Berlin’s Iconic Döner Culture
To understand why the OG Kebab is so unique, it's essential to recognize Berlin's deep connection with döner kebabs. The döner has long been a staple of Berlin's food culture, beloved by locals and visitors. Whether it's a quick bite on a late-night outing or a satisfying meal after exploring the city, the döner kebab is more than just food—it's a cultural icon. Yet, with so many options available, capturing the attention of Berlin's discerning kebab fanatics takes something truly exceptional.
At Kebap with Attitude, we've embraced this challenge by offering something familiar yet refreshingly different. Our OG Kebab is not just another döner; it's a culinary experience that brings the rich traditions of Turkish cuisine into the contemporary world of Berlin's vibrant restaurant scene.
The Legacy of Iskender Kebab
Before diving into what makes the OG Kebab unique, let's take a step back and relish the origins of its inspiration — the Iskender Kebab.
Originating from the Turkish city of Bursa, the Iskender Kebab is a dish steeped in history and tradition. It's known for its rich flavours and satisfying textures, typically made with tender slices of beef served over freshly baked bread. The dish is then generously topped with a rich tomato sauce, creamy yoghurt, and a final drizzle of melted butter. This combination creates a harmonious balance of savoury, tangy, and buttery flavours that have delighted palates for generations.
The Iskender Kebab is a celebration of simplicity and quality, where each ingredient plays a crucial role in creating the dish's iconic taste. The beef is the star, complemented by the tangy tomato sauce and the cool, creamy yoghurt. And, of course, the melted butter adds richness.
The OG Kebab: Reimagining a Classic for Berlin
When we set out to create the OG Kebab, we didn't just want to replicate the Iskender Kebab — we wanted to elevate it the "Kebap with Attitude Way".
The result is a döner kebab that honours the tradition of the Iskender while adding a contemporary twist that makes it distinctly our own. The OG Kebab is crafted with the same attention to detail and dedication to quality that you'd expect from any great döner, but with an extra layer of innovation that sets it apart from anything else in Berlin.
What makes the OG truly unique? It starts with the ingredients. At Kebap with Attitude, great kebabs begin with great ingredients. That's why we source our beef locally, ensuring it's always fresh and free-range.
But it's not just the beef that makes the OG Kebab special. Our rich tomato sauce is prepared fresh in-house daily, blending traditional spices with a touch of modern flair to create a familiar and surprising sauce. The yoghurt is another standout, offering a creamy, tangy counterpoint to the beef and rich tomato sauce. And then there's the parsley butter — drizzled over grilled beef, adding a final touch of indulgence that brings the whole dish together.
Quality Ingredients for a Modern Palate
One of the things that sets Kebap with Attitude apart from other Berlin restaurants is our dedication to quality. We don't believe in cutting corners when it comes to ingredients, and that's why everything we use in the OG Kebab is the best of the best. From the locally sourced beef to the homemade sauces, every component of the OG Kebab is carefully selected to ensure it meets our high standards.
This commitment to quality extends to every aspect of our menu, whether you're enjoying a döner at our restaurant or ordering for event catering. We know that Berliners appreciate good kebabs. Whether you choose to enjoy the OG Kebab in traditional pide bread, wrapped in a Yufka dürüm or served on a tray, you can be sure that you're getting a dish that's as fresh and flavorful as it is satisfying.
Serving Options to Suit Every Taste
At Kebap with Attitude, we know everyone has their way of enjoying a great kebab.
You'll love the OG Kebab served in soft, warm pide bread if you're into the classics. This bread is a crucial part of the experience, soaking up all the rich juices from the beef, tomato sauce, and yoghurt, making every bite flavorful and satisfying.
For those who prefer something easy to eat or on the go, our Yufka dürüm wrap is the perfect choice. This thin, soft flatbread wraps all the bold flavours of the OG Kebab into a convenient package that's as portable as it is delicious.
Want to go all out? The OG Kebab on a tray is the ultimate indulgence. It's a complete meal piled high with everything that makes the OG Kebab legendary.
