A tourist trap. I only ate here because I have a group of visitors who wanted to grab sth to eat by the river. Would never take anyone to eat here again. I had a veggie box for almost 10€, and 3/4 of the box was filled by cheap salad. In a normal Berlin kebab place this would cost half the price, and there would at least be rice and more grilled vegetables inside. The service was also horrible, even for Berlin standard. My group was trying to be as respectful and accommodating as possible, but the staff made fun among themselves because they thought the "tourists" couldn't understand German, and didn't care much for what we wanted. I know Mustafa Demir is turning into a chain now, but some other locations have much better value products and friendlier service...

Overall quick and casual kebabs, good value for money with its fresh pita and flavorful...

It was very much a street food experience; I wasn’t expecting an extraordinary taste, and to be honest, the flavor didn’t go beyond that. Coming from Turkey, I’ve eaten countless döners in my life. Compared to the Turkish style, the addition of vegetables was unusual for me, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. Turkish döner often feels a bit heavy to me, while the German-style döner is lighter and fits my palate better. The bread, however, wasn’t really my favorite, and the price felt higher than many other options in the city. Still, it’s an interesting spot to try if you want to experience one of Berlin’s iconic...
