Turkish Restaurants near Saint Paul, MN

“I've been getting takeout for my family here for many years and the food is always a hit. Service ranges from gregarious to down-to-business depending on which family member is staffing the counter. Getting an order fulfilled around meal times can be slow but they are up front about that when they're running behind, so it's my choice. Overall I love having this option and am happy to support a local business.“

“Unfortunately, these are not the Donors we’re looking for. I ordered the OG German Donor, one chicken, one beef. Couldn’t tell the difference between them. Awesome fries and they’ve got Pepsi products.

Good sized, tasty, and fresh food? Yes to all, but not close enough to a German Donor to scratch that itch. More like a gyro wearing a costume.

I tried the GDK franchise while traveling last year and that was pretty close to what you get in Germany. Naughty Donor has good food, but if your sole reason for trying is the legit German donor… this ain’t it. Womp womp“

“Moving reviews over from Yelp. This was originally posted on 10/23/16:

This little hole-in-the-wall place really caught me by surprise and I have Yelp to thank for finding them.

I dined there but they seem to do a healthy carry-out business as well. I arrived just before their lunch rush and scored a parking spot on the street right in front of the place. There was just one other table full when I arrived but the place was packed by the time I left.

I asked the guy taking orders at the counter and doubling as a waiter about their most popular dishes. He pointed out the Number 30 combo. It comes with beef & lamb doner, chicken kebab, two kofte kebabs, grilled green peppers, onions and tomatoes. They add a pita bread on the side and give you the option between a salad, fries or rice. I opted for the salad and it came with a few big chunks of feta cheese - score!

Everything on the plate was delicious but the biggest stand-out of the bunch was the gyros meat that was described as beef & lamb doner. It was carved right off the spit like you find in the places where they understand the stuff as opposed to merely feeling like they should have it on the menu. It was shaved into long, thin ribbons and appropriately crispy on one side while moist on the other. It represented EXACTLY what I'm hoping for when I order gyros anywhere outside of the little Greek neighborhood places in Chicago. Yum!

I debated star count for a while and was going to give them 4-stars. Why not the full 5 stars? Mainly because I have a hard time giving up the whole magilla when there really isn't a service component to a dining experience. That said, the food was every bit a 5-star experience and very reasonably priced as well...a combination that tips the scale.“

“Haven't had Mediterranean food in a while, and Google reviews were good, so tried this place on a whim.
Diner atmosphere. But very clean, and smelled great the minute you walked in.
Dolmas are to die for! Delicious!
We got the kebob combo feast for 2 - it was way more food than we could eat, but was absolutely fantastic.
Beef, chicken, lamb. Excellent.
Highly recommend!“
