As a semi-middle eastern person who grew up with access to real Turkish cuisine, seeing German/European style döner makes cry. Not only they dare to put lettuce/cabbage in it at all, it’s like 60% of the content. It took me years to find proper döner in Poland, but now I finally know 2 places.
I have this but with Simit. Done Erasmus in Istanbul (a lifetime ago, before Erdogan), the Simit from the street vendors and small bakeries … Ooof. Haven’t found any that can even remotely compare since 😿
