Lahmacun 3.5 out of 5 Doner Sandwich 2.5/5 Sutlac 3.5/5 Ayran 4/5
Lahmacun is pretty good. The taste of the meat is good. No smell or any overpowering taste. The crust is little crunchy which I don't like soft lahmacun but this one is cracker crunchy especially on the edges which needs to be soften up a little, maybe little more water in the dough or less time in the oven. But overall it is good. Doner meat is pretty decent, nice mix but it did have many burnt parts which messed up the whole taste of the sandwich because it does give bitter taste to the whole thing. Doner business is tough. You either have to have really fast turnover or you need to control the meat really closely when you cannot have non-stop customers. You can turn off/super low heat but then you will face drying the meat. Not easy thing to make unless you sell every few minutes. The sandwich bread they bake in-house is tasty but needs to be tad smaller or when you order you can have them take the inside of the bread to make it smaller. Ayran was very good, I enjoyed it. The saltiness and thickness were good. Sutlac was good but although I like all my desserts less sugary than normal, this sutlac needs little bit more sugar. Though, the milk taste was good. Overall, good place but can be better for sure. I am giving 4 stars because I cannot give 3.5 stars. If these are fixed, I think it can be easy 4.5 stars.
The service was excellent. My server was super nice. They were all nice there. All...

The Doner Wrap was a perfect blend of flavors and textures. The tender, thinly sliced meat was packed with savory goodness, complemented by fresh vegetables and wrapped in a warm, soft flatbread that added just the right amount of chewiness. Every bite was a journey through Mediterranean flavors, with the meat perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.
And let's talk about the Atom Yogurt Dip - a revelation in itself! Creamy, tangy, and with a hint of garlic, it was the ideal companion to the wrap. The yogurt dip added a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the Doner, making each bite more delightful than the last.
The service at Citir was also exceptional. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, eager to recommend dishes and ensure a pleasant dining experience. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, making it a great spot whether you're dining in or grabbing a quick bite.

The star of the show was the incredible selection of vegetarian mezze dishes. It was like a symphony of flavors on a plate! We dove into creamy hummus, some of the best we've ever had. Its smooth texture and perfect seasoning were a delight. The warm, fluffy bread was the ideal companion, scooping up every delicious morsel.
