How to make it keto
Request 'tabakta' (on a plate) and explicitly 'ekmek yok' (no bread) and 'pilav yok' (no rice). Inquire if any flour or starch is used in the meat mixture (rare for authentic döner but possible).
Watch out for
Marinades for döner, especially chicken döner, may contain sugar. Salad dressing can have hidden sugar. Some restaurants might use minimal flour as a binder in the meat.
