Rosenthaler Grill & Schlemmerbuffet

A family business with history directly at Rosenthaler Platz

Rosenthaler Grill & Schlemmerbuffet is an old family business founded in 1993 in a tiny shop of just 20 square meters. In 2008, it expanded and grew to over 120 square meters. So, the mini-stall of yesteryear has become a proper corner restaurant. The business is now run by the second generation, guided by old values and traditions. This can still be felt today.

The location at Torstraße 125, directly on the famous Rosenthaler Platz, makes the place a popular meeting point for Berliners and travelers. The location is hard to beat: Rosenthaler Platz is in the heart of Berlin-Mitte, directly on the U8 subway line, and is surrounded by Weinbergspark, Hackescher Markt, and Oranienburger Straße. So, if you get hungry after strolling through the Hackesche Höfe, this is the perfect place. The restaurant offers cozy seating inside and out, so you’ll find a spot even in good weather. And if you’re late: the place is open daily from 7:00 AM to 3:00 AM. Breakfast, lunch, late-night döner. Everything is possible.

What makes the döner at Rosenthaler Grill so special

The döner here is not an off-the-shelf döner. The establishment focuses on original Berlin Döner Kebab with 100% sliced veal, accompanied by homemade sauces, freshly baked breads, and crisp salads. Those who prefer chicken will also get their money’s worth. Döner with veal or chicken are both on the menu and both are convincing.

What truly makes the difference: 98% of all products are homemade, including the breads for döner and dürüm, all sauces, dough items, and pasta sauces. You can taste it. The spicy sauce, in particular, has cult status. The meat is juicy, the bread beautifully crispy, and the marinated red cabbage perfectly completes the flavor composition. Additionally, the döner plate with veal or chicken is also a staple offering. The price-performance ratio is simply unbeatable for this area. If you’re also in the mood for something else: the shop has two counters. One for kebabs and grilled dishes, one for pizza, pasta, and more. Thus, a quick döner stop often turns into a longer stay.
