crowd, there's also the new spot called baba's in mitte, they do a truffle döner that's been all over tiktok lately. third pick is a bit of a wildcard but bazar in steglitz has this insane spicy sauce that locals fight over, and the place has those old-school yellow tiles that look great in pics
If your boss wants the full Berlin experience and something that photographs well, go to Mars Kebab at Mehringdamm. The meat is carved right off a massive rotating spit and they char the bread on the grill, so it looks dramatic. For the trendy factor, there's also K'Ups Gemüse Kebab in Friedrichshain, they do a vegan version with grilled halloumi that stands out on a feed. Third pick would be Pamfilya in Moabit, it's old school and the portions are huge, which plays well for content if he films the unwrapping.

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.
