    Beef and Lamb Döner Kebab
    Tim M.

    Good experience! So let me give you a little bit of nuance. I lived a year in Berlin so I will try not to compare too harshly because the Döners in Berlin are the best IMHO. That being said, my beef and lamb döner was legitimately good! I was pleasantly surprised at how close the bread was to the German style. Also the veggies were very legit! Garlic sauce was excellent (VERY garlicky- which is a good thing!). Meat was decent, not the best. Overall I'd give the sandwich a 7.5/10. I think this is the most authentic döner I've had in Seattle. Good experience, friendly staff and cozy shop. If you're not familiar with the döner, which was invented in Berlin, you should try this spot, it was pretty good!

    Chicken Doner Plate

    Ordered the chicken doner plate. A year ago, the portions were double, even triple the size of what I got today. Flavor is there but for $18, you are getting a kid's meal here. Sauce is an extra ~$1.

    Döner Box was a pleasant surprise for me as soon as I arrived in Belltown. I hadn't eaten in about seven hours and needed food fast, and I was specifically craving falafel--so this spot felt like the right choice. I debated between the falafel wrap and the falafel döner, but ultimately went with the falafel wrap, and I'm glad I did. The falafel was made fresh to order--crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Everything in the wrap, including the sauces and fixings, complemented the portion perfectly and made it very satisfying. To add more protein, I ordered the garlic tofu, which was also made fresh and fried to a perfect crisp. Both dishes took a little time to prepare, but it was absolutely worth the wait. The experience felt very personal and welcoming--the worker who prepared my food was accommodating and genuinely made me feel at home. The location was also convenient, not far from my hotel, which was a big plus. Everything tasted fresh, and I honestly considered coming back again the very next day. I'll definitely return to try both dishes again--and maybe the falafel döner next time. They also offer a selection of imported European beers. Personally, I'm a bit skeptical of how well those flavors translate after export--they don't always taste the same to me--but for those who enjoy imported options, there's a solid variety available. Overall, I really liked this place. If you're in the area and craving fresh, flavorful falafel, I definitely recommend checking it out.

    After living in Germany for many years I often crave a good döner kebab which are difficult to find in the U.S. So imagine my surprise when I discovered a place that bills itself as making authentic German style kebabs. The restaurant is quite small with only a few seats but the service was friendly and prompt. I had the Döner sandwich and my family tried the Döner box. We also ordered some Greek French fries as a side dish. Everything tasted good, but it wasn't a traditional Döner. The restaurant is also a little bit untidy and not well ventilated so we left with our clothes needing to be aired out. I don't know that I would return but I would recommend that if you go, you take your food to go. Is my review a little harsh? Perhaps. As I said, having had quite a few Döners in Germany I may be a tough critic.

    I revisited this place and had their doner sandwich with chicken. It was very flavorful and not dry at all. It was definitely better than my previous experience, which means that I'll have to go back and try again to validate the flavors, i.e. just an excuse to have a sandwich.

    Doner Box offered me a really affordable lunch wrap near the Seattle Center that was perfect to enjoy on a sunny Seattle afternoon. I came here after seeing they had some really good vegan options on the menu. They offer falafels and marinated spicy tofu as your vegan protein of choice, and you can top it off with their tahini sauce to complete the meal. I ended up doing the former for my gigantic wrap - crispy chunks of falafel snugged inside warm pita with all the fixings. Veggies were pretty good as well but nothing too noteworthy. Together with the sauce, it was a really portable and tasty lunch. Their shop is quite small with limited counter seating that faces the street, so you could dine inside and do a bit of people watching. However, I'd recommend just grabbing and going somewhere nearby (like Olympic Sculpture Park) to enjoy your food.

    Doner box with carved chicken

    Was in Belltown and Doner Box popped up in the area as a good option to visit with the positive reviews, and as a person who enjoys Mediterranean cuisine, we decided to swing by and give this place a try! We went on a Saturday around 12:30pm, ordered and got our food within 5 minutes. I got the Doner Box with Carved chicken, and I thought that this box of food was only alright in terms of quality. Although the chicken was lukewarm, it was soft and soaked up the garlic yogurt sauce that I got nicely - There was a decent amount of spices on the chicken as well. If I were to return, I would probably try and get the plate next time, as the box wasn't very filling - it basically acted as a chicken salad for $13. We also had to remind the cashier that we ordered a baklava as it didn't come out till after we had completely finished eating our boxes. I wouldn't fault the workers for getting this out to us as we ordered it with our meals if the restaurant was busy, but there was only like two other customers at the time and it feels like they just forgot about that part of our order and would have never received it unless reminded. Overall, I would say that Doner Box is only alright in terms of quality and price. As mentioned above, the Doner box with chicken was like $13 for chicken over mostly salad, which to me personally isn't as worth it. I'm not sure if I would revisit, but if these are only my thoughts - feel free to stop by if you want to give this place a try.

    First review of 2023!!! I have heard a lot of good things about this place so I was excited to check them out. We ordered the carved chicken plate as takeout but ended up eating there to eat anyway since we had time. The plate gives you an option of salad, fries, or rice as a base. We chose a salad. It also came with a variety of sauce options in which we got the spicy cilantro. The food was pretty good. The portion was generous. I like that the salad was spinach base on not salad base. The chicken had good flavoring but was a little dry. I was eyeing the couple next to us and their sandwich looks so I might have to go back to give that a try as well :) Space is small and can fir maybe 4-6 people so definitely cater to mostly take out.

    TLDR: Doner box is a delicious place, perfect for lunch. They have flavorful meats in good portions wishing you had space for more! I randomly stumbled across this place in downtown Seattle since another restaurant I frequent was closed, and boy am I happy that I discovered this little gem. I ordered a doner plate with beef and lamb gyro, which came with a light green creamy sauce. The highlight of the dish, as you would expect, was the gyro which was bustling with flavor. It was super tender and had a strong peppery flavor which would usually be overpowering, but I actually quite enjoyed the super strong peppery flavor which I thought balanced well with the really rich meat flavor. My only reservation would be that I wish that the gyro was a bit juicier, as it came off as a bit dry. The supporters of the gyro were surprisingly also stars on their own. I was pleasantly surprised at how crunchy the fries were, and the side salad was actually pretty tasty too, sporting juicy cherry tomatoes and fresh crunchy lettuce. Overall, doner box is a super underrated place which I will most definitely be going back to!

    Doner plate is where it's at. Garlic Yogurt and Spict Cilantro sauce. Hefty portions, great lunch option in Belltown for $15.

    I am so sorry to hear that Kabul Afghan Cuisine is closing. I became a big fan during COVID, but…read morerecently went here is person when I heard the owners were retiring and they were going to close. The restaurant is comfortable (but if you are to go before they close, get there early because lines are long). Service was friendly and great. For appetizers, we had Bolani (potato turnovers) and Burta (eggplant and garlic). Both were unique dishes are really delicious, everyone in our party loved them and they were gone quickly. However what I love and will miss so much are the kabobs. I leaned to the lamb, but often got the steak. They were always cooked perfectly with just the ideal combination of spices. Really delicious. They will be missed.

    Kabul Afghan Cuisine absolutely blew me away. I came with my friends, a party of 5 so we had to…read morewait about 10-15 mins but it was 10000% worth it. We shared a bunch of appetizers: bolani, burta, and the mushroom qorma. Burta was my fav but every single dish was so flavorful. For my mains, I got the murgh kebab.. the chicken was so tender and well-marinated but the flavored rice stole the show for me. Also the place feels super authentic, cozy, warm, not trying too hard, just real. And the owner was hilarious, so witty, and made the whole experience feel extra special. You can tell he cares and it shows. Now the saddest part: I just found out this restaurant has been around for decades and is closing forever soon. Truly heartbreaking! I really wish I'd discovered it sooner. If you've been meaning to go, don't wait. This spot is a gem and def deserves a visit before it's gone. FYI, it closes on Jan 3rd 2026!
