About this spot
Leylak in Neukölln serves up authentic Turkish comfort food where the meatballs (köfte) are simmered until they fall apart and the yogurt sauce is tangy enough to cut through the rich lamb. The kitchen operates with a relaxed, neighborhood vibe that feels like visiting a family home rather than a tourist trap. Locals flock here for the massive portions of stuffed grape leaves (dolma) that come out in heaping piles.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the meze platter first to sample multiple small dishes before committing to a main course.
- Ask for extra yogurt sauce on your side if you prefer it thicker or more acidic.
- Save room for the baklava, which is served warm and dusted with plenty of powdered sugar.
