I've finally had a kebab!

This place was a fun find, and great for a cheap, naughty lunch whilst on holiday in Berlin. I was intrigued by the seitan kebab spit, so had the 'voner kebab.' It was delicious, huge, stuffed with lovely salad and a delicious tahini dressing. The staff were not the friendliest on the day I visited, little bit too cool, if you know what I mean? But the food was great, and I would definitely go back. I really love the logo too, and they had free stickers which you could take - bonus!

Pros: Delicious, naughty fast food, Huge portions, Inexpensive

Cons: Small establishment

Wish they had this everywhere!

The taste is just really satisfying! They give you a good portion of real seitan meat subsitute with probably the same spices as döner (don't know because I never ate the meat version obviously)!

First I thought this was omnipresent in Berlin, but most if not all other places use the moniker 'vegetarian döner sandwich' to sell simply the sandwich without the döner, i.e. with just salad and sauce! Will come to Vöner every time I'm in the area :)

it was ok

I had high expectations of this place, but was not really impressed with the food. It was very greasy. The staff was really friendly and the place looked nice.

Pros: friendly staff, nice vibe, vegan, big portions

Cons: greasy, not so tasteful

cozy but average

I like the idea very much: There's actually a seitan heap set up like a standard döner. It's not important to me, but I always enjoy the imitation of meat in a weird satirical way. :-)

The people are nice, the food was ok. I had the Vöner plate with fries and salad. I wasn't so impressed by the tahini sauce. It's ok to eat there, but I wouldn't recommend it over other excellent choices.

Pros: an actual vegan döner!

Cons: average qualitiy and taste

High expectations or an unlucky day maybe

I got a tip from my Czech friend about delicious kebab somewhere in Berlin. I need to say that Doner plate was really delicious, filling, nicely served and everything you want, but maybe I had high expectations about the taste of kebab, it seemed to me to be little bit dried and lets say "a short time spent in a marinade". But I appreciate every vegan restaurant in Berlin and this one is the one you need to visit.

Pros: Inside&outside sitting, Original fake meat, Nicely served

Comfort food joy!

I really enjoyed this place, perfect when you want a plate of comfort food! I had fries with a 'cheesy' sauce & onions..i LOVED this, some of the best fries i've ever had and would've been happy with this alone! With it i had very tasty strips of the kebab 'meat' with a spicy tomato sauce..so good! Came with salad too. My friend had a sausage with the same sauce which she very much enjoyed. Big portions, good value. The guy working there was helpful and it's a chilled out place to be.

Pros: All vegan, Tasty junk food!, Good value

Not impressed

I was excited about this place and its rotating kebab spit. But I got disappointed, unfortunately, in the first bite. Seitan was dry, fries weren't tasty and the ambient was too smelly because of the fried food. I'm glad to see, based in reviews below, that some people love this place. I really enjoy when vegan restaurants have their fans. But, definitely, I won't go there again.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Small and smelly place, Food

fush n chups

I like this place a lot.
My favourite is the vish & chips (never had them vegan before but I'm sure they're top notch in the vegan fish and chips world - coming from a kiwi by choice) but the wagenburger and vöner are just as good.
try the peanut sauce!

Pros: delicious, all vegan, seitan based meats (soy-free)

Cons: bathroom's a bit shabby

Awesome fries!

Yet another awesome vegan spot in Berlin. My Husband recommended this as he was missing Doner...I never tried the real thing since I've been vegetarian so long, so I didn't have a point of comparison. It was really tasty! The fries were really delicious. My husband loved it. I'd like to go back next time in Berlin to try the burger, as I heard from friends that it's pretty good.

Pros: Very filling, Cheap

Cons: not much seating

Delicious vegan döner!!!

Perhaps my favourite place in Berlin. Excellent vegan döner, really tasty and filling. Also amazing chips! Friendly and relaxed staff is another pro. Could be a bit bigger and have more tables but it's the place you can't miss if you're vegan and visiting Berlin!!!

Pros: amazing vegan döner, good portions, excellent sauces

Cons: little too small

Cheap, quick and tasty!!

Went here with a group of meat eating friends and I think they were all impressed with the 'meatiness' of the kebabs here!!

We all had variations of seitan kebabs and fries-I can't remember their exact names-which were big portions, and really tasty and filling.
The cafe is small, a bit more like a take away/fast food place, but in a good way. I'd imagine a great place to stop after a few beers!!

Pros: Cheap, Vegan burgers and kebabs :), Relaxed place, good beer!

Awesome vegan döner

This is my favorite vegan fast food place in Berlin. Their Vöner is super yummy and the fries with onions and the "cheese" sauce are to die for!
They also make great cinnamon rolls. Only saw them once though. If you see them: Buy them!

I don't like the Börek very much, as it is very greasy and doesn't taste of much.

If you miss this place, you really missed something in Berlin! Easily reachable within a few minutes walking from S-Bahn Ostkreuz.

The staff is very relaxed and friendly. Nothing to complain about! Only the amount of sauce can vary a little with whoever is currently working there, but that's not a big deal.

Pros: Yummy Vöner, Special fries, Friendly staff

Cons: Bland börek

Vegan doner kebabs!

For what it is, I'd easily give this place 5 cows. The vegan kebab "meat" slowly spins on a vertical spit in the way that animal meat does at traditional kebab shops. For a veggie or a vegan, just this sight alone is a real novelty! For 5 euros you can get a kebab wrap filled with voner meat, salad and a sauce of your choice (for those who prefer things mild, go with the herb dressing). Very filling and tasty, a single kebab wrap is probably all that is needed. Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and space for sitting in or outside. A little tricky to find, but definitely worth the visit considering how unique the concept is.

Pros: Great tasting vegan kebabs, friendly staff

Vegan fast food 101

A small and cozy grill-like restaurant which is not hard to find if you know where to go. A handful of tables to sit. May get crowded easily but the atmosphere is still peaceful.

Menu is quite small, so there shouldn't be much trouble to choose. Portions are quite large and filling. Prices are low and you get your moneys worth of food.

Big chunk of vöner is slowly spinning on the grill and it's being marinated whenever it gets dry. But vöner is not soaked in oil which is also nice. Slices are thick so no sparing on the main thing. Sauces were tasty and crowned portions!

For gluten-free eaters only one possible portion.

Definitely a place to visit again!

Pros: All-vegan, Tasty portions, Atmosphere

Cons: Only one gluten-free option

Great fast food

You get a lot of food for your money here, and the food itself is really good. The selection is simple, just vegan döner in different shapes, but really tasty. The tomato-chili sauce was especially good.

Unforgettable

Away from the center but very much in a hip area, this small 4 table eatery has enough space and options on the menu for a whole party of people to stop and eat.

The decor is typical Berlin, cool and interesting; you'll find yourself very relaxed.

The menu is brief, but anything more would be too much. What they do they do well and it's far from expensive.

The food is freshly made whilst you wait, the taste is heavenly and you're bound to be left wanting more - not because it's not filling, but because the taste is so good.

Pros: Unforgettable taste, Good selection of options, All made fresh

Cons: None

Ok...

I had high hopes for this place and we made a special trip to come try it, but I left disappointed. I picked a kebab and it was huge- the women seemed friendly enough but they had soaked our food in so much sauce that it overpowered it and made it sickly. It then ruined the bread and ended up all over our hands, so I gave up and left half of it. It's a shame as I think I'd have enjoyed it with less sauce and a slightly smaller portion. Would I bother going back? Meh.

Yum!

I love Voner. The place is small and cosy and the food is prepared right in front of you. Very clean and fresh. I had the vagenburger with cheese and fries, which are homemade. All the produce was fresh and the tastes are amazing. It wasn't my first time there and as I am a fan, I'll return again for sure.

Pros: great food, cosy atmosphere, clean

Cons: small - hard to get a table

Good, not great

I got a Voner to go, and ate it at home. They made it very fast. The bread was very rubbery, but the filling was pretty good. I would rate this somewhere in the middle, as I finished my food, but I threw out half the bread. I would eat here again after a night of drinking, but not if I had some other options.

Pros: Decent filling, Fast

Cons: Tough bread

I think the problem might have come from taking your meal home in the cold weather. The bread often becomes a weird texture. Of course it doesn't help that they put a lot of sauce on too.

Fantastic Vegan Doner!

i cannot say I have ever tried a meat-based doner kebab, but I can say that the sandwiches at this place are incredible. The vegan meat is cut from a traditional doner kebab vertical spit. The flavors are just perfect, and if you decide to go with the garlic sauce on your sandwich, you will have a delightful meal.

I spoke with two women at this restaurant and asked if they were vegan. They said that they were not vegan or vegetarian. When I mentioned that the donar kebab here was vegan, they didn't believe me at first. They thought they were at a regular meat-based doner kebab restaurant.

Voner der Vegetarische Doner is one of my favorite restaurants in Berlin! I wish we had such a place in Los Angeles!

Pros: food, value, service

Cons: None

Vegan classic

The Voeners are amazingly delicious and so are their fries. I went here twice on my visit to Berlin, and will go again next time I'm around. I wish they would open restaurants in other areas of Germany nearer to me. The food, price, and atmosphere, service... all great!

Pros: Excellent food, Atmosphere, Service & location

Stunning Vöner platter

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.

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

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
