    Turkish Döner Wrap
    Rebecca P.

    This was a fast and enjoyable bite! It was super quick service, and my partner mentioned that the person working was great at explaining the ingredients/was very passionate. I told him to surprise me, and I'm not much of a pickle person myselfthe wrap had great ingredients, it just wasn't for me. I'd definitely stop back and try something else, after looking at the menu more there's a lot to pick from!

    Yum!!! The Naughty Doner is so good! The Doner is the real star but the French fries with the house made ketchup is also super delicious! The serving sizes are VERY generous and the service is top notch! You order on one of two touch screens but the staff was very willing to answer any questions we had! Plenty of seating inside. The window seats are fun for people watching too! There is only off street parking available and the area does tend to get busy but we were able to find a close spot easily.

    I was in the neighborhood so looked up a place, which I have not tried before (thank you Yelp!) and decided to give the naughty doner a try. It is street parking only so it can get dicey to get a spot without walking a block. Anyways, walked in, was greeted and asked whether, I had been here before and need any help while ordering. The place was clean and has a small seating area also (see pic). I ended up getting a diner box with fries. The portion size was generous, like very generous! The food tasted ok. It just did not have that extra oomph for me. The fries were amazing but the meat could have been seasoned better (imo). I paid extra to get the 2 sauces listed which did make the food pop. I am planning on returning to try their sandwiches!

    This was so good!!! The service is kinda non-existent cause you just order on the screen and then they set the order by the door dash order pick up area but the food made up for the lack of service (also I came late so I'm sure they were ready to clean up and get outta there. I appreciated all the difference was to order the food. It has a sandwich which looks really good for a Shawarma wrap or a bowl. The pool was amazing. I enjoyed the showroom as well with the euro meat. I love the sauces they put on in the different toppings like purple cabbage, pickles, and hummus. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area.

    Chicken doner box
    Gita B.

    Very good chicken doner! Quick process to order and pick up. Pretty quiet on a cold weeknight. Hot tip: get the doner box with fries and salad. Better deal with what seems like almost all the same flavors as the bowl! Enjoyed the baklava as well. Go check them out!! Very good food.

    German style Doner Sandwich
    Elly P.

    It's semi-self service. ordered at the counter and they delivered the food. Also they bussed the table, I think! because we didn't. Ambiance is too fancy for an actual German Style Donner Kabob. I have been to many of those, and this one is a glamorize version of that type of restaurant. actually looks like something that someone that has never been to one think of when they heard about "German Style Donner Kabob" I think it's more appropriate to call it Fusion Fast Food loosely inspired by German style Donner kabob. The food is actually tasty but again it's missing all the good & authentic elements. Such as greasy goodness, messy packaging, messy PILES of foods and the authenticity. Turns out this place is same owner as one before that one "spicy feta" but decided to re-brand. It's good and tasty food, I think you should just own it. Call it Minnesota version of Middle eastern food fusion or something. It is just misleading. Halal does not make it authentic by the way! I enjoy the food but feel so deceived that I may think twice of going back just out of principal. The chicken wings are good though, again taste more like Korean Fried Chicken wings...maybe this restaurant is just confused about their concept. ps: another suggestions - 1. Maybe have menu also available either on the wall or printed so we don't have to wait to order. The only way to order is on a touch screen which has the only menu in the store, so most of the time customers will spend time browsing menu instead of actually ordering. While the next in line waits patiently or impatiently. 2. When a customer ask what's the different between 2 items in menu, it is helpful to actually explains to them in person since you work there, instead of instructing us to look for description on the touch tone menu/ordering system.

    Kebab Bowl

    Street parking to a cozy little spot in St Paul. I liked the location and the vibe of just eating then walking around afterwards. You order though tablets, which I've come to enjoy because you get to see the food and all of the options. The service was still good though. They brought the food out to our table, and were were cordial. We split the OG German/Turkish Doner Wrap with Chicken and Beef w/fries, the German Bowl with Chicken and Beef, and Turkish Baklava. The sauces we had were, tzatziki, spicy green mint, and mango amba. There was a good amount of flavor in each, but the sauce really kicked it up a notch. The tzatziki hit home and worked well with all of the dishes.

    This restaurant is one of those where you order at a kiosk, which is fine. Once you have placed your order you sit at a table to wait for your order, beverages are self serve. We ordered the OG German wrap and a donar sandwich. The table we sat at was a bit sticky, and service was slow, we waited about 1/2 hour for our order to come. From what we saw a lot of their orders were takeout/DoorDash. The bread was pretty flavorless, but the meat was good, very flavorful. The servings were plentiful, a lot of food for the money (our total was about $45), and very filling. The salad was good, but had a bit too much dressing on the side. Maybe order it with dressing on the side if that is an option. Fries we ok to good. Our server was nice and informative. Parking is street parking, and it is handicap accessible. There appeared to be about three people working. We were there from about 5:00 to 6:00 on a Saturday, and it was pretty busy.

    Order screens and meat on spits.

    Eaten here twice now. Had the beef the first time (meat was a little dry and chewy) and had chicken the second time (perfection!). This sandwich is the closest version to the kind of doners I've eaten in Berlin, Germany. Several other local restaurants have sandwiches they misleadingly call "doners" but they are not it. Until I visit Germany again, this is the only place I will go for German-style doner sandwiches.

    One of my favorite sandwich places in all of the TC! Whenever we are St. Paul and thinking about…read morelunch, this place is on the shortlist. Parking is easy, as there is a free public lot about 50 feet away, and street parking is also available. The workers are always friendly, and often will give you cheese samples (yum). I have never had a bad sandwich here. Some favorites are the chicken salad, the prosciutto-fig-ricotta, and the sweet chorizo. Today, I ordered the Turkey club and the Sandwich of the Week, the La Tur, which had a cow, goat and sheep milk cheese with blueberry honey jam, greens and bacon. It was good, but don't get this sandwich unless you like cheeses that REALLY have that sheep flavor! There are a few small tables for 2 tucked inside by the register, and a couple of small tables outside in nice weather, but this is really more of a grab'n go place. We took these on the plane with us the next day, as we were traveling. Pro Tip: You can earn France 44 rewards at this location, just tell them you are a member when you get to the register!

    I loveee cheese so naturally I had to come but what actually blew me away was their tomato soup…read morethat came with my melt! It was the perfect consistency, seasoned really well, and can still taste the freshness of the tomatoes. For the melt, I got the truffle that came with double cream brie, gruyere, mushrooms, honey and black truffle. Everything was melted to perfection and the truffle was delicious without being overwhelming. The bread had a really good crunch to give some texture with the melty gooey cheese. Despite having so much cheese, it wasn't a super heavy meal. More of a take out place. There's a couple tables outside to eat but it was also really windy and hot the day I went so I ate pretty quickly.

    Trying to avoid a chain restaurant, and craving a deli experience, this was such a wonderful visit…read morein Saint Paul. Thanks to the staff at Patina for the recommendation! Old school all the way. There's a restaurant in the back, and a full-scale deli counter in the front. It is such a good stop. They have their own private parking lot too. Wood paneling, and a bunch of local reviews all over the walls. Clean, normal sound. Simple, with excellent customer service, and a huge menu that will have something that you like. Packed the midweek afternoon we visited, and we did not wait for a table. Loved my bowl of Matzo Soup, superb broth and the Matzo was delicious. Enjoyed my BLT on whole wheat and the homemade potato salad was amazing! Had a cherry cobbler for dessert that was incredible. Restaurant has been open for over 70 years, and I met the owner/manager, Cecil, afterward, and he just oozes customer service being a priority. It's a must-visit place.

The line for baked goods was also busy but moved quick and wow - I regret not getting any of the baked goods. They looked phenomenal. I had the Leonard Da Vinci which was outstanding. The gardiniera was the perfect level of spice and the sandwich was jam packed with salami and turkey. The Cole slaw was also delicious. The vibe inside is very Eastern European deli authentic which is so fun. They had tons of to go items for sale as well and a huge grab and go beverage selection. The seating area was spacious and packed on a warm spring day.

I absolutely love the duck! The fact they had duck!! Customer service was top notch can't forget about my new buddy in the glasses. This is my MF place!! Top spot on all of the street. I'm looking forward to trying more on my next visit. Basically cleared out the hot dogs the other day and I was like the first person in the shop lol sorry but not sorry. I didn't try them before but they were damn good and shouldn't of been that damn delicious and they have that snap too. I got a chuck roast too for later in the month or maybe I'll try to do easter? Is it beef or duck that they have on Easter I wonder.. either this place is the dream spot of the MEATS (PAUSE! LOL that's me being goofy). Young and older people should fully support this place. I recently moved here but this is my JAMMY JAM!! I wonder if they had meat jam or pickled onions? Honestly somebody to build a bakery and cheese shop nearby so you just get my meat, cheese and bread all on one perfect block. Might have to find a job or buy a house near this place. If they haven't been here for 100yrs.. I hope you make it to that and another 100yrs. Btw who's the MF who made this pie?! This is the best apple pie ever had. I come from San Diego.. we're supposedly doing an apple pie considered like the best but someone was lying. This apple is delicious!!

St Paul Meat Shop markets themselves as St Paul's only whole animal butcher shop. One of our favorite items is the pastrami. Their pastrami is amazing! Made and smoked in house. It is sliced thin and makes a great sandwich. They also have turkey which I believe is cooked sous vide. Our last visit we picked up some skirt steak and their juicy lucy burgers. As we were checking out, there was one condiment that we forgot and it didn't appear that they had that. The very nice gentleman was able to locate some for us and helped us out. Quality and service has always been top notch.
