When people discuss hidden gems in SLC this is the first place I think about and recommend to peopl. Whilst it may look unassuming on the outside the food is absolutely amazing. Delicious with authentic Mediterranean flair. It sometimes can be a wait for the food, but oh boy is it worth it! Definitely a place every SLC foodie should try. read more

This place definitely needs some more love. I went there on a whim one time to celebrate a birthday after a recommendation from a friend. I love the flavor combination of the sandwiches. It seems like kind of a blend of Greek, Turkish, and Brazilian. The sandwiches have a perfect blend of crunchiness and creaminess. My personal favorite is the beef bowl. Plus the cute couple that runs the place is just adorable. They are definitely working hard and could use a lot of support. read more

I got the mixed diner kebab plate and it was really good! The chicken and beef/lamb complimented well together. It was well cooked and not dry at all. It came with mixed grilled veggies and salad with sauce on the side. I was not a big fan of the white sauce. I actually paid for extra sauce because I'm a sauce type of person, but it was okay. To be honest, one sauce is fine just for a little taste. It's not like the gyro sauce. A lot of food packed together. I recommend! read more

Sofia’s Doner Kebab Express - Mixed Doner Kebab Full-Size Meal(mixed) - Turkish Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

I guess the first thing to note here is the "beef" is actually a combination of cow and sheep meats. I was surprised not to see lamb as an option and was promptly informed it was just masquerading itself under what most of us would assume was pure moo-moo. Glad I asked and also glad the owner offered a sample because it is SCRUMPTIOUS. The chicken was good in its own right but doesn't hold a candle to the "beef". The kebab as a unit was also quite good. Almost as good as the kind the German Turks serve you up in Berlin and head and shoulders above the kebab imposters you get in Vietnam. The red lentil soup was the pick of the day and it was perfectly spiced. I forgot how much I love red lentils. Haven't made them in a while. The icing on the cake was the service. Even though this is a fast food kinda joint, I dined in and the owner insisted I pay after I eat so I only pay for the things I loved. My only regret is waiting nearly 7 months since I moved down the street to try this place. read more

Sofia’s Doner Kebab Express - They've really jazzed up their mixed plate with an assortment of high-end chargrilled vegetables. Only $10 and enough for 2 meals - Turkish Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

I thought I'd try someplace new that I drive by every day. When I walked in, this place was empty, except for one other customer. I wasn't greated with a welcome or made to feel like they wanted my business. On the wall there is a very small menu selection, not much to choose from, and there are no healthy options. When I ordered my kebab, I was expecting shish kebabs, but got slices of meat on top of a ton of greasy fries, Which I couldn't eat. When I walked up to the register to pay, there was no dialogue other than saying the price of the kebab. I had to go next door, and get something to eat as this item was not good, and definitely not filling. read more

This place was great! Lovely couple running the joint. The food was fast, delicious, and well priced. I'm not traditionally a huge fan of doner kebabs, I always think they're a bit bland, but not this place! The meat was fresh, perfectly cooked, and flavorful. Loved the crisp toast of the bread, the fresh veggies, and all the yummy sauce. It was perfect! Definitely a go to! read more

Food is always amazing! The owners are very nice people and very authentic. I get lunch here weekly because I live the food and it is a great value for what you get. You can get a full authentic Mediterranean meal for the same price as a burger combo meal at a fast food restaurant. read more

We went here on a Friday night for our Letter For Eating the Alphabet. We literally walked in minutes before closing, but they were so kind and accommodating. I had the chicken wrap and my husband had the chicken plate. The wrap was huge, Over a foot long. Food was so flavorful but not spicy- so perfect! And the seasoning on the fries was yum! . It's an order at the counter place, but the food doesn't taste like an order at the counter place. The decor is nothing fancy and doesn't seem to fit the style of food, though authentic music is playing, but don't let that fool you. Definitely want to return. read more

Best doner kebab in Utah. I'm originally from Germany and haven't had anything close to the real deal until I found this gem. Can't recommend enough. read more

So good and fresh. The bread. The meat. The veggies. The sauce. I highly recommend this place to any one looking to change things up for lunch or dinner. Reminded me of my time in Europe eating at the Turkish markets. 5 stars read more

The beef and lamb mix is usually the go to but the chicken is good too. The face that it is more of an Azerbaijani-style reminds me of the doners I used to eat in Ukraine. The mixed meat plate is so good. Their rice is great but their fries are as good if not better. They broke the mold on the fries. read more

I think I went in on a bad day. Mediocre food served up with a side of horrendous customer service!! I called in my order 20 mins before arriving and they mixed everything up... they staring making the order when I arrived (wasting a good 20 additional mins). When I asked the server about the mixup she shouted at me and told me how I'm confused... NOTHING was done to correct the situation. I left with the bland food and a bad taste in my mouth from being harassed. As other reviews have pointed out service here is hit or miss... Hate to leave a bad review for a small mom and pop but never is this kind of service ok. Hope management sees this review and makes improvements so that it a better experience for other. read more

Great authentic food, coming from a German where doners are big. You get a good amount for how much you pay.

I've gone here a few times, and IT IS GOOOOOD! We lived in Germany for a few years, and they had several Doner Kebab places from the Turkish who came to German. This place takes us back. The beef is amazing, and the owner let us try the chicken, it's really good too! Get it on the focaccia bread- it's toasted just right, and the flavors of the meat, sauces, and veggies all wrapped up in the delicious bread is something you'll dream about. The portions are really big, and you won't think you can eat it all, but you'll want to because it's so good! I don't know why this place isn't always busy- because it's one of the best out there! Support your local restaurant owners! read more

Sofia’s Doner Kebab Express - Beef Doner sandwich - Turkish Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

A fantastic restaurant run by a lovely Azerbaijani couple. It has the flavor of a hole in the wall place and the appearance and cleanliness of a sophisticated modern fast sit-down restaurant. The menu was simple - chicken and beef, sandwich or plate, plus a handful of sides and specials. I had the chicken sandwich, which came on a middle Eastern flatbread, and a slice of baklava. The sandwich was impressively large without being too heavy or too big. The meats are cooked and carved from spits in plain customer view. The chicken was flavorful and the vegetables were fresh. It was a fantastic meal for $6. If never had baklava before, but it was sweet and dense. I paid $8.61 for the meal, and it was well worth it. The one drawback was the speed of service. The couple was the only people working, and they take their time in preparing and service. They've been open for 6 months, so hopefully that will improve with time and reputation. I would have taken off half a star if that were an option, but since it's not, I'm happy with 5 stars. read more

Sofia’s Doner Kebab Express - Chicken sandwich, with a side of tzatziki sauce. - Turkish Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

Only if I can give a 0 star. We all decided to try our Doner because its excellent reviews and many of them were from Elites. However we all experienced was careless employees, long wait, and dry burnt mediocre food. It was a slow day. There was only 2 full tables and no one was ordering food at the counter. Sweet, it should be quick! Nope, we waited next to counter to order food but no one helped us. 3 employees just walked back and forth and minding their own business. Now there are 5 people waiting to order food. Still not ordering our food. Finally we spoke up and ask if we can order now. Yay, we can order our food now. During the whole process, it seemed like there was some communication problem. We asked for rice but they gave us fries. One employee asked, what kind meat do we want. We replied, one chicken & one beef. Just when he started to cut chicken again for our second order, we immediately stopped and reminded him our order. He was not happy at all after that. As his revenge, he cut off all the burnt part of meat. Where was our ordering paper? Can't they just read our orders from the ordering paper instead of pass the word the around? Our orders definitely were definitely lost in the process of passing the words. The whole process took about 45 minutes. Finally we got our food. The beef was burnt, the chicken was dry, and everything else tasted mediocre. Since we were starving, we ate everything but the meat. In the end, we were still hungry and unsatisfied. We walked over to New Thai Cafe to fulfill our empty stomach. Now we know Doner was not worth a try. read more

Sofia’s Doner Kebab Express - 80% burnt meat - Turkish Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

This place is such a gem! We have driven pst here a few times but have not stopped. We decided to give it a try and I'm so happy we did! The place is really clean and the owners are very sweet. I love coming to a local establishment and seeing the owners take pride in their business. They were so kind and made our wraps very fast. I got the chicken wrap and also the rice. Holy cow that wrap was delicious and was HUGE! I highly recommend trying the rice as well since it was soooo good! Overall the price you pay for the value that you get is so great! Do yourself and your tastebuds a favor and go get you some! Support your local businesses! read more

Definitely one of my Favorite Doner Kebab Place in Utah. The food was delicious, perfect portion size. I love the vibe. Very friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend it. read more

Delicious Turkish doner kebabs! So excited we have one in West Jordan. Very simple menu yet the food here is more than simple. Its really good. The owner let me sample the chicken and beef. I couldnt make up my mind because each had its own unique flavor. I got the beef on pita but will definitely get the chicken next time. We need to support these types of establishments. Family ran and operated. They are very nice owners. read more

This is not only authentic but they give you plenty of food for the price and the quality is astounding. It is some of the best I have had any place in the world. And I've had it quite a few places. The full doner kebab platter with mixed chicken and beef is a great choice. read more

I ate here 5 days straight last week. I highly recommend the full combo plate with rice and half chicken half beef to get the full experience. You can make your own mini wrap with everything they give you. The white sauce is for salad. The red sauce is used for meat dip, though I don't feel like it's needed. The green sauce is an alternative for the salad. If you're looking to make a wrap use the veggies, white sauce and choice of meat. Delicious... I love this place and got to talk to the couple more when it wasn't busy. They're genuine and they're passionate about it. Every time I ordered, the food was plated the same way, I appreciate how they put them together before serving. I don't mind it but for any clean freaks, I do feel like they could tend to the cleanliness more but they're a small staff so no points taken from me. read more

Great stop. Friendly owner. Had the Chicken sandwich lunch special. It comes with fries or rice and a fountain soda. Food is delicious. Definitely coming back. read more

I must say that I was truly not impressed with the food here. First of all the fries were not cooked all the way and that took away big time from the meal. Lamb and chicken proteins were plentiful. The spices were on point. The salad was bland, lol. The owners were very friendly. But we were all disappointed in our platters. The place was empty with one person ahead of us and it took nearly 20 plus minutes to get our food. I give this place two stars, one for the amount of protein we got and one for the friendly owners. read more

Tucked away off of 7800 S and 2700 W, you wouldn't even see it if you didn't know it was there. It's a little inconvenient to get in and out of, but it's worth a few extra seconds or a U turn. read more

Doner is one of the best street foods in Europe and eating a good doner kebab takes me back to walking the streets in Germany. This is a really new business and you can tell that they are still figuring things out. The staff is really nice though and happy to talk to you about the menu. The food is quite good, but be warned the wait time is suuuuper long. We tried to come back a second time for lunch, stood in line (2 people ahead of us) for ten minutes and then they ran out of meat and started cooking more, but it was going to be another ten minute wait, so we ended up having to leave without food because we were late. I have tried the chicken doner and the beef doner. The beef had a really good flavor at first, but it was extremely salty after a few bites. I think I ended up prefering the chicken in the end. The pita bread they use was fresh and soft and you have the chose of a lot of fresh veggies to put on your doner. I would like to come back in a few weeks when they have things running a little more smoothly, but the food is good! read more

The first time i went there i saw meat was almost over and i got mine. Second time they were out of chicken. Going out of chicken on friday afternoon at 12:10 is not acceptable. i saw atleast 10 people walk out along with me. Taste is good but not great. But they need to be around since there are no Mediterranean restaurants nearby. read more

This place has two great things going for it: cleanliness (high up on my list of importance - also noted in Jiro Dreams of Sushi :) ), and a super nice staff that is eager to make sure your meal is great. I tried two version of the Doner Kebab chicken sandwich: on pita and in a wrap. I definitely preferred the wrap as the pita was dry and overpowered the rest of the sandwhich. The wrap was a much better balance. The combo of chicken, thick yogurt, lettuce, tomato and sauce is a flavorful combo. On my next visit I'd like to try the full-size meal which comes unconstructed. Thank you, Doner Kebab Express, for your great service! read more

Sofia’s Doner Kebab Express - Pita was way to dry and thick - overpowers the sandwich - Turkish Near Me - West Jordan, Utah

I was SOOOO excited as I am fairly fussy about my döner kebab having lived off the real thing various times in Europe...especially Germany. Yes...the bread is the real thing! (yeah...the wrap isn't really done in Europe so it kills me when I see the Americanized version touted as authentic here). The bread here...the thicker type of pita (for lack of a better description) is spot on. The actual döner was good, although a bit dry. Granted, the meat (beef) was at the very end of the roll and someone has to eat it. Not much flavor left. Also, it could have used more sauce. The staff is super friendly and the prices are okay. We will go back because it's the best in Utah. read more

My husband and I love this place and come here often! The food is fresh, delicious and healthy. The price is reasonable.

Great vegetarian options. I'm glad I stopped by. Even got the soup. I recommend giving it shot.

A coworker recommended this place to me, but it is over an hour from where we live. We were in the area doing some shopping and decided to give it a try. The place was completely empty of patrons. We did see a couple people come in during our visit to pick up to-go orders. We had the full-size meal with beef/lamb and the sandwich with beef/lamb. The food came out quick, was hot, and very tasty. So glad we went a little out of our way to try this place. read more

Takeout only right now. The food is delicious. The chicken doner plates are my go to! I don't know what it is about the rice, but it's so good! Not too heavily seasoned to complement the meat and sauce, but just flavorful enough to make me always want more! Side note, it seems to always be just the two owners working, so it can be a bit of a wait during lunch. read more

I was concerned about sticking to KETO when I saw the menu because it's pretty limited. However they were super accommodating! I got the # 3 with mixed meat, grilled vegetables over a salad. My husband and grandsons had other items on the menu and everyone enjoyed their food. Once again I wish there was a closer location. read more

This place is sooo good. My favorite is the chicken wrap. And my husband gets the beef plate every time. Both meat type are very good. The food is always fresh. And the owners are so nice and friendly. Dinner time on weeknights can get busy, if you don't want to wait, go a bit early. It's so worth it. Highly recommend. read more

I feel like the "Express" in "Doner Kebab Express" is a major embellishment. No offense to the owners, I'm sure they're great people, but I ordered my food around 5:35 and I still haven't gotten my food at 6:20. There were only 3 orders made before mine too (2 of which haven't gotten their food yet either). It could be because they're understaffed, it could be because they need to improve their process, but they need to get their act together a bit. The only reason I haven't given them a 1 Star is because I've yet to try my food. read more

Best Döner in Utah! The food is so worth our 40 minute drive. We can't put into words how much we love this place. We both have spent time and Turkey, 10+ years. This is as authentic as it gets in the US. The meat is prepared perfectly, and all the ingredients are fresh. Not frozen like other gyro places. This is a family restaurant, "Mom and pop" run it, and they are very friendly and good at what they do. Gerçek döner! Afiyet olsun read more

My fiancé told me about how amazing this place is and he was RIGHT! It is owned by the nicest couple from Azerbaijan, so they put a different spin on their sandwiches than other doner kebab places I have been to. I honestly preferred this place to other doner places, even the popular chain, "Spitz", because this place puts more ingredients on their sandwiches and gives the option of bread or a thin pita wrap. Very very delicious! I ordered rice for my side and they put paprika on it with a grilled tomato! Loved it! read more
