Hidden away in the beautiful streets of Adenauer Platz in Charlottenburg, you'll find Mido. This isn't just another Asian restaurant. It may not look like much from the outside, but once you get inside, the whole impression changes.
The interior is modern, with wooden sculpture-like walls and a piece of art hanging from the ceiling. There is a cherry tree in constant blossom and a small altar in the middle of the restaurant. It all makes a perfect backdrop for the sushi landscape on your plate, covered in white smoke.
I love going there in the evening for a proper dinner with friends, but it could also be perfect for lunch when the nearby shops and cafes are still open, and you can enjoy the flair of the lively streets. This is where you'll find the best sushi for the best price. Always fresh and incredibly good. Enjoy it!

They take the traditional döner in Berlin and transform it into a borderline art form. With flavorful sauces, meat, vegetables, spices, herbs, bread, and cheese, there's no wonder each bite tastes better than the last.

For €2, you can enjoy their falafel, shawarma, or kafta wrap. Their falafel wrap can be fully plant-based, too, just let them know, so they omit some sauces. They're better off as a snack because they're a bit on the smaller side.

Gözleme is a savoury doughy Turkish bread, somewhat similar to a turnover or quesadilla. This stuffed flatbread can be filled with all sorts of ingredients, most commonly meat, cheese, or vegetables.
