    Mediterranean Doner
    Taylor T.

    Insanely affordable and flavorful lunch option in Lenexa public market. It is a filling sandwich that resembles a gyro but is in fact different. The difference, to me at least, comes in the fact that is holds together much better because the bread isn't pita and instead is thinner and more resembles a wrap (or tortilla). I added the feta for a dollar, I'm not sure it needed it however, it made it so salty and delicious that I think I would add it again. There were two options and I went with the Middle Eastern variety that included a creamy garlic sauce. It indeed was a saucy sandwich? Not sure if it's considered a sandwich or wrap but let's just call it a döner haha. The other version was a Turkish version and included tomatoes which this one didn't...maybe I'll try this one next time. With a price under $12 this was a steal in my book. I loved the soft texture of the lamb/beef mix of meat as well as the pliable slightly chewy wrap, it didn't have any crunch factor but that was okay because it was so easy to eat that I finished the whole thing in less than 10 minutes. I would definitely consider this a contender for one of my favorite lunches I've had in the past month. Highly delicious and addictive.

    Traditional Döner

    I love this place! My first experience was a Yelp Elite Squad treat a while back when they were still upstairs in the Lenexa Public Market. Now KC Döner is on the ground floor right when you walk in the south doors. The food here is great! Today I had a traditional Döner with extra meat and they were kind enough to give me some garlic sauce as well. That sauce is outstanding. Service was fast and efficient, and I was in and out of the place in 15 - 20 minutes. My only complaint was that the Döner was not hot. It was just above lukewarm. Warm enough that I didn't take it back but cool enough that I didn't really enjoy it as much as the last time I was there. I will certainly give them another chance as their food is very traditional, creative and delicious!

    I ordered takeout hoping for authentic Turkish döner, but unfortunately it didn't feel that way. The lavash bread was really good and definitely deserved better quality meat. The döner itself was cold, and overall the experience was pretty standard -- nothing special. Honestly, it was a bit of a disappointment.

    To get it out of the way, ambience is about what you expect for Lenexa Public Market. Pretty quiet when we arrived on Wednesday night. The woman working spoke almost no English so we put in our orders on the iPad. We only waited maybe 5-10 minutes for a food. My dad got the döner plate, my mom got the German style döner, they both got lentil soups, and they'd also picked up dolmas and baklava to split. I got the Mediterranean döner wrap. Wow. Absolutely delicious. I could eat that every day. It was also a perfect size and extremely easy to eat which I appreciate. Delicious savoriness very much like a gyro in flavor but wrapped in a tasty tortilla, if you're familiar with that. My parents both enjoyed their food, though my mom found her German style doner to be a little over, stuffed with vegetables, and it took her a while to get to the meat of the pita. I really like the dolmas. I'm used to the ones that are more common around here that are almost the size of eggrolls, where these were almost cigarette-thin and I thought the mouthfeel because of the shape was actually much preferred. The baklava was not my most favorite. I thought it tasted good, but the addition of the ricotta that tasted very earthy, made it up a little bit funkier than what I expected or prefer. But I can't really knock any of the food that I had tonight. Everything was delicious, even things that weren't my favorite, like the baklava, I can't knock off a point because it's more it wasn't what I expected but that doesn't mean it wasn't delicious. Would happily go back again.

    doner wrap so good
    Chloe G.

    Really delicious and strong flavors. I very much enjoyed my Doner Wrap. It was filling and tasty. Very unique combo of spices that I had not experienced much before this. I also had the pide and potato pie vegetarian pies. I especially liked the potato pie one. Wish I had been able to try the Meat Pie as well but they were sold out by the time we went at 6 pm. Would definitely love to enjoy this meal again and try another popup! Service was good, I was able to pay with Tap to Pay credit card and get a receipt to my email.

    Amazing Food! we got the Doner Wraps and we got the most delicious wraps we have ever had! had to order one more for to-go! I got the semolina cookies for sweet treat and these are super good. The service was amazing, neither of us are too familiar with Turkish foods but the owners explained everything for us and was so friendly! 10/10! definitely coming back and can't wait to try the whole menu

    My little one happily chowing down on the red lentil ball.

    I took my kiddos out to try KC Doner today. We got one of everything! It all was great! The meat way perfectly cooked! I had to go back for more so I could share some with my husband. The owner is very nice and friendly. We also got food from other vendors there but, KC Doner is definitely the winner for us.

It was good but there was a lot of olive oil on it. I really liked the grilled pita it came with. I also tried the chicken schwarma sandwich. It comes with fries but I asked to swap them for the lentil soup. I ended up with both fries and soup due to a mishap. The lentil soup was ok. It was a little different than what I'm used to. It wasn't bad but it wasn't my favorite. I did like the fries so I'm glad they were there. My favorite was the chicken schwarma sandwich. The chicken was super tender and had a slightly cinnamon flavor. It paired great with the garlic sauce. And the pickles were really good. I'm definitely going to return to get that again. I had a bite of the gyro meat and that was really good too. I want to try that one too!

    Twilight zone ah restaurant…read more The summer evening's gentle humidity greeted me as I woke up from a strange dream. I recall a long room. Tables set. A menu hanging by a thread, the crease counting on one hand how many openings it has left. What is that desolate counter doing there? And those Wayfair basket shelves? Sure, I'll get the Greek Platter. A tasty entree no doubt but an unholy matrimony: the saddest pita bread you'll meet. At no fault to Kinzi, cyclospora weighed heavy on me this meal. Just thought you should know. Soon I'm in the hallway. Washing your hands is righteous, right? Where am I? Laboratory light seems to come from nowhere. Dove white dry paint on the floor and the door. And the handle. Get me out of here. As I descend the steps of purgatory, a siren calls: "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" Motion detectors. But where? And what are we protecting? The patrons from themselves? I'm back, but not for long. This entire time I endured the music. The flat screen does no justice to these poor bare bellied women, forced to dance for eternity, only punctuated by YouTube ads. Then, suddenly, there's an incessant beeping. For a few minutes it won't go away. Then, "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" followed by the cutely sinister chimes. Oh, it's the ice box. He rips something out of the bottom and the beeps dissipate. The kind man approaches. "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" What? Oh! The plates, yes, and the check, yes. "Save Ferris," his shirt reads. Is that who we're guarding? As he walks back, "Hi! You are currently being recorded!" *jingle lingle ling* Time to go. The motion detector once again clocks me as I exit. Everyone should dare to dream. For now, I must wake up.

The restaurant appeared to be severely understaffed, our server was also cooking, and it seemed like only one person was running the entire place. Because of that, service and cleanliness suffered a bit, and the tables and menus felt slightly sticky. I'd probably recommend takeout over dining in, but I also got the sense that this was more of a staffing issue than a lack of effort.

    If you're visiting Kansas City, make time for Aladdin Cafe…read more The owner and chef is one of the kindest people you'll meet, and that care comes through in every detail. You feel welcomed the second you walk in, and somehow that warmth makes its way into the food too. I've tried just about every Mediterranean spot in Kansas City, and this one stands out every single time. It tastes the most authentic and the least commercial by far. Everything feels fresh, intentional, and made with care. Nothing tastes rushed or mass produced. There's real love in the food here, and you can taste it. Their dolmas especially take me right back to my grandmother's kitchen. That kind of food memory is hard to put into words, but if you know, you know. Comforting, fresh, flavorful, and made in a way that feels deeply rooted and genuine. With the World Cup approaching and so many people coming through Kansas City, visitors need to know about places like this. These are the local spots worth seeking out. The kind you leave talking about afterward and craving again the next day. And if they have the mint lemonade, order it. The rose lemonade is always incredible too. If you can get both, mix them and thank me later. A true Kansas City gem. You won't regret stopping here.

    I didn't prepare well for this review. I was in this shopping center (on the corner of 151st at…read moreInterstate 69) and happened to see this small place, but after grabbing something to go, I felt a duty to tell everyone how good it is! I ran in and got a sesame falafel bowl. I got rice as my base and added hummus, tahini, Taziki, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, feta, and olives, I think it may be the best falafel I've ever had!!! It's definitely one of the best! The sesame on top (and I believe there was sesame oil involved too) was amazing! There was a bit of heat to the falafel and it made it delicious. Not too hot but a little kick. The flavor was incredible and they were cooked perfectly. Fluffy inside and crispy on the outside! I did manage to take one picture of my bowl! It's a small place but has several tables to sit inside. You order and pick up at the counter. It was very clean and had a nice, cozy, easy going vibe. They don't have a large menu but still quite a few great choices. I want to try some of their other dishes but it's going to be very difficult to not order the sesame falafel. You can also order just 5 sesame falafel. I imagine there will never be a time that I go to Falafel Express and not have sesame falafel even if I get it as an extra! It is going on my special list of yummy places!

We didn't have reservations and were dressed casually. The hostess was friendly and welcoming, and we were seated in what was referred to as the "other dining room," down a dark hallway into a musty, warm, and humid space. Service was prompt and courteous, but the food was very disappointing. We were served a cucumber salad that oddly tasted like peanuts, followed by six completely flavorless meatballs--no seasoning at all, not even salt. The prices might be reasonable if the quality matched expectations, but it didn't. The contrast between the main dining room and the "other room" also felt stark and uncomfortable, as if it were a second-tier seating area. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant based on this experience.
