About this spot
Kaplan serves up massive, charcoal-grilled kebabs that are thick enough to slice with a cleaver rather than scissors. The meat is seasoned deeply with cumin and paprika, standing out against the crisp, buttery pide bread that locals often prefer over standard flatbread.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Schnitzel' option for a crispy pork cutlet if you want to try something beyond traditional kebab.
- Bring cash only; this Neukölln staple frequently turns off its card terminal during peak lunch rushes.
- Ask for extra pickles on the side, as the vinegar crunch cuts through the rich, fatty meat.
