A new shawarma experience

Why Berlin? Because shawarma deserves more.

Berlin took the shawarma idea and refined it: toasted flatbread, crisp fresh salad, layered sauces and meat carved from the spit. Every element in balance. We brought that craft to Calicut, and it is why we serve the best shawarma in Calicut.

What makes it different

Three details. One remarkable bite.

  1. The portion

    Generous by design. More meat, more salad, more of everything than an ordinary shawarma, so one order is a proper meal, not a snack. You will feel the difference the moment it is in your hands.

  2. The salad

    Crisp lettuce, shredded cabbage, ripe tomato and red onion, piled generously. Cool, bright crunch to balance the warmth of the meat.

  3. The masala & sauces

    Our own house masala, worked deep into the chicken and turned golden and smoky on the spit. Then our creamy and spiced sauces, layered through every level rather than poured on top. Together, they are the taste people come back for.

Good to know

Doner & shawarma, answered

Is doner kebab the same as shawarma?

They are close relatives. Both use meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie and sliced thin. Shawarma is usually rolled in thin bread with garlic sauce, while Berlin-style doner is typically served in a thicker flatbread with more salad and several sauces. Recipes vary from shop to shop.

Why is it called Berlin doner?

Doner in bread became one of Berlin’s best-known street foods in the early 1970s, when cooks in the city’s Turkish community began serving it in flatbread with salad and sauce. Several Berlin cooks have been credited with the idea.
