More or less, it&#8217;s a Turkish gyro sandwich usually made with lamb.  The Berliner&#8217;s spin on it, comes by way of Germany, where doner is hugely popular, and it&#8217;s served on fladenbrot, a seeded flatbread not unlike focaccia. The Berliner offers both lamb and chicken and the menu includes a number of vegetarian sandwiches and salads as well. The regular sandwiches go for about $7.50 with a small coming in at $4.19. Full <a href=\"http:\/\/berlinerseattle.com\/theberliner.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">menu is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So how was it? Really good. The picture says it all, it&#8217;s fresh and made once ordered. The lamb is sliced off the spit thinly and is balanced by the crunch and freshness of the cabbage\/lettuce mix.  The garlic yogurt sauce is indeed garlicky. The doner above was a late night (but served at 11 a.m.?) Berliner with lamb and special sauce.  While the regular comes on the fladenbrot, the small size comes on a pita, which holds up well to the yogurt sauce all the way to the last bite.  <\/p>\n<p>We visited the Pioneer Square shop, across from where Elliot Bay Books used to be before they moved.  There&#8217;s also a location in South Lake Union. In Pioneer Square, they&#8217;re only open until 7 pm, which is a shame on the weekends. I&#8217;m sure they could do killer business with the bar crowd.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/2012\/02\/07\/the-berliner\/berliner-sign_\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6439\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/berliner-sign_.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"berliner sign_\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter size-full wp-image-6439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/berliner-sign_.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/berliner-sign_-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Berliner<\/strong><br \/>\n221 1st Ave. South<br \/>\nSeattle, WA<br \/>\n206-838-0339<\/p><!-- Start GADSWPV-3.6 --><center><div id=\"ga_29466488\"> <\/div><div style=\"text-align:right; width:300px; padding:5px 0;\">\r\n   <img src=\"https:\/\/dailywaffle.com\/stage1\/wp-content\/plugins\/trx_addons\/components\/lazy-load\/images\/placeholder.png\" data-trx-lazyload-src=\"https:\/\/bcdn.grmtas.com\/images\/gourmetads-logo.jpg\" alt=\"logo\" style=\"float:right; border:none;\" \/>\r\n   <div style=\"width:auto; padding:4px 5px 0 0; float:right; display:inline-block; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#333;\">\r\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gourmetads.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Food Advertisements\" style=\"text-decoration:none; color:#333;\">Food Advertisements<\/a> by\r\n   <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/center><!-- End GADSWPV-3.6 -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last few days have been completely amazing in Seattle.
