Upon arriving, I waited at the front for a few minutes before anybody even acknowledged me, once we sat down we waited another 10 minutes to even get a menu. They don't have enough menus, so we had to wait for the table next to us to finish with the menu before the waiter handed us their menus. Once we chose what we wanted, we waited another 5-10 minutes before we had to flag a waiter to take our order. We also didn't get any water/drinks for about half an hour after sitting down. The restaurant smells like sweat...and they do NOT give free water at all. The room is TOO loud, there's loud music, loud bar sounds and just overall loud general noises. Also the hostess wearing black yelled at multiple waiters a few times in front of guests so that was weird... Anyways, on to the food..... Portions are TOO small, ridiculously overpriced. The food didn't come out at the same time, one of six of us nearly finished her food before the rest of us got anything. The table besides us, had 5, and only 2 received their food and finished it completely before the other 3 received their food. We ordered 2 of the same plate, and only one came. Unfortunately for me I was the odd one out waiting another 14 minutes for my plate. The only positive, the food was actually good. It wasn't amazing, but it was good, except one of my kafta's was raw. They also offered us tea in the end to compensate for the awful service, just for them to never give it. Overall, congrats to this restaurant! This takes the cake as the WORST restaurant I've ever been to. Dreadful service and ambiance. Please come here if you want to lose your mind.

Looking at the photos of Istanbul, it has to be the same place, with the fabulous deli case. We had the hummus, tarama (pink caviar dip) and tzatziki with plentiful pita bread. All three were outstanding! We also had the chicken kebob and lamb kebob. Which were fine, but it was the dips that blew me away. I wish I'd had time to try other items in that deli case--it would be perfect to carry back to an Airbnb with a fridge. To top it off the waitress, manager, owner was so friendly and working non-stop. I found it by walking past it on the street while exploring the shops and restaurants on Rue St. Jacques. I looked up, saw the bright new sign and looked through the window. When I saw the deli case, I was sold.

It is a small place that serves take-out but also have a beautiful seating area that brings you back to places in Italy. Whomever designed this place, hats off to you!

It wasn't too heavy and gave us energy for a full day of walking. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting the area. Sit down, order some wine, eat some food and enjoy the scenery!

They have just about any Lebanese dish you could think of, except for sfiha (Lebanese flatbread with various toppings). After being seated I ordered a mixed skewer plate and kibbeh. Mixed Skewer Plate (18 euros) - This came with kafta kabob (spiced ground beef), boneless chicken kabob, lamb kabob, shirazi salad, eggplant, hummus, and some pita bread. Each of the grilled kabobs was so flavorful and juicy. My favorite was the juicy and flavorful kafta kabob. The shirazi salad was fresh while the hummus and eggplant dips were just middle of the road. The pita bread served here is the store bought variety. Kibbeh ($9) - I always enjoy these fried football shaped croquettes, and the ones here didn't disappoint in terms of taste and consistency. The outer shell is made of bulgur wheat while the inside consists of a spiced minced meat. Overall the food tasted great, however the size of everything here is about 30% less than what I would have expected. The kabobs are so much smaller as are the kibbeh compared to portions in the U.S.. Bottled water is about 6 euros, so be sure to ask for tap water instead. This place is on the pricier side, however it's a great place to get one's Lebanese fix. All the food served here is halal.

I figured it was time to write a review for my namesake restaurant, the one in the little blurb…read moreunder my name. It'll be a problematic review, since I haven't been here since around November of 2004. But let's try it and see how it goes. At the time, "Mac Doner" was an unusually dominating presence, compared to most of the other Turkish-style takeaway places in the city. For one thing, the 16th is a rich, heavily white area of Paris, with very little in the way of fast food. This was the only spot for a kebab or an adana kebab sandwich in that part of the neighborhood, and probably one of the few in the neighborhood altogether. It also had a striking blue neon sign, contrasting against the otherwise staid quality of this semi-residential street. (Eventually they added a new, more traditional exterior, as I saw when I walked by in 2007--unfortunately I didn't stop in and try it again.) And then there's the name itself, mildly punning, nearly copyright-infringing. It rolls off the tongue nicely. As for the food, I would have to admit that I'm adding an extra star for nostalgia. It was, it's true, one of the earliest kebabs I'd ever eaten, a food which is now a mild obsession. The white sauce was good, tart, fresh, with large bits of mint in it; that bread, the peculiarly French type of round pita, was soft and a little toasted; the fries were decent, just a bit soggy, as they always seem to be when you open the long clamshell package. But the meat never seemed stellar. There were too many fatty bits, too much turkey and not quite enough veal. This definitely wasn't a "kebab extra veau." Still, a kebab in the 16th, in that forest of dull luxury, is going to have the benefit of uniqueness, of a lack of competition. The surprise of its being there at all adds something to the flavor. I'd go back, I'd even go out of my way to have it again. I do hope that when they renovated they added some seating, since I remember there being absolutely nothing seven years ago. But either way, there is no arguing with Mac Doner. Either figuratively or literally, since--I'm told--the employees are still on the haughty side.

Also they willingly give extra sauce if requested.
