This Döner 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 Döner 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!

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!

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 .

Came here all the way from Cincinnati, Ohio almost 4 hours away. Didn’t come here just for this Döner? Yes I did. My wife and I been to Germany together twice, she’s from there. This is easily the best Döner I have had outside of Germany. The sauce, the meat, the bread!!! 100% will be driving 4 hours AGAIN. THANK YOU!

I was pretty excited to try this place out once I heard it was open for business. The inside looks awesome. All the artwork on the wall looked great. Very friendly staff. As for the food I ordered a beef doner and a veggie doner with fries. The best part of this doner was the amazing bread, it is soft with a nice crust and is very flavorful. Then you add all the toppings and beef and you have a fantastic sandwich! The beef was very tender and tasted delicious The sauce they put on the doner was so tasty and was the perfect final touch! The veggie Doner had all the same topping as the beef but was jammed packed with seasoned, crispy, delicious fries!! We will definitely be back for more food.

45+ year veteran of Dearborn Dearborn Heights. Donor was on my list to try for many moons. Finally tried both the Donor Shawarma and the regular pita Shawarma sandwiches. I am happy to report both of these offerings are some of the best offerings in my area. The quality taste perfection over the cost ratio is unmatched in the area! These are the best sandwiches, best portions to cost paid I have encountered in my 45 plus years!!!

I ordered the chicken shawarma without the pita so it would be gluten free. Everything was layered on top of french fries and heavily smothered in a white sauce. Why?!?! It would have been amazing if it had about half the amount of sauce. The sauce was good but it was way too much of a good thing! Very heavy on the stomach!! It’s quite pricey but the portion was huge so I guess it’s worth it ,since it is enough for two people. If you order this for just yourself, it won’t be good as leftovers because the lettuce and french fries will be too soggy. This is a great place if you can eat it as sandwich because they use a fraction of the amount of sauce. My husband and daughter rated theirs a 9 out of 10. I gave mine a 3 bc my stomach hurts now 😓please put less sauce!!! I know for next time to order sauce on the side but for 1st time costumers, it totally ruins it

I dread having to write this review but it had to be done. My review on the doner shawarma food truck on telegraph that was closed upon the opening of the store front is great 5 stars. I was so excited every time i passed by while this place was beimg prepped to be opened. This.... I'm pushing it with two stars. Im so disappointedand can see alot of angry former food truck customers leaving this place behind. Please bring back the food truck. Today... I ended up having chunks of burnt red meat in my chicken doner. I had a huge amount of spice in it as well. I never asked for spice. I literally could not tolerate the spice level of it and only finished a quarter of the doner. I have never felt there was spice at all when I was getting the same thing from the food truck. And I've never had other peoples food in my doner at the food truck either. I was given a 20 minute wait time for the food to be ready. Husband was inside the entire time waiting for it and they handed it to him almost 10 minutes late. What we received... for some reason was also cold. The doners were both cold (even when wrapped in foil and boxed) and the fried were cold. The fries also literally were just crumbs from the bottom of the fry bag. Not one French fry was 1 inch in length. If this downgrade does not change for the better...soon... I will have to stop eating one of my favorite foods that I was so excited about eating in America. Please bring back the food truck, and who ever it was that worked the food truck, or do better. Please 🙏. Also, please have the lady who takes the phone calls atleast put customers on hold before she has an entire conversation with kitchen staff when she answers calls. The place is clean and there a nice theme going. I will give them that. It is also important to note that during the time of my order... there was only 1 other to go order and 1 seated customer.

BEST SANDWICH EVER EATEN !!!! Husband and I got a carry out and we got a beef and a chicken Donar shawarma sandwich that we split in half to try both and they were both EXCELLENT !!!!! The bread is not so thick that all you taste is bread !!! I love that it has sesame seeds too :) The meat was perfectly seasoned, crunchy vegetables (purple cabbage & onion), tomatoes and the sauce they use not sure what it is but it's delicious !!! The sandwiches are huge too !! Super friendly staff and reasonable prices for what your getting :) TRY IT OUT you won't regret it :) I also see they have a nice little seating area outside with a few tables and umbrellas :)

I've had German-style doner sandwiches in a few places so far, but this establishment here makes it the best in my opinion. Most people are used to these sandwiches being made with flatbread or wraps, but the bread used here is Turkish Pide. Normally when I've had these sandwiches the bread is thick and a bit chewy, but the way this restaurant prepares it is by pressing it down to give a nice toast on the outside so it feels more crunchy. I much prefer it this way because I end up tasting more of the contents of the sandwich vs the bread and it gives the sandwich a better texture. I also feel like it makes the meat and vegetables less prone to spilling all over the place which I found to be an issue with other doner kebabs I've had. Meat was perfectly tender, sauce is amazing, and the vegetables brought everything together for a nice balance. Also cannot forget the well seasoned garlic cilantro fries and a bottle of water. Altogether this combo cost $20, which I think is a great value considering how much food I got.
