Doner sandwich on bread. So good!!
Sammy G.

I've been coming here everyday for the past 4 months now. Haven't have a bad experience at all. Food is so good that its addicting.

Lentil soup, tasty!!
LeeLee C.

Piertaharsh from Azerbaijan and his partner is offering Mediterranean food in this food truck at the back of gas station Andoil. They also have a couple tents setup nearby for people to enjoy the food fresh and hot. We saw a picture of fish burger on the food truck but didn't see it on the menu, the staff told us that they change their menu weekly. That's a hook, someday we have to try the fish burger. This week they are making lentil soup fresh daily. OMG, I've never had a lentil soup that doesn't look green or mushy but tastes so warm and delicious! It tastes so creamy and rich with or without the lemon squeeze. We ordered all 3 beef choices, the donna bread, the donna wrap as well as the donna plate (with rice). Each one comes with lots of sliced beef and a rich creamy white mayo like sauce. They tasted fresh, sumptuous, rich and full of flavors. The staff are super friendly and hospitable. They showed us the wrap, the Ayran while we were not sure what they were. And while we were waiting for our food, the evening wind picked up and it was getting cold. So I hid in the tent. Then out of nowhere, they scooped up 2 bowl size lentil soup and offered to us with complement while we waited for our food. After that, they offered baklava and hot tea while we continued the wait. It took about 15 minutes wait to get our food, which wasn't too bad, but the hospitality was heartwarming. The prices are very reasonable and I can see that they could probably speed up the food preparation process, but they are learning to manage customer satisfaction, so overall I am very happy with the visit. PS: They charge a 3% credit card fee.

Chicken Sandwhich Beef Wrap

Halal, Beef wrap was tasty! I liked the addition of fries inside. Chicken sandwich though felt very dry and crunchy. This is a food truck, so there's limited seating outside

Wow! It had been such a long time since I tasted a doner this delicious. It reminded me of the exact taste of the doner back home in Azerbaijan.

REALLY REALLY GOOD FOOD PLACE!!! Definetly recommending this place, good food, good price, and good service. Food is so good that it brings the mood of my country back then. I am really glad there is a place where i can eat my own country food. Definetly try it there

Great food, fresh ingredients, and amazing flavor! The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! Great ambiance with a clean, cozy, and relaxing vibe.

Amazing lule kebab! Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. Fresh ingredients, authentic taste, and excellent quality. Highly recommended!

Here's a polished review that keeps your energy but reads naturally: Twist & Taste is an absolute hidden gem. I got hooked after my first bite. The location is perfect--super close to the freeway--and the portions you get for the price are honestly unbelievable. My go-to is the Chicken Döner Wrap. Do yourself a favor: add extra mayo and thank me later. The chicken is juicy, packed with flavor, and loaded into the wrap. Fresh veggies, soft bread, and everything just comes together perfectly. And don't skip the Ayran--it's the perfect refreshing drink to go with it. That combo is a steal for what you pay. If you're driving by and craving a real döner, Twist & Taste is the spot. Easily one of my favorite places now. 10/10, I'll definitely be back.

This is by far the best spot to go for some authentic and delicious donar! I've ordered and come here multiple times and the taste is always so consistent! I always end up ordering more than one. The staff is super friendly as well. They have a outdoor seating area where you can sit and relax and enjoy your food! I would definitely recommend!

Akim R.

Thank you so much! Everything was absolutely delicious. The meat was incredibly tender, flavorful, and there was plenty of it. I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

It's like a cross between a western style bbq joint and a middle eastern twist with its meats and food. Turns out, this place is mainly an Afghan restaurant! It's half eatery half a butcher shop for people to come and purchase fresh meats for some home cooking. In fact, I watched a lot of people coming in and ordering meats to go. I ordered their chili lamb kabob which was tender and juicy. It had lots of flavor from the spices but enough to where it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered it on top of a pillow of rice which was fluffy and buttery textured. It was delicious. There are sauce bottles to pair with the meats which is my favorite part. I really liked their white creamy yogurt sauce mixed with their red house chili sauce. It gave my lamb meat so much flavor and some heat. I loved my order and will definitely order two next time. I also want to try their steaks. They take their time grilling their meats so orders can take a short while. It's worth it for sure. No complaints here but I do wish they played some light music in the background for some ambiance. Things can be real quiet in here so it can be awkward dining in. Other than that, I really like this place and will be back for more.

They no longer serve their popular lamb shank, bummer…read more We started with the Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower. The cauliflower had a nice crunch, and the batter was well-seasoned and flavorful. Grilled Octopus was excellent as always, my favorite dishes here. Lamb Osso Bucco was served with orzo rice, peas, morels. Lamb was tender and well-seasoned. Tamarind Glazed Salmon served with kale and red quinoa. The salmon itself was good, but I don't think the quinoa was a good match with the dish. The flatbread was the most disliked item we had. It was a bit bland and too doughy. We enjoyed the Peyrassol Rosé (France 2025), which was not only nice to see but also nice to drink. Love the smooth texture and taste. Vanilla Crème Brûlée was enjoyable, the shortbread cookie was somewhat bland. Chocolate Date Cake was rich and quite sweet. Even we shared it among 3-4 people, we still couldn't finish it.

Service was lacking professionalism and timeliness Came to celebrate a birthday dinner and we were immediately disappointed by the service team - couldn't find the reservation (made a month in advance) - sat us without menus - when they did bring menus, they only had 2 for a party of 6... Food was overall good but the server oversold everything. The taste and balance was decent but pricing was 100% unjustified. Review of our table's order - excluding the obvious lack of value and weird plating choices: - mezze dips: skip. rip off. - cauliflower: maybe the best dish of the meal - octopus: sauce was unnecessary and portion size was terrible - caesar salad: not good - lamb shank: tender but the sides were trash - branzino: parts tasted not fully cooked. - lamb chops: DRY. Hammered the protein and drenched in oil...? Do not get. - chicken: large portion and maybe the best bang for buck when feeding large parties. it was ok. No wonder they closed shortly after. I get the high rent given Santana Row pricing but do a little better when hiring service staff.
