    Beef and Lamb Döner Kebab
    Tim M.

    Good experience! So let me give you a little bit of nuance. I lived a year in Berlin so I will try not to compare too harshly because the Döners in Berlin are the best IMHO. That being said, my beef and lamb döner was legitimately good! I was pleasantly surprised at how close the bread was to the German style. Also the veggies were very legit! Garlic sauce was excellent (VERY garlicky- which is a good thing!). Meat was decent, not the best. Overall I'd give the sandwich a 7.5/10. I think this is the most authentic döner I've had in Seattle. Good experience, friendly staff and cozy shop. If you're not familiar with the döner, which was invented in Berlin, you should try this spot, it was pretty good!

    After living in Germany for many years I often crave a good döner kebab which are difficult to find in the U.S. So imagine my surprise when I discovered a place that bills itself as making authentic German style kebabs. The restaurant is quite small with only a few seats but the service was friendly and prompt. I had the Döner sandwich and my family tried the Döner box. We also ordered some Greek French fries as a side dish. Everything tasted good, but it wasn't a traditional Döner. The restaurant is also a little bit untidy and not well ventilated so we left with our clothes needing to be aired out. I don't know that I would return but I would recommend that if you go, you take your food to go. Is my review a little harsh? Perhaps. As I said, having had quite a few Döners in Germany I may be a tough critic.

    Döner Box was a pleasant surprise for me as soon as I arrived in Belltown. I hadn't eaten in about seven hours and needed food fast, and I was specifically craving falafel--so this spot felt like the right choice. I debated between the falafel wrap and the falafel döner, but ultimately went with the falafel wrap, and I'm glad I did. The falafel was made fresh to order--crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Everything in the wrap, including the sauces and fixings, complemented the portion perfectly and made it very satisfying. To add more protein, I ordered the garlic tofu, which was also made fresh and fried to a perfect crisp. Both dishes took a little time to prepare, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The experience felt very personal and welcoming--the worker who prepared my food was accommodating and genuinely made me feel at home. The location was also convenient, not far from my hotel, which was a big plus. Everything tasted fresh, and I honestly considered coming back again the very next day. I'll definitely return to try both dishes again--and maybe the falafel döner next time. They also offer a selection of imported European beers. Personally, I'm a bit skeptical of how well those flavors translate after export--they don't always taste the same to me--but for those who enjoy imported options, there's a solid variety available. Overall, I really liked this place. If you're in the area and craving fresh, flavorful falafel, I definitely recommend checking it out.

    Me and my family came from our factory tour at boeing(see previous review) and were hungry. We spent a while looking for places to eat, and finally landed on this place close to us. Very delicious, and decent pricing compared to other places. Only one employee, but he got it done. Not much seating at all, but had cool wall mural. would recommend eating food as soon as you get it, stuff can get soggy. Me and my family got one of everything, and would reccomend the wrap, and sandwich. fries were nothing special, not sure they were worth the $6.75.Very good german-turkish fusion overall. Thanks!

    I revisited this place and had their doner sandwich with chicken. It was very flavorful and not dry at all. It was definitely better than my previous experience, which means that I'll have to go back and try again to validate the flavors, i.e. just an excuse to have a sandwich.

    Doner Box offered me a really affordable lunch wrap near the Seattle Center that was perfect to enjoy on a sunny Seattle afternoon. I came here after seeing they had some really good vegan options on the menu. They offer falafels and marinated spicy tofu as your vegan protein of choice, and you can top it off with their tahini sauce to complete the meal. I ended up doing the former for my gigantic wrap - crispy chunks of falafel snugged inside warm pita with all the fixings. Veggies were pretty good as well but nothing too noteworthy. Together with the sauce, it was a really portable and tasty lunch. Their shop is quite small with limited counter seating that faces the street, so you could dine inside and do a bit of people watching. However, I'd recommend just grabbing and going somewhere nearby (like Olympic Sculpture Park) to enjoy your food.

    Doner box with carved chicken

    Was in Belltown and Doner Box popped up in the area as a good option to visit with the positive reviews, and as a person who enjoys Mediterranean cuisine, we decided to swing by and give this place a try! We went on a Saturday around 12:30pm, ordered and got our food within 5 minutes. I got the Doner Box with Carved chicken, and I thought that this box of food was only alright in terms of quality. Although the chicken was lukewarm, it was soft and soaked up the garlic yogurt sauce that I got nicely - There was a decent amount of spices on the chicken as well. If I were to return, I would probably try and get the plate next time, as the box wasn't very filling - it basically acted as a chicken salad for $13. We also had to remind the cashier that we ordered a baklava as it didn't come out till after we had completely finished eating our boxes. I wouldn't fault the workers for getting this out to us as we ordered it with our meals if the restaurant was busy, but there was only like two other customers at the time and it feels like they just forgot about that part of our order and would have never received it unless reminded. Overall, I would say that Doner Box is only alright in terms of quality and price. As mentioned above, the Doner box with chicken was like $13 for chicken over mostly salad, which to me personally isn't as worth it. I'm not sure if I would revisit, but if these are only my thoughts - feel free to stop by if you want to give this place a try.

    First review of 2023!!! I have heard a lot of good things about this place so I was excited to check them out. We ordered the carved chicken plate as takeout but ended up eating there to eat anyway since we had time. The plate gives you an option of salad, fries, or rice as a base. We chose a salad. It also came with a variety of sauce options in which we got the spicy cilantro. The food was pretty good. The portion was generous. I like that the salad was spinach base on not salad base. The chicken had good flavoring but was a little dry. I was eyeing the couple next to us and their sandwich looks so I might have to go back to give that a try as well :) Space is small and can fir maybe 4-6 people so definitely cater to mostly take out.

I also didn't love that the Donair spit wasn't rotating so only one section of meat was heated until someone ordered. Seems a bit improper?

    ********CLOSED************…read more They recently closed and reopened under a different name. It's now called THE BOSPHORUS PALACE. We originally went because we had seen good reviews for Almanqal Mediterranean Grill. When we got there, the server mentioned it's basically the same place but with a different menu, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The food took quite a while to come out and when it finally arrived, it wasn't even hot. The bread honestly tasted like something bought from a grocery store. The rice was very bland, and although the salad was actually really good, the chicken was extremely dry, chewy, and lacked flavor. The presentation looked nice, but the taste just didn't match. The portions were also quite small, and the prices felt very high for what you get. The service was just okay overall. Maybe they are still new and working things out, but for the price and portion size it just didn't feel worth it. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and money considering the quality and quantity of the food.

    We were in the Wallingford area and searched on Yelp for a place to eat and opted for Almanqal. The…read morerestaurant itself is a bit old but doable. The décor is function over form, i.e. basic. There were two staff members at the front, both of whom also prep food, cook, or grill. She told us to order at the cash register, but others had their order taken at their table later. While they have tables to sit-down, service was limited. They were also busy with takeout orders during the peak dinner time of 6pm. It wasn't until the end of dinner rush that they walked around the tables to refill water. Understandable given their small family business. The food is pretty good, more at a neighborhood scale; I wouldn't categorize them as 'worth the drive'. Prices are reasonable for the food, not high, not a bargain, either. The Food: Fried Cauliflower with tahini sauce, $10.50 - 4 Stars I have a strong affinity to Mediterranean fried cauliflower. Theirs is slightly soft but crispy on the outside nonetheless. Could be better, but we still liked it. Eggplant pickles, $9.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Grilled Eggplant, garlic, lemon juice, cilantro, The problem with ordering at the cash register is I tend to forget to ask question(s). My eyes lit up with 'grilled eggplant' (which I love) and neglected to ask if this is a hot or cold dish. It is a COLD dish and the keyword is 'pickles'. Chopped bits of pickle things covered the grilled eggplant slices. Cold eggplant is not that good, imo. Lamb Kebab Salad, $18.99 - 3 Stars Again, due to ordering at the register, I forgot to ask what kind of salad. While the lamb kebab pieces are very tender and good, the salad consists of uninspiring iceberg lettuce with tiny bits of tomato and tiny shreds of onions. Minus a star for the salad part. Lamb Kebab, $25 - 4 Stars This dish is served with one appetizer. We chose baba ghanoush. The fact this dish comes with a full-size appetizer makes this much more worthwhile than the salad. The lamb pieces are tender, and the rice is flavorful. The baba ghanoush is also good. Thumbs up for the trio. The overall rating should be 3.5 stars. I normally round down to 3 stars for the minimal service, but I am rounding up to 4 stars for the small family business.
