My Doner (or is it "MyDoner?) is a months-old Turkish restaurant located on Lawrence just west of Hamlin. I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile, and finally went today for lunch with one of my buds.
I presume this is a small family-run business. A young man was our server and rung us up at the register too, though I do not believe he did the cooking of our meals. They serve familiar Turkish dishes, and if you do not know them then the pictures on the menu will be quite helpful. The place has a homey atmosphere, and there was a minimal lunch crowd this Saturday afternoon so the food came out fairly quickly after we placed our orders.
I enjoyed my "kofte tabak" (kofte plate) with grilled meat mini-patties, rice with chickpeas, two kinds of "wraps" and a side salad. It was pretty good, though could have used a flavor boost with some sauce or other condiment. My bud ordered the "tavuk izgara" (grilled chicken), which he seemed to like though one of the chicken chunks was undercooked so he left that piece alone. We ordered cans of soft drinks, and were also served a small pitcher of ice water.
I'm glad to have a Turkish food option in my 'hood now, and though our lunch was "good not great" I think My Doner is worth another try sometime.
