What is Doner Kebab (Bread)?

Doner kebab in bread is a Turkish street-food sandwich made with thinly sliced meat cooked on a rotating vertical spit, tucked into a roll or flatbread. It is often filled with salad vegetables and, depending on the shop, sauces or other toppings.

The meat’s browned edges contrast with its tender centre and the soft bread, while fresh vegetables add crunch. In Turkey it is a popular quick lunch or casual evening meal, often served with ayran or pickles; elsewhere, it is commonly found at kebab shops as a filling takeaway. It provides protein, with much of its carbohydrate coming from the bread. Ask for extra salad and less sauce if you’d like a lighter sandwich.
