If you've read my other reviews, I'm a Turkish Pizza fan. I travel a lot and seek out Lahmacun…read morewhenever possible.
Let's just say I love "I Love Doner"! The restaurant is clean and well lit inside. I was there on a Thursday night in January 2018. When I walked in I was greeted by a pleasant man behind the counter. I asked for a "Turkische Pizza mit salat und kalbfleish". After a short realization that I didn't speak very good German the gent asked if I wanted it for takeaway or to stay. Not in a hurry, I decided to have a seat. The seating is utilitarian but comfortable.
I was able to watch the preparation of my meal. He took out a prepared Lahmachun (flat bread with red/meat sauce already applied) and folded it and put it in the flat sandwich iron to heat it up and cranked up the heat behind the beef skewer. It took about 7 mins all told from order to receipt of my foil wrapped pizza roll. I usually get it with all the 'fixins': red and white cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and spicy sauce.
The roll was nicely wrapped and very warm to the touch. The flat bread had that perfect chewy crunch with a slight char. Best flat bread I'd had in a while actually. The tangy and slightly sweet flavors from the condiments were perfectly proportionate to the savory flavor of the beef (kalbfleish). I rated this visit 5 stars because over all, it was really good. However, if Yelp would let me, a more accurate rating would be 4.75. The beef was not as charry as I would have liked. To me the best cut doner meat has a tender and juicy underside and a seared crunchy crust. As the beef was roasting I could see the chicken stick next to it getting what looked to be a perfect rotisserie crust. It would have been the perfect sample if the beef had the same treatment.
Still, over all a fantastic experience for what it is. If I could, I'd rate it 4 3/4 stars. I will totally come here again if given the chance. Nice job "I love doner"!!!
