If you're asking yourself whether you should try this place, stop wondering and try it! Food is consistently good! My go to is their Döner Shack plate with extra meat because it's that good! I've had a lot of Mediterranean style food and this place never disappoints! They have 2 locations (Ward and downtown HNL). The taste and consistency of the meat and rice plus the freshness of the sauce and salad is highly recommend!! read more

Döner Shack - Doner Rice Plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We've been looking for a good Mediterranean place to eat and finally found one! We ordered a California wrap, a Doner wrap and a Doner salad with meat. They were all fresh and the meats were delicious and tender! It was a pretty good serving size too! The gentleman that helped us order was very nice and gave us different sauces! Service was fast, friendly and efficient! They had tables and is situated right in town. Will definitely return soon!! read more

This place is like panda express of Mediterranean food. Everything is very average and nothing really stands out. Food is bland and they don't even have decent sauces to back up for it. Also, the portion is tiny for $16 bucks worth of food. You're out of luck though if you live in Hawaii because there are no good casual Mediterranean food around so you gotta settle for places like these. read more

Döner Shack - Very mediocre food. Bland and small portion - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Food is solid, Big Turk ALL Lamb is fire. Aromatic yellow rice is fragrant, side salad is fresh, sauces are a must. Wait time was quick 8 min. Ambiance was airy. My son loves the Lamb Wrap. But Best of it's "MAGA" !!! This place was only 1 of 2 places in All of Oahu that didn't discriminate during CoVid. !!! read more

Wow, a coworker recommended this place for lunch a couple weeks ago and I've been here 3 times since. Lol. Although the lines get long sometimes, they are super fast. The food is absolutely delicious! There are not a ton of Mediterranean places to eat on island, and I am so so glad I discovered this place! Service is always super quick and friendly. Inside is clean, but I've asked for cleaning products to wipe down the outside tables when they are busy and they oblige. The food is really well priced and you get a lot of food! Definitely my go-to lunch break place when working downtown. read more

I have no idea why I haven't tried this place sooner! The food here is so delicious! You can definitely find that this is a very popular lunch spot because the lines are always long! It's kind of hot inside but all good! They have tables inside as well if you wish to dine in. So far I have tried the big Turk plate, the rice plate, and the Döner wrap! The big Turk plate has a little bit of everything! I love me my falafels and hummus and this plate has that plus the rice plate portion! It is a nice big plate for all the people who would like bigger portion meal. The rice plate that I tried is with chicken and falafel. It's not on the menu but I asked and they delivered!! So awesome for them to be able to do that! The last thing I had tried was the Doner wrap! It was nice, big, and plump! Just the way I like it! Lol next time I will try the Downtown Doner Wrap, definitely sounds confusing if you don't add the Downtown in the beginning when you order. The only difference is that the Doner wrap doesn't have hummus and feta cheese. But still want to try it! If you haven't tried this place in downtown, then you should definitely give it a try when you're here! read more

I ordered the lamb/beef rice plate for takeout and it was ready in the allotted timeframe. Parking was however a little challenging. It was a little different than expected, but it was tasty and good portions for the price. What I found different was the way the meat was shredded, it's a lot finer than what I'm used to. Overall, a spot I'll return to next time I'm in the mood for Mediterranean Food. read more

Yay! It's good to know the owner and our DoH have come to an understanding. We passed by recently and the green health placard has been placed in the window. The owner and his employees were all PROPERLY wearing their face masks and are in compliance with current HI State COVID-19 Health Safety Restrictions. We've enjoyed their food in the past and we look forward to picking up takeout meals again. read more

Giving this place a 5 star review just for how friendly and kind the workers are. I was working ( i deliver packages ) and he hooked me up with a drink when i asked him if i could buy one. Just that alone brightened my day. The food looks great i havent tried it but i definitely will when i have the time or ever in the area again read more

Whenever I'm in the downtown area I always stop by doner shack! My job had some catering done by them and the food was so good! Always love grabbing their lamb and the pita is so soft. The hot sauce is definitely what makes their food so addictive! It has the right amount of heat to make you keep wanting more! If you're ever looking for a quick lunch highly recommend placing a phone order for pick up as it gets super busy and if you're looking for a place to cater - this is a really good option! We had so much leftovers! read more

Döner Shack - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Got the wrap. Extra meat. With cilantro bomb sauce. It's my usual go-to order. I was surprised to find that the normally crunchy romaine salad that is put inside the wrap was replaced with what could only be described as wilted soggy leafy greens. They absolutely did not survive the wrap. Every bite was coated in soggy wet seemingly wilted greens. I had to pick out a lot of it because it just wasn't pleasing to eat. Imagine ordering a crunchwrap and getting no crunch, or having to pick out the soggy replacement for crunch. Who made the decision to make such a change to the wrap/salad? Without romaine: I would not eat it again. read more

Food tasted great. Not too many options in Hawaii for Greek food so always glad to find another place with great food. Food was delivered so can't speak to service or ambiance. read more

Wow, so stoked about this place. Such delectable flavorful food. Lots of food for just $11. I loved the rice on my lamb plate. I asked for the cilantro and hot sauce and I'd recommend layering both on everything on the plate. Not too hot and good flavor. Salad is good with the meat. The meat was actually flavorful, not texture like some meats. Really goods trips of lamb that were so good. Lots of meat. Come hungry. read more

Döner Shack - Lamb rice plate - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My friend and I needed to get something different for lunch, so I told her we'll check out this place that has some good food. It's been a while since I been here, but now I'm back in downtown...it was time to check them out again! The place has expanded a little, but the food is still the same...yummy!! Got the rice plate with the lamb and it always hit the spot!! read more

I heard of this gem about 4 years ago from someone that went to HPU. I'm so glad this place is still here and they've renovated. It's a much more pleasant and clean atmosphere. The workers are ever so friendly too. I like this place because not only are they're menu items affordable but ever so tasty. They're Mediterranean salad is good on its own. When I think of lamb I think of gamey meat... it's not the case for this plate. It was a mixture of lamb and beef I really couldn't tell between the two. I asked for extra yogurt and hot sauce because I'm a saucey person but honestly, you don't even need it. It's great on its own. read more

I've ordered take out from here a handful of times and, man, I think it's been at least a year since my last visit. Let me tell you, it's been too long! They've done some renovations and are now much more spacious. Two tables (spread out for social distancing) for dine in. Friendly staff, well lit, and ready for takeout orders! I ordered the mix plate ( lamb and chicken, rice, and salad). I ate the whole plate! Perfect amount of food. And I didn't feel guilty, as it's not too heavy or anything. Really delicious flavors. Meat cooked perfectly. Rice in point. All for $9. I really need to start coming here again more often! read more

Döner Shack - Mix Plate (lamb and chicken) $9 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Went for lunch off of a friend's recommendation. It was a little busy as many others working downtown hit up this spot, and I soon found out why. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the rice plate with mixed meat and devoured it quickly. The meat was really flavorful and topping it off with the various provided sauces (yogurt, cilantro, hot) added a whole other dimension of flavor. The plate also comes with some salad as well. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Its not what I remember it to be. However I also ordered super late so maybe they had the leftover pieces of meat. I remember it being a lot softer and juicier. Its ok, I was able to enjoy the burrito and if was sufficient amount of food. The plates are also in smaller containers. It's ok. I didn't want to cook tonight and I am grateful for a change of taste! read more

They're always busy here! It's best to call ahead and place your order at least 15 minutes before you want your food. The food portions are generous and leave you stuffed. I like the shrawma plates! Your meat options are either beef/lamb mix or chicken. The meat is piled on yellow rice and served with some greens and dressing already poured on. On top the meat they usually put a savory yogurt drizzle. They also offer spicy sauce on the side for those of you who need that extra kick. You can also order it with pita bread or have pita bread on the side. If you want extra rice, Döner shack got you. They also sell rice on the side or extra scoop of rice. They accept cash and card. Remember call ahead and place your order! Otherwise you'll be waiting quite a while. Good food isn't made instantly! read more

I've been coming here about once or twice a week for lunch because it's always so quick to order. The staff is more than knowledgeable about their menu so don't be shy to ask them questions if you don't know what you want to try! The food quality is consistently amazing, no questions asked. Still haven't gone? Better check em out ASAP read more

Onolicious Yummo da bestest!!! Our first time here. Got the meat rice veggie plate. 2 side orders of falafels crispy like potato chips delicious and healthy. Supah good! Fast service and attentive. Nice setup inside and outside restaurant. I can eat this food everyday my favorite. Best Mediterranean food. Looking forward to going here again. Thank you for great food. read more

The food is decent, but they really need to improve their tzatziki, or rather they need to add it to the menu. Their garlic yogurt sauce is mediocre at best. However the rest of the food is good and the service was very friendly and fast. read more

Not going to lie, I was skeptical of trying this place out because of the bad press it was getting from the news. However, my coworkers order from here a lot and my friend recommended it. I'm so glad I tried it, their food is delicious. I tried the lamb and chicken rice plate. The lamb was soft and chicken was juicy. Also, their spicy sauce to add on, is bomb! It made the plate come together. Service was nice and friendly! The only thing I noticed between past reviews and now, the plate looks smaller and price increased. Sad to say inflation is catching up with us, but I'll still come again! Also, if you don't like salad, my friend said you can sub for more rice. read more

Döner Shack - Chicken and Lamb plate with hot sauce - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Been coming here for quite some time and secretly been wishing others would not find out about Doner Shack! But the jig is up judging by the long lines and happy faces of regular patrons who come for the delicious Mediterranean plates, wraps, salads and hot sauce! On my latest visit, was pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant expanded next door and has more staff... which translates to faster orders being made. The food is still amazing ... my favorite being the shack salad with chicken. A mound of romaine greens topped with the signature flavorful chicken, cucumber chunks, pitted Greek olives, pungent feta and a yogurt dressing. Top it with the vinaigrette and hot sauce, and you're talking lip smacking (with a slight burn) deeelicious! My dining companions equally love the wraps and rice plate with lamb. We joked that we come in with one thing in mind but can't help salivating over the menu options, and keep changing our mind several times before we finally order. So, when in the area, Doner Shack is high on my list of downtown favorites! PS, don't asks me how to pronounce Doner... I am thinking of Rudolph's buddy but I'm sure that's wrong. Go check em out! read more

Doner Shack is like the friend you've had for a long time who over time you've learned you don't really have that much in common, but you still really like them despite some differences in beliefs, etc. so you keep them around and vow to never discuss public health, politics or religion because at the end of the day they make a really good apple pie.... Analogies aside, given the fact that the owners of Doner Shack are not bigots like the owners of the Chick-fil-a, I honestly don't care that much about where their thoughts and beliefs are as long as they continuously put out a good product, and that they do... I've had Doner Shack bookmarked for several years, but due to their location I never made it down here until my office relocated from Kakaako to the downtown area. Now with them in walking distance, I've tried the Downtown Wrap, Shack Salad (added lamb), the Doner Pita Plate and the Doner Rice Plate. My favorites are the Downtown Wrap which features your choice of meats, salad, hummus and feta in a wrap as well as the Shack Salad, always with lamb and double meat (don't sleep on the double meat, it's a game changer when it comes to staying full until dinner). Sometimes depending on what I order, I'll also add pita/hummus and a soda for a nominal price. When offered hot sauce or green sauce, don't sleep on either, but my favorite is the green cilantro sauce which does not cause my mouth to catch fire. Food is prepared to order and even during the busy lunch rush, you'll only be there for about 15 minutes or so. Service is friendly and most importantly food is really delicious. If you're a big eater, the Doner Pita Plate or the Doner Rice Plate is probably your best bet since I can never finish it (even without double meat). They also apparently are open on Saturdays and offer a few different brunch options to include shakshuka (yum!). Support local read more

Great place to get your Mediterranean food fix at lunch time. They've been around for a few years and recently expanded their eating area to double the previous size which is very nice. Their previous space was very small so it's really not saying too much. I really like their salad and always get it with lamb for a very reasonable price. My wife also likes it so munch I've gone downtown and hunted for parking so I can get her one for lunch. Also suggest if you don't like yogurt cream sauce, tell them no need. The salad dressing already comes on the side. Daughter lIkes the wrap and like us, gets it with lamb. If you're limited on time or don't want to wait around for them to make it, give them a call and place your order so it's ready for you when you arrive. They'll make it when you call and you're good to go. read more

ordered via doordash since my car is in the shop. estimated time was 40-50 min and it took 40m from placing the order to when my dasher arrived got the shack salad, with all the meats, and added a pita. i had requested the sauce & dressing to be on the side, but the sauce was drizzled on top. it ended up being ok though since it wasnt a whole mess of sauce. meat was well seasoned and very tasty. gyro meat was a little dry, but i guess thats better than it being super oily. lots of chopped up romaine, cucumber, onions, and tomatoes. a few kalamata olives in one corner, and in the opposite corner a small scoop of very fine feta crumbles. dressing tasted like an italian dressing. while it was also good, i didnt use it since the meat had so much flavor and there was enough tzakiki on top. pita was $3 for 1 piece, and it was nothing to take note of. one side was soft, while the other side and the edges were super hard and dry. definitely did not satisfy my craving, as i had wanted a warm pillowy soft pita. overall the salad was really good though. i would definitely get it again read more

I love the food! At this point it has become my go to lunch spot and definitely fills me up! I've gotten the rice plate, and doner wrap and the downtown wrap and all choices are delicious!! I got my coworkers hooked on this place and honestly they love it as well! Definitely will be ordering from here again read more

When u are the only Döner in town !!! This place was a hit for me as I crave middle eastern and Arabic food which is so difficult to find in Hawai'i. The place was packed and pumped out plate after plate in a timely fashion. Biggest down fall for me was there is absolutely no parking. So best to drop off someone to pick up and then go around the block. If u are walking around feel free to have a seat inside the seating area is quite small but I think accommodating. Or u can take it to go and eat at one of the near by benches or parks. Not in the nicest place downtown but it works. My only complaint is the food was bit to salty for me and the menu a little confusing the way it is written out. But definitely will be back !! Biggest complaint they close on sundays .......// sigh read more

I love Mediterranean food, kebabs, and all things covered in tzaziki! Doner Shack is a nice little place downtown that quick fixes my need for something different than a typical plate lunch. I'm giving my review for now three stars. I ordered online, and while my food came quickly, there were some issues. First, some of the rice in my order was hard. Second, I ordered a side of pita bread and didn't get it. And third, I ordered an extra sauce and didn't get it. Normally I would be more harsh in my review with all these mishaps, but I've been to the physical location a few times and I've never had any order problems, so it's more of a 5 star if you order at the location, 3 if you order takeout delivery. The meat and salad and rice (apart from some hard parts) is all super delicious though so if you're downtown, check them out and your order will be perfectly fine! read more

Great spot. Vegetarian wrap is overpriced, but tasty. Lettuce, cucumber, feta cheese. Falafel wrap was outstanding. Highly recommend that burrito. Busy place, always a good sign. Street parking if you're lucky. Are U lucky? Owner(?) or Manager is rude. Poor customer service and he talks down to people. On the Edge of Douchebaggerry. read more

I haven't worked in downtown for several years but when I do journey to downtown, I make sure I grab a bite from Doner Shack. I remember walking here often to pick up lunch with my coworkers to take back to the office. Back then they only had limited counter seating. We'd wait in a long line to pick up food in the narrow shop that was usually a 2 man show. But now, Doner Shack has expanded their shop, they have a spacious seating area that is well lit and modern, and have hired more staff. They even accept credit card! Although the layout has changed (improved!) the food is consistent: tasty, delicious and filling! There's nothing like Doner Shack. Support local! read more

Awesome food, low prices, big portions, amazing staff. That about sums it up. This place is legit. Food is authentic. I've lived in the UK where there's a kebab place on every block. The cashier was very friendly. It was a Saturday so they had extra avocado and falafel that was going to go to waste so they just gave to us for free. Falafels we're amazingly crispy on the outside and moist inside. The sandwich bread is baked exclusively for them and is to die for. I'll definitely be back. read more

Pre-COVID review: Per the recommendation from my brother, we feasted on some delicious eats at Döner Shack. We got the rice plate with chicken and the Döner wrap with mix (both chicken and lamb beef). A combo is $3 more for pita, hummus and a small drink. Both items tasted excellent and were filling! You can't go wrong with either of them. Since we dined here before COVID, there was a few spaces inside for you to dine in. Definitely more of the space was people in line to order and we saw more people ordering to-go. read more

One word - DELICIOUS. I used to go here years ago when I was a student at HPU. I haven't been back for years, until now. This time, I ordered the Shack salad with lamb and beef (salad has feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, a side of their salad dressing and topped with their yogurt sauce). I also purchased a side of pita and their cilantro bomb sauce. Everything mixed together was so delicious and I also used the pita to create my own wrap (it's like I had 2 different meals!) The meat was tender and flavorful. Highly recommend! read more
