Many local foods originated from north German culinary traditions and include rustic and hearty dishes with pork, goose, fish, peas, beans, cucumbers, or potatoes. Typical Berliner fare include popular [[street food]] like the ''[[Currywurst]]'' (which gained popularity with postwar construction workers rebuilding the city), ''[[Frikadeller|Buletten]]'' and the ''[[Berliner (doughnut)|Berliner]]'' donut, known in Berlin as {{lang|de|Pfannkuchen}} ({{IPA-de|ˈp͡fanˌkuːxn̩|lang|De-Pfannkuchen.ogg}}).<ref>[https://www.germanfoods.org/consumer/facts/berlin.cfm Berlin] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140303102248/https://www.germanfoods.org/consumer/facts/berlin.cfm |date=3 March 2014 }} German Foods</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/spicy-sausage-that-is-worthy-of-a-shrine-in-berlin-1772530.html|title=Spicy sausage that is worthy of a shrine in Berlin|newspaper=[[The Independent]]|first=Tony|last=Paterson|date=15 August 2009|access-date=24 August 2017|archive-date=22 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190322143121/https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/spicy-sausage-that-is-worthy-of-a-shrine-in-berlin-1772530.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> German bakeries offering a variety of breads and pastries are widespread.

Berlin is also home to a diverse gastronomy scene reflecting the immigrant history of the city. Turkish and Arab immigrants brought their culinary traditions to the city, such as the [[lahmajoun]] and [[falafel]], which have become common fast food staples. The modern fast-food version of the [[doner kebab]] sandwich which [[Kadir Nurman|evolved in Berlin]] in the 1970s, has since become a favorite dish in Germany and elsewhere in the world.<ref name="WSJ">{{cite news| url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304432704577350194262835880| title=There's Nothing More German Than a Big, Fat Juicy Döner Kebab| author=James Angelos| date=18 April 2012| newspaper=The Wall Street Journal| access-date=6 June 2016| archive-date=30 May 2016| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160530140426/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304432704577350194262835880| url-status=live}}</ref> Asian cuisine like Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Korean, and Japanese restaurants, as well as Spanish tapas bars, Italian, and Greek cuisine, can be found in many parts of the city.
