All 24 Chicken Dishes

Poussin with Morel and XO Sauce

Hallmann & Klee

Neukölln·$$$$

€100.00

Young chicken (poussin) paired with wild morels and a house-made XO sauce for umami depth.

Tip: If you're dining in spring, ask if poussin with morels is on the current menu — it's a seasonal highlight.

Extra Yakitori Skewers

Stoke

Kreuzberg·$$$

€12.00

Additional skewers grilled to order beyond the five-skewer base menu.

Tip: Order extra skewers if you're curious about the night's theme. The kitchen loves upselling and will make anything grillable.

Thai-Style Fried Chicken

Nutts Thai Kitchen

Friedrichshain·$$

€12.00

Crispy fried chicken with aromatic herbs and a drizzle of spicy dipping sauce.

Tip: Order this for sharing among 3-4 people—the pieces are generously sized.

Fried Chicken Sandwich

BRLO Brwhouse

Kreuzberg·$$

€12.00

Crispy buttermilk fried chicken in a soft potato bun with house toppings.

Tip: Check if available — it's best on Sundays as part of the 'Chicken & Beer' pop-up, but sometimes appears mid-week.

Döner with Lava Sauce (Spicy)

Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap

Kreuzberg·$

€6.50

Gemüse Döner with house-made spicy chili sauce instead of regular yogurt sauce.

Tip: If you like spice, request the lava sauce — it's hotter than the yogurt sauce but still balanced. Ask the staff to test the heat level if you're unsure.

Rice Dish with Meat and Vegetables

Hamy Café

Kreuzberg·$

€4.90

Simple steamed rice topped with stir-fried meat and seasonal vegetables, served daily.

Tip: If you want something faster than a soup and lighter than curry, go for the rice dishes — they're equally affordable and arrive in minutes.

Berlin Chicken Fricassee

Prater Garten

Prenzlauer Berg·$$

€24.50

Poached chicken in a rich creamed sauce with white asparagus and capers.

Tip: This is the dish to order in spring — the asparagus transforms it into something seasonal and special.

Coq au Vin

MANON

Charlottenburg·$$$$

€39.00

Chicken braised in red wine with pearl onions, mushrooms, and lardons.

Tip: Perfect for a weeknight indulgence — rich enough to feel special, comforting enough to feel satisfying.

Nasi Lemak

Ma-Makan

Kreuzberg·$$

€10.50

Rice cooked in coconut milk served with sambal, boiled egg, cucumber, and a protein option.

Tip: Nasi lemak is a Malaysian staple — order it if you want to understand the flavor profile of the kitchen. The sambal is made fresh daily and is the key component.

#10

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Ma-Makan

Kreuzberg·$$

€10.00

Poached chicken served over rice cooked in chicken stock and chicken fat, with ginger sauce and soy sauce.

Tip: This is a light, fresh meal — good if you've had heavy foods earlier. The ginger sauce cuts through the richness of the chicken fat rice.

#11

Döner Plate (Sit-Down)

Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap

Kreuzberg·$

€8.00

Gemüse Döner components served on a plate with rice, salad, and bread instead of in pita.

Tip: If you find a spot to sit (there's a nearby park and some standing tables), ask for the döner plated instead of wrapped — the rice and salad make it feel like a complete meal.

#12

Guinea Fowl with Young Green Chilli

Khao Taan

Friedrichshain·$$$

€15.00

Guinea fowl cooked with fresh young green chilies, aromatic herbs, and a light curry broth.

Tip: Mention any dietary restrictions when booking—the kitchen can adapt preparations if given notice.

#13

Thai Chicken Dumplings

Han West

Neukölln·$

€6.50

Hand-pleated dumplings filled with minced Thai chicken.

Tip: Try this if you want less rich filling than pork — the Thai spices are distinct and fresh.

#14

Local Chicken with Marjoram

Nobelhart & Schmutzig

Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg·$$$$

Free-range Berlin-area chicken prepared simply, with fresh marjoram and seasonal root vegetables.

Tip: This dish highlights the value of seating at the counter—the chefs explain their sourcing choices and how ingredients were selected that day.

#15

Chicken Döner

Rüyam Gemüse Kebab

Prenzlauer Berg·$

€7.50

Grilled chicken breast with fresh vegetables and house sauce.

Tip: The chicken is grilled fresh and less heavy than beef — good choice if you want lighter protein.

#16

Döner with Extra Feta

Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap

Kreuzberg·$

€7.50

Standard Gemüse Döner with an extra generous sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese on top.

Tip: Ask for extra feta when ordering — it's a common customization and the staff expect it. The extra feta adds richness and balance.

#17

Hühnerfrikassee (Chicken Fricassee)

Gendarmerie

Mitte·$$$

€24.00

Poached chicken in a silky cream sauce with capers and lemon.

Tip: The real test of a German kitchen — Hühnerfrikassee is either silky or gluey. This one is silky.

#18

Chicken Biryani

Chutnify

Prenzlauer Berg·$$

€14.50

Fragrant rice cooked with marinated chicken and spices.

Tip: The biryani is heavy but flavorful — pairs well with a cooling lassi or beer rather than water.

Half Broiler Chicken with Potato Salad and Coleslaw

Alt-Berliner Wirtshaus Henne

Kreuzberg·$$

€9.40

Organic, milk-fed broiler chicken fried until the skin crackles, served with creamy potato salad and coleslaw.

Curry Soup with Noodles and Chicken

Hamy Café

Kreuzberg·$

€4.90

Aromatic yellow curry broth with tender noodles and chunks of poached chicken, served piping hot.

Gemüse Kebap (Vegetable Döner)

Mustafa's Gemüse Kebap

Kreuzberg·$

€6.50

Döner with grilled and fresh vegetables as the base, topped with chicken kebab meat and secret spice blend.

#2292% recommend

Yakitori Omakase Menu (€75)

Stoke

Kreuzberg·$$$

€75.00

Five rotating yakitori and kushiyaki skewers grilled over Binchotan charcoal, built around a nightly theme.

Chicken Larb

Larb Koi Thai

Friedrichshain·$$

€12.00

Minced chicken salad with lime juice, chilies, fresh herbs, and crispy shallots.

#2488% recommend

Colombo Fried Chicken

Sathutu

Prenzlauer Berg·$$$

€26.00

Crispy fried chicken with Colombo curry spice blend and fresh curry leaves.

Tip: Colombo chicken is rich — pair with plain rice or sambal (chili side) to balance the oil.
