| - How have I gone a year without knowing there is a delicous döner kebab for sale 10 minutes from my office?!
For those that are unaware, döner kebab is the Turkish equivalent of a Greek gyro (they bill them as gyros here, I think to alleviate confusion). Only it is not equivalent at all, but rather better in every way! The meat is less greasy, and more identifiably lamb (I had someone explain to me once that this is due to döner being halal and gyros, not so much... might be BS, or not). And the accompaniments are better: actual green lettuce, tomato chunks, thin slices of marinated red onions in lieu of giant hunks of raw white ones. And the Turkish yogurt sauce, cacik, while theoretically the same thing, is always somehow lighter and less sour-cream-like than Greek tzatziki.
Can't speak to the service, as I had take out, but that was quick. Waited 5 minutes and had a nice chat with the owner about my 3 months as a student in Berlin (where döner kebab is everywhere). Business seemed slow for a lunch hour, but this seemed to have no negative affect on the food I had, which was fresh, hot, and delicious.
Will certainly be back soon!
