    Spartan's Plate
    Xin L.

    I've been to Doner Shack several times, to all of their locations, and it never misses. I came here during lunch, and I got the Spartan Plate, it is a LOT of food. I feel like a regular rice or pita plate would suffice for most. However, the Spartan Plate, in my opinion, has everything you need (I heavily recommend, if you cant finish it, take it home and heat it up, it is just as good). They have seating inside and outside of the establishment, but I've only done take out here. Their service is decently fast and some of the workers are very friendly, some of my coworkers seem to know them. After waiting for like 10ish minutes it is ready. I HEAVILY recommend getting their sauces and even requesting for more. I love spicy and saucy food so I like to drown the meats and rice in the sauce.

    Good spot for quick healthy lunch plate that will fill you up & you will have left overs. Prices are reasonable for great food. Love their basmati rice on their Doner rice plate & I get the sauces on the side... yogurt , hot sauce & balsamic dressing. Service is prompt & friendly.

    Pita plate with beef

    Doner Shack is our office go-to. We call ahead for bigger orders, and wait in the same line as everybody else to pay. Our order is always ready when we get there on the counter. I pretty much always get the same thing - lamb rice plate with a side of pita and hummus. Don't forget the green sauce!

    Chicken schwarma rice plate

    Came here with some co-workers. It was my first time. Line to order moved quickly and order came out within 10 min. The lady taking my order was super friendly and kind. The meal it self was good. The chicken was cooked well, juicy, and flavorful. The green sauce gave it a nice flavor. I enjoyed the salad on the side - very fresh and crunchy. The rice was just okay for me. Some parts were clumpy and some were super dry. I just mixed it with the sauce and chicken and it made it better. Only downside is I had a small shrimp tail (?) or something plasticky in my chicken. Very minor and I just spit it on the side. Overall, I would try again - probably a wrap or something else.

    Doner Sandwich (mixed meats)

    Shortly after returning back from my trip overseas, I decided to run errands in downtown. Top on the list was to return my passport and place it in the safe deposit box with my Suica card. I parked in the municipal parking lot and passed by Döner Shack (DS) heading to my bank. I've passed by DS 100's of times, in addition to working on Bishop St for several years and never set foot into this restaurant. DS has been around for over 10yrs as they started off with a cart offering Mediterranean food and then expanded by moving into a retail space where they are currently are. I've been eating primarily Japanese food for 2 weeks and needed a change so the aromas from DS got my attention where I stepped foot after running my errands and heading back to my car. My timing was good as it was before the lunch crowd so I was immediately waited on upon entry. I wasn't really hungry so I decided on a sandwich. When asked what meat, I didn't know how to reply as I didn't study the menu prior to entering. The female staff informed me of the options and ended up in getting the mixed one. After paying, I waited patiently on the side where you could observe the staff and their assembly line. The sandwiches are made to order but the wait was minimal. I was impressed on how large the sandwich was when the staff passed it to me. I was asked if I wanted hot sauce and cilantros, which I gladly took them as they are served on the side. The drive home is less than 2 mins from downtown and decided to eat my sandwich right away. Indeed the sandwich (wrap) is quite impressive. A generous portion of grilled meats within chopped romaine lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes drizzled with yogurt sauce (tzatziki?) were stuffed inside a tortilla wrap. On my first bite, it was absolutely delicious. I then added some of the read and green sauce that elevated the experience. Loved the freshness of the green sauce and the heat kick from the red sauce. Service was average. It wasn't exceptional nor poor. There are several small tables inside for those who decide to dine in. Overall, a great first experience where I'd be game to return to DS. Food was tasty and my sandwich didn't break the bank. For the amount of food served, DS's sandwich is a great value in my books.

    Dner Rice Plate

    This place is so close to my job that I'm upset I never tried them sooner. I ordered the rice plate with chicken and yogurt sauce. I got it delivered through uber eats so I can't comment on the service or ambiance. But wow the flavor of the chicken shocked me. It was sooo good. The rice, the salad and sauce along with it was just the perfect combination. It was a hefty portion too that could easily lasts me two meals. I will definitely be back!!

    Second time grabbing lunch from this spot and I have to share how good it is. Located in downtown Honolulu right next to the nightclub Scarlett. There's not too many "healthy options" for lunch, and I'm no dietitian but I think Mediterranean food falls in the healthy-ish category. Today I ordered the Doner Rice Plate w/ chicken. It comes with meat, rice, salad, and sauces. Everything tasted light and refreshing. Service was fast and friendly, we were in and out. They were also preparing a large order of pans of food, so they must be doing catering too.

    Finally had the chance to come down and try Döner Shack! I heard so many good things about this place and I was so excited! ***What I ordered ~ **Mix Rice Doner Plate (Chicken & Lamb) (10/10) ~ I literally could not stop eating this. The chicken and lamb were super tender, the rice had this nice zest to it, and the salad was very refreshing! I highly suggest eating everything with this green sauce (it gave everything a zesty kick to it) and their hot sauce. Overall, I'd TOTALLY come back again. Food came out super fast, staff was really nice, and everything was delicious!

    Chicken Dner Pita Plate
    Joyce L.

    I was really excited to try Doner Shack but for now it's 3 stars. I ordered the chicken plate with pitas for $14.25. Unfortunately, the chicken was pretty dry with some burnt or hard parts that I keep needing to spit them out. The whole plate was drizzled with yogurt sauce and lots of lettuce under the chicken. Maybe I have to try something else next time. There were some tables and chairs but it's not a very big place and I know this place does get busy during peak lunch time.

    So good! My favorite lunch spot. Staff is nice and friendly. It's a new location so they're still settling in and they have a bar table with a few seats if you can't want to eat the amazing food! Located at the Samsung plaza so there is parking but I believe you have to pay. Can't wait to try everything on the menu!

    Doner Pita Plate with mixed meat and the dressing already applied over the meat
    Gerry L.

    Some of us at the office can divorce the politics of a store owner from the goods and services they provide while some cannot. This is why we limit our visits to Doner to those times when those that can't aren't joining us for lunch. Everything I've tried is good but my favorite is the Doner Pita Plate with mixed meat (lamb and beef). It comes with a generous helping of meat, a nice salad, two pieces of pita bread cut into triangles and a container of yogurt dressing. The meat is well seasoned and the salad dressing is tasty. One can use the pita to hold the meat and salad and treat it like slices of pizza or one can copt to treat the pita like pieces of bread. I use them both ways and to sop up the salad dressing. The prices are reasonable, being that it's 2024, and the food is tasty and priced well. It's a "winner" for me.

    Didn't enjoy this very much.

The salad came out first in a bowl, which was a nice touch and allowed us to eat something prior to our meal, the dressing was a tart yogurt, citrus dressing, which was nice and Bright and the vegetables were leafy greens that were fresh.

The eggplant and beef stew was delicious and had large chunks of eggplant along with a few cubes of tender meat.

It wasn't busy at all when we went, just us and one other table even though it was a Saturday night. It honestly felt like a hidden gem. We'd definitely come back!

The shawarma brisket wrap was really good - tender meat with lots of rich flavor. It tasted different from other shawarma I've had before - almost like it had a sort of barbecue flavor? It was really good! The markook lavash is perfectly crispy on the outside and all the sauces and toppings go really well together. The falafel wrap was good in terms of taste, but I wish that the falafel had more of a crunchy crust, and was more fluffy on the inside. It was just a bit dense and dry but tasted good anyway! I also wish the sumac onions had more sumac. As a disclaimer, we didn't realize that we were supposed to call when we were outside the building ready to pick up our food (oops... they even say to do so on the order page! but I just glossed over that by accident). So we got our food a bit later, and maybe the falafel would've been crispier and less dense if we had eaten it right away. I'm guessing the sauces soaked into it and that contributed to it being a bit dense. I'll need to come back to try it again! What to know: Middle Eats is a satellite kitchen, meaning that you don't go to a physical shop to pick up your order. The kitchen is in a building that you can't actually enter - so you place your order online or by phone, and then go to the pick up location (55 Merchant St) to get your order. However, you need to call them to let them know you're there, and only then will they come down with your food. This makes complete sense to me and I even see the instruction on the order website now, but I guess I just missed that detail - so that's on me! There is some space to pull over in front of the building when you pick up your order, and once they know you're there, they come downstairs in just a few minutes. If you can't find nearby street parking, the nearest municipal lot is the Chinatown gateway one. I will definitely come back to try more of their food!

Honestly I am and when I first discovered Pelmeshki which usually has been in the back end of the Village Night Market at Pearlridge Center I had already bought something to eat and with the amount they sell in one order there's no way that I can do it all by myself lol! These are Russian dumplings which looks like tortelloni or even some won tons that are round but are super cute and is filled with beef and pork you can have it pan fried or steamed and though I usually like pan fried I chose for steamed as it felt it would be more light and soft textured. A paired with a choice of sauce it was spicy shoyu for me. Placed my order but be prepared to wait as it's made to order though it did give me time to look around and see if anything else would capture my attention but before my eyes speak for my belly I headed back and was excited to see it was ready. Let me tell you these pillowy beauties was delicious though the dough is a bit on the chewy side as it was thicker similar to like a mandoo but it was delicious and with 20 for an order it's totally shareable and the sauce was on the thicker side and wasn't really spicy but is nice and flavorful to give a bit of kick to the Pelmeshki. The vibe at the night market is very festive and vibrant with lots of seating under the tent and a few cocktail tables for a quick bite making this a great place have some food, fun and freeing enjoyment.
