The best street food venues of type "Turkish cuisine" in Germany

Cologne's best-kept kebab secret is hidden in Körnerstraße: every Wednesday, Atila Tosun personally fires up the spit in his small, iconic Ehrenfeld market hall for what is perhaps the most honest and delicious kebab in the cathedral city.
It's hard to believe, but even at the Viktualienmarkt there are still some insider tips: Gürmet, for example! Where Munich is at its most beautiful, Sarah and Mete make it even more beautiful with their vegan and vegetarian Turkish mezze, which they serve with fantastic wines.
The house speciality is jacket potatoes – also known as kumpir in Turkish. These are filled to your heart's content at Don Kichot, often in variations with avocado, rocket and whatever the green garden has to offer, but also with chicken or beef. You will be well looked after here.
The deli, which is part of the traditional snack bar in the Kwartier Latäng neighbourhood, brings kebab power to the Agnesviertel. The kebab is prepared according to a recipe that is over 30 years old. The bread, meat, pickled vegetables, salads, falafel etc. taste super fresh and the kebab platter is particularly good.
Köfte at Kotti (Kottbusser Tor). At Konak Izmir Köftecisi, juicy meatballs are served in crispy bread rolls with fresh salad and homemade sauces. The secret to the good flavour and success is the family recipes that make the köfte so unique.
A must for visitors to Cologne. If you haven't eaten an Adana sandwich here, you haven't seen the cathedral city. The charcoal-grilled lamb skewers can also be enjoyed with bulgur, rice, salad and hot sauce. Another tip: try the house pide.
A pleasant little snack bar with a neutral ambience, but the kebab plates, kebab pockets, lahmacun and falafel are really really good. Everything tastes really fresh and is obviously prepared with a lot of love every day. Nice prices and extremely friendly service.
Of course, you can also do what everyone at Gärtnerplatz loves to do here: Sip Aperol Spritz. But above all, you should try the delicious mezze by TV chef Ali Güngörmüs. In good weather, you can sit with a view of the Gärtnerplatz theatre. Munich doesn't get any better than this.
Doner kebab, only nicer. The classic comes with tzatziki and salad, and in addition to veal, there is also a vegan version of the soya skewer, both served in homemade bread. The homemade mezze, falafel plates, and the vegetable doner with grilled vegetables and aubergine yoghurt sauce are also good.
Kebap with Attitude have created a kebab that is anything but ordinary. Their recipe for success is the great flavour, high-quality ingredients as well as regional beef and chicken, which is cooked on site.

Since 2016, you can have crispy kebab rolls filled with juicy meat and plenty of vegetables at Spichernplatz. The homemade sauces are really deep and the pide is downright fantastic. Rather unromantic setting, but extra points for freshness and friendliness.
Gourmet köfte in a somewhat remote, unattractive corner of the city - served either in a fresh baguette with homemade, delicious sauces or as a platter dish with pickled vegetables, chips and salad. The beef currywurst is also good.
Generously filled kebab pockets at more than fair prices. Fans call it the best kebab spot in the city, some even in the whole of NRW. Here are the facts: Well-seasoned meat. Vegetables super fresh, bread crispy and the sauce combo really good, plus there are good vegan alternatives.
The snack bar in Stuttgart East has made a name for itself with innovations. The vegan kebab was pioneered here, but meat fans still get their money's worth too - for example with the steak kebab. Pide and kebab bread are baked in their own stone oven.
Visually, it looks as if the kebab here has American roots, as the shop with its white tiles and neon lights almost looks like a diner. But the kebab itself? Clearly of Eurasian provenance. If you want something special, you should order a wagyu kebab in advance!
Original Turkish specialities in the heart of Frankfurt. The attractive mezze variations are remarkable, and the cosy and friendly restaurant also offers a whole range of fine fish as well as succulent lamb dishes and Turkish meatballs with oriental seasoning.
The kebab snack bar on Aachener Straße is not only good for a quick emergency pit stop, but can also be visited with a clear conscience to enjoy a kebab, dürüm or halloumi wrap. Wonderfully crispy fries, juicy meat, great salad.
Adana is a cult favourite. If you can't manage the mountains of charcoal-grilled meat on your own, it's best to come with lots of friends. The grilled meat platter and the eponymous minced meat skewers are particularly well-known throughout the city, be sure to order the garlic sauce.
