MEHMET - Döner Kebab & Wine — Restaurant in Paris

We visited this place today specifically because of its high ratings, but we were shocked by the lack of hygiene among the staff. The tall guy taking orders was touching everything—cleaning tables, rolling a cigarette, handling money—and then placed bread on a plate with his bare hands before serving it to an outdoor table.

One of the kitchen staff touched the baklava with his bare hands while serving it, then wiped his hand on the area near the bottle stand by the door to clean off the stickiness, and afterwards wiped his hand on his clothes. Another staff member scratched his head and then continued handling food.

We were really disgusted. I’m sure none of them had bad intentions, but people working in food service should be much more mindful of hygiene. These things matter.

On top of that, the köfte we ordered was completely burnt on both sides—not just one or two pieces, but every single one across all three portions. Very...

This place is a must visit. I went here (two nights in a row) while working in Paris last year and have been thinking about it ever since. I brought my colleagues there recently (on two different nights again) and it exceeded our expectations. The Donor has improved so much in just a year and it’s an impossible task to leave that restaurant without eating an abundance of their incredible chicken wings! I’ll go back to this restaurant anytime I’m in Paris. The lads have a great place and I will continue to recommend this to any friend, family...

We ordered some mezze one of them being the sardines dish priced at €8. The dish looked shocking: just a few slim sardines were served on a salad bed. The hummus with lamb was OK but again, came as an extra small dish. As to the doner, pricing such a small portion at €11 was abysmal. To make matters worse, the chips were cold and soggy. 1 small glass of rather ordinary red wine was very costly too.

The place is narrow and uncomfortable. The service was speedy and slightly abrupt.

Excessively pricey...
