Customer Reviews

"This Doner spot is AMAZING!!! They have beautiful artwork all around the restaurant with an elegant orange couch that goes across the restaurant for dining. The staff is so cool and professional, I have been here many times now and they are always kind and friendly! My last order was a to go order and he was so humble he skipped the tip portion saying you're all good but of course I still did cash. Wonderful people wonderful food! I'm middle eastern and I know what authentic Doner kebab is, from Germany and Turkey, this spot does an amazing job representing these authentic hot spots for it! I definitely recommend ordering food from here to support them and your stomach will thank you right back, keep being amazing! Big love!"

"Very good sandwich from Germany/Turkey . , It is similar to your typical shawarma sandiwch but bread is different. They have shawarma here too if you want that. Sandwich is thick. Maybe 2 1/2". Chicken, lettuce, cabbage and sauce in every bite. Just the sandwich is enough for one person, you don't need a combo like me."

"Tried Doner Shawarma yesterday and it definitely hit the spot! The portions were generous, the flavors were bold, and everything tasted fresh. The meat was well seasoned and juicy, and the garlic sauce was spot on. The place was clean, and service was quick and friendly. We'll be back for sure!"

"Food is so good, I do not care about anything else. If you are getting the Doner kabob, make sure it is with their special bread and not the wrap. Best Doner kabob I have had in the US and closest to the real one. And best part, food is not salty, you might even want to add a bit of salt (this might vary from time to time though)"

"First time here, got carrot with sauces on side so the bread would stay in tact like I've seen in other reviews . They were out of chicken so I hit the beef Doner, the portions were awesome whole different style and vibe. My only complaint was the bread still crumbles 2 bites in and with sauces added the bed was still pretty dry. All in all still not bad will try the chicken might be more satisfying for me I'll give it this beef one a seven out of 10. The fries they were soggy but tasty ."
