    Regular Fries
    John B.

    Dear gentle reader, Do not approach ordering from Twisted Meats lightly--for you and your taste buds stand on the brink of something bordering on the transcendent. The vegetables arrive so fresh that even the most resolute vegan might momentarily forgive the unapologetic abundance of beef, lamb, and chicken beneath them. The sauces are lush, indulgent, and impossibly smooth--crafted with a decadence that feels almost improper to describe. The fries? Crisped to perfection on the outside--twice over, it seems--while the interior dissolves into something closer to silk than potato. And then there is the staff: disarmingly kind, effortlessly charismatic, and possessed of a presence that elevates the entire experience. The towering proprietor, all 6'8" of him, greets guests with a smile that borders on euphoric--especially when he places into your hand a perfectly chilled stein of Enegren Valkyrie. The beer selection is not merely good; it is curated with intent and reverence. Each pour feels like a quiet passage to the old country--a place you may not want to leave once you arrive. In short, their meats linger in the mind long after the meal ends. We are fortunate, indeed, that two gentlemen from Deutschland chose to share their craft here. PROST!

    Very good doner kebab. I tried doner sandwich and meat and bread were amazing. Service was good. Price is little high for a doner sandwich but I think because bread and meat they use are high quality. Restroom was clean. Plenty of parking. There are inside and outside seating.

    The food was delish & offered great value for the price. The chicken was my fav , but I also tried the half & half option, which was awesome. It allowed me to experience the flavors of both beef and lamb doner. The team was friendly and helpful. Lars assisted us with any questions we had about the menu, and Eldor was kind too He even brought us a special doner bread to try, which was crispy, warm, and paired perfectly with hummus I recommend this place & will definitely be returning next time we visit Thousand Oaks.

    Yummy flatbread sandwich. Bread is thick and meat is well seasoned. Could use some jalapeños or pepperoncinis tho-maybe I'll bring my own next time. Nice casual option. Ample parking. Sandwiches do take a while to make so order ahead.

    Beef and lamb it is so moist and delicious
    Azusa S.

    I am so sad I have been craving Twisted Meats because it was so delicious last time and I drove here from Oxnard and I couldn't be more disappointed. The beef and lamb meat was not on the rotisserie and that should have been the first clue. The meat was so dry and not fresh. The portion was much smaller than the last time I was here and I understand times are tough for restaurants but if you're gonna charge the prices then it's disappointing. It was $32 for the doner box with fries and a side of hummus and pita. The hummus was dry and not smooth and creamy like the last time and the pita was so hot by the time they cooled off they were too hard to eat. They charge .49 to have the fries on the side and I wish they would have at least mentioned that. The gal who was working was sweeping the floor which I appreciate a clean restaurant but she didn't wash her hands before working the register and serving me my meal. We love to try to eat at locally owned restaurants but Oh well I guess my craving for Twisted Meats is no longer.

    The doner sandwich was delicious and you can taste that the ingredients are fresh. I'd come back for dinner to try one of their German beers.

    This place is great! It is the closest thing to the doner wraps we had in Germany. I love the fact there is a restaurant where my meat loving friends can order two different types of meat and I can order my vegan meal. The rice is so flavorful and the veggies are very fresh. The portions are large. The staff is friendly, attention and informative. They have both high tables and booths. It is cozy inside but they also have a great outside patio. We will definitely be frequenting this spot!

    Seasoned fries - combo size

    I stopped by after doing a quick search in the area for a top lunch spot. They were right off the 101 freeway going north, inside a plaza. There was a good size parking lot, but at lunch time it filled up. Inside is nice and clean, very modern cafe/bistro vibes. You order at the counter and the lady brought me my food when it was ready. There is inside seating but not a lot and there is no real place to wait for a to-go order inside. The menu is large and clear and plenty of offerings but it's not overwhelming. The cashier was super friendly and very helpful. It took about 8-12 minutes to get my food. Donor Sanwhich w/ Lamb and Beef - 4 Star - the bread was unique, almostlike a small loaf that was hallowed out so you just have a crisp shell. It was a great vehicle for the mounds of meat and veggie. I opted for no tomatoes and went with the spicy sauce. I definitely would get at least 1 more sauce to balance the meat out. Fries - 5 Star - I addded the fries and drink to make it combo. The size was kind of on the small side for a $7 bump but they were really good. Slightly battered and preseasoned with a great crunch. The garlic sauce is like a garlicky ranch and was also really good on the sandwich. My total was $29 and I definitely could have split with my wife, but it was my birthday so powered through and ate it all.

    Having grown up eating Döner, it's tough to find a place in the US that meets that flavor profile. Twisted meats absolutely nails it. Get the lamb and beef with all of the veggies for the most authentic taste. Sauces are unique, the tzatziki is the closest we found to our hometown locale. The bread is perfection, and the fries are cooked well. The restaurant is efficient, clean, and the food outstanding. Go!

    Well we came back, again! I really cannot stress enough how good the Doner is. The bread is wonderful and fresh, made daily with imported German flour. The shaved lamb on the sandwich is to die for. Load up the veggies and use original sauce. Look at the photo, that's "1" sandwich. Huge, my wife and I split. Also fresh kegs of imported German beer. Come on! What else could you ask for. Get here, yesterday!

    One of the mediterranean places, I've tried here in Thousand Oaks. The meat was very tasty and tender. The flavors were omg. The service was very good and attentive. The restaurant exuded an inviting cleanliness that immediately put me at ease, while the tantalizing aroma wafting through the air ignited my senses and heightened my anticipation. Without a doubt, I am eager to return and indulge in the delightful experience once more.

    Raw Doner being cut
    James C.

    Used to be so good. We brought everyone here. Reminiscent of college food, but better. We are here once a week. We are German speakers and appreciated the food. The bread was amazing! Then we came back. Took 40 minutes to get cold, food. Rice was so hard that it looked like raw yellow lentils. Leftover meat and questionable freshness. When we told the server with red hair, she said it was hot and challenged us by saying it was. Nope. It was cold. Secondly none of the meat was cut from the Doner. Really? 100 bucks for 4 dishes and a beer. Nope. Up charges for every thing. Speaking of beer, it was 1/2" from the top. Seriously? Oh. Don't cut the Döner when it's still raw (see pictures). It's gross. And the pan on top of the machine is all the chopped up meat from the spindle of gristle that you cut. Go anywhere else. This was disappointing. And Ruben, sorry. As much as we appreciated the free Kolsch... and platitudes that this was fresh food you make everyday, this was terrible.

We got to watch some World Cup games and you would think it'd be too pack to find somewhere to sit but no. It was pretty packed but there was still plenty of room to sit at. I tried their spicy chicken wrap which comes with chips and their honey mole pizza. Both were so good! Honestly their pizza is some of the best pizza I've had and that's not common for bar pizza. I tried some of their icecream too and you get a good medium size with 3 scoops for just $8. Not bad at all!

The layout is one of the best parts of the place. It's incredibly open with plenty of seating inside, and the outdoor patio with live music is a huge plus. It never felt cramped, even when it started getting busy, and it's getting harder to find places that are designed this well for hanging out. What surprised me most was the wine list. I expected maybe a couple of basic options, but they actually have a solid selection featuring some well-respected Santa Barbara producers. It wasn't just the standard Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc either. There was enough variety that I had no problem finding something I genuinely enjoyed. Ordering through the QR code at the table was easy, and our drinks came out surprisingly fast, even during a busy rush. The system seemed to work really well. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back. The crowd isn't exactly my personal vibe, but that's completely subjective and didn't take away from the experience. If you're a wine drinker who's hesitant about going to a brewery, don't write this place off. There's a good chance you'll be pleasantly surprised too.
