Doner Sandwich
(Ekmek Arasi Doner)


You can serve doner in a corner of a loaf of Turkish (or French) bread or in pide (pita) with sliced onions, pickles, sliced tomatoes and shredded lettuce.

* The doner meat is normally made by slicing the meat (beef, lamb or chicken) through a rotating spit.

History of Döner:
The writings of Evliya Celebi tells us that it has been made first by Crimean's and prepared horizontally. Probably, the Döner was first cooked in vertical fire by Ottomans.

The final version of the current Doner is based on Iskender Efendi in Bursa in the years of 1800’s. Döner is prepared in different ways in various countries.

It is usually called Shawarma due to the similarity of the word (in Turkish it means "çevirme") in Arab countries. But, Döner’s and Shawarma's ingredients and tastes are not the same.
