It might seem a bit crowded when you first enter, but there's always a place to sit. A hospitable Eastern gentleman greets you, helps you find a seat, and after you tell him what you want, a sample is immediately served. It's served to your table within 5-6 minutes at most. Along with the menu, portions come with a combination of tomatoes, pickles, and onions. Before you've even finished half your meal, they've given you almost 3-4/10 of the plate as a complimentary topping. Although the meat is slightly fatty, it's very clear that it's not minced meat döner; you can taste the authentic döner from the very first bite. I recommend ordering the rice as a portion. The ayran (yogurt drink) wasn't quite what I expected, but the restaurant serves tea as soon as you finish your meal, and surprisingly, the tea is also good. I'd like to especially thank the staff there; their attentiveness was excellent. If I remember correctly, they're open until 3 AM.
