İskender Döner Tabağı (Ekmeksiz)
Döner Kebab Plate with Yogurt and Tomato Sauce (without bread)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request 'ekmeksiz' (without bread) or 'pide/ekmek yok' (no pita/bread). About 13g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Turkish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-adapted version of the famous İskender Kebab. This plate features thinly sliced, savory döner kebab meat (typically lamb/beef or chicken) generously topped with a rich, buttery tomato sauce and served alongside a dollop of creamy yogurt. Crucially, the traditional pita bread underneath must be omitted.
Key ingredients
Döner meat (lamb/beef or chicken), tomato paste, butter, plain yogurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, oregano.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request 'ekmeksiz' (without bread) or 'pide/ekmek yok' (no pita/bread). Confirm no sugar is added to the tomato sauce. Be aware of lactose carbs from the yogurt.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in the tomato sauce, lactose carbohydrates from the plain yogurt, potential non-keto fillers in some low-quality döner meat (less common in authentic restaurants).
