Ali Baba

At the corner of Danziger Straße in Prenzlauer Berg, Ali Baba is as much a part of the neighborhood as the chestnuts on Kollwitzplatz. Rustic ambiance, oriental warmth, and a generously portioned doner kebab that has long achieved cult status in this district.

Ali Baba in Prenzlauer Berg: A Doner Kebab Shop with Neighborhood Soul

This rustic restaurant is located directly at the legendary U-Eberswalder Straße intersection, from which you can wonderfully explore the most exciting areas of Prenzlauer Berg. The U2 station is literally next door, just under 50 meters from Ali Baba. So, if you want to do something after your doner: The Kulturbrauerei with its museum about life in the GDR is just around the corner.

Ali Baba is not a giant shop, but it’s also not a tiny snack bar. The cozy atmosphere and the option to sit indoors or outdoors make the visit a pleasant experience. Sit outside, observe Prenzlauer Berg, drink some Ayran. That’s Berlin doner culture.

What Makes Ali Baba’s Doner Kebab So Good

At Ali Baba, you don’t get assembly-line doner. The staff serve fresh and delicious dishes, the meat is of high quality, the portions are generously sized, and there’s a selection of sauces. If you like the spicy version, you should order the doner with hot sauce. That’s the clear favorite here.

In addition to the classic doner, Ali Baba also offers much more: Besides chicken doner, there’s also halloumi, stone-oven pizza, and homemade Ayran. Falafel and other dishes are also on the menu. If you’re not in the mood for meat, the falafel doner will also make you happy. It’s juicy, fresh, and served quickly. The shawarma plate is also one of the dishes you should order here.

In terms of price, Ali Baba is around 7.50 Euros for a doner kebab, which is more than fair for Prenzlauer Berg. The meat is of high quality and the portions are generously sized. So, if you’re looking for a doner in Berlin that won’t disappoint, Danziger Straße is the right place.
