Tasting Notes
On Gülbey Karataş Avenue, the stand bills its döner as “Tereyağlı Közde Döner” (“döner with butter, cooked over embers”).
How the döner is served
Two chicken döner spits turn side by side, each in front of its own wood fire. Slices are laid on a griddle, topped with lettuce and wrapped in lavash to order.
Wrap sizes and plate service
For a meal without a wrap, the menu offers plate service in single and one-and-a-half portions. Wraps are served on a tray with pickled gherkins and ayran.
“Go after dark and start with a single-lavash zurna wrap; choose şalgam from the drinks list to have alongside it.”
