We sure are blessed with a huge range of good food in Colombo. Today I checked out this cool place where food is great but the interior can do with some love and attention. but they have got the important thing on point! The food is YUM!
A bunch of boys who love to travel and have good food started this business – speaking to one of the boys, this is what they had to say.
“Out of our foreign travels we always saw eye to eye with the street food culture. Things drastically changed when a few of us had travelled to Berlin where we came across the Doner food that was brought by the Turkish immigrants, a marriage of Mediterranean flavours carefully presented to appease the European palate. Since the Doner
originated in Turkey and the Berlin Doner is made by Turkish immigrants in Berlin we wanted to be the first to bring this Turkish and Berlin mix to Sri Lanka with our very own local twist. Our love for food made us want to seek out a more nutritious and fun concept, bringing ideas from both Turkish and Berlin styles of street food”
The name is inspired by Bestselling Turkish street food in Europe, and they sure have got the flavours on point, they opened doors last September and are still in their soft stage but for someone so new to the scene, their performance is quite impressive. I loved the pricing and how affordable they have kept it, with big pieces of meat in every bite.
The most popular dish on the menu is Doner,
Durum and the Snack Pack, I can understand why, the snack pack is a layer of french fries, topped off with a layer of cheese, topped off with a layer of shaved lamb or chicken and sauces, now who can say no to this!
This is what I picked off the menu.
Doner Classic Chicken
A Doner is a little pocket of pita bread stuffed with juicy chicken, peppers, lettuce and onion topped off with sauces, with the veggies giving it a crunch. You can always take it without the sauce and make it a healthy meal.
Durum Mayo Chicken
Its a large wrap like a pancake stuffed with chicken, lettuce, tomato, pickles and plenty of yum sauce I tried there drinks and I must say its yum!
