The perfect quick and affordable meal! I popped in here for a quick bite while running errands downtown and it did not disappoint. I really appreciated the quality service. The woman taking my order was helpful and welcoming. I got the rice plate. It was filling, but not heavy. Not a big place, very chill vibes. read more

Yesterday was my first time visiting and eating from this family shop! Have heard and been told about it, but never had the chance. Tucked away on the dead end of Pauahi st. My coworkers and I were lucky we walked in at the right time. As soon as we placed our fairly large orders. There was a lot of customers coming in for their usual lunch orders. Staff was nice and friendly. I had the salad with half lamb and beef. Side order of pita bread. Our coworkers we bought them wraps with also half and half on the meat. Some of them were hesitant bc we said lamb. But as soon as they tried it. They loved it. Definitely will be visiting again to try their other foods!! Street metered parking is your best bet. Then walk on over to the shop. That's your best bet with having a chance to try their food. read more

If you need some late night food hit these guys up they be wiping it up 100% percent

I'm surprised I've never reviewed Doner Shack before. If you ask anyone working in Downtown their list of top 10 lunch spots, I guarantee 90% would have Doner Shack on their list. The other 10% probably bring home lunch majority of the time... if only I could be like them, my wallet would be so much happier haha. No need to be too lengthy because there's not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but you must try the rice plate. It comes with a small side salad (with amazing dressing), and a bed of yummy yellow rice. The yogurt sauce they drizzle on top toes it all together perfectly. I usually get the lamb plate but it's really up to you. You can't go wrong with the chicken either. And if you're a fan of spicy, grab a container of their hot sauce. I promise you'll like it. If you're not feeling like eating your weight in carbs that day, the salad is a good alternative. I always find myself sad I don't have some of the rice though whenever I order the salad. Lol I wonder if I can get a side of rice, similar to how they give you the side salad when you order the rice plate. You know what? I'm gonna ask next time I've also heard good things about the wrap if you don't want as many carbs as the rice plate offers you, but need to have some carbs in your life. read more

Had the beef/lamb rice plate and it was flavorful. For a rice plate, it felt light and healthy with the salad. Didn't even wait to take a pic, just ate lol read more

Came here during my attempt at following a keto diet, which just so happened to be the time that this place was facing thousands in fines for breaking COVID regulations (oops). I got the shack salad with meat (a mix of chicken and lamb) and avocado, and poured all of the included sauces on. The food is reminiscent of halal carts in NYC, although I don't think the food is halal, you can't find this on every other street corner downtown, and they have salads. The lettuce was fresh and crisp, the meat was nicely spicy and added an extra crunch to the salad and the avocado was creamy. Super filling and decently priced compared to other salads downtown. read more

Döner Shack - Shack salad with avocado - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I try to live life with no regrets... however the only regret that has been haunting me has been not discovering Döner Shack sooner. Trust me when I say that it was love at first bite. It was a Friday morning and I had just finished wrapping up a mountain of emails--it seemed fitting that I treat myself to a mountain of food to compensate for the mountain of emails I tackled. My stomach was rumbling and I was in the mood for some Mediterranean food. I searched far and wide and saw that Döner Shack was opening soon. I placed my order for a mixed meat plate and had it delivered. #WFHlife. The food came to me hot and fresh. The meat was tender and juicy, rice was fluffy, and the total time it took from placing my order to my mouth was quick! The mixed meat plate came with lamb and chicken, rice, and salad--I scarfed the whole plate down. Don't ask me if I took a breath in between bites because I'm pretty sure I didn't. Did I also mention that the plate cost less than $10?! What a deal! To say I'm addicted would be an understatement, I've eaten here 3 times in the last month... no regrets, right? read more

My boyfriend and I LOVE this place. It's our go to place when we're in town and very nostalgic for us since we both went to HPU. The flavor hasn't changed since 2012/2013 and that's saying something. Staff is really nice too. read more

Döner Shack - Rice plate with lamb and extra garlic sauce - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Let me state this is one of my favorite places to eat here in Oahu. Whatever you choose is Delicious as a Wrap, Sandwich, Salad with Rice or Pita. Each time I come I switch it up. The produce is Fresh as is the freshly baked bread they use. Don has a wonderful kind way and his team are on point. This is also one of the rare places here where you can enter and eat without a Face Diaper. Mahalo for making the most delicious Kebabs in Hawaii and for also being a Trailblazer standing up to Tyranny. read more

I got their Doner Wrap that was STUFFED to the brim. You can choose your meat, veggies, and sauce, so I got it with their lamb/beef doner kebab and yogurt garlic, and it was spectacular. What I love about Mediterranean food is that there are so many vegetables, but also flavorful meat cuts (lamb, chicken, beef). They had about 4 tables that you can dine-in and 2 tables outside of the establishment. This is also a great quick lunch takeout for any busy people who works in Downtown as well! read more

First time checking this place out. Live in the area for 1 year and I wish I went here sooner. Food is excellent, fresh, tasty, filling!!! Service is chill, very relaxed and inviting. Ambiance - just like your average New York middle Eastern joint! Love It! Inviting, not pretentious or modern but just what it needs to be! Will recommend to my friends read more

I know this place is famous for the owner not wearing a mask, but it's still one of my go to lunch spots in downtown. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. I'd recommend ordering the Doner rice plate. I usually get it with a mix of chicken and lamb/beef. I really love that it comes with the yellow jasmine rice, salad and the nice tangy sauce on top. They also have wraps and salads if you're looking for lower carb options. Or they even have sandwiches which I will definitely have to try next time. Overall, this place is so bomb and you can't beat their prices. A plate for under $10 is pretty hard to find nowadays. Also, I've been seeing the owner wearing a mask! read more

Love their veggie wrap. Best place to get a veggie wrap with avocado I. Town with the best prices I'm came across. Such a friendly staff. I went there so much they knew exactly what I order. Fast and convenient perfect place to get lunch read more

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Who knew shawarmas / doners could be so good? :) Good value - worth the wait! === 2. FOOD To wrap or not to wrap? That is the real question! Doner Plate ($9 including tax): think deconstructed doner - your meat (lamb or chicken, or a mix of both) served on a bed of saffron rice with a good portion of side salad. No skimping here - hungry souls will likely find their tasty fill here! === 3. SERVICE It's supposed to be fast food, but with the popularity of the place, you're going to be waiting a while after ordering. Staff seem to be working as quickly as they can, and they're always polite. === 4. ATMOSPHERE The bar-style counter and the few tables provide a token possibility of eating in...because without AC and with the seemingly-constant line of patrons waiting to order (or waiting for their order), you're likely going to be taking your food to-go. As with all Fort Street Mall businesses, parking is likely limited to a downtown tower, or street parking on the edge of Chinatown. read more

Döner Shack - Doner Plate ($9 tax incl.): ono combo of meats on rice with side salad! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Consistently awesome wraps! Returned as soon as the stupid covid restrictions became less restrictive. Bro in law always get the California wrap, which is super big. Sis and I will stick to the lamb wrap, sometimes with yogurt sauce, sometimes with hummus, both delicious. read more

I can't believe they halved their portion sizes! Their food is delish and I wish they upped their prices some over just cutting the size in half. The Shack Salad is no longer enough to be considered a meal. I can't eat here anymore for lunch because I'm still hungry! What a shame. read more

Döner Shack - Shack Salad - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

!CAUTION! This place is good. If you're looking for fresh, clean food. Doner Shack is the right place. Taking on a more Mediterranean approach to cooking, Doner Shack does not disappoint. The amount of food you get for what you pay is great. Most importantly though, the food is flavorful. Located in Ft. Street Mall across from the Hawaii Theater and Scarlet Honolulu (attached to Sofritto), Doner Shack has a small menu, but there is surely something for every eater. Their sauces are made fresh in-house and are delicious. If you go around lunch time, beware, the line could get crazy. Rest assured, you'll get your food quickly, Id just like to point out that their lunch rush is sometimes, unreal. read more

Wow can u say hidden gem! This place is perfect for lunch or even dinner. You know the place is good if there's a line out the door! If you work in downtown, it's the perfect spot to hit. If not, you'll have to find parking on the street or in the Chinatown lots, but it's worth the parking struggle. The menu consists of rice plates, wraps, and salads. You pick your type of entree and meat (chicken, lamb/beef, or mix). I got the mixed meat rice plate which came with a side salad, saffron rice, and lots of meat. Can you say delicious? The plate is $9, which is a great price considering how much food you're getting. I finished it all of course, but it is enough for two meals! read more

We are visiting from California, and googled food nearby and we love Mediterranean food. We decided to try this place and we're really glad we did! Very friendly staff! The tables are well spaced apart, just have limited tables available, so I'd say there's about 4 or 5 tables available to sit at, so wouldn't suggest for larger groups. We got the chicken shawarma plate and shared it because it was a large portion. It was so so delicious! The garlic yogurt sauce is amazing! So was the hummus! The chicken was so tender and juicy! Everyone was wearing masks, and even though they were super busy, they got everyone's orders out super quickly! Great spot for lunch or dinner if you're nearby! Thanks again guys! read more

I used Uber Eats to place an order from this place since I was at work and don't really have an entire lunch hour to myself. Looking at their menu, I was excited to try their lamb and beef wrap and plate. I also ordered hummus and pita bread. My UberEats driver was fast, knew exactly where to deliver my order and I was ecstatic that it was hassle-free. The food was fresh and tasty! The lamb and beef were tender and I enjoyed every bit of it. Diner Shack was fast, professional and didn't forget a thing! I requested for utensils and not too many places remember to add them. Or it very well may be my UberEats driver who remembered to get them for me? Who know, I just know my lunch today was a pleasant experience and I look forward to ordering from there again! There are other items on the menu I would like to try! read more

Never sat in and ate here but who cares the food is good! Thank you for feeding meeeeee read more

The owner is something else. When I was picking up my food he was cursing at his employees, who were seniors in front of numerous customers, like nothing was wrong. I felt so bad and embarrassed for them as he was belittling and treating them like trash in front of a huge crowd of customers. If they aren't doing a good enough job, maybe he should train them properly so they can do their job "good enough" for him, as any responsible business owner should. The whole situation was just uncomfortable and I've seen this happen on three separate occasions. The food has also good way downhill. The prices are high and the portions have decreased by half. Take your business elsewhere. There is no love in this food. I'm never coming back! read more

I love the Doner wraps. Every bite is an explosion of flavors. I always get the mixed Doner half lamb & chicken, also when you order you have to tell them you want the cilantro sauce, cause if you don't they won't give it to you. read more

Best plave in downtown. Generous amount of meat in the plates, and the sauces were amazing.

This place definitely hits the spot when you want Greek food! The diner wrap was delicious!

I first tried döner in Germany and it was one of my favorite things to eat over there. When I found out about Döner Shack, I knew I had to go! Man, did they not disappoint! The quality of their food is so good and it is definitely made with love. I savored every bite and I will definitely be going back again. The food proportions are perfect for the price you pay. I got the lamb/beef kebab rice plate with hot sauce and peppers The only cons I'd have to mention are the hours and the location. It is not friendly for those who work full time hours during the day as they close by 5pm. It would be amazing if they had later hours just like the döner joints in Germany. As far as the location, you have to find street parking in an area that is not very safe. I can see how this could be a reason they close earlier. I gave 4 stars only because of those two cons. Food and service are 5 stars! read more

I stopped by Döner Shack because another fast food restaurant was closed. The scent from this place pulled me in. I was hesitant to try something new, but I love shawarma and kebab so I threw caution to the wind. At the register, the cashier walked me through where to start and I got the rice plate with chicken. Then I saw you could add fries to the order so I dives in and snagged those fries too. It was the perfect mix of yummiliciousness. I enjoyed it so much I came back a few days later and had it for lunch. This is definitely a jewel and worth a try. They have a good selection of dishes and you will leave satisfied. Don't pass this hole in the wall up. It's worth every bite. read more

It's been YEARS I've been going to Donner, since they used to be a truck that would come down during first Fridays. It used to remind me of something you'd find in New York or DC with the awesome middle eastern food trucks. To be honest, I don't know what to call their food. It feels kinda greek, or middle eastern, with touches of mexican. But I guess what I can for sure call it is Amazing! Through all these years, the food continues to taste great and the prices have always been affordable. There's a good amount of food too. I think it's been consistent because the owner guy still works there and manages the kitchen staff and does most of the real cooking. He's great, wish I knew his name all these years later. I've tried their salads and wraps but other people almost exclusively eat their rice plates because they say it's so good. I'm watching my boyish figure so I don't get the rice plates. The wraps always fill me up the most and both the lamb and the chicken taste great. I used to get mixed but now I just get chicken and the flavor doesn't get lost. Pro tip: call ahead. They get busy. Really busy. But if you call ahead and wait about 20 minutes for pick up you'll be fine. Pro tip 2: if you are going to be eating in there you'll probably go home smelling like the food. It might not be bad to smell like such awesome food, but just he aware. read more

Döner Shack - Salad with chicken and avocado added - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

One year ago when I discovered this place in downtown, I've been wanting to come here. I tried coming here during my lunchtime between class and it was closed! I finally got a chance to try here with my friends. Hoooray! Jeez it was busy. There were about 4 people working that day. The kitchen was wide open and you can see what they were doing. It was a small menu but there was a lot of options I want to try. I decided on the mix (chicken and lamb) rice plate $8. I don't like lamb because of its gamey taste. But I wanted to try it here. The rice plate came with turmeric rice (I think), salad, half chicken meat strips, half lamb meat strips, and a greek sauce drizzled on top. Hot sauce was on the side if you want but very spicy. The meat was cooked well. I'm very surprised that the lamb didn't have a gamey taste. Loved it! The rice was fluffy and soft. The plate was pretty big. Huge portion for $8. And it was sooo good!! I ate it all. Yes, that usually doesn't happen. They have seatings inside but limited. It was also very hot inside so we took it out somewhere else to eat. I'll be back for sure to try other items on the menu!!!! Yes yes! read more

Döner Shack - Chicken and lamb rice plate $8 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

5 stars for the food, as there is no denying that it is super tasty and reasonably priced. I love all the spices and flavor in the meats. My go-to is the lamb-beef rice plate, though once they accidentally gave me a mix plate (which included chicken) and I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful and moist the chicken is. OMG, their in-house yogurt sauce and hot sauce is SOOOOOO GOOD. I am not a huge fan of rice but their rice is fragrant and flavorful enough from that hint of safron. A couple times, the rice was rushed and a bit undercooked from them trying to push out their orders. They are generally really busy during lunch, so I highly recommend ordering ahead. But be prepared to be as quick and thorough on the phone as possible as they are known to be sometimes abrupt (or even rude) on the phone due to them just being slammed by orders. But regardless, there is no denying the addicting deliciousness of their food that keeps me coming back for more. read more

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

Pre-pandemic, Doner Shack was my go-to for lunch for many years. Even after I left work in the downtown area, I'd frequently come back despite parking being a pain. That's how good the food was. Fast forward to present day. I was scrolling through DoorDash and was excited to see Doner Shack listed and immediately placed an order for pick up. The order went through and said it would take around 45 minutes and would be ready by 12:45pm. Ok, pretty typical wait time since it's through a food delivery app. I was starving but decided the food would be worth the wait. 45 minutes later, I arrived promptly but there was about 7 people in line and no signs of a separate line for food pick up so I waited patiently for another 10 minutes till I got up to the counter. I spoke to an older gentleman and explained to him I was here to pickup my DoorDash order. He went to check and came back telling me there's no order under my name and that they've already shut off DoorDash so my order wasn't supposed to have gone through. I told him that on the app, it even said my order had been accepted and the food was being prepared. I also work in a restaurant that utilizes DoorDash so someone definitely clicked "accept" on my order or else it would've notified me that it was rejected. He just blinked at me and shrugged, showing zero sympathy. Then I asked him if he can make the food still? Without even checking, he immediately said "no we're running out of food so.." and shrugs again. Not even one apologetic look on his face or even a sorry. I looked around and there were at least 10 people waiting and 5-7 people behind me in line to order so I'm 100% sure they could've made my order. Out of frustration, I left empty handed and requested a refund on my DoorDash order. Looking back, I probably should've went in person to order (I would've gotten my food faster too) but why partner with food delivery apps when they aren't even going to pay attention to it, let alone not care that my order was missing when I got there and didn't even try to replace it!? In the end, maybe it was a blessing in disguise that my order didn't go through, because every single employee including the kitchen workers were maskless and they are infamous for standing their ground on this matter as well. In addition to the poor service I got, I will not be returning. read more

Love doner shack! Super quick service, I usually just put an order in online so I can park right in front and run in to grab it! The shack salad is my favorite but recently tried the pita plate and it might be my new go to! read more

First visit to Döner Shack. I've heard/read good things about this eatery on Fort Street Mall. Also, read/heard about long lines. This Saturday afternoon it was not that crowded...it did feel more like a lazy Sunday afternoon, perhaps because it was so hot & humid that peeps were indoors or at the beach/pool. Got there after peak hours around 1400, which usually means less of a crowd...and the "tweener hours" are good for dining-in at a place with a small seating capacity. There are 3 or 4 tables and counter seating. Small menu but that is not a bad thing. Requested the Döner wrap with lamb/beef...there is a chicken option...very good. Cashier was very friendly and my wrap was cooked after placing my order. read more

Döner Shack - Been craving This for a while and there's not another place like this on the west side of the island! Rice plate lamb so yum! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

There aren't many places in downtown Honolulu where you can get a filling and reasonably priced lunch. Döner Shack is located on Fort Street Mall between Subway Sandwiches and Soffritto. If you want something light, get the Shack Salad with meats and sauces/dressing on the side. They use romaine lettuce and they chop it small pieces that can fit in your mouth so no knife needed to eat their salad. If you're okay with a heavier lunch, get the Döner rice plate. It comes with saffron rice, meat, and a side salad. For the meat, you can choose chicken or beef & lamb or have both; mix. I enjoy the beef & lamb because it has more flavor that the chicken by itself. They also have wraps and vegetarian options. The items on their menu are priced between $7 - $12. The shack salad and Döner rice plate are $9.75 each. Those are my go-to items and I alternate depending on the weather. If it's a warm day, I'll get the salad; if it's cold, I'll get the rice. The best time to come is before 11:45am. The line is short and only a few people are sitting inside eating. If you're in a rush, I recommend calling in your order to minimize the wait time. Sometimes, they won't make your order until you get to the shop and pay. If you're coming here after 12pm, expect to wait 20 minutes or more for your food. Everything is served take out style. They have a few tables and a counter with bar stools so you can enjoy your food there. Some of the chairs and stools are shaky so sit at your own risk. They accept cash and credit card now. For parking, Mark's Garage is the closest and there's metered street parking on Bethel Street. read more
