Alaturka Doner Kebab & Falafel — Restaurant in Delhi

The first thing I did after getting out of this place was google what Alaturka meant. For all those curious peeps like me, it means "in traditional Turkey style" and I'm pleased to tell you guys that they're true to their name.

The ambience of the outlet at Select City is 2 fold: A) You could either sit inside their diner which is basically like subway except you'll see pin boards covered in turkish liras and that big rotisserie on which some lip smacking doner kebabs are being processed. They've got 4 big televisions placed on top of the counter where they'll continuously run some turkish cooking channels and behind the main counter, they'll be barbequing the rest of their menu items. A small, basic set up but definitely authentic. B) You could sit outside in the open air seating space which is more like a mix of fine dine and a casual affair. Why I call it fine dine is coz of the dim lights (of course I mean you're going for dinner) and the hot piping mouth watering food being delivered to your table. Why its also casual is coz the furniture is basic and people are taking a stroll around.

Moving on towards the food, of course the non vegetarian options on the menu easily  outweigh the number of vegetarian options but lets be honest, your basic turkish flavours are MOSTLY falafel/hummus pita  and shawarma and then you can keep changing the fillings based on your taste buds. I was sure I'm gonna come back so did not experiment with both together. I ordered a falafel roll meal that came with french fries, lemonade and some pickled veggies. The meal size was just appropriate for one person: I wasn't stuffed but I couldn't have eaten more either. The outer roll for the falafel was just as yummy as the inside and their queer combination of sauces added to the middle eastern flavour. I wont say that they're the best falafels I've had but as a meal, definitely I'd rate it at 4/5.

Overall, a  good Job by Sercan Unsalm: the once 20 year old turkish student studying business at DU, with just one dream at hand: making his friends  relish the flavour of the original turkish cuisine! I think I can safely say dreams...

This place doesn't deserve even one star, but i had to give it 1 star since you need to rate it in order to post. I went to Alaturka in Select City Walk mall with a friend of mine and trust me as soon as we entered the place, it smelt like a butcher shop, you could literally smell raw meat all over the place, very poor hygiene level. Tho we still decided to place an order as we had already decided on the place, we ordered the doner meal. As soon as we took a bite of the roll we realized that the meat used in the roll is stale, probably spoilt. My friend left the entire meal just after a single bite, I continued eating my meal because I didn't want it to go to waste as 1 meal had already gone to waste, it tasted horrible but finished it anyhow. The worst part is I had an upset stomach after eating from this place, I took some meds before bed hoping that I'll be better when I wake up but no it didn't. I had severe pain and discomfort in my stomach and felt nauseous. I had to visit a doc when my condition worsened only to realize that it's food poisoning because of the meal i had at Alaturka. I'm still on medication and recovering. I am posting this coz i don't other people to go through what i did. Please guys save your money and do not go to this place. Do not compromise on your health. This place is a big NO NO!! I regret going to this place and would never recommend...

Surprisingly their gurgaon outlet which is on golf course road doesn’t have any google page 🤠 so I’m writing a review over here after getting a very severe food infection .

My experience at alturka golf course road was extremely disappointing. I couldn't believe the poor quality of the food particularly, the hummus, which tasted stale and sour. On top of that their manager or owner i don’t know who is he by the name (Rohit samson ) cribs and ready to charge extra when you ask a lil extra humus.

The customer service wasn't any better as the staff seemed uninterested and disengaged.

Furthermore, the entire restaurant had a musty odor, and the atmosphere was drab and uninviting. Nothing about the experience was pleasant, from the unpleasant ambiance, poor service, to the stale and sour hummus. I also developed stomach infection after eating their paneer shawrma roll. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and will never be...
