"After browsing the menu, I realized nothing was really catching my eye, but I knew I needed to satisfy the emptiness in my stomach. I ultimately opted for the Döner plate. What does the Döner plate include? Pretty much everything but the kitchen sink. My plate featured a mix of chicken and half lamb/half beef served over a bed of sweet potato fries, topped with Tzatziki and chili sauce. It also came with a salad, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, feta cheese, mint, Kalamata olives, falafel balls, hummus, and two lightly fried pita chips. Reading through all those ingredients felt overwhelming, and I worried I wouldn't find anything that would truly satisfy my peculiar hunger.
When the dish arrived, I was struck by the vibrant array of ingredients. Given the abundance, I decided to dive in from the top. The pita chips were light and crispy and paired perfectly with the creamy hummus, while the falafel, although a bit dry, had a nice flavor and also complemented the hummus well. The salad was fresh and crunchy, and the salty olives along with the dill-flavored feta blended nicely with the veggies. As I dug deeper, I found the paper-thin chicken to be well-seasoned, but the lamb and beef were surprisingly salty. Initially, I thought it was just my palate, but my friend, who had ordered the Classic Döner Sandwich with a half-and-half mix of beef and lamb, also found it quite salty.
Eventually, I reached the sweet potato fries, which were light and crispy—definitely the highlight of the plate. This Döner plate was more than enough to share, and I barely made a dent in it. What I did manage to eat was satisfactory enough to quell my unusual craving. However, if there’s something underwhelming about the meat, perhaps I would have preferred something more refined to truly excite my taste buds and elevate my dining experience. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.
Would I return for this dish? I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit, but if I found myself in the area and in a better foodie mood, I might give it another try. Next time, I think I’ll stick to something simpler than the loaded Döner Plate."
