TU Berlin Food Scene?

honestly the best bang for your buck is the döner places around ernst-reuter-platz, like tiki or baba's. they're like 4-5 euros and actually filling, way better than the sad sandwiches near the main building. also check out the vietnamese spot on marchstraße, pho 88 or something, it's a small place but a bowl of pho is like 6 euros and tastes legit. just walk away from the campus a couple blocks and prices drop fast

tbh the best move is to walk toward charlottenburg, like 10 mins from the main campus. there's a little turkish bakery on leibnizstraße called simitçi that has fresh simit for like 1 euro and they do these giant gözleme for 3,50. perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch. also if you go down to u-bhf wilmersdorfer strasse there's a small thai place called ma ma thai that does curry for 5 euro, not fancy but super consistent. just avoid anything directly on straße des 17. juni, that's all tourist pricing

you're getting solid recs already, but one spot i don't see mentioned is the little lebanese place on hafenplatz called al dar. it's like a 5 min walk from the main campus, tucked behind the sbahn station. they do a mean shawarma plate for 6 euros that comes with fresh flatbread and salad, way more filling than a döner. also if you're ever near u-bhf zoologischer garten in the evening, the asian market upstairs at the station has a hot food counter that does bao buns for 2 euros each, not a sit-down thing but perfect for a cheap dinner on the way home

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the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated.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.
