Hasir

The Aygün family's Turkish restaurant on Maaßenstraße: meze, grilled dishes and döner, halal, open daily until 1 am.

Hasir means straw mat, and the Aygün family runs several restaurants in Berlin under that name. It all began in Kreuzberg. Mehmet Aygün is considered one of the men who, in the early seventies, moved döner meat from the plate into bread, though he is not the only one to make that claim.

The restaurant on Maaßenstraße is a block from Winterfeldtplatz and decorated with murals and blue tiles. The menu has Turkish meze, grilled dishes and döner, all halal. It is open every day from ten in the morning until one at night.
