Reviews:
Yesil Firin might look like a slightly upgraded version of the standard Turkish Imbiss (that is, fast food place), with its Doener Kebap grill. They always say that first impressions are important, and Yesil Firin is clean, has quick and cordial service, and fresh, not outrageous design. The food itself is an advanced version of the Turkish fast-food restaurant: you have your Doener and grilled meat, but also salads, first courses, Turkish stews that taste as if you mother might have made them (if she were Turkish and knew how to cook, that is), desserts, and even breakfasts with kiddie-menus.
On top of all of that, Yesil Firin is also highly affordable: a meal of three first courses, two main courses and lots of drinks cost 27 EUR including service; you can get a full meal (from the Ayran, through soup, grilled meat with salad and all the way to the rice-pudding dessert) for as little as 9.99; and a "daily special" stew with rice/chips and salad for 5 EUR.

Fodor's recommend this restaurant:
"Among the myriad Turkish restaurants in the city, Defne stands out for its exquisitely prepared food, the near-perfect warm service, the tasteful setting, and an authentic atmosphere. Beyond simple kebabs, the fresh and healthy menu here includes a great selection of hard-to-find fish dishes from the Bosphorus, such as acili ahtapot (spicy octopus served with mushrooms, olives, onions, garlic, and bell pepper in a white wine and tomato sauce)."

On the Boston Globe, Rachel Nolan writes about the best places for brunch in Berlin:
"Sitting outdoors is a big part of the Kreuzberg brunch experience: Locals encouraged by heat lamps indulge well into the winter, sipping "milchkaffee," a bowl of foamed milk and coffee, through the gap between their hat and scarf, with their dog wrapped around their feet. [...] While taking in the scene don't miss the couscous salad or the spiced spinach- and cheese-stuffed mushrooms."
