    See how they just fold the tortilla over!!!
    Guy H.

    Ordered double meat, love this place. But the burrito is half sized. They just fold in a lot of tortilla grrrr!!! All 3 burritos half sized. Foods good but this is shady. Entire burrito has double tortilla in it. It's supposed to be double at the ends only. One layer in the middle. Way less ingredients, not a good way to rip customers off.

    Big Turk Combo Plate - lamb
    Bry R.

    Got the big Turk plate with lamb and the spartan plate. Both come with a good amount of veggies and pita bread! The flavors are always soooo good and goes well with the pita and rice! The spartan plate says it comes with +extra meat, but it didn't seem like it... still a great plate!

    Doner Shack I'm giving this place 3 stars. I was hoping the food would come out piping hot, but it was lukewarm. The meat was seasoned well and had the flavor I expected, but it felt like it had been sitting out for a while. The meat was also a little dry, and the rice was a bit mushy. I think this place would be much better when they're busy and moving product faster. The flavors were good overall, but I knocked off one star because the meat seemed dry and not fresh, and another star because the food was lukewarm and the rice texture was off. I'll come back to try something else and see if I can give them more stars next time. If you're looking for this type of food and want the right flavors, this place does deliver on taste. It's a small hole-in-the-wall spot with seating for about six people, so it's not great for groups, but it's good for grab-and-go.

    Less meat for spartan plate
    Sherene H.

    I love doner shack! I'm so sad the amount of meat has decreased by about 30% for the spartan plate. My boyfriend got the pita plate and it was about 20% less. The price is the same and the taste by it is expensive now. Their delicious yogurt sauce is also $1 for one extra container. Their service is friendly and parking is free in Samsung plaza if you get out quickly to just pick up. Overall, just disappointed in the noticeable decrease in meat and increase of salad / rice to replace it.

    I've seen this place a few times as I patronize another establishment in that area. I decided on getting the Mr a lamb wrap as loves lamb and Mediterranean food. There was only one other customer reading inside. The music was blaring and for some reason they increased the volume on a song that had cuss words in it. I was extremely shocked because I thought they would've turned it down instead. The other customer looked at me and I did make a comment about the song. It was turned off immediately. But still, why would you have that in a restaurant? That already gave me bad vibes about the food. I brought the wrap home excited to see the expression on my mister's face. He was extremely disappointed. He said whoever wrapped it wrapped it horribly as it was falling apart and super soggy. He only ate half of it. The flavor was not on par either. I didn't even take a picture of it because it was so horrible looking it looked like vomit and not picture worthy. It would be different if the taste was there and it just didn't look good. But sadly this was not the case. This was a no go for us.

    Went back! The portion size day was a fluke. The owner assured me that they didn't change a thing! What a relief. Have been back twice since!

    Big Turk Combo Plate
    Brad R.

    Delicious. Reasonably priced. Quick, friendly service. Couldn't ask for more. My go-to order is the Big Turk Combo Plate, which is a little bit of EVERYTHING. Choice of chicken shawarma, lamb doner, or half-half, half a pita and cup of hummus, rice, side salad with feta and balsamic, and 2 falafel balls. Meat and falafel are perfectly seasoned, tastier than a lot of other Greek/Mediterranean/Turkish/Israeli/Palestinian spots in Honolulu. The hummus, on the other hand, is a little lacking in flavor; still good though. I usually order for delivery or have someone else bring me takeout. I did go in myself to pick up takeout once. Bright, clean interior with friendly staff. A few counter seats if you want to dine in, but their main jam is clearly takeout judging by the many bags of food waiting for pickup. Called in my order at 5:30pm on a Friday, was told 30min, but when I went in to pay for my order it was already ready just 12 minutes later! Highly recommend.

    Big Turk combo plate $18 was a good deal. With generous lamb, rice , pita bread and other seasonings. The shop closes at 9, we ordered around 8:07, and the food still came out pretty fresh. Parking is free for 20 mins at Samsung Plaza. Call ahead would be a good strategy.

    Doner Shack is the spot to be for lunch. Food is really good here. Phone order is a must , lunch time this place can be very busy. Parking kind of sucks here , its location is the Sam Song Plaza . There's very few tables inside here , take out is recommended. Very very clean inside. Must try is the lamb plate.

    Doner Shack at the Samsung Plaza on Keeaumoku Street.

    One cannot live on Frrrrrrried Chicken alone! Or perhaps I am wrong???? Buwahahahahaha! I remembered seeing a Doner Shack in downtown Honolulu, but I didn't know that there was another Doner Shack location across the street from the Keeaumoku Walmart. If ya know where the Samsung Plaza is, Doner Shack is one of the various eateries businesses in this little strip mall plaza. Does Doner Shack have Frrrrrrried Chicken? Of course not! But what Doner Shack does serve here is a freshly made meal, and the meats featured here are mainly roasted chicken, & lamb. They also have falafel, if you're a vegetarian. It's was my first time to Doner Shack, but my friend who suggested this place has been to a Doner Shack before. Doner Shack has a pretty simple menu, and upon looking over the menu, I decided to get a wrap, because it was the closest thing that looked like a burrito (and I was craving Mexican that day, lol), the only difference is the ingredients inside of the wrap of course is much more healthy than a Mexican burrito. Lol! I opted to get the chicken for my wrap, and it came with very fresh vegetables & some kinda yogurt sauce. My friend got the rice bowl, and the came with a mixture of chicken/lamb, veggies on a bed of yellow rice (not sure what type of rice that was). What can I say about the grub? I certainly could taste the freshness of my wrap, but I think I needed a bit more space, as my wrap tasted rather "dry". I had taken my friend's hot sauce to add more flavor to my wrap, but still something was missing (imho). If you're looking for healthy eating, Doner Shack is definitely a good option!

    Tried out the new Doner Shack location on Keeaumoku Street (inside Sam Sung Plaza), and it's definitely more convenient than having to trek into downtown Honolulu. That said, parking here can be a bit of a headache--especially during lunch or dinner rush. We managed to find a spot, but we did get charged $1 even though the window sign said parking is free with validation for up to an hour. Not a huge deal, just a little confusing. As for the food--thumbs up from me! I got the rice plate with a combo of chicken and lamb, which comes with rice, meat, veggies, and sauces. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. I'd definitely order it again. My friend went with the doner wrap (chicken, veggies, and sauce) but found it a bit bland, so maybe the rice plate is the better pick here if you're looking for more flavor, or you may need to amp up the sauces ,or try the lamb! All in all, tasty food and worth a visit--even if the parking situation isn't the easiest. Looking forward to coming back!

    Falafel  Cilantro sauce  Hot sauce

    There is ample parking and it's free for the first 30 minutes. Inside isn't the cleanest looking, and there was a small roach in the soda fountain cups area. The cashier was extremely friendly and helpful. I got a Berlin Sandwhich with yogurt sauce, cucumber, tomato, and a mix of lamb and chicken. It was incredible. The portion was huge, that it could have been split. The falafel was very good and has a great texture. It was suppose to have 5 falafel, that's what the cashier told me and I opened the box and it was only 4. Accidents happen. Overall it was very tasty.

    Spartan Plate $19
    Suri S.

    Mediterranean food is always a hit or miss in Hawaii - I would give this place a solid 3.5, rounding up to 4 for Hawaii standards since there's slim pickings. Located in Samsung Plaza across from Kickin Cajun & Pate. Shared parking lot. First 20 minutes free. Validated for 1 hour with cashier. We couldn't find any parking when we first arrived so we had to find street parking and walk. A few open stools off to the side to sit inside. Most people do takeout. Spartan Plate ($19) had the most meat so naturally we chose to share between 2 people. The portion was generous. Overall the food was decent, but there's some room for improvement. The meat could use some more seasoning and sauce. Since there wasn't as much sauce on top, it lacked some flavor for us. No sauce on the side provided. I did appreciate that the plate wasn't super oily like other places we have been. Food came out pretty fast - it looked like most of the food was cooked, ready to be scooped onto plates. Service was polite. 3% surcharge for credit card, so bring cash if preferred.

One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most.

The pesto chicken salad was loaded with beautiful green goodies which made this treat as aesthetically pleasing as it was delectable. They're also slapping down some of the best local Hawaiian ingredients into these here sanguines. The pesto itself was mac-nut based, which was intriguing. I'll be honest, I couldn't taste the difference between that and a pine nut pesto, but it was friggin delish pesto either way. The only downside I can think of is that the bread here lands somewhere between "ok" and "good". I've never had a bread quite like it, but it reminds me of a mix between an artisanal white bread, and a painini bread that you would find in Italy. It got the job done, but I feel like it could be upgraded. Sprout is worth a visit before or after your beach trip.

The matcha itself was on the lighter side compared to richer ceremonial matchas, but it was still smooth, well-balanced, and not at all astringent. It paired really well with the oat milk, and both drinks were enjoyable. There was a line out the door during breakfast/brunch hours, which shows just how popular this place is. Despite the crowd, the service was friendly and efficient, and we were able to grab a small table to dine in. It's located on the upper level of the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it a convenient stop while shopping in Waikiki. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu (hoping the lilikoi matcha will make a comeback too)!

When we ordered, the employee took our order but did not really start making the salad. His manager had to come out, at which point he jumped a bit and then started assembling the salad. He did not ask if we wanted it tossed, which they used to do, and instead just layered everything together. The biggest disappointment came when I got home and realized my Ono Island Ahi salad had no dressing at all, not on the side and not inside. That was frustrating and honestly a letdown, especially since the dressing is a big part of what makes these salads so good. The space itself looks clean and it is very convenient being inside Kahala Mall, with plenty of parking which is always a plus. Overall, the food concept is great and the salads are still tasty, but the service is lacking and needs improvement for me to fully enjoy coming back regularly.

Definitely thoroughly satisfied with the scone this time as opposed to my previous visit! I would recommend the blueberry cream cheese scone. I feel like all of their cakes are goated but that is sinful slices. If I ate that lemon crunch cake I'd have to run Diamond Head multiple times and starve myself to offset the calories *cries* LOL.

    I almost didn't want to post so I could keep this all to myself! My cousin told me about this spot…read more-- she's a fellow elite yelper so naturally I had to check it out. It's a small bakery with fresh pastries, sandwiches, drinks, cakes. But the real reason I went was for the freshly baked scones! My fave was the blueberry scone - melts in your mouth brah! It was warm, not too sweet and a touch of cream cheese. It wasn't overpowering-- My son loved the banana scone and he's the pickiest eater!! . I even tried their fresh biscuits - like buttah baby! Totally drool worthy!!! I would definitely go try them out! 6 minute drive from Waikiki area! You won't regret it!!! Go Support local business. I gave it 5 star because I k ow I will crave this every time!
