What it is
Thinly sliced döner kebab meat topped with hot tomato sauce and a dollop of fresh yogurt. Traditionally served over pieces of pita bread, but modified to omit the bread.
Key ingredients
Lamb/beef döner meat, tomato paste, butter, yogurt, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes.
If you order it anyway
Request the döner meat, tomato sauce, and yogurt in a bowl, explicitly omitting the pita bread (pide yok). Confirm the tomato sauce is not overly sweetened.
Watch out for
Tomato sauce often contains added sugar. The yogurt adds some natural lactose carbs. The pita bread is the main carb risk; ensure its complete omission. Some restaurants might use thickeners in the sauce.
