Order halal food in Berlin: fresh and Turkish, delivered

Berlin has halal food on every street corner — especially in Neukölln, Kreuzberg and Wedding. Yet the question 'what are we eating tonight?' is no easier to answer there. Eating out or ordering in is always an option, but then you eat hot for right now, not for the whole week.

At Yasemin we cook fresh, 100% halal Turkish dishes every week and deliver them in Berlin too. Not a takeaway for tonight, but fresh meals you keep in the fridge and heat up in a few minutes.

Halal food in Berlin: where is it?

• Neukölln and Sonnenallee: the best-known concentration of Turkish and Arab bakeries, butchers and eateries.
• Kreuzberg: around Kottbusser Tor and the Maybachufer market you will find fresh Turkish products and hot dishes.
• Wedding and Moabit: neighbourhood spots, often less touristy and more keenly priced.
• Mitte, Charlottenburg and around Alexanderplatz: lots of restaurants and cafés, but halal is clearly scarcer.

So the options are there, but they cost you time every single time — and it is almost always food for right now, not for the week.

Delivery service or fresh meals for the week?

A delivery service solves one evening. Fresh meals in the fridge solve the whole week: you heat up whenever it suits you, you throw away less and you know exactly what you are eating.

What makes Turkish cuisine different?

• Pide (Turkish bread with toppings), lahmacun (thin Turkish pizza) and gözleme (savoury filled pancake).
• Turkish soups (çorba), such as the classic lentil soup.
• Sulu yemek: stews with meat, vegetables and rice. More about it in Turkish hot lunch with soup and sulu yemek.

Fresh, never frozen

Most ready meals are frozen meals. We prepare chilled and deliver chilled, so taste and texture stay the way they should. Also read whether Turkish food is healthy.
