Oase

We were going here regularly. The food is great. Big portions for little amount of money. But each time we got a little more and more grossed out by the way the guy would have a smoke, handle money, then handle food, with no hand washing in between. We tried not to be so germ-a-phobic about this but then when we all got a really bad stomach bug after eating here and our daughter ended up in hospital (to be fair, it may not have been Oase that caused it but it is one of two possibilities) we just stopped going here altogether.

UPDATE: We have tried almost every place nearby with good reviews and none have been as good as Oase. We decided to give them another chance and have noticed that they wash their hands before handling the food now.

I love this place. The owner greets you warmly. I'm a Chili head so I love that he does a Really spicey sauce. I usually order the Döner Teller, which has everything on it and comes with flat bread. Recommended.

On our 4 day trip, we came back 3 times. one night my boyfriend finished his entire falafel wrap in less than 5 minutes. It's that good!!!! Definitely the best bang for your buck for a meal in Berlin. The man at the counter is friendly and nice, and the food is awesome. The best doner in town!

A tiny Oase in the Warschauerian Dessert! The place is run by smiling gentlemen who know their Shawarma business. They have a great selection of ingredients and know how to create a balanced wrap (with a hint of spicy which is always welcome).

One of the best falafels for your dollar in Berlin. Certainly beats the places around it, and usually isn't at all crowded so you can get your Schwarma in a couple minutes.

Have you ever gone back to the hotel from a great night out, full of joy and good memories? And then you realize you didn't eat too much in between all those beers and drinks? You are hungry as a bricklayer at the end of a long shift.

This is the situation I found myself in - at 2am, knowing nothing about locating edible stuff in Berlin at this time of night. Across the street was an all night kiosk, but the thought of eating candy or biscuits just didn't do it for me. And then it miraculously happened - around the corner came a beautiful girl, clearly enjoying her kebab. Sauce on her cheeks, happiness in her eyes, and oblivious to her surroundings. And I knew. I turned the corner and moved like a lion smelling meat - and found an oasis, named Oase. Full of people it was, full of choices and offering friendly and fast service.

Mouthwatering I navigated through the questionnaire that eventually resulted in a great Kebab that I devoured while enjoying the lively place. Everything homemade, everything hot or cold as it should be. One of the tricks to make a good kebab is to alternate between content, e.g. a little salad, then a little meat, then a few tomatoes, then a little sauce, then salad again, then meat, etc. until it is full. That way, the taste is the same throughout the eating experience. Trick of the trade, but not everybody knows.

Yes, you say, but you were hungry and drunk, so what good is that for a review? I agree. But I went back in the bright daylight and tasted another one, and it was just as awesome as the one I had the night before.

Awesome luck for me, awesome food from Oase.

Falafel was incredible. Stupendous. Absolute best I've ever had anywhere. I'll be back. I'll tell anyone that goes to Berlin that this is the spot.

decent joint on Warschauer to grab quality falafel or shawarma. paid 3€ - 3.50€ and it was quite satisfied.
there's really not more to say than that. it's a small place with maybe 3 stools to sit on and there's decent traffic around lunch and dinnertime.

This place has the absolute best falafel I can find in Friedrichshain. You could say I'm a bit of a falafel snob, and I tried a lot of places. This guy knows how to do it right. four sauces included and wrapped correctly so that it really works as a street food without getting messy. The falafel itself is perfectly seasoned and has far more flavor than other places. Yes, falafel is actually supposed to taste like something. The owner is Palestinian, which helps to explain why his food is superior to all the other (Turkish) places around. Do yourself a favor and taste what falafel is SUPPOSED to taste like. I've now tried the shawarma, hummus and tabouli and all of it is fantastic! Honestly it's the best shawarama i've ever had. Just because it's an imbiss doesn't mean it can't be good.

I used to walk by this place all the time, but just happened to stop in by chance with a friend one evening. It was the best decision I have made in a long time!


The falafel was absolutely incredible. Freshly made, seasoned beautifully, and the sauces just complimented it to perfection.


I'm sure somebody will be able to tell us where there is even better falafel...but at this moment I couldn't recommend anywhere better!
