A collaborative guide to Berlin.
Grosse Hamburgerstrasse, near the intersection with Oranienburgerstrasse. Al Rai is both a sit-down restaurant and a tiny imbiss next door. It serves hands-down the best chicken shawarma and falafel available in Berlin, at least in Mitte. That’s due mostly to the homemade bread (no pittas out of a bag here) and blistering hot mango sauce. The chicken isn’t too greasy, and you’ll usually find some fried potatos or other vegetables tossed into your wrap. I’d bet the other dishes are as good, but to be honest, I’ll never order anything but the shwarma. Shawarma and falafel are both about 2.80 Euros (in September 2002).
