Zagros Berlin

One Kebab to Rule Them All

Quélia from Berlin

Born and raised in Portugal, I called many other cities my home before settling in Berlin, and what was supposed to be a short 6-month stay in the German capital has now turned into a 7-year (and counting) affair. I'm passionate about traveling and getting to know different cultures, and if I'm not on an adventure, I’m usually planning or dreaming about the next one. I try to really g...
"Zagros, a new Berlin favorite, serves up quality kebabs with fresh bread, flavorful fillings, and free tea. For me, they're winning the fierce competition!"

Kebab is arguably the most beloved Berlin quick bite and post-night-out munch. Kebab joints are part of the city's landscape, and there are thousands of them throughout town. Open from the earliest hours in the morning until late at night, like a good friend, they are always there for you.

Discussions about where you can find the best one are recurrent and many lists have been made on the subject. In the end, everyone seems to have their own favourite spot that they swear by. Recently opened Zagros, is that place for me.

Located right in front of Görlitzer Station, on a street where competition for the best kebab was already fierce, with many reputable options available, Zagros somehow managed to outdo them and is now a favourite in the area.


They’re not doing anything radically new — it’s just a sandwich, after all — but it’s as good as it gets. They make their own bread fresh on the spot and fill it with a mix of fried vegetables, tasty sauces, and your choice of meat, halloumi cheese, or freshly made falafel. Then it's topped with feta, an actually nice salad, some spices, and a squeeze of lime. It simply cannot get any better! But then it does: there’s also free, unlimited tea offered, which is a nice touch. If there were such a thing as the Kebab Olympics, Zagros would definitely take home the gold medal.

Berlin Spotter Quélia

Born and raised in Portugal, I called many other cities my home before settling in Berlin, and what was supposed to be a short 6-month stay in the German capital has now turned into a 7-year (and counting) affair. I'm passionate about traveling and getting to know different cultures, and if I'm not on an adventure, I’m usually planning or dreaming about the next one. I try to really get to know the places I visit, and I’m always on the lookout for authentic experiences, which is how I stumbled upon Spotted by Locals many years ago. When not traveling around or hiking ...
