Kumar-Doner Kebab e Pizzeria — Restaurant in Lisbon

We called earlier tonight to make sure they still had gluten-free pizza since I am highly intolerant and we had some there last December. My boyfriend had the regular one and we both thought they were not too bad for the price, nothing fancy but gluten-free options are rare so we decided to go once more. So we ordered and went to pick it up. On the phone, no one could answer us properly and we speak french, english AND portuguese! They still assured us that our order would be ready. 20-25 minutes later when we arrived... they were waiting for us, empty-ended, telling us that they had not prepared the order since they had no gluten-free crust! They had our number, and yet they offered us the WORST customer care experience we have ever had. They treat their guests so poorly, you should look elsewhere. Even a tuk-tuk driver nearby told us that we could easily find better and cheaper options, alas not gluten-free....

So me and my partner bought an Odisseias voucher to use and this was the only place we found to be of interest to us at the moment. We were, however, pleasantly surprised!

We both got the Fish Burger (which in reality simply uses fish sticks) and the Kebab in that specific bread whose name I don't recall 😅

Considering the price we saw listed and the food we got, I'd say it was a very good budget option, the Kebab was especially very good! Recommended! 👏🏻

The service by one of the ladies at the counter was very, very nice, too. She was super friendly, caring and made sure everything was as we wanted and asked. 🥳

One of the things I didn't like very much was the table, as it felt kinda' sticky (probably due to it being a hard plastic cleaned recently). Still, that's a minor convenience.

Overall it's a place...

Location, location, location! Kumar-Doner Kebab stands happily as the example of the contemporary "round the corner cheap Caffe", at the entrance to a residential area. Geographically it can be construed as the end of downtown and the beginning of the residential area from the Field of the Martyrs of the Fatherland to Great Field where Lisbon ended. It was a new Lisbon when it was built to be a 20th century metropolis (that became the vibrant local Lisbon at the start of the 21st), known fondly as the New Avenues area. So Kumar-Doner is nice outside Caffe to sit for afternoon's end drink, looking at Lisbon's traffic but only part of much more to explore. Not everyone's cup of tea but certainly a...
