    Lahmacun and Iskender
    Aylin S.

    I truly can't believe it's taken me this long to write this review!! Doner Corner is hands down the best Turkish food in LA. The doner here is unbelievably fresh. The iskender is so goood and they come to your table sometimes to drop butter on your plate (iykyk). It's my go-to order every single time but husband and I also always order 3 entrees. Doner sandwich, doner plate, lahmacun, and pide... are all so good. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We come here at least once a week, that's how much we love it. Consistently delicious, comforting, and so satisfying every single visit. If you're looking for the best Turkish food in LA, this is it. Cannot recommend enough.

    Been searching for authentic Turkish doner (perfect blend of lamb and beef) in SoCal for quite sometime. So happy to have found DC. The doner is tender, juicy and flavorful. Really don't need much sauce or anything to dress it up. Enjoyed the doner plate with tomatoes and onions. The creamy baba ghanoush was also tasty.

    First time having authentic Turkish food and it was incredible! Unique, fresh flavors that I've never had before. Highly recommend the Doner Iskender and Kunefe. The staff was super friendly and they have specials during the week. 10/10

    the Lahmajun- my favorite! It taste like the most flavorful flatbread I've ever had

    I think I would've missed the spot, but I came here with a Turkish friend and I'm really glad I discovered this place. we came here as a group because one of my friends celebrate Ramadan and, I loved the special they were serving during that time! it was a great way for me to sample a variety of foods I had never had before. I recently was in the area and I stopped by again. we had the donor plate and the lahmajun-which is my personal favorite, which taste like a very delicious slightly more exotic flatbread.. it seems like a small operation, but everybody that works there is very efficient. I love supporting small businesses. LA is overfilled with trendy restaurants, I am so happy that little hole in the wall restaurants like this exist. With great service and excellent food. definitely stop by and try!

    First time having Lahmajun, and it didn't disappoint! it was crispy, soft, fragrant and fresh! The quick squeeze of the lemon made a huge difference and complimented the lahmajun. My friends also enjoyed their food. Portions were pretty huge, and imo , shareable. The service was also great. They were so friendly and helpful. Parking can be found on the streets.

    This was my first time, and everyone was friendly and the food is delicious. What more could you ask for?

    Mekanın ambiyansı güzel masaları yerleri tezgahları tertemiz ve çalışanlarının da tek tip kurumsal kıyafet giymesi Türkiye'deki işine özenen esnafları hatırlattı bana. Et dönerleri çok lezzetli ve pişme kıvamı tam benim sevdiğim gibiydi, dönerimi sandviç ekmeğinde yedim, kesinlikle bu ekmeği deneyin derim, yuvarlak susamlı büyüklüğü de çok iyi lezzetli bir ekmekti, burası nasıl yapıyor bilmiyorum ama çiğ tortillayı pişirip lavaş diye kullanan yerlerden yorulduğum için lavaşta bir şey istemeye çekiniyorum burada yediğim sandviç ekmeği muazzamdı. Porsiyonları doyurucuydu ve fiyatları da bence aşırı değil, ayranla beraber 23 civarıydı galiba The atmosphere of the place was really nice--the tables, floors, and counters were all spotless. The staff wearing uniform corporate outfits reminded me of the kind of business owners in Turkey who really take pride in their work. The beef döner was very delicious, and it was cooked exactly the way I like it. I had mine in sandwich bread, and I definitely recommend trying it this way. The round, sesame-coated bread was the perfect size and very tasty. I'm not sure how they make it here, but since I've gotten tired of places that cook raw tortillas and use them as lavash, I usually hesitate to order anything with lavash. However, the sandwich bread I had here was amazing. The portions were filling, and the prices weren't too high in my opinion--it was around 23 with ayran, if I remember correctly.

    I just happened to walk into this place cause I live around the corner and I was so excited to learn it was an authentic Turkish restaurant! I was just in Turkey in October 2025 and when I walked in I felt like I was back there! The atmosphere was so inviting and felt like we were sitting in a restaurant filled with family and friends. The food was exactly what I had in Turkey and was incredibly good! We ordered the Doner Iskender and the Lahmajun. The service was wonderful and the owner Mehmet was so kind. We had a wonderful conversation and he gave me and my sister complimentary tea and Güllaç! I look forward to going back!

    Great food, cute location! Out of all the Turkish restaurants in LA, this is currently one of the best. It's got a clean, neat environment with an open kitchen. You order at the register, and the food comes to your table. Plenty of seating. Service was really fast, even though we went at a super crowded time. They make everything from scratch, including their pita, which is a huge plus. I tried the Iskender, sujuk & cheese pide, lahmacun, çiğ köfte, and homemade ayran. My favorites were the sujuk & cheese pide and the lahmacun. The Iskender was good too. Their döner meat is really tasty and thinly sliced, but I felt like it needed to cook a little more. Prices are decent. Overall, very much recommended!

    Lahmajun

    We went here for dinner and the experience was very disappointing, mainly due to poor service and lack of professionalism. There were three staff members working (an older man and two young women), yet basic customer care was missing. We were seated as two guests but only one set of utensils was brought to the table. When we asked for another, the staff seemed distracted and were laughing among themselves instead of addressing the request properly. Later, when I asked for extra parsley, the server attempted to take food directly from our plate at the table instead of bringing a small side plate, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. Despite leaving a good tip, the level of service never improved. There was no attentiveness, no courtesy, and no sense of experience. As for the food, we ordered lahmacun. For a meat-based dish, it lacked flavor and had very little meat--mostly peppers--making it unbalanced and disappointing. Overall, this place failed both in service and food quality. I won't be returning and would not recommend it to others.

    First time trying Turkish food like this. Close to work with quick service - much needed combo when you're on a time crunch. They have a variety of dishes to choose from Soups, salads, pides, doner plates and DESSERTS. It's a little on the pricey side for a quick bite but the portions are big and make up for it (enough to take home for another meal). Will be back- 7 out of 10 for me.

    Middle Eastern restaurant in downtown LA. I didn't realize this was the sister restaurant of…read moreBestia. Overall, I enjoyed every dish we got. I would consider reordering everything we got. Definitely on our list of restaurants to visit again when we're in the area. Ordered: - Hummus Duck 'Nduja - First off, we need to take a moment for the blistered pita. That stuff was soooooo yummy might be my favorite pita I ever consumed. Hummus was also good, nice balance of flavors that complimented each other well. - Grilled Octopus - Had a good amount of chew and wasn't too chewy. Dill flavor was a bit on the strong side but I don't mind it. - Potato Flatbread - Very light and also good. - Slow Roast Lamb Neck Shawarma - Soooo tender fell off the bone so nicely. My favorite dishes were the lamb neck shawarma and the blistered pita. Family style restaurant. We were recommended to order 2 spreads, 3 appetizers, and 1 entree for 3 people. We ended up doing 1 spread, 2 appetizers, and 1 entree and I'm very happy with our decision. We were soooo full after our meal. I think if we did the 2 spread and 3 appetizers as recommend we wouldn't be able to eat the entree at all. Seems like a really popular celebration restaurant (saw many graduations). We did make a reservation and I would recommend doing that. All tables were filled when we were there, not sure how the walk in situation is. Music is a bit loud inside the restaurant but I don't think it was as bad as Bestia. The outside patio was good though in my opinion. I didn't feel like i was yelling across the table to talk on the patio.

    The food is still stellar - updating to state that the new-to-me-menu items (peach salad, smoked…read moretrout, chicken tagine and whole lamb rack) are all superb. The tagine in particular was a pleasant surprise; I almost never order chicken, I can cook it plenty fine at home. However: this dish was a revelation (the olives transform during the braise - so creamy/delicious). The only nit to pick: Bavel please change up the playlist; I enjoy Bad Bunny as much as the next person, but the same 4 songs were on repeat all night long.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
