A keto-friendly interpretation of the classic 'İskender' dish, featuring sliced döner meat, a rich tomato sauce, and creamy yogurt, but without the traditional pita bread base.

Key ingredients

Vertically roasted lamb/beef döner meat, tomato paste, butter, spices, garlic, plain full-fat yogurt, green chili (optional).

If you order it anyway

Crucially, no pita bread (pide) underneath the döner meat. Request the döner meat to be served on a plate with the tomato sauce and yogurt. Ask if the tomato sauce can be made without added sugar or with minimal sugar.

Watch out for

The traditional pita bread base is the main carb risk. Tomato sauces in restaurants often contain added sugar. Yogurt also contains natural lactose carbs.
