★★★☆☆ 3.0 Duke Nguyen · Dec 2025

Friendly service right away — staff was welcoming and helpful, which always counts. The place itself is small, maybe around 6 tables, but cozy and casual. Good spot if you’re nearby and want something quick. Food was decent, but I’ll be honest — not amazing, especially considering the high ratings. The meat was a bit dry, and the bread came out cold and not toasted, which really makes a difference for a doner or gyro. That said, flavors were okay, sauces were generous, and portions were solid. I think expectations played a role here — I’ve had some incredible doner in Germany near train stations, so that sets the bar pretty high. Overall, not bad, not great. Good service, cozy space, food is fine — 3 stars for me.

This is an absolute gem of a place, it has a great selection of food with a clear menu to choose from, pricing is excellent and portion sizes are just right. They call your number when you're ready and you can choose the filling of your wrap, sandwich or meal yourself meaning you don't have anything included that you don't want. Pricing was ideal too for the amount of food. Rose, who served us was so polite and friendly and always wearing a smile. She came around and checked people were happy with their meal and tidied up as she was going around. I'd highly recommend coming here for food 🤩 teşekkürler

Once one of my favorite spots. Now a hard pass. I remembered this place being great a couple years back and wanted to relive it. Completely disappointed. The Iskender plate tasted only okay. The chicken doner and wrap were extremely dry with no sauces and looked like they were thrown together without care. They had someone clearly being trained, which is understandable, but that is not an excuse for missing flavor or juiciness. The beef wrap was also very dry. The red lentil soup was watery and bland and tasted of nothing. The fries were absolutely dismal in both cook and taste. The funniest and honestly stupidest part was the dessert. A single piece of baklava for four dollars. I laughed when I opened the box. Nearly a hundred dollars spent for what felt like forty to fifty dollars of

Capital Doner is an excellent Turkish restaurant that truly delivers on quality and authenticity. The shawarma is prepared fresh with well-seasoned meat cooked perfectly on the vertical rotisserie, resulting in rich flavor and great texture. The sandwiches are served in authentic Turkish bread, which is soft, fresh, and makes a big difference in taste. What stands out is the cleanliness and organization of the kitchen, along with the fresh vegetables and toppings that allow you to customize your sandwich exactly how you like it. Everything looks well-maintained and professionally prepared. The Turkish baklava is another highlight. It is fresh, perfectly layered, and balanced with sweetness and pistachio flavor, making it a great finish to the meal. Fast service, generous portions, and c
