Doner Kebab: How The Turkish Dish Came To Germany
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2021
- The doner kebab is one of the most popular snacks in Germany, but it originates in Turkey. So how did the kebab find its way to Germany and became so successful?
There are differences between Turkish and German kebabs. In Turkey, it’s often served with rice and vegetables on a plate. However, Germans usually like to have their kebab in pita bread stuffed with vegetables and topped with different sauces. Several Turkish immigrants claim to have invented the German version - the “Döner”.

Greetings from Turkey to Germany. Döner in Turkey is actually more concentrated on meat, your döner versions seems a lot more colorful and I'm sure they are very tasty too !
Döner is Junk food
🇹🇷♥️🇩🇪
nasıl bir yavşaklık seviyesi lan bu?
I don't know why someone would argue doner is originated in Berlin. Doner itself is a Turkish word that means rotating.
The Döner is definitely Turkish in origin, but it's argued that how it's served and prepared now happened in Berlin :)
@@DWFood
Yes, the concept of Döner kebab as a fastfood chain was invented in Germany by turkish immigrants, the recipes mostly from Turkey, mixed ingredients from many Countries, the grill and equipments from Germany. That's it
@@Jamirio so ist es !
Und nicht anders !
@@Jamirio The grill is from Turkey and so is the equipment it´s a Turkish food simple as !
@@DWFood you mean put in between bread with vegetables? What do you think Turks were doing for hundreds of years? We have photographic evidence of 19th century of street vendors in Istanbul.
If I throw garlic sauce on curry wurst in Istanbul, does it make it suddenly a Turkish invented dish?
no we have döner like the one in germany, also it originated in bursa not istanbul. mostly its either sold as a sandwich or wrapped in flatbread actually. the one served on rice is not that common.
I was about to say the same thing. 8 out of 10 döner meals eaten in Turkey are prepared as wraps. Even in the video, when the German guy is sitting in a döner restaurant, that red place named Öncü is a quite big fast food chain based around selling chicken döner with sauce in a wrap.
Yes the entire documentary is going along the thought of the German public that it´s a "German Invention" even though bread originated from the Middle East and so did Döner but Turks were not able to put it into bread until a Turk emigrated to Germany it´s absolutely ridiculous and even in the picture they showed when the self proclaimed "Döner Historian" spoke you could see there was no place to sit so where would they put the food ? Not on a plate that´s for sure !
I am a German, and I am sure that the Turks have eaten döner meat in some form of bread before. So basically a Döner kebab.
However it happened. I ate countless döner kebabs in my life and I am a happier person for it =)
@@StrongKickMan Döner in bread is from the capital city Ankara. Those German-Turks, claiming döner is their creation lie, because they want to make money with patent.
I was stationed in Germany 🇩🇪 for four years when I was in the military and the döner kebab shops were the go-to places for a quick and cheap meal. The fries were just crispy enough and delicious too! I miss those days!
come over here again i will serve you a good döner kebab
Baumholder?
It originated in Turkey. It was already being served on bread too or you could enjoy it on a plate.
Also served as gyro in Greece and Syria as sharma before Germany even entered in the picture
@@Willxdiana çevirme is Turkish
Turks make this food for hundreds of years, first it was cooked horizontally, than in the Turkish city of Bursa, it was made vertically because they discovered this way the juices stay on the meat instead of dripping on the fire. In Erzurum city in Turkey the first horizontal way is still being made and it's very good, too.
Lol you're spamming this under every comment
@@appleslover I am waiting for the historical information you have about doner unless you are a racist 💩 who just hates the Turks.
kebab originally persian's food not turkish
@@Alghi451 People from Iran come to Turkey to eat kebab, they are all welcome.
When fat drips onto the coals it produces a very pleasant smoky taste and carcinogens a little bit too.
It's kinda concerning how many Germans I've met who are convinced that döner is a German invention. And NO döner between bread is not a German thing. It's centuries old lol. Döner both served on a plate in restaurants. But its also sold as a bread sandwhich.
Bro my grandfather used to bring me to a döner place that his grand father would bring him, wed always get the same döner in between Turkish bread, topped with salad etc
Constant turkish coping
@@functhefucc5798 lol trying to culturally appropriate someone esles food because you have nothing edible, and calling it coping when you're called out on it.
Cry more homie
@@godofchaoskhorne5043 butthurt turks are the funniest
always so convinced of their superiority while crying racism
@@godofchaoskhorne5043 Turks stealing Greek cuisine and then make money off of it.
@@godofchaoskhorne5043 How is it cultural appropriation when turkish immigrants were the ones to open up restaurants and fast-food stands, offering turkish (fast-)food? I'm german myself and I agree that turkish cuisine is far superior to german cuisine overall, however saying we have "nothing edible" is a bit harsh and uncalled for, don't you think?
I miss germany, was stationed there over a decade ago. Will go back someday. The doner is definitely a great thing to eat, only a few euro and it definitely hit the spot every time.
In Turkey, they also have a version called tombik döner, which is similar to a döner kebab, where the döner is put in bread instead of on a plate.
In Turkish there is a saying something like... Horse belongs to who ride it, sword belongs to who hold it is so...
Döner belongs to who eat it))) Bon appetite to everyone and enjoy your döner.
The dillema is this: the döner meat in Turkey is soooo much better BUT they don't use sauce like Cacık and you can't pick the ingredients on your own. The best döner would be German-Turkish style with meat from Turkey
You can ask for caçik, yogurt is an integral part of many turkish dishes
It's great to see a look into the history, something I researched myself years ago. Like many places in the world, the Doner has taken a journey to different versions. In Canada, you see it called Shawarma which is usually more of a Syrian/Lebanese style, and the origin of the word Shawarma comes from the Turkish word Cevirme- to turn. Then we have the Greek version called the Gyro. Mexico has the Taco Pastor which they adapted from Lebanese migrants. We even have the likes of David Chang trying to use the method of grilling meat as it rotates making some Korean-style meat. One thing in Canada that people on the East Cost in Newfoundland - Nova Scotia like is this super sweet white sauce that in my opinion is awful and masks the taste but the drunk evening eaters love it. Obviously, it's just a filler for them as their taste buds are dead by 2am drinking. The Iskender kebab which you see in the video in Turkey is the one on the plate placed on top of bread with some butter drizzled on top and some yogurt on the side is the one that I enjoy the most, but it's not cheap and not for the everyday meal like they have in Germany or the rest of the world. Enjoy your kebab!
Does Iskender kebab derive from the Albanian prince's name, Iskander bey?
@@freudvibes10 No he was a restaurant owner from Bursa who had the last name of Iskender and he took the spit which was laying down as in Cag kebab ( from Erzurum) and put it up like you see. today. The family still has many restaurnats in Turkey and produce their own meat yogurt, butter, tomato sauce they use in their restaurants
@@AydinProductionsLtd : thanks for the detailed information! Wish you the best!
Thank you for your awesome insights into kebab history :)
Here in the Philippines, shawarma is more well known than doner kebab. Shawarma is one of my favorite street food.
The most memorable experience of my visit to Germany was the kebabs. The kebabs were so delicious it was practically what I ate every night on my 4 day stay 🤤
🤣 Fair play!. They taste amazing!.
Is it Halal...?
@@ahmadmann5803 if you stick to turkish ones
@O.G Autistler I don’t know a single Turkish Restaurant that sells them non-halal
@O.G Autistler There is a heavy Turkish population there who eats halal.
3:59 "he always cuts the meat with a knife" ah yes, I am also a freak and I always eat with my mouth
Most döner shops in Germany now have a rotating robot-like slicer that does the job automatically, this was his point.
pls don't :D
@@guzelmarmara der gerät?
I am from Malaysia. In 2001 I followed a 4-month course at DSE Manhheim. During that period I had the opportunity to visit several places including Frankfurt, Berlin, Boon. In all those places, when I'm hungry, doner kebab is the choice to fill my stomach. It satisfies my taste.
Around 2018 I went to Turkey several times. More specifically, to Isparta. Kebabs are everywhere in Turkey. Delicious and appetizing.
However, for me, as an outsider, Doner Kebab German is closer to my heart. The way the German doner kebab is presented, very practical, not excessive, and among the cheapest food in Germany.
Just my opinion.
In turkey doner kebab is not served in plate, doner is not even considered as kebab, what that guy had looked like a iskender more then a doner
Stealing ottoman dishes and history typical Europeans
It's Turkish btw
Never even heard of this til I went to Germany. Was there a week. Ate it 2 sometimes 3 times a day. So cheap and so good
2-3 kebabs a day. Champion...
Not all heros wear capes
Its also more healthy than most other fast food
claiming that Turkish doner is served in plate but, German doner is served as sandwich is complete bs. just admit that most consumed fast food in Germany is a Turkish dish.
I like how a couple of Germans were like "yeah, maybe Doner was started in Germany." Lol yeah. Right. Just like how Volkswagen cars started being made in Turkey!!
It's absolutely from Turkey originally, but the German döner is a spin on the OG version 😁😁
@@DWFood it was created by a Turkish immigrant worker, just on german ground. Why does Germany get all the credit for it's existence if it was invented by a turk who brought it from turkey??
It's widely acknowledged as a food brought from Turkey, by Turks, that assumed its form as the 'döner' in Germany. Most Germans would absolutely acknowledge that
@@Lynn4 Because the west always has to create division, hate and tension between nations.
@@Lynn4 Because it was probably made to suit German’s palate… it’s like how hard shell tacos are American despite tacos coming from Mexico. Slight changes make a difference, so you can’t claim it as the original, but we all still recognize where the food originally came from.
I am amazed that a German woman seriously assumes a Berliner invented having kebab in a bread. Turks have everything in plate or bread version. From fish to kokoreç
It's just, having it in a bread is a cheap street version. A good kebab is astonishing on plate with some sides. So people enjoy it more like that.
Turkish people literally eat everything with bread. They're crazy for thinking that the turks never had the idea to put kebap meat into bread, before arriving in Germany.
With "Berliner" she means Kadir Nurman.
Constant turkish coping
Syrians and Greeks doing sharma and gyros before this doner kebab Berlin thing even happen. They have to fight it out with Turks. I don’t even know how Germans enter the picture and claim ottoman dishes and history.
Europeans Stealing history as always
@@functhefucc5798
German coping.
Döner is turkish,from turkish people.
Yes l from Ankara, center of Turkiye. Doner Kebab is Turkish food. It has a lot of varieties. You can want in plate, in bread, in wrap bread. You can eat as fast food, or slow food :-) , it is your choice ...
I dont think there is any German contribution to döner ,it was only the Turkish immigrants who improvised it for the local taste , sorry but it is just a Turkish success story.
Doner kebabs are popular in the UK but it's hard to get anything decent. A German company has opened a few stores in London and they are really good (German style). Best kebab I ever had was in Tokyo.
@@yourdavey6531 I'm a warrior that slays vegans
I find GDK can be hit and miss with the quality and their whole mcdonaldsy corporate chain vibe also detracts from the experience. For the real thing, I recommend Tavuuk's Gemüse Döner on Bateman Street in Soho, London. They're very good and there's now another one round the corner from them on Dean Street called Checkpoint but I haven't tried theirs yet.
Here in Canada in Halifax (which is in a province called Nova Scotia) the donair (that's how it's spelled here) got so popular, it was declared the food of Halifax... very interesting.
You know you could said that Halifax is in the Southeastern part of Canada since most people don't know where is Nova Scotia if they aren't Canadian. But yeah, it interesting how far this Mediterranean dish had travel. Used to eat them back in Saigon when I was a kid and thought it was some strange variant of Banh Mi. Delicious stuff
When I went to Germany my frienf was so excited to show me döner, and I was like "oh yeah, I have that all the time. On pizza too!"
And she was like...almost deflated, I felt kinda bad, it was like ... she didn't realize it existed outside of Germany and the Middle East
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dan F.....I know where Nova Scotia is....Anne Murray hails from there, and a college professor of mine who I'd always assumed was a native Californian. In his obituary, I discovered he was Canadian, lived in the same suburb as The Beach Boys and was a year older than Brian. They may have crossed paths or even known each other.
Lol donair sounds like a bad basketball movie. Just use original spelling for the love of god.
Very popular here on Switzerland 🇨🇭. Most every small pizza place serves Donner as well.
Is this the Swiss dialect version of English?
My Brother lives in Switzerland but He always complains that the Döner there is Not the same. Different Country and different taste i guess
same here in luxembourg 🇱🇺 :)

So geil wie man ein Türkisches Wort "Döner" (Rotierend) aufsagt, und im selben Satz "Ich glaube es ist Deutsch" vor allem die Dame bei 0:40 😅
Im Brot = Standard* und das gab es schon vorher in der Türkei.
Auf dem Teller = Iskender und das gibt es auch hier in Deutschland ;)
* Nennt man in der Türkei Dürüm, gibt es hier auch.
Ist trotzdem das selbe! wäre wie wenn ich einfach eine Weißwurst mit Brötchen serviere statt mit einer Bretzel und behaupte das ich es erfunden hätte und nicht die Bayern.
Es geht um die Wurst und nicht das Brot, genau wie beim Döner die Zubereitungsart (Rotierend) das wichtige ist und nicht das Brot.
Egal so oder so Lasst es euch Schmecken
Aber Döner in der Kaisersemmel ist Deutsch.😛
@@hansmuller3604 Dann ist die Currywurst im Fladenbrot = Türkisch? Geile Logik :D
As a Turk, I love Germans. I know history that Turkey and Germany has always been best friends since Prussian times (1750).
Yalamayi birak, adamlar Türk yemeklerine cöküyor. Gikiniz cikmiyor
the og doner kebab guy shows a way he creates the sandwich - the way he does it, with yoghurt base and parsley and onion salad, is very much something more akin to what we find in turkey.
Alles schön bunt und aufregend und lecker.
In Zambia we call it sharwama. It's rare to find grilled meat. Chicken kebab is the most common. But it's delicious.

I had a lot of those delicious kebaps during my 2 years in Frankfurt am Main, they're so good!
Here in Mexico we got “Tacos al pastor” also from a middle eastern inmigrant
Interesting! Thanks.
Oh I didn't know that!
Shawarma, gyros, döner kebab, pastor all have the same roots :-) It's just about nuances in types of meat and spices and herbs, fine tuned to the local people's taste.
they come to mexico at ottoman times. so taco is copy of Turkish döner kebab. btw we not always eat on plate the guy saying lie or not wanna show it. most people eating with bread.
And Tacos al pastor is so much better than Döner!!
Koca dw istanbula gitmiş ve döner için ekmek arası yok diyor hahah
Döneri ekmek arası da isteyebilirsiniz ki
biz Türkler çocukluğumuzda ekmek arası dendiğinde direkt döner anlardık ayrıca döner demeye gerek kalmadan çünkü en küçük mahallelerimize kadar yayılan dükkanlarımız vardı.
Dönerinizi ekmek arasında tombik içerisinde dürüm olarak ve bu videoda ki gibi pilav üstü olarak bulabilirsiniz
Almanyada yaptığınız dönerin bir çeşiti içine farklı malzemeler koyulunca farklı bir şey olmuyor.
I used to get these while at University in Oxford. There were amazing!! Although, they were spicy so I imaging that was an Indian recipe addition. In any event, Doner kebabs are nothing but love in food format! Too bad I haven't seen any where I am in the USA... Just in NYC. Great video!
They weren't the same! British Doners are terrible compared to the German ones. Need to get yourself to Germany!
It's true - German döners are miles better than the British ones 😉

The last time I was in Hamburg, I tried a plated Doner Kebab with bread, rice and all the sauce that I wanted. Because it looked small in the picture. But when it came, OMG, the serving was I think good for 2-3! And it tasted so good! I wasn't able to eat it all.
I am surprised many Germans still don't know it's a Turkish dish. The German one is just Subway'ized version. Within this century Döner will be the number one fast food on the world.
I feel like if this was an hour long i would have watched it. I was sad when it ended 😂
Thank you for your kind feedback! we're happy you love Döner history as much as us!
Best ones for me are iskender kebab and beyti kebab
As a Turk myself I prefer the doner kebabs in Australia where I grew up. The meat they use in Turkey is as you can see more authetnic but I just enjoy the beef they use in Australia more. However, nothing comes close to tavuk durum (Chicken kebab meat) that they serve in Turkey ontop of rice, it's so good sometimes I just day dream about it.
I had both Turkish and German döner. To be honest, Turkish döner is far superior because of the high quality meat.
Its funny because german Döner is mostly served by Turks.
@@liqiz1755 yea but the quality of Döner meat in Germany isn't good.
@@mdrafiqul2898 its okay, your opinion. I think you should test in future maybe again, but well its your decision. :)

0:57 actually this is not true. I never eat döner like this in Turkey. Mostly We put döner in turkish bread. This type of döner is not common. But I know some places sell it like this but not common.
Doesnt matter where the debate goes for its origins,
Matter of facts remains on eating and enjoying every bit of doner kebab... ❤
it's cool how combing two different cultures can make a great dish without necessarily taking away from the originals.
I still prefer the Turkish one, the best.

For polish people kebab is a part of daily life, you can get kebab anywhere, big city, small town, village, i got kebab like 2km away from me while living on countryside, in 8k resident city near me you got 4 of them.
Everyone has his own favourite version of it, some choose chicken, some mutton, some mix. Some choose mild sauce, some spicy, some mix. And oh boy Pita, Tortilla, Bun!

I think it's nice that our national dish is an adapted version of a dish from another part of the world. That is how integration should work, make something new that is beloved.
Firstly, the german national dish isn't kebab. Secondly, the turks are the ones who should integrate not the other way around.
@@guywholikesbreathing1263
thirdly, we aren’t adapting to Turkish culture.
Forth, Döner is extremely common, 700 million+ are sold each year, so every German eats around 8.5 Döners a year. You may as well call it a national dish.

This discussion completely overlooks the other varieties found in the former Ottoman Empire like Greek gyros and Lebanese Shawarma.

It is definitely from Turkey. But it has German versions.
So that means that the hot dog is from Germany because the US used the german sausage or what does your twisted logic imply?
@@user-yx5pd7yi8o It is not about logic it is about facts. Please don't be ignorant. Even döner is turkish and not german. Why is it so difficult to understand that döner is originally Turkish but later reinvented by turkish immigrants in germany?
@@siyahbeyaz9527 It's about that logic yes. I mean i don't call the hot dog german just because the americans used a german sausage. For that reason i don't call the Döner (like it is served in Europe) turkish just because the turkish style meat is used.
Nobody says that the Döner style meat is not turkish. That is definitely turkish, but the Döner served like in Berlin is not.
@@user-yx5pd7yi8o So what? Then you can claim only a certain type of döner. Not döner itself. Döner was not invented in Berlin. Some people wrongly believe that. The truth is that it was adapted according to German taste. But thats all. It is still döner, and not something else. Otherwise why do you continue to call it döner? It should not be so difficult to understand.

5:36 Wait - tell me MORE!
The German version is absolutely delicious, we are bit jealous on Germans in the Netherlands . Believe or not sometimes we drive all the way to Düsseldorf for döner kebab 😅👌
You dont need to go all the way to Düsseldorf, Baran in Elten, just across the border on the A12/A3 is pretty good
You telling me it's not easy to find in the Netherlands? That's weird. Here in Portugal, in the bigger cities, you can find them everywhere.
@@jeanlundi2141 it is definitely common in the Netherlands but I think he means it is not as good. I've heard they use minced meat at some places so yeah makes sense
Top any sandwich from anywhere on earth with a wet, slimy cabbage salad so now it's easier to ask "is it German now?". Falafel faces the same destiny in these days. Even some Vietnam and Thai restaurants top certain dishes with krautsalat...
The Germans did not find the doner with bread, so we eat it with bread. There are also varieties without bread.
After several generations, people forget where certain foods come from because they evolve to please the local bud tastes. I remember watching a show about Americans living abroad where these college-age students living in the Netherlands had a party and served their friends "American (as in the USA) Food." That was Mexican tacos and pizza. We were like, really? They were appropriating those two foods as American.
It depends on what kind of 'mexican tacos' and pizza they were referring to, hard shell tacos are mexican-american and many pizza variants sold internationally are imitating US style: as opposed to Neapolitan.
Not to mention that someone calling a dish "American food" doesn't mean it originated in the United States.
@@goosenuggets9693 - I don't know about the pizza, but the tacos were soft, and do-it-yourself Buffett style. They didn't look very authentic at all, but they were in Europe and it might be difficult to get the Mexican seasonings there. 🤣
One only needs to.look at dishes in Italy before and after Columbus. Several ingredients associated with various current regions never existed before 1492. Interesting how Italians disliked the recipes and flavor combinations of the tribes in the Americas, but then created dishes with tomatoes, potatoes, and corn that are thought to be thoroughly Italian. The French have pilfered from other countries, changed a recipe a little or not at all, slapped a French name on it and voila! Everyone from then on assumed that food item was invented in France.
@@msr1116 - In total agreement. You take away the tomatoes, the potatoes, and the corn from the Europeans, and a lot of their dishes would not exist.
I watched a European cooking show and the new thing there is "Kale." In another show, a young woman was peeling an avocado with a potato peeler. 🤣
Pretty dumb that people in Germany would not know where doner kebab comes from. It is a widespread dish in the eastern Mediterranean. Gyros in Greece, Doner Kebab in Turkey, Shawarma in the Levant regions. All prepared on a spit in the same way, with some variation of meat type.
But all of their origin is Doner Kebab from Turkey.
We know that the style of the meat is from Turkey but there is a good chance that the meat in the bread was invented from a turk in germany. Germany is the Land of the bread.
@@sollytrotz6056 Bro what you are saying is not true. Turks have been eating doner with bread and lavash since the invention of it. Don't need to mention Anatolia has been known for its wheat and bread since ancient Anatolian civilizations like Hittities. Turkish people really like eating bread with literally anything. Especially meat and especially kebap. As Turkish döner is one delicious type of kebap wrapping it or put the meat into the bread has always been most popular way to eat döner in Turkey. Go and see old person in Turkey go ask him if he had eaten döner with bread before Turks migrated to Germany.
Exactly, no german knows where Döner Kebab is originally from *sarcasm...obv*. It's pretty dumb of you to assume something so overgeneralizing only based off of this video. It's served primarily in turkish (fast-food) restaurants, so no one is under the impression that it's a uniquely german dish.
@@muharremtgt1588 Apparently people before turkish invasion didnt eat these foods. Be for real😂
First girl saying döner has a lot variety looks Turkish and is so cute
Even at the risk that some will hate me here now BUT..... even the Kebab was "imported" to Turkey. The Blue Turks brought it with them from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Western India ;-)
The name comes from turn around. Döner = return ( Return Kebab ) / Turkish name is Döner Kebap 👌😉
Ma'am please check your English translation! DONER does not mean RETURN in Turkish. DONER means ROTATING, TURNING or SPINNING in Turkish.

Fun fact: Doner kebab was first made in Northern Pakistan and the armies of the conquering Alexander the Great brought it back to Macedonia, Greece and Turkey where it became very popular
I would also add that some people even claim that kebab come from Greece. In France, we often call that "un grec" (a Greek).
bratwurst, kebab, we can all agree that food can stop fighting between races.
In UK we have wagyu beef doner kebab
nice to see the doner party lives on
Not only Germany but all around the World
I’m nearly 50 and when I was a child we were eating doner in bread like sandwich, so it was not invented in Berlin or by a Berliner. Turkish food and all types are found in Turkiye.

I first had a Shawarma while in Saudi Arabia, in 1991, made a little differently depending on the location I was at. When arriving back in the United States I looked for them in the Midwest where I was stationed and from. Closet thing was the Greek Gyros. But then in 1992 I got stationed in Germany and was introduced to the Turkish Doner Kebab, which was nearly exactly like the Saudi Arabian Shawarma! Besides the wonderful German food, the Doner Kebab was the next favorite!!
Shawarma comes from the Turkish word Çevirme which has a similar meaning to Döner (Rotating) in Turkish.

Kebabs 🤤
The German style kebab is hard to match. I like going to Turkish restaurants to eat their original dishes but growing up in Germany with a broad variety of decent kebabs, I prefer this version. I remember the first place I’ve bought a kebab was owned by an Arabic guy using veil and didn’t use red cabbage. As a child it was a bit odd but today I’d love to get this guy back from the metal factory to reopen his store.
I would say the Turkish version is better but to each their own.
I would kill for a doner kebab right now, where I live in the US I have to drive 1.5 hours to eat one.
I am 50% german and 50% turk.
Love donner i do eat this in vienna & clgne😋Yum
Whole of europe eats doner kebabs now
The quality of Döners varies a lot. There are some extremely nasty Döner places but also some quite fancy ones.
Rule of thumb is generally: you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t buy a Döner at a place that sells theirs for under 5€ maybe even more.
İt depend a lot but good döner is usually fresh imo there are many type of bread mainly the half round shaped (pide), the flatbread (yufka) and the ciabata for a döner but freshly backed and cooked in the stone oven are the best ones.
It’s especially awesome if you want your rear end to explode. I prefer the hotdogs at the train stations chains.
Over 22 years ago I had my first Doner Kebab when I was with the US Army, my mouth is watering from watching this video, I may have even finished!
