The best doner I’ve had in SoCal — juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. As a Turkish person, this is the first and only place I go when I’m craving real Turkish doner. The prices are also very reasonable, and at least you’re getting real meat. There aren’t many places where you can eat this well for the price.
Tried the doner plate here and honestly, it exceeded my expectations. The meat was flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. Portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh. The sauces complemented the dish perfectly without overpowering it. Service was quick and friendly, and the overall vibe of the place was clean and welcoming. Definitely a solid spot if you're craving a good doner in Costa Mesa. I’ll be coming back for sure.
I've been a regular at Lake Forest location and just tried out the new Costa Mesa spot. The interior was super nice-looking and clean. It's relatively new so crowded, comfy chairs, same amazing food. We were fortunate enough to have some yaprak döner that was the FIRST BATCH cut from a brand new döner... vertical unit attached on? like the first layer of doner freshly cooked and sliced. and if you've ever experienced that you know how good it is. All of 4, 5 of us in the group kept saying and agreeing that it genuinely tasted like we were back in Turkey. We also had the chicken döner and again, tasted just like döner you would eat in Turkey. It is so rare to have the "tastes like it should" feeling about iconic food from your childhood/country and now we have 2 döner shops in OC that you can get that from! While waiting for the main döner, we also tried the Paca soup (they also have Lentil soup) and new falafel vegetarian item and the headline for me is always the döner, of course, but the falafel was also excellent. Super great portion size, great service, friendly staff, very nice store hours (open very late some days it looks like) and a taste of Turkey in Costa Mesa, best döner in the U.S. by far.
