Really great doner and currywurst! Don't skip the halloumi routine, a delicious twist on a Canadian classic.

I want to like this place and I've given it a couple chances, but it's not authentic Berlin. My wife is from Berlin. I've been many times. The bread on the Döner is not right and the veggies not as good as any in Berlin. I was excited for currywurst, but it should be lighty breaded and deep fried. The curry sauce is good. Also their bier ist von Munich. It's hard to get Berlin bier in Kanada, but there are some brewery here making Berlin weiss. They never get it right. It's supposed to be weak and sour, so you put a sweet shot in it.

I saw the branch at Waterworks before and thought it looked good so stopped by the Kensington Market location. The staff were pleasant and nice enough to bring the food. I had the lamb & veal donair with a side of fries + 15% tip. Came to $27.16. The presentation was good but it was such a pain eating this thing. So messy, and for some reason they brought one napkin and no cutlery. I didn’t really enjoy the taste, fries were dece. Nice area, cool staff, but I won’t be returning.

★★★★★

The price of a veal & lamb + feta comes up to about $19. I was a bit apprehensive yet when i bit into this monster i was 🤯 blown away with taste and layers of texture 🤤 Price is a bit steep even compared to other doner options nearby yet taste is 🔥

★★★★

Decent spot for a bite to eat if your are craving a meat sandwich that different a bit from the ubiquitous Shawarma. Definitely messy to eat, but tasty nonetheless.

★★★★★

I’ve been meaning to try the food here for a while and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The portion sizes were great, staff were friendly and I also got a free glass for ordering a pint (for a promo they were running). Overall definitely stop by here if you’re in Kensington Market and looking for a German-Turkish classic!

My order: Veal and lamb doner with a side of halloumi sticks I had been here in the past (6-7 years ago) and decided to pop in to see if it was as good as I remembered. Turns out, it was even better than I remember! The portion of the doner is really good value and the lamb and veal was so full of flavour this review was getting 5 stars no matter what. Today was my first time getting the halloumi sticks and, while tasty on their own, the aioli they came with put the entire meal over the top and made me wish there was a 6th star I could add to this rating. Will definitely visit again and I'd also like to apologize to my past self for not stopping in sooner!

Located n the middle of Kensington market, Otto s Döner has a welcoming atmosphere, where you will definitely enjoy one of your best Döner Sandwiche. Meat is delicious and well balanced with delicious sauces. Loved it, see you soon.

Since October 2024, a German star chef has been responsible for the kebabs in the store and you can taste it. The man is doing a great job and still has a few perfecting ideas that will be implemented soon. So for a kebab outside of Germany, this is on a high level. The atmosphere is also cool because German music is played (Cro, Zartmann etc.) in December there are special events with mulled wine and hopefully soon there will also be Paulaner Spezi (Club Mate already exists)

Oct 2024 update: this place has a new owner or chef now and the quality of the food has deteriorated. You used to get a lot more toppings (lettuce, tomatoes, red cabbage). I got one last night and it was maybe half what it used to be. They also use less sauce now. I d get all three sauces and I could taste each throughout, but last night the whole thing was dry. There was barely one sauce on it, let alone three. And the dumbest thing of all, they no longer have doner holders (I.e. taco holders). These used to make eating these way more enjoyable and easier. Apparently they took those away because the new chef/owner didn t like it. Totally whack. So yeah this place is kinda crap now which makes me truly sad. Been a customer since they opened, won t be back or recommend it again. My fav quick eat spot in the city. Interior could be a lil nicer, but it is in an old house and that s normal for Kensington so no big deal there. Remember to take an extra napkin though, so some reason they usually only give you one and if you re getting a pita that ain t enough.

★★★★★
November 22, 2024

As a German I can say. The most authentic Döner experience in Canada so far. I gave this place another try after some months and the new changes they apparently made in the way of filling the Döner are game changing, paired with some lovely German music! Finally the focus seems to be on the taste and not only in the presentation ( they used to put way to much lettuce and drizzles on top which made it a messy and unauthentic experience). . Thank you, I will be back.

I was really hyped when I saw this authentic Berlin Döner but as a german I can tell the Döner cant catch up with a real Berlin Döner. First of all it was such a small Döner for such 10 Euros and I got 3 Sauces included to the Döner Chicken, but all I can see was no delicious white or red sauces, I just had some Oil and Vinegar on it, and to be honest the amount of vegetables you put on this small thing is humongous like wtf, I didnt felt like they had it from a traditional Döner Spieß, because the meat pieces were very small and had a weird taste. All in all the Döner wasn t bad but you cant compare it to a Berlin Döner, what the restaurant wants to be known for, Authentic Berlin Döner . And like I said my expectations were really good because inside the decoration was pretty cool and they even played Kraftklub which I liked to be honest, but its just not very good

Im German and have to be honest and say that it wasnt the worst kebab Ive ever eaten, but the only original thing about the kebab was the paper. The meat was not kebab meat and was super greasy. The staff were very nice and the place is cozy, but the music was very loud. All in all, though, it was okay. In Germany we say: Vallah schmeckt nicht.

The place has a new owner and unfortunately does not hold up to any of the high quality standards of a German Döner anymore. They do not cut the fresh, juicy and crispy meat fresh from a rotisserie grill but cut it somewhen during the day and hold it warm for noone knows how long. Moreover, they are also not having fresh home made bread but a dry looking pita. As a German I feel offended by how they are not respecting what a Döner really is.

Overall, I had a really good experience here. I would say the only reason I gave four out of five stars instead of 5 out of 5 was because even though I ate in I still got to takeout package and it was somewhat needless waste that was created because of that. Other than that the food was great. I definitely recommend getting all of the sauces and getting the döner

Since they switched owners wow has the quality gone horrible. Considering I used to work there and I know what a sandwich is supposed to look like/smell like/ taste like from there. Ordered a halloumi sandwich on Uber and they gave me a pile of rotten romaine - like two sprigs of cabbage . Rotting cucumber and tomato but like three tiny diced cubes of each lol. And then refried disgusting inedible fries . Like I m talking so bad the sandwich had to be thrown out it smelt so rotten absolutely disgusting

February 22, 2024

Bread, sauce and veggies are fresh and great. The meat is good quality, however food does does lack consistency and respectful preparation. quantity/thickness of meat cuts are inconsistent, sometimes too little meat, sometimes too thick cuts of the meat. You can tell that theres employees rotating, with some lacking training or experience. The curry ketchup is too complicated which left me kinda disappointed, German curry ketchup is actually very simple to replicate: Ketchup + curry powder stirred together until its a consistent mass. Thats it! Theres no price on great quality, however given the lack of a consistent preparation, Id say charging $14 for a Döner is way too much and youre better off getting a whole shawarma combo at osmows for that money. I would have given 4 stars if they didnt aim for the authentic Berlin experience which they ultimately failed to deliver. - 1 star for lack of consistency - 1 star for claiming what they arent (an authentic Berlin Döner) Overall 3/5...

So far from a Döner in Berlin!! I was hoping to get a little flavor of Berlin back but not in this location. Ordered 2 Döner for takeout. First they rolled the Döner, so non original and than the taste. 80% was Salad and the meat was super dry. The price is $13 per Döner. A modern robbery. Never again!!

December 22, 2023

Very very inconsistent... Was there two times, both visits with different staff members, and... The first doner was amazing, I asked the cashier to be very light on hot sauce, and it was indeed barely noticeable, but still could be tasted. Chicken and vegetables were properly chopped into small pieces. Bread was fried as it should be, just a little crust on the outer side. The second doner was awful. I asked again to be very light on hot sauce, however, the doner was dripping with napalm, it seemed. Also, chicken and veggies were chopped in really large chunks. Chicken was mixed with cartilages and huge pieces of chicken skin. Bread was obviously overroasted, as when I tried to squish the doner it just started cracking. I do not recommend going to this place, as you can never know what type of doner youll get.

I recently ordered the chicken shawarma from this restaurant and was disappointed with the quality of the dish. Instead of the promised meat, my shawarma was filled with cooked vegetables, and the few pieces of meat that were included were dry and chewy. This was a significant decrease in quality from my last order a few months ago. Unfortunately, this experience has left me feeling dissatisfied with the restaurants food, and Im not sure if Ill be returning in the future.

Dry bread, dry tough salty oily flavourless meat(veal+lamb). Not enough veggies. And who puts romaine in a doerner: should be iceberg.

Not at all like the lovely doerner I had in Freiburg and in Berlin.

Well seasoned with lots of fresh vegetables but I would have liked it spicier.

A very nice comparison to a German kebab. Unfortunately I have no experience with Berlin kebab, but it was very similar to the kebab I often ate in Germany! When talking about authentic, you have to remember that it is difficult to compare to another country, especially when the ingredients may have to be slightly different from that country. I definitely recommend! I had a normal kebab with everything, spicy.

Loved discovering the place. A bit on the pricy side for a sandwich, but still worth it. We tried the plate option as well, and it was pretty good , but not as good as the sandwiches. We would certainly be back.

Best doner in the city! Big doner with tons of flavours and lots of fillings, but perfectly seasoned and balanced. The garlic sauce is extraordinary, and love it with the fried halloumi or the greasy fries.

Visited here for a long time ago, so I was expected to visit again. Their beer was good to sip, but foods were under my expectation. There is no difference between Shawarma and Berlin style Donor.

I had a döner with halloumi cheese and lettuce paired with a garlic aioli... And let me tell you, I have never fallen in love so much with a sandwich, its like a fun salad in my mouth! They were very hospitable and it has a nice atmosphere! Definitely recommend!

Purchased 2 chicken doner sandwiches. The meat was very dry and the entire sandwich despite the sauce was not tasty. Not worth the money at $14 per sandwich. Also the ambience of the place is not great. The tables were not clean and we had to clean it before sitting down and the entire place had a foul smell. Better to skip this place due to the below average food taste, unclean ambience and no value for money.

The gentleman with a mask at the front desk was not friendly. Horrible service and attitude. The food was not generously served. Rarely any chicken in the bowl, just lettuce

Unique take on shawarmas. The meat and fillings are great, but the sauces are really what make it, especially the tzatziki/yoghurt sauce! The bread is nice, soft, and easy to hold. Comfy interior too

If you re homesick and missing a German Döner go there. It is for sure not authentic since they lack the right type of salad, white cabbage, and filling. But it is for sure a tasty try of a Döner.

We love ordering lunch from here for our team. It is always a hit, and the portions sizes are great. We appreciate the mix of meat and vegetarian options. The Halloumi Box is a staff favourite! Cant recommend them enough, and the service is also consistently fantastic :) Thank you to the entire team for being our go-to lunch for many years!

This is probably the worst value Ive gotten out of buying a meal in Toronto in my life. I got the chicken teller, small, it cost me $16, and ended up being just a box of greasy fries with wisps of chicken and a sauce drizzled on. The meal was salted in such a way to seem tasty (including possibly MSG), but it was to a harmful degree and the meal had almost zero nutritional value apart from calories. The amount of chicken in the meal ended up being less than a quarter cup (35g, 1.5oz), which is not even a third of what you expect for a dinner at the price point. Its unbelievable how this company chooses to squeeze every last penny out of their food costs and clearly dont actually care about delivering good food as a service. Perhaps I should have gotten the sandwich and at least benefited from a slice of tomato or a cucumber. In a rush, I made a mistake in going there, and I will never go there again.

Overall, I enjoyed the donair I had and it was similar to what I have had in Berlin, albeit this donair was smaller and had fewer ingredients. The donair was tasty though and the Paulaner lager was a good accompaniment. I thought it was expensive for what I had.

Good spot for a unique eat. Highly recommend the halloumi, and as many other posters have stated the food is very fresh and flavourful. My favourite is the chicken teller mixed with halloumi, salad and couscous:) my only recommendation would be more vegetables on top of the Doners/Tellers.

Whenever Im in the area I always make it a point to go here. The Döners are always amazing and I am absolutely hooked. Its also nice that they sell Köstritzer beers as well. A great combo and I highly recommend. Edit: Dropped to two stars because its definitely no longer as good as it was. The meat is so overcooked its burnt. It just has no flavor and it isnt a pleasant eating experience. Keeping at two stars simply because of the halloumi options which I think more places should have.

Food was good but the suggested tip calculations on the receipt is a little dishonest. (See photo) e.g. 15%=$2.87 means they calculated the tip by _including_ the tax. Why should I tip on top of the tax??

Never tried a döner before and I must admit, they were just a delight! Got ours with veal and lamb, shared with my husband but if you re really hungry you can probably finish one of your own. Stop in while touring all the amazing food in Kensington!

There seems to be a bit of a list in translation situation here. While the food is similar to what we ate in Berlin, seasoning is a little heavy handed. And picking a base for a Currywurst? You either get Pomme or Brötchen ON THE SIDE when you get Currywurst in Deutschland, even at the fancy places in Berlin.

I took some friends to this place because in the past we really loved the food and service, but unfortunately this experience was much different. I am not sure what has happened (new owner?) but it is not the same as it was before. There was 5 of us in the group and I m not sure what happened but 3 of us got our food first and my other two friends were completely forgotten about, we waited to eat together for almost 10 minutes before I had to go and ask why my friends orders (who ordered BEFORE us) had not come yet. they seemed confused but said they would get to it. we continued waiting and one of the employees came to our table and proceeded to say we got the orders for x and x (which were the ones the 3 of us had received) I m not sure what she was implying.. that the other two friends were lying or did not pay?? Anyways my friend showed her the receipt and it was only AFTER that did they start making their order. To be clear, we understand- mistakes happen, it s fine- but the way it was dealt with was not ok: - waiting for half an hour for a fast food meal - Instead of getting to the missing orders right away- trying to find the receipt as if the didn t see the two people ordering right BEFORE the other orders that they fulfilled To mention- they did give two free ginger beers as an apology actually it s funny because at first they gave only one and it was only after we asked did they give two like one ginger beer for two orders that went wrong??? but also did not rectify the mistake they made because my friends had ordered a specialty fries ($1 more than regular) but they were only given regular - at that point we didn t complain anymore because they were too hungry and frustrated On another note too- the quality of the food has also gone down - very greasy now I don t like writing negative reviews but this case was one of the worst customer service experiences I ve had at a restaurant.

In the middle of the famous Kensington District, you find a place that suggests an original German Doener and German Currywurst. Unfortunately, they dont live up to their name. The Doener is filled with thick cut Gyros, and the Curry Sauce is more Butter Chicken Sauce than Curry Sauce. Fries were massively oversalted. Too bad. I had hope for some good German comfort food. I got disappointed.

Enjoyed lunch here with some colleagues which was recommended by them. Ordered the small veal and lamb teller box with half fried, half salad and all the sauce! The fries are perfectly thin and crispy which soaks up all the sauce, salad gives it a nice healthy crunch and the meat was perfectly seasoned and super flavourful! Portion size was perfect and the staff was so incredibly friendly and welcoming. Such a great gem in Kensington!
