Uh-oh… Currywurst is a German tradition. The best actually comes from Wolfsburg, from the Volkswagen factory. They produce around 30% more than the VW employees can eat and this is then packed and sold in three large supermarket chains.
Having that said, Döner/Kebab/Dürüm etc.are not served in the same restaurants or bistros that offer Currywurst. It is a bit of a cultural clash.
Both types of food are very popular but somehow they don't mix here. Maybe some narrow cuisine sense based on generations of regional traditions
I figured as much, that the döner, pommes, and currywurst wouldn't all be served in the same establishment. This restaurant is run by a German ex-pat and his wife. While the food is very good, it's an eclectic mix of cuisines.
I never realized that currywurst's history was intertwined with that of Volkswagen. Kaiser-Permanente here in the US has a similar history, having become a national HMO with roots as a medical service for a railroad union.
Maybe it is a step forward to drop the old clichés and barriers and just say… "hey, if the food is good, don't bother about the background, just enjoy the taste"

Looks different than what I know.
Is that some sausage with sauce on the left?

Currywurst with a curried barbecue sauce on top. How is currywurst served there?

Here in Sweden, there is no Currywurst at all.
