    Doner
    David L.

    Been searching for authentic Turkish doner (perfect blend of lamb and beef) in SoCal for quite sometime. So happy to have found DC. The doner is tender, juicy and flavorful. Really don't need much sauce or anything to dress it up. Enjoyed the doner plate with tomatoes and onions. The creamy baba ghanoush was also tasty.

    Doner Plate

    Ended 2025 trying Doner Corner for the first time on New Year's Eve. I ordered the Doner plate and Sojouk & Cheese Pide. I was told by the owner that their doner meat is so flavorful that it doesn't need any sauce. But I'm a saucy American girl and ordered the tzatziki just in case. He was not wrong, the meat was quite flavorful and delicious, but I did dip the meat and pita and lavash in the tzatziki cause I like to dip baby dip. Fries were basic. 4/5 The pide, much like a football shaped pizza, was good, but the sojouk (sausage) had an intense smokey flavor that I couldn't quite get over. It was good, just not for me. 3/5 Customer service was great. The owner taking my order was very nice, and gave me free Turkish tea and Turkish delight while I waited for my food. Will I be back? Yes. I enjoyed the doner meat and would like try the Iskender and a sandwich. I would not order a pide again. Once was enough. Bonus: great authentic Turkish food nearby Bogus: unfortunately, the prices. I know we are paying for quality, but these prices for casual dining are making it harder and harder.

    It has taken me far too long to write this! My (Turkish) wife and i come here at least once a month and it hits every time! The iskander is one of the best we've ever had, the pide is amazing (get the soujak and cheese) and definitely order a lahmacjun. The family that owns it is incredibly nice. End the meal with a kunefe and an Apple Tea and thank me later

    the Lahmajun- my favorite! It taste like the most flavorful flatbread I've ever had

    I think I would've missed the spot, but I came here with a Turkish friend and I'm really glad I discovered this place. we came here as a group because one of my friends celebrate Ramadan and, I loved the special they were serving during that time! it was a great way for me to sample a variety of foods I had never had before. I recently was in the area and I stopped by again. we had the donor plate and the lahmajun-which is my personal favorite, which taste like a very delicious slightly more exotic flatbread.. it seems like a small operation, but everybody that works there is very efficient. I love supporting small businesses. LA is overfilled with trendy restaurants, I am so happy that little hole in the wall restaurants like this exist. With great service and excellent food. definitely stop by and try!

    First time having Lahmajun, and it didn't disappoint! it was crispy, soft, fragrant and fresh! The quick squeeze of the lemon made a huge difference and complimented the lahmajun. My friends also enjoyed their food. Portions were pretty huge, and imo , shareable. The service was also great. They were so friendly and helpful. Parking can be found on the streets.

    Lahmacun and Iskender
    Aylin S.

    I truly can't believe it's taken me this long to write this review!! Doner Corner is hands down the best Turkish food in LA. The doner here is unbelievably fresh. The iskender is so goood and they come to your table sometimes to drop butter on your plate (iykyk). It's my go-to order every single time but husband and I also always order 3 entrees. Doner sandwich, doner plate, lahmacun, and pide... are all so good. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. We come here at least once a week, that's how much we love it. Consistently delicious, comforting, and so satisfying every single visit. If you're looking for the best Turkish food in LA, this is it. Cannot recommend enough.

    Iskender Kebab

    Been here multiple times since they first opened but must say they are doing a much better job with Shawarma/Gyro. It was delicious and very well done compare to before. Service was very good. We appreciated to see clean tables free of piles of plates and dirty napkins left on other tables while we dine, which I really don't like. They definitely improved. I highly recommend you try this place.

    First time having authentic Turkish food and it was incredible! Unique, fresh flavors that I've never had before. Highly recommend the Doner Iskender and Kunefe. The staff was super friendly and they have specials during the week. 10/10

    Doner Sandwich
    Asli A.

    Great food, cute location! Out of all the Turkish restaurants in LA, this is currently one of the best. It's got a clean, neat environment with an open kitchen. You order at the register, and the food comes to your table. Plenty of seating. Service was really fast, even though we went at a super crowded time. They make everything from scratch, including their pita, which is a huge plus. I tried the Iskender, sujuk & cheese pide, lahmacun, çiğ köfte, and homemade ayran. My favorites were the sujuk & cheese pide and the lahmacun. The Iskender was good too. Their döner meat is really tasty and thinly sliced, but I felt like it needed to cook a little more. Prices are decent. Overall, very much recommended!

    Lahmajun
    Vedia S.

    We went here for dinner and the experience was very disappointing, mainly due to poor service and lack of professionalism. There were three staff members working (an older man and two young women), yet basic customer care was missing. We were seated as two guests but only one set of utensils was brought to the table. When we asked for another, the staff seemed distracted and were laughing among themselves instead of addressing the request properly. Later, when I asked for extra parsley, the server attempted to take food directly from our plate at the table instead of bringing a small side plate, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. Despite leaving a good tip, the level of service never improved. There was no attentiveness, no courtesy, and no sense of experience. As for the food, we ordered lahmacun. For a meat-based dish, it lacked flavor and had very little meat--mostly peppers--making it unbalanced and disappointing. Overall, this place failed both in service and food quality. I won't be returning and would not recommend it to others.

    Came here for a group dinner on a Wednesday evening with some friends to celebrate our…read morefriendiversary! Bavel has been at the top of our list of places we've all wanted to try, so we were very excited to finally make it happen. Walking in, the space is beautiful and feels very elevated while still having that open-concept feel. There are cute plants and vines hanging from the ceiling and an open kitchen where you can see everything happening. The lighting was interesting though. Our table was lit very brightly, while some of the other tables looked much more dimly lit and intimate. Our server was great, and the sommelier was wonderful as well. We went with wine pairings throughout our meal, starting with a splash of sparkling white wine. HUMMUS DUCK 'NDUJA (tahini, parsley, cilantro, sumac, blistered pita)10/10. This was DELICIOUS. The texture and flavors were everything. SILKY smooth hummus with that fatty, deep flavor from the duck 'nduja. My goodness, I would like to drink it. The warm pita that came with it was pillowy soft and perfect for scooping everything up. Amazing dish. I would order this every single time, hands down. DRY AGED TROUT CRUDO (coconut citrus broth, charred chill & onion, mandarinquat, turmeric ginger oil, kaffir lime) 8/10. Crudo was yummy with the coconut citrus sauce. Tangy, a little sweet, herby, zesty, with the fattiness of the fish. But I didn't taste anything especially different even if it was dry aged. ROASTED CAULIFLOWER (vegetable curry sauce, rose pickled beets, garam masala, horseradish, cilantro)7.5/10. This dish was good, but nothing spectacular compared to everything else we had. The flavors were there, but overall it tasted a little more muted in comparison to the rest of the meal. GRILLED OCTOPUS (skordalia potatoes, broccoli, lamb XO, dill, lemon, olive oil)9/10. Loved! SO TENDER. I've had plenty of octopus that ends up chewy or overcooked, so I really appreciated how perfectly this was cooked. ROMANO BEAN TEMPURA (cashew cardamom cream, tomato date chutney, black garlic aioli, smoked habanero)8/10. The sauces were SO good with the tempura beans. The batter was very light and crispy, while the beans themselves were cooked until just tender enough. Such a good bite in terms of both texture and flavor. SLOW ROASTED LAMB NECK SHAWARMA (tahini, ajika, pickled vegetables, carob molasses, laffa)10/10. AMAZING DISH. The meat literally fell off the bone. I already love the flavor of lamb, and this one was just chef's kiss. The tangy pickled vegetables paired with the rich lamb and tahini worked so well together and made for the perfect bite. 10/10 would recommend if you like lamb and have people to share it with! 22OZ BONELESS MARGARET RIVER RIBEYE (fermented mushroom cream, marinated cucumbers, dill)9.5/10. This was cooked SO WELL. The fermented mushroom cream was an amazing sauce to pair with the steak. There are a lot of rich, fatty elements here, so the marinated cucumbers were perfect for breaking everything up and balancing the bite. One of my biggest takeaways from the entire meal: DO NOT SKIP THE SAUCES. Every sauce, condiment, and side that came with the dishes felt intentional and elevated the flavors exponentially. 10/10 sauce situation going on at Bavel. For dessert: STRAWBERRY SUMAC & SWEET CHEESE PASTRY (pistachio ice cream, sheep's milk ricotta, cured sumac)9/10. I'm not a huge sweets person, but this really hit the spot. I do love a good pastry, and the ricotta was just sweet enough without being too sweet, which in my eyes makes for a perfect dessert. NOUGAT ICE CREAM BAR (dark pecan caramel, chocolate butter cake, chocolate shell)9/10. Another great dessert. Loved the chocolate, the deep caramel flavor, and the nuttiness from the pecan. Great textures too, although the chocolate shell made it a little difficult to cut and share! Honestly, I want to come back just for the hummus. Everything was delicious, the wine pairings were great, portions were generous enough for sharing, and the service was wonderful. Bavel is such a lovely spot for an elevated dining experience, whether you're coming with a group or for a date night. Loved our experience here. Thanks for a great meal, Bavel!

    the good: mushroom kebab was nicely seared with crisp edges (waiter suggested a pistachio sauce…read morerather than cream); the pinkish trout was pretty much a cebiche in a coconut-type marinade. didn't try the salad nor the pâté, but sitting at the counter watched both being made and they seemed appealing. the mediocre: the shawarma is the most written-about item. it's a sizeable lump of very fatty meat, and treated as such--more akin to the most gelatinous cut brisket or pastrami than to shawarma. ok, but not keen to eat this again. the bad: mostly the price...ok, it's not street shawarma or cebiche, so one would certainly pay far more in for the restaurant versions. but this is now about double even the inflated pricing. the place is hopping with a mostly younger crowd and just enough tourists to keep it filled...
