Stunning Vöner platter

5 Posted on 05 / 13 / 2013

Great place in Friedricksheim, easy to find it too. Small place with a couple of seats in- and outside. I tried the Vöner platter with French fries and salad. I was astonished that the fake meat (seitan) was cut from the kebab pole just like the meat ones. The place was full of with either local punks or people belonging to the same underground subculture. First time there was a French crust punk couple sitting next to me with a doggy of course. :p I felt like home. :))
The next day I went for the Berliner specialty: curry wurst (French fries+salad). Again, brilliant. Vegan mayo is just amazing, I could not get enough of it, though there could have been a bit more salad for the dishes. All in all both of them were great with a price of at around 4-5 euros each.
Staff spoke English and happily explained me what is vegan what is not. Definitely going visit them again when I am in Berlin.

If you are a snooty health-oriented vegan, who does not like strong flavours, then this might not be the best place for you.

best vegan kebab

4 Posted on 04 / 21 / 2013

It is the best kebab I know. I really like the kebab skewer - why aren´t there more Vöner somewhere?

It´s a great place for some fast food, staff is super nice, good prices.

I really like it.

Pros: kebab skewer, food, price, staff

The only Doner that matters

Voner is awesome! Good food, great prices, friendly staff, and really stands out!

Voner is something special, something you dont find everywhere like falafel.
It is a place where you can sit comfortably outside, they have a fast service, and the food tastes great (if you like/want a fast food-ish lunch/dinner)
Also, very good fries with spices on it.

Pros: All vegan , Fast
Cons: not that much seats outside

Best of a Kind

5 Posted on 02 / 06 / 2013

The best Fish'n'Chips I've ever had I had there. The taste freakishly resembled real sea creatures, so I was surprised for first little while, but quickly realised that I was totally into it. Minimalist design matches minimalist prices, and the food is simple, but soo comforting. When I'm in Berlin again, will be back to this place again and again.

Pros: Great portions, Good value
Cons: none

I have had reoccuring semi-pornographic dreams about this place during the two years that has passed since I left. This place is/was a gift from above.

Pros: Vöner, Spicy sauce, Price

No longer impressed...

3 Posted on 12 / 24 / 2012

I came here when I was a young-vegan and was happy. I came again, several times as a more mature vegan and must say I do no longer like the meaty part, taste and texture. The bread and stuffing was OK (though you should use a plate, otherwise your arms are full of sauce as the gread is open). Also, the waitree used the same (unwashed hand) for money, scratching and aranging tomato, cucumber etc... Might avoid this place in future as there are meanwhile other places that do doeners...

Pros: Existence
Cons: Hygiene, taste

Great vegan döner!

This is a small takeaway whose main attraction is the vöner (vegan döner kebab, pronounced fur-ner). You can have it on a plate or in a wrap/flat-bread and it comes with fresh salad. You can also choose from a few sauces (e.g. hot sauce, mayo). The kebab itself is made from a mix of tofu, seitan, vegetables and spices from what I gather and it is absolutely delicious! Warning - it does resemble the donner kebab so if you don't like that, you might not like this.

They also do chips/fries (quite good) as well as a couple of burgers, which I personally didn't think were particularly outstanding.

The take-away has limited seating inside and a few tables outside so it can be a little full at times.

It is also located quite near to Boxhagener Platz, often the site of an interesting food market or, on Sundays, an amazing flea market. Simon-Dach-Straße - popular for it's night-life scene - also isn't too far away. Although it's located quite close to Ostkreuz station, I'd recommend having a walk round the area before/after eating, perhaps heading towards Warschauer Straße station or towards Frankfurter Tor station to check out the neo-classical architecture.

Pros: Delicious vegan döner, Cool area
Cons: Often full/busy (is this really a con?)

crazy & amazing vegan experience

5 Posted on 10 / 17 / 2012

vöner! what an amazing idea!

it was delicious with a fresh salad &
the vegan tzatziki & chilli sauce :) the voner 'meat' is quite rich though so i would recomment sharing with someone.

burger was really yum too! & we also looooved the fries with onions & cheese sauce!

a really delicious & exciting food experience in the wonderful berlin.

staff who worked there are really friendly too :)

Nice vegan fastfood

4 Posted on 07 / 27 / 2012

My wife and I were guests at the A&O hotel and having just arrived there, after having a tiresome day training from Krakow, we were looking for some quick inexpensive vegan food. It turned out we only had to walk out of the door to have our eyes caught on Vöner. It wasn't entirely clear to me that I could order a vöner pita there, because I only looked at the board which started with "vöner teller" (vöner, some salad en deep fried spicy potatoes)... so I ordered that. It was certainly tasty and a nice welcome to Berlin for us. Next time I'll try the pita though, since I'm trying to hold on to a low(er) fat vegan diet, so omitting the fries and having some more salad would be a better option for me.

I'm just not sure what to think

3 Posted on 09 / 06 / 2011

Don't get me wrong! the food was delicious! even my non vegetarian father liked it.
the fries were better than those i ate at meat serving places (back then when i was a cannibal) and the voner was tasty and spicy just the way i like it.
But still, the forks and knifes were stained (probably because they weren't dried after washing) and the place was noisy.
Next time I'm at Germany I'll probably come back to this place but I'll order it iside that bread/pita thing (so I won't need a fork) and I'll sit outside.

Pros: excellent food, not too expensive
Cons: noisy, stained cutlery

Best Vegan Kebab I've had

5 Posted on 06 / 12 / 2011

While I was in Berlin a friend recommended me this place, and it did not disappoint. Small shopfront tucked away in Friedrichshain, but a nice place to sit in. The Voener's were always excellent, big and juicy with nice bread and salad. The Wagenburgers also went down a treat, as did the fries. Cheap drinks too. Staff were always really friendly, and I never had to wait long for an order. No frills but none necessary. Would recommend to any Vegan food lover passing through Berlin keen for a cheap, delicious meal. A place I'd love to revisit

Pros: Food, Service, Location

Tasty

5 Posted on 12 / 20 / 2010

The location is about a 5 minute walk from the Ostkreuz S-Bahn station. The inside is nice and clean. I ordered the Doner with Tahine Garlic sauce and some of their french fries. The serving was quite large because they pack the kebab pretty well with the faux-meat and lettuce/tomatoes. Everything was delicious. The staff doesn't seem to speak English but language is quite unnecessary in this situation.

Pros: Inexpensive, Tasty, Vegan

good fast food

I liked the voner. I liked the fact that they where so animal friendly. I liked the handmade fries. And the burger I had. The fake mayonaise was a bit tasteless but they had ketchup also. We had big portions. So you don't have to worry about leaving hungry.

Pros: vegetarian fastfood, big portions, good value!

Very tasty, cheap price!

4 Posted on 10 / 26 / 2009

If you like fake meat things, Vöner is a really delicious meal every once in a while. The prices are a bit higher now than they used to be - for a vegan Vöner you will pay 3,4€ which is still a good price. The chips are very, very tasty and together with the vegan mayonnaise are nearly better than the Vöner.
I never liked the Wagenburger too much because I find it a but limp but that's a personal thing I guess.
The is also a "Bio Burger" I have never tried.
For drinks there is organic beer and lemonades - all 1,50 per bottle.
The staff is always very friendly, the music a bit annoying sometimes.

Pros: cheap, friendly staff
Cons: noisy, no fresh food or drinks

tasty

when it opened i could not get enough of the vöner, but i switched to be a wagenburger-fan, cause it is a little more crispy. :)
the quality of their fries is not always the same, but when they are good, they are GREAT. and i love the fact that they serve as much vegan mayonaise as you want! :)
they recently raised their prices, but still very moderate.
i like this place, too bad it's not all vegan.

It was not very difficult finding the resturant. My boyfriend is good at finding it without maps. It was the opposite from YoYo restaurant (another vegan restaurant which I do not admire at all). We were the first customers as it opened at a little past noon. The guy there was really friendly and helpful; he indicated which are vegan or not, which was very considerate of him. In addition, we ordered kebab with hot sauce and wagenburger (vegan) in these interesting panini-like wraps. These wraps were huge, grilled, and unique--never had anything like this before. We also ordered one dish of pomme (fries in German), and we filled the dish with vegan mayo and ketchup. It was the incredible french fries ever. Love the red seasoning on these big ass fries, plus the vegan mayo/ketchup make good companies to them. The kebab wrap with hot sauce was raw, so everything is not cooked there (too much raw onions, we would have asked for no onions instead of ending up with our hands smelling like onion). It was okay, but the wagenburger was well liked by us since the burger patty was prepared and cooked (plus with lots of pickles). Everything costs about 8 euros, I think. It was still cheap, and well worth it. We would definitely go back there again. Feel free to view our snapped photos of these meals! :) Enjoy!

Pros: Cheap, Good portions, GREAT FRIES

we had a hard time finding it, but i believe it is close to ostkreuz if i don't remember wrong.

good döner, but absolutely fantastic fries (according to me, not the biggest fan of fries AND my boyfriend, who IS the biggest fries-fan, which must be a good grade!)

Great and incredibly cheap!

5 Posted on 03 / 30 / 2009

such a good little place. I've been there a couple times. Eating fries and Burgers is not the best way to keep a vegan diet but when you just need a little extra fat in your system, this is definitly the way to go. They have great sauces and great burgers. 2 can leave there stuffed for about 7 euros.

Pros: CHEAP!!!!, all vegan except for one sauce, friendly staff
Cons: Greasy

still riding the fast food wave, that seems to cover all of the Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. I like it once in a while, but i never really liked eating meatless Döner either. Maybe i'm a little preoccupied, since meatless Döner was the only fast food you could get some 10-12 years ago, as a vegan kid living close to Berlin. But now the seitan doesn't make much of a difference to me. they seem to make a good business there anyways.

Pros: good value, open late, friendly staff

Succulent Seitan Delights

5 Posted on 08 / 28 / 2008

Located in a pretty cool part of Berlin. We had the delicious 'Voener', in other words a vegetarian doner kebab. This is fast food at it's best. Some people may think why try to emulate the doner kebab? Well, with the voener no animals have come to harm and it's a damn sight healthier. It's also very very tasty, I wish I got a bigger sandwich. As far as fast food goes, this place is superb. You can also get a beer and take a seat outside if it takes your fancy.

Pros: taste, value, concept
