Absolutely 5 stars! Capital Doner in Arlington serves some of the best food I’ve had in the area — especially the chicken shawarma. It was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor in every bite. The spices were balanced just right, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. The portion size was generous, and the toppings and sauces complemented the shawarma perfectly without overpowering it. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and take pride in their preparation. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and efficient. My order was prepared quickly, and the service was excellent from start to finish. If you’re in Arlington and craving amazing shawarma, this is the place to go.

We absolutely loved their doner! Both the chicken and their beef are good. We loved how you can customize the sauce and toppings. The falafel was also very good. Clean restaurant and friendly service. Their dessert and tea was also yummy!

TURKISH STYLE!! Fast, friendly, and surprisingly good shwarma and donner! Most of all NOT AT AL GREASY!!!! 🤯 It was juicy and tender delicious slices, the bread the right amount of chew, and the serving size was as big as a footlong subway, with fries and drink!! But fresher! They were even kind enough to offer complimentary Turkish Tea and Baklava!! Oh the Baklava!! It tasted homemade, butteriest I've tried, tender yet crispy and flaky and the syrup just right, not too sweet, and the treat somehow tasted like fine dessert pasta!! A first! Plenty of retro classic seating and very clean place Located next to Eclairon! Perfect way to get dinner and a treat!

Iskender Kebab was very tasty with the butter treatment 😋 It came freshly cut, elegantly placed and, deliciously sauced with a copper plate. A classic. Great stuff too. I recommend experiencing the tastes.

EXCELLENT! Couldn’t recommend this any more! We got beef wraps and their homemade Ayran, and were so impressed we came back again the next day. Great quality! The baklava was very fresh and good as well.
