About this spot
Curry 36 stands as the definitive destination for Berlin's iconic currywurst, serving thick, potato-based fries smothered in a tangy ketchup-mustard sauce. Locals line up around the block for their signature 'Original' version, which features a generous portion of fried pork sausage served with crispy onions and pickles. The Kreuzberg atmosphere buzzes with energy as you wait for your order to be assembled tableside.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Original' if you want the classic thick-cut fries and meat combo rather than the thinner 'Classic' style.
- Ask for extra mustard or ketchup on the side, as the house sauce can vary slightly depending on the chef's mood.
- Bring cash only, as this historic spot frequently does not accept credit cards.
