A big Charlottenburg branch with one clear strength
EDEKA Zahl is a branch of the EDEKA chain on Dovestraße, in Charlottenburg, a short walk from Kurfürstendamm station. The sales floor is large, and the first thing you notice is how much of it is given over to fridges and stands rather than a straight run of shelves.
The fruit and vegetable section is the reason to come. It is fresh and properly stocked, and the staff working that part of the shop know the produce and help you pick. The cake counter and the ready-made sandwiches are the other draw, with a range that seems built for the students from the technical university nearby. Bread rolls come out of the bakery, and there is a serviced counter for meat and sausage.
The layout takes getting used to. Refrigerated shelves are scattered rather than lined up, so you walk back and forth to assemble a meal, and promotional stands near the entrance push the actual groceries further back. Checkout queues build up, and the self-checkout tills sometimes sit unattended while you wait for someone to clear a problem.
For a €10–30 basket of fresh produce, sandwiches and cake, this branch does the job, as long as you go in without a fixed shopping list.

Who is this for
This branch suits anyone staying in Charlottenburg who wants fresh fruit, vegetables and a sandwich in the evening, since it stays open until 10 pm on weekdays. It also works for a quick lunch-break run from the offices along Dovestraße, where a cake or a ready-made sandwich is the point rather than a full week's shop.
If you are assembling a picnic or a special meal rather than a everyday basket, Frischeparadies on Morsestraße, about 250 m away, is the place for seafood, fine ingredients and wine.
The verdict
The scattered layout and shelves that stay bare for days mean you cannot count on a specific ingredient, but the fresh produce, sandwiches and cake make it a fair stop for an unfixed basket.
