    Yummy flatbread sandwich. Bread is thick and meat is well seasoned. Could use some jalapeños or pepperoncinis tho-maybe I'll bring my own next time. Nice casual option. Ample parking. Sandwiches do take a while to make so order ahead.

    DÖNER SANDWHICH

    The doner sandwich was delicious and you can taste that the ingredients are fresh. I'd come back for dinner to try one of their German beers.

    This place is great! It is the closest thing to the doner wraps we had in Germany. I love the fact there is a restaurant where my meat loving friends can order two different types of meat and I can order my vegan meal. The rice is so flavorful and the veggies are very fresh. The portions are large. The staff is friendly, attention and informative. They have both high tables and booths. It is cozy inside but they also have a great outside patio. We will definitely be frequenting this spot!

    Seasoned fries - combo size

    I stopped by after doing a quick search in the area for a top lunch spot. They were right off the 101 freeway going north, inside a plaza. There was a good size parking lot, but at lunch time it filled up. Inside is nice and clean, very modern cafe/bistro vibes. You order at the counter and the lady brought me my food when it was ready. There is inside seating but not a lot and there is no real place to wait for a to-go order inside. The menu is large and clear and plenty of offerings but it's not overwhelming. The cashier was super friendly and very helpful. It took about 8-12 minutes to get my food. Donor Sanwhich w/ Lamb and Beef - 4 Star - the bread was unique, almostlike a small loaf that was hallowed out so you just have a crisp shell. It was a great vehicle for the mounds of meat and veggie. I opted for no tomatoes and went with the spicy sauce. I definitely would get at least 1 more sauce to balance the meat out. Fries - 5 Star - I addded the fries and drink to make it combo. The size was kind of on the small side for a $7 bump but they were really good. Slightly battered and preseasoned with a great crunch. The garlic sauce is like a garlicky ranch and was also really good on the sandwich. My total was $29 and I definitely could have split with my wife, but it was my birthday so powered through and ate it all.

    Having grown up eating Döner, it's tough to find a place in the US that meets that flavor profile. Twisted meats absolutely nails it. Get the lamb and beef with all of the veggies for the most authentic taste. Sauces are unique, the tzatziki is the closest we found to our hometown locale. The bread is perfection, and the fries are cooked well. The restaurant is efficient, clean, and the food outstanding. Go!

    The DÖNER SANDWHICH

    Well we came back, again! I really cannot stress enough how good the Doner is. The bread is wonderful and fresh, made daily with imported German flour. The shaved lamb on the sandwich is to die for. Load up the veggies and use original sauce. Look at the photo, that's "1" sandwich. Huge, my wife and I split. Also fresh kegs of imported German beer. Come on! What else could you ask for. Get here, yesterday!

    One of the mediterranean places, I've tried here in Thousand Oaks. The meat was very tasty and tender. The flavors were omg. The service was very good and attentive. The restaurant exuded an inviting cleanliness that immediately put me at ease, while the tantalizing aroma wafting through the air ignited my senses and heightened my anticipation. Without a doubt, I am eager to return and indulge in the delightful experience once more.

    Raw Doner being cut
    James C.

    Used to be so good. We brought everyone here. Reminiscent of college food, but better. We are here once a week. We are German speakers and appreciated the food. The bread was amazing! Then we came back. Took 40 minutes to get cold, food. Rice was so hard that it looked like raw yellow lentils. Leftover meat and questionable freshness. When we told the server with red hair, she said it was hot and challenged us by saying it was. Nope. It was cold. Secondly none of the meat was cut from the Doner. Really? 100 bucks for 4 dishes and a beer. Nope. Up charges for every thing. Speaking of beer, it was 1/2" from the top. Seriously? Oh. Don't cut the Döner when it's still raw (see pictures). It's gross. And the pan on top of the machine is all the chopped up meat from the spindle of gristle that you cut. Go anywhere else. This was disappointing. And Ruben, sorry. As much as we appreciated the free Kolsch... and platitudes that this was fresh food you make everyday, this was terrible.

    Chef Fries w/Feta Cheese and Chefs Special Sauce
    Tim A.

    We been to Twisted Meats 4 times now, and each time is just as good as the last. My Go-To is the Chicken Wrap w/Chef Special Sauce. The spicy sauce is "Spicy", so beware. I have to be able to finish the wrap in one sitting. It is packed full of meat and veggies, so will be very full. I highly recommend the Chef Fries w/Feta cheese, so delicious! My son and daughter-In-Law have gotten the sandwich; this thing is "HUGE" and will definitely fill an empty stomach. My wife has gotten the bowl a few times, and she absolutely loves it. It is almost big enough for two meals. You will for-sure fill your belly with great quality food and friendly service. The staff is amazing. Inside, there is seating for about 12-14 people, and an open kitchen concept so you can watch you meal being prepared. I hope you enjoy Twisted Meats as much as we do.

    Döner
    Chauncey G.

    In 2006, my wife and I boarded a plane to Germany, chasing a dream called The World Cup. We didn't have tickets--of course we didn't--but we had friends, beer, and the kind of optimism that makes sense only in your twenties. We found ourselves in Köln's Fanzone: tens of thousands of strangers, flags waving, songs spilling from every direction. A stranger handed me a beer I hadn't ordered. In that moment, I understood what civilization was for. We drank. We cheered. We belonged. At some point, my new companions suggested a "Döner kebab." "A what?" I asked. Moments later, I was holding a miracle wrapped in warm bread: spiced meat, crisp vegetables, creamy sauce, all dancing together in perfect symmetry. I ate. I was changed. The night dissolved into laughter, streetlights, and one too many meters of beer. I've been chasing that taste ever since. Fast forward nearly twenty years. The same German friend--now older, wiser, still capable of mischief--tells me, "You have to try Twisted Meats." So I went. Tucked into an unassuming corner of Newbury Park, Twisted Meats doesn't look like a portal to another life. But step inside and--there it is. The smell. The sizzle. The promise. I ordered the döner. One bite and I was back in Köln. The bread--soft and toasty. The meat--perfectly spiced, shaved into ribbons of glory. The vegetables--fresh, cool, alive. The sauce--divine, with that elusive tang I'd been missing for almost two decades. I closed my eyes. The roar of the crowd came back. The laughter. The songs. The generosity of strangers. If you're looking for authenticity, for flavor that travels across continents and years, for a meal that feels like memory--Twisted Meats is your ticket. Go. Order the döner. And if someone hands you a beer you didn't ask for, drink it. You're in the right place.

    This place is great! Always good! Wraps and other options are big enough to share between a couple. Pricier than fast food but 100x more worth it! My teenagers love it too! Definitely have to try! Staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is close to the freeway, always clean and tidy (even the bathroom).

    $50-55 for two small salads.  I enjoy the meals, but 1 out of three times they give you old food or smaller portions.

    Good food, just they keep screwing you over. I paid twice as much so I can get meat in a separate container. They charged me for extra veggies and then forgot or just didn't give me the extra veggies.

The vibe is industrial and low-lit, like the kind of bar where the walls have stories but won't snitch. Small space, metal-and-concrete aesthetic, but somehow still warm and cozy. Perfect for a date night or a "let me mentally unpack my life over cocktails" hang with my best friend. What keeps me coming back? The bartenders actually listen. I can walk up and give the vaguest description -- "classic but not sweet, strong but not too whiskey-forward, smooth but still gives main character energy" -- and they'll just... create it. They've made me drinks that aren't even on the menu -- Army Navy, Aviation, etc. -- and every single one was spot on. They always manage to find the right drink for me, which is honestly a skill more people should have. The servers are genuinely nice, the liquor selection is solid, and the energy is chill without being pretentious. I've also heard there's a speakeasy hidden in here somewhere, and trust me, one day I'll find it like I'm unlocking a side quest. Definitely one of my favorite bars in Thousand Oaks -- industrial vibes, great people, and bartenders who match drinks to my personality better than most men can.

I called and talked to one of their managers, Andrea, and she said she would try and get it for us and what time would we be in. When we arrived that night she had it up on one of the screens with the sound and it was awesome being able to sit there watching the festival eating and drinking our favorite foods.

She was great and we also appreciate Connor who helped us at the bar.
