(la version française en bas)…read more I went for lunch and got the kebab sandwich/pocket for €5. Inside the warm, freshly baked bread was shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, onions, kebab, and a white garlicky sauce. The meat tasted of very good quality, and the bread was perfectly chewy. For the price, I couldn't have asked for a better kebab meal. Uskudar a du pain frais et de la viande de haute qualité. Le sandwich au kebab a été un mélange de la viande onctueuse et chaude, des légumes frais, de la sauce blanche, et du pain qui sortait du four. De plus, la personnel était chaleureuse et accueillante. Elle semblait comme une famille qui faisait un resto familial, mais ben je ne suis pas sûre. En tout cas, je vous recommande leur kebab si jamais vous ête dans la Guillotière !

This is a five star and a two star restaurant all at once…read more On North African food - total five stars all the way. Don't miss this establishment if you are anywhere near Charpennes. They also do globalized fast food like burgers, chicken strips and tacos. That is where the two stars fits in. Absolutely positively avoid the fast food globalized menu. But if you are looking for doner kebabs, This is the place you TOTALLY want to go to. Don't even think about going anywhere else. * * * Villeurbanne has a very large North African community. There are fine Moroccan, Algerian and Lebanese restaurants all up and down the street, along with utterly superb halal butchers - and a few very fine European-style French restaurants with excellent North African owner-chefs. Villeurbanne has good eating. There are many fast food doner kebab places. However, if you look at the doner kebab places, Most have anywhere from zero customers to two or three customers. Topkapi is always packed. It has a ton of customers day and night - any time that the restaurant is open. Nearly all the customers are North Africans. People who know their North African food clearly give Topkapi a big thumbs up. * * * Kebabs or "gyros" as Americans call it are much better in France generically. In France, all the doner kebab places serve kebabs that are 100 percent veal. In America we use beef. PLUS French veal is absolutely positively superlative. American veal is awful. Doner Kebab places all make their own kebabs in house. So the quality of the meat itself is a huge part of the story. * * * So ANY French doner kebab place will have a fundamentally better kebab than will the same establishment in the United States. Now we add what Topkapi does that puts their sandwiches over the top. a) They put an amazing char on their veal kebabs. b) The kebabs are served with generous quantities of caramelized onions. The effect of a) plus b) is to give you a dish that tastes remarkably like very very good bacon. No Moslem establishment would serve bacon because pork is absolutely forbidden. But the light taste of veal rather than beef pushes their kebabs towards the taste of the "other white meat". The charring and the spicing gives you the savory quality of American bacon. In fact, the taste is much much better than American bacon because it is not greasy and fatty the way American bacon is. You also don't get salt masquerading as flavor. So the veal kebab gives you a "better" bacon. Much much much better. * * * Now add to this very thick very fine pita bread. Not the typing paper thin pita breads we get in the United States. Now char that bread the same way you charred the veal. * * * You have die and go to heaven stuff. * * * Topkapi serves thirteen sauce options with the kebabs. Avoid Western options (such as a nearly tasteless gruyere sauce.) DO go with North African options. They have a harissa that is absolutely positively outstanding. * * * Perfect kebabs. Perfect vegetables. Perfect pita. Perfect sauce. * * * If I lived in Villeurbanne, I would eat here once a week. Even as it is, I try to sneak in a meal from Topkapi whenever I can. A good doner kebab is a great thing.
