I'm quite picky with my German Döners, as I've had many in Hamburg and Berlin with family, and these were great!!
First off, the storefront is fun, vibey, and intriguing. I kind of love that it's solely takeout with friendly faces to interact with. The service was a 5/5 -- so friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic! I also caught them at a time where things weren't too busy and my order was ready in under 5 minutes.
Something to note for folks who may want to visit: they have a regular döner (chicken, beef, or a mix of chicken/beef) for approx $12 (if my memory serves me) but offer a combo for closer to $15 which offers a sandwich, fries, and a drink--seems like a great deal to me! For this time, though, I wasn't super hungry so I stuck with the sandwich.
The bread was fresh and just the right balance of crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They truly did not skimp out on the fillings (which I so appreciated!). The chicken was super flavorful, as were the sauces, lettuce, onions, and tomato. Well-seasoned and well-cooked! Not greasy at all. The one thing I was not the biggest fan of was the spicy sauce. I usually like spice, but I didn't feel it was necessary in this sandwich--it felt a tad overpowering for me personally. Having consumed my fair share of authentic German döners, it was an element to the sandwich I was unfamiliar with and didn't love. Next time, I'll ask for more tzatziki and no spicy sauce. It's also a tad expensive (I'm used to döners in Germany being 4-6 Euros), but hey, it's NYC.
Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and will be back!
