Istanbul in Berlin: 5 (Great) Cabbie-Recommended Eateries

Disclaimer: What you are about to read is an example of shameless self-promotion. However, if you love to eat, and you love to explore new places through food, it may be worth your while.

A summer of getting into random taxis in Berlin and asking drivers about their favorite places to eat led to what I think are 5 of the best Turkish restaurants in the German capital.

I’ve written about all of these cabbie-recommended spots on this blog, and when my friends visit me in Berlin, I like to take them to all five places and stuff them with Turkish delights, giving them what I call my ‘Istanbul in Berlin’ tour.

Now, thanks to a fancy new app called Rama Food, anyone with an iPhone can take the ‘Istanbul in Berlin’ tour.

Besides showing you where and what to eat, the tour also gives a brief history of the Turkish community in Berlin, shows you how to order each dish in German, and introduces you to the glories of regional Turkish cuisine. (Don’t worry – there’s doener kebab, too.)

And if you’re not in Berlin? Rama Food has enlisted food-obsessed bloggers in 22 cities around the world to share their favorite things to eat. Trust me when I tell you I’d follow their recommendations as enthusiastically as a cab driver’s.

If you’d like to try out my Istanbul in Berlin tour, it’s free to download until May 1.

(Note & Full Disclosure: The Rama app is free to download, and so are the Istanbul in Berlin and the Dubai Ethnic Snack tours. Other Rama Food tours costs between 99 cents and $2.99 – and are worth every penny. I should know…I edited them!)
