Butterfly Restaurant — Restaurant in Basel

The meat is unique and delicious, it's unlike most other Kebab places. Everything from the salads and sauces to the meat and the bread felt very fresh and high quality. The portions are either just right or enormous depending on the dish you order. It feels like you are ordering from a foreign country portion-wise. The service was very friendly and professional. Although you will have to wait in line (this place seems to be popular in general), the service is fast and it took us about 5-10 min from the back of a line starting well outside the restaurant. In fact they are so popular, they actually ran out of meat at around 10 o'clock, because so many people were ordering.

Overall I would recommend this place, be it dine-in...

Really unique and delicious doner on warm lightly toasted bread. Very simple but done well. I can see why people say it’s one of the best in Switzerland.

I do wish I could have gotten chilli sauce (but I don’t think they allow it on the sandwich since I asked and got chilli flakes.) The cocktail sauce I didn’t get but the yogurt one was very good. The salad reminded me of a burger a bit, and I liked it! I wish I could have gotten the gherkin but they didn’t include it in the sandwich. You might need to ask for that specifically or pay extra?

They have so many sizes to choose from and actually weigh the meat so I like how precise that is. We got the smallest...

Definitely Switzerland’s No. 1️⃣, which is why we traveled from Zurich more than 3 times in 2024 and 2025!

The flavors are unlike anything else in Switzerland and truly reflect authentic Turkish cuisine. We were positively surprised by how delicious it was. I highly recommend the place for its great variety, be sure to try the İskender Kebab, and its friendly staff.

This spot is a bit above the typical kebab place (except, of course, Ayverdis 😉), though there’s still room for improvement. Be prepared for the high prices, which is somehow the new standard.
