Overview
- The planned branch is at Karl-Liebknecht-Straße 13 in Berlin-Mitte near Alexanderplatz, with storefront posters visible since January, according to local reporting.
- Outlets report the opening is aimed for spring 2026, though no exact date has been set.
- Lukas Podolski is again partnering with restaurateur Metin Dag, following years of collaboration and a joint book released in late February.
- A prior Mangal franchise on Kottbusser Damm in Kreuzberg closed after roughly eight months despite an initial rush and a free-döner promotion with Berlin musician Ski Aggu.
- Mangal, founded by Podolski in 2018 with its first site in Cologne, says it has more than 50 locations in Germany, and earlier cited signed cooperation contracts with Kaufland for a Berlin location targeted for 2025/26, with no confirmed connection to the new site.
