hey man, Döner is not actually a kebab it is something like a fast food in Turkish cuisine. Kebab is different kind of meal such as adana kebab and şiş kebab, these are the most popular ones for kebab lovers :)
Kebab ( Shawarma) is of origin from Palestine, and is exploited by the Ottomans and in particular by the Turks and the Arab countries of the Middle East
Actually....in Arabia we call it shawirma and it is is from veal, chicken and-/or lamb. The sandwiches are significantly smaller, portion size, i never knew of something called Dönner till i moved to Europe, it is known as Shawirma. Infact, if you ask any Arab who has never seen Europe or Turkey, they will have no idea what Dönner is, but Shawirma yes.
@@Mab-nq5hu I believe it is the other way around, if you read what i wrote, all the Arab countries and nations have no idea what Dönner is. I actually invited family and friends from various countries (Egypt, Lebanon, and UAE for example) and the first thing they said when they saw a Dönner Shop is how much bigger is the Shawirma in Europe than in their home country. Could you kindly post proof, that the word Shawirma (not Shawarma) is passed from Turkish to Arabic from an authentic book and NOT use an internet website (unreliable source) as evidence please?
A fact for you : Arabic food "Shavarma" and Greek food "Gyro" both versions of Doner Kebap. Döner means "rotates" and Gyro means the same in Greek. And the word Shawarma is not an Arabic word. It's a Turkish word but it's pronounced with Arabic accent. It's actually "Çevirme" in Turkish. But Arabs can't say that. They don't have the "ch" sound. So they say shawarma. And it means "rotating (one)" . This kind of food was invented in Turkey, by the Turks . And their neighbors (Arabs, Greeks etc.) made their own versions.
Wrong. The Arabs invented Shawarma, the Turkish made their own things. The Greeks invented the bread, sauces, tables, fire and the Greek Gyro or Souvla as it's known were invented in ancient Greece thousands of years ago.
@@matrixcuberoadto6007 The Mediterranean is where everything that is tasty comes from. If you go anywhere above Rome food tastes awful unless it's still in Italy. So let's agree it's somewhere from the Arab parts of the Mediterranean.
i went to turkey once in my life around 10 years ago. the kebabs blew my mind. one shop i went to had 4 different kebabs going at once. amazing people amazing weather and still to this day the best food.

I've tried German food with a friend and could say I'm definitely more used to Mediterranean food. Most people would probably like kebab their first time trying it.
I love Turkish food. I grew up in the district of London where loads of Turks settle and so my family has regularly eaten Turkish food since I was a small child. I would say it is my favourite cuisine. Absolutely delicious!
@@HedgehogZoneIt's not German food. Even the name of the dish is Turkish! Why do you show everything about the Turks as your own? This is our culture. Döner was made in Bursa for the first time. Turks who immigrated to Europe carried this dish with us. It has become a hobby for Europeans to portray Turkish culture and food as their own culture, and this is ridiculous. This is the culture of the Turks.
Turks thought the doner to entire world. Arabs called it Shawarma, Greeks called it Gyros, Mexicans called it el pastor. Originally it's called Doner, means spinning. Delicious 😋 😋 😋
@Tekukuno I just did a wrong spelling but it doesn't change the fact. Do your own research. Because Arabs learned this from Turkish, and Mexicans learned this from Arabs. That's why in Mexico some Arabic names are used too like Omar ;)
@@Tekukuno Mexicans learn it from the Arabic refugees of Ottoman Empire and even bread of it, which symbol of Mexican food today, learned from refugees.
There is something so intensely satisfying watching chaps like these make doner kebabs, stacking up the layers of meat and fat, especially considering the size and weight of the things.
Yeah it is. I'm Turkish and I actually saw people make a doner before here in Sydney when I was a kid. It is interesting because it is just meat and mince and hand moulded by these guys who experts at their trade.
My friend has had hundreds of Kebabs over the years. He recently went to Turkey where he 100% said they were the best kebabs ever and if they were sold in the UK like this the seller would be a very rich person.
This is one of the best in Turkey. They have three branches in Ankara and they serve one of the best examples of Ankara Döner. They used to serve in a tiny restaurant for many years and now becoming a giant without compromising the quality
Yes, my father knew the owner and when we talked with the owner of the place, he made it very clear that he wouldn't open franchises unless they could make it the same way everywhere and after visiting the every place they opened; I can say that they really care about their work. Same taste after all these years.
In France the chef hat is the sign of a great chef In Turkey it's the moustache. You can't earn the moustache without being a master of the culinary craft.
Immigrants from late ottoman empire (mostly arabic people of the empire) brought this style of vertical grilled meat to Mexico. Look it up amigo :) Grilled meat connects people :D Greetings to mexico

Turkish Food is hands down the best Mediterranean cuisine out there. The variations of Kebabs with the right amount of assorted local grilled veggies (pepper/tomato/ onion etc) are perfectly in harmony. I could eat this everyday all day!
Yup, be it Romans or Ottomans being the hotbed of mixed ancient civilizations gave birth to a few of the most impeccable cuisines all around the world. I'm proud to say there is not a single country around this sea that hasn't excellent cuisine, it's truly the food lover's paradise.
@@ashokathegreat4534just because you eat cheap döner in your country doesn’t mean it is a cheap dish. On the contrary, if done properly, it takes hours to prepare lol. Not mention döner is just a small (but known) part of Turkish cuisine. You think all people eat in Turkey all day long is döner ?
If I was Turkish, this is what I would love to do. I would have never studied medicine. I would have followed my grandfather’s footsteps into culinary art.
As a Turkish guy who tried Döner in a lot of different places I can easily say that this is the original and the best version of Döner. Thank god I work 2km away from this shop lol
I know this restaurant and the owners very well. I have eaten there many times and it is very delicious. Really very clean and kind-hearted people. If you go to Ankara, I would definitely recommend you to go.
Upon doing more research it seems that turkey is where it originated, then spread to the Middle East and turned into shawarma. Haven’t figured out how the gyro fits into this puzzle but will post an update when I find out. What a mystery! If anyone knows any food historians (is that a thing?) send them my way!
Döner as we know it in the vertical stacking way was indeed invented in turkey. But it is strongly believed that stacking seasoned meat and then grilling it was invented by the Ottoman's. The Ottoman Empire included among other things Turkey, Greece and parts of the arabic world. That is the most reasonable explanation as there is no clear evidence of any cookbooks of who claimed to made it first.
@@onurgoral7584 That is a good point plus Turkish cuisine is a mix of Balkan/Eastern European, asian, middle eastern etc plus every region has its own types of food.
Perhaps controversial but a personal opinion of mine is: Gyros and many others are the result of our common past with Greeks, we lived together for centuries as fellows our past predates both Ottomans and Romans. Many Greeks are Hellenised Anatolians and most of the Turks are Turkified Anatolians themselves. For the most part we're basically the same people under different cultural identities.
I am a TurkishAmerican living in California for the past 25 years. I grew up eating döner kebap and it's one of my favorites. I happened to come to Turkey and lived here for a year. During my stay I ate and ate and ate... going back to US in 3days with 20lbs of extra body weight! 😂 I have been to this specific location, Peçenek in Ankara about 10 times. ❤ Their döner is not the best but definitely above average.
@@Amirhesamyan Gaziantep is the food mecca of Turkey in general. Especially good for deserts and kebabs, not for fish or veggie dishes. Döner can be found everywhere and there are good ones in every city. So it changes depending on where you are.

One of the best reasons to live in a large, immigrant destination city, is the food. I was born and raised in Toronto, and there are large groups of immigrants from around the world here, and Turkish people are no exception. So obviously I've been lucky enough to try some absolutely amazing doner. Although this might upset some people, I prefer shawarma 🙂
When I went to Istanbul just before the pandemic I couldn't spot anyone obese. Everyone looked healthy and happy and its a reflection of the amazing tasty and healthy food they eat on a daily basis.
this is my go-to video to watch whilst I eat my doner kebab at home after a big night out sesh with the boys! thanks for the great content, I will now fall asleep.
I'm watching this and I'm like "damn, I really want some Al Pastor tacos" lmao. Thank you middle east, for bringing this great cooking technique to Mexico!
this part of the video even shows a döner shop in berlin, as seen by the orange trashcan with the printed on butler outfit, the renting scooter and the constructionsite-barriers in the background. Even the sidewalk with its big tiles in the center and the small cobblestone on the sides is typically berlin. This Part was definetly filmed in germany.
We used to have a restaurant that served it near us. Unfortunately it has since closed. They had wonderful food. If you left hungry it was your own fault.
Kebab is one of my favorite foods when I am living in Dublin, matching my asian sromach and tasted so good. Everytime I struggled what to have just grab a kebab though so crowded the restaurant is.
the way they serve it rightz after the start of the video only bread and meat is the simple, classic, basic, traditional way of eating it in turkey i think. In Germany we usually add salad, tomato, onions and red cabbage with it alongside one or two or three sauces, depending on your liking. You can get it on a plate as well theres more meat, some fries and the same sides and sauces (no bread). And yes, take the spicy sauce. And try the Ayran, especially if youre not used to heat.
i think they count the overall waste product too because i believe they mentioned they fire a new doner every day so what they can't sell probably gets clearanced at the end of the day or just thrown out/fed to the animals.
@Remus Cirlan maybe once you're allowed to burn the Torah and stop burning the Koran? Or is it only ok to be bigots/racists against non jew/white people?
It's like the assembly line quickness of fast food but with quality authentic cuisine. Quality and volume these countries who make Doners have figured it all out.
This is not your average kebab shop doner, it is "fine doner" adding sauce is not even an option, it is considered for inferior products. I am not sure if this kind of restaurant would be successful outside Turkey, since in the most places doner is expected to be cheap, this kind of doner is relatively expensive.
And it's worth it. Also, there is no sauce, just some pepper powder and salad inside of bread (sadly, while we have some good places with real quality döner here, not many places that also have great fresh lavaş bread, sadly...
We have rice pooding in Romania too but döner is not that popular here,shaorma (shawarma) is king and we like to put all kinds of crazy toppings,salads,french fries and all kinds of sauces this is the Romanian style!
@@ardasemsettinoglu4737 We don't use sauces because it is cheap,It's just that we have this bombastic style,all this crazyness of tastes is meant to enrich the flavour of the meat and not to mask anything at all.
@@ardasemsettinoglu4737 That being said shaorma is already a dish that we naturalised,we use pork meat for it too and it tastes amazing. In the end we are the most Christian country there is (99,9% Christian) so if you want to have success here you'd better start adding pork to your menu because pork doesn't have that gamey taste that sheep,lamb and goat meat have!
@@vladodobleja748 That is proving my idea. Pork meat is not tasty as lamb-beef mixture, they dont have tail fat they will dry when it cooked and they are cheap thats why you are using souce.Trying to balancing best lamb-beef mixture with diffrent part of animal, making marinate perfectly, cook it with charcoal or wood, using tail fat on top of it. This is make artisan doner thats why every artisan doner shops in Turkey have unique taste of doner and we are trying diffrent shops for explore diffrent taste.(For example that shop meh not top of my list)Sometimes I am just travinig 30 km-40km for eating best doner. Souce is belongs to French cuisine and generally using for covering or trimming the strong taste.And we all know that swarma souces are cheap souces and not enrich the flavour I prefer juicy meat to somekind of mayonnaisy meat I know bacause ate it. In Turkish cuisine We do not use souce so much because we believe you should taste that bold , strong , fresh , high quality ingridients which is meat in doner .Next time when you come to Turkey be my guest I will guide you for best doner.There is also Iskender kebap which is not doner can be eating with butter and tomato paste if you consider that as a souce and will enrich the flavour withouth froze the meat juice.

So obviously I've been lucky enough to try some absolutely amazing doner. Although this might upset some people, I prefer shawarma 🙂
Who would be upset abt what u eat lmao, theres just that ppl claiming food origins yadda yadda
When I went to Istanbul just before the pandemic I couldn't spot anyone obese. Everyone looked healthy and happy and its a reflection of the amazing tasty and healthy food they eat on a daily basis.
Bro lmao, turkey is the most obese country in Europe, what are you talking about?
@@FelixSunnyy I was there myself son and compared to where I'm from Istanbul has way healthier people and healthier food choices
we have a lot of obese people actually
@@umutbarantiryaki8970 not as much as the west. I spent a few days walking around. I rarely saw extremely obese.
30% of Turks are overweight and 25% obese.
Looks amazing. Great video
Wow looks delicious 🤤
this is my go-to video to watch whilst I eat my doner kebab at home after a big night out sesh with the boys! thanks for the great content, I will now fall asleep.
Turkish food is soo damn good!
This is a great educational docu series... Great job.
they call them donairs where I live and they are one of my go to meals ❤
That's cray-cray
That's just because Canadians miss spelt it when they first heard the word.
@@jamespopcorn11 😂 thats funny
We call it döner...
this autoplayed for me after the super mario bros movie trailer and I legit thought I was watching a team of marios make doner kebab for a minute
Just ate today, great food.
Thank you, so great 😀
I'm watching this and I'm like "damn, I really want some Al Pastor tacos" lmao. Thank you middle east, for bringing this great cooking technique to Mexico!
5:21 "The Döner Kebap is not Turkeys national dish, but it's among the countries most popular foods"
*shows video from Berlin*
5:25 This is the German interpretation of the Döner. Not the traditional one
It's not German interpretation.döner is also consumed with salad and we consume it as a fast food. There's a million variation of döner in turkiye
this part of the video even shows a döner shop in berlin, as seen by the orange trashcan with the printed on butler outfit, the renting scooter and the constructionsite-barriers in the background. Even the sidewalk with its big tiles in the center and the small cobblestone on the sides is typically berlin. This Part was definetly filmed in germany.
I tried it during my 2019 visit all over Turkey. Also had similar 🌯 in Egypt & Petra Jordan 😋
Kebabs delicious and the rice pudding wonderful.
Very Interesting! I really liked when they showed the Doner!
The smell of cooking that meat must be AMAZING 🤤
Pray for Turkiye and Syira 🤲🤲🤲
fascinating
this is the best of the best... wow nice video
May Allah help all those suffering in Turkey at the moment, Ameen 😢🙏
Pray for Turkey from east Ukraine 🙏
Love this series!
We used to have a restaurant that served it near us. Unfortunately it has since closed. They had wonderful food. If you left hungry it was your own fault.
That was awesome informative fascinating 😊 yum great
Moustache is the most important part of the process. If your döner chef have a moustache like them you can rely on him lol
Stay Strong our Turkish brothers, blessings from Israel 🇮🇱
thank u for everything brother, I hope your government get the land of Israel, which is your right. 🇮🇱❤🇹🇷
Praying for your lost ones 🇹🇷❤ 🇮🇱
Palestina ❤
Thank you. I hope our countries will be friends ones again after Erdogan.
Now I know where and how all my devious kebabs are made. Love the process.
Pray for Turkey 🥺😭
Kebab is one of my favorite foods when I am living in Dublin, matching my asian sromach and tasted so good. Everytime I struggled what to have just grab a kebab though so crowded the restaurant is.
Are the moustaches part of the uniform?
Somewhat
In Kazakhstan there are a lot of kebab restaurants and stands. It's crazy but I will never say no to a delicious doner.
This new Super Mario Bros movie looks weird.
the way they serve it rightz after the start of the video only bread and meat is the simple, classic, basic, traditional way of eating it in turkey i think. In Germany we usually add salad, tomato, onions and red cabbage with it alongside one or two or three sauces, depending on your liking. You can get it on a plate as well theres more meat, some fries and the same sides and sauces (no bread). And yes, take the spicy sauce. And try the Ayran, especially if youre not used to heat.
in germany you need the ingredients to cover because the meat is like 99% crap. minced meat where you dont know whats inside.
1,5 tonnes of meat for 1500 customers....the average order size is a full kilo?!
i think they count the overall waste product too because i believe they mentioned they fire a new doner every day so what they can't sell probably gets clearanced at the end of the day or just thrown out/fed to the animals.
Fat will melt and weight will dropped when cooking
@@cimbomumyarim1905 lets assume each meal is 500g of meat. which is alot, do you still suggest the other 500g was fat that melted away?
@@corvo_corax 1500 customers is only sitting customers,there are probably 1500 customers who have takeaway so its ~200 grams per portion
I'd eat a full kilo of these kebabs tbh
That was a great moving kitchen, Clean and ment it kitchen too.
Aaaaa... yes Turkey! Greetings from Sweden. 😂
and greetings to you)
@@Peyp59 I'll let you know if/when we get into NATO!
@@remus1478 OK, i am waiting!
@Remus Cirlan maybe once you're allowed to burn the Torah and stop burning the Koran? Or is it only ok to be bigots/racists against non jew/white people?
@@bigshorty4855 👍🏻
It all looks so delicious!😋
It's like the assembly line quickness of fast food but with quality authentic cuisine. Quality and volume these countries who make Doners have figured it all out.
0:20 1500kg of meat for 1500 costumers , each customer eats 1 kilo of meat ?...
As a Turk I can confirm this.
I know I would lol
İt lose weight when cooked. But still sounds too much for someone to eat.
Thanks I'm hungry now 😋
This is not your average kebab shop doner, it is "fine doner" adding sauce is not even an option, it is considered for inferior products. I am not sure if this kind of restaurant would be successful outside Turkey, since in the most places doner is expected to be cheap, this kind of doner is relatively expensive.
And it's worth it. Also, there is no sauce, just some pepper powder and salad inside of bread (sadly, while we have some good places with real quality döner here, not many places that also have great fresh lavaş bread, sadly...
This place has been added to my Bucket List. :)
Germany, if you are watching, this is what real doner looks like.
Germans believe that Döner found in Germany....
@@XY-uc1twgermans enjoying their last popultion
So this is how Cenk Uygur gets ready in the morning. The more you know.
We have rice pooding in Romania too but döner is not that popular here,shaorma (shawarma) is king and we like to put all kinds of crazy toppings,salads,french fries and all kinds of sauces this is the Romanian style!
If there is a souces inside the doner it means it is cheap , poor quality meat and probably grounded. It is like puting ketchup on really bad pizza.
@@ardasemsettinoglu4737 We don't use sauces because it is cheap,It's just that we have this bombastic style,all this crazyness of tastes is meant to enrich the flavour of the meat and not to mask anything at all.
@@ardasemsettinoglu4737 That being said shaorma is already a dish that we naturalised,we use pork meat for it too and it tastes amazing. In the end we are the most Christian country there is (99,9% Christian) so if you want to have success here you'd better start adding pork to your menu because pork doesn't have that gamey taste that sheep,lamb and goat meat have!
@@vladodobleja748 That is proving my idea. Pork meat is not tasty as lamb-beef mixture, they dont have tail fat they will dry when it cooked and they are cheap thats why you are using souce.Trying to balancing best lamb-beef mixture with diffrent part of animal, making marinate perfectly, cook it with charcoal or wood, using tail fat on top of it. This is make artisan doner thats why every artisan doner shops in Turkey have unique taste of doner and we are trying diffrent shops for explore diffrent taste.(For example that shop meh not top of my list)Sometimes I am just travinig 30 km-40km for eating best doner. Souce is belongs to French cuisine and generally using for covering or trimming the strong taste.And we all know that swarma souces are cheap souces and not enrich the flavour I prefer juicy meat to somekind of mayonnaisy meat I know bacause ate it. In Turkish cuisine We do not use souce so much because we believe you should taste that bold , strong , fresh , high quality ingridients which is meat in doner .Next time when you come to Turkey be my guest I will guide you for best doner.There is also Iskender kebap which is not doner can be eating with butter and tomato paste if you consider that as a souce and will enrich the flavour withouth froze the meat juice.
@@ardasemsettinoglu4737 I will follow your advice,so more beef and less sheep goat and lamb so it doesn't have that pungent aroma,that gamey taste!
I really really want to try this!
Okay there , you got something wrong. Donair "Döner" is a Turkish national dish , what do you mean it isn't. 5:15
Looks so good! I wish I could grow a mustache 😔
the scale and quality of this kebab is just so much, i need to eat a kebab in order to take it in...
1.5 tons of meat to feed 1500 customers... That's a kilogram per customer 😅 that doesn't sound right
Maybe some of the customers are families.
why do you use pictures of berlin, germany in your video?
notice how they all have the same mustaches lmao
Peçenek is too oily for me. There are many good doner kebab maker in Ankara. But due too high infilation i forgot the taste so i prefer chicken one 😂
