Döner Haus - East Village

So so so delicious! We got the mixed lamb and chicken, and it was amazing, though I would choose just one of the meats next time as it was a bit heavy for me. The fries were very crispy and good. I loved the sauces in the doner. This may be one of the best doners I’ve tasted in NY. Hard to get a seat though since they only had a few tables outside.

It was pretty good for a Döner in Ny, but not very “German-Turkish style” (as a Turkish person from Germany) Also expected to see Turkish or German workers. They also wouldn’t accept my apple wallet student ID and said I must have the physical copy. For some reason this just irritated me so much because who doesn’t have all their cards as Apple Pay now a days. I understand it’s their policy but genuinely how would I fake a student ID on apple wallet. It’s verified with your school ID number and everything… but besides that I think the prices and portions are good but probably won’t come back

Needed some late night grub and heard about this place. I ordered the Donor Sandwich and it was so good. Need to go back again whenever I'm in NYC.

I’ll start with what I liked. 1. The Original Chicken Doner was pretty good. The chicken was very well seasoned and flavorful. 2. The bread was very nice as well and had a slight crunch to it. 3. I don’t really eat potatoes but I tried the fries. It was Ok Not so good 1. There was some beef mixed in and I don’t eat beef. Probably a mistake. 2. There were parts of the sandwich with just bread, although the triangular shape allows for every corner to hold food. 3. Wasn’t as big as I thought, but it was filling. Overall, I liked it enough to return and try the box or sandwich again without the fries.

My german husband approved I can say this dönner definitely passed the test! It’s really delicious! You won’t be disappointed. Mix the two meats for the best taste

Atmosphere doesn't really exist much since it is takeout only, but man this place honks 🔥 The food is incredible, you get SO much bang for your buck, and the staff are super friendly, funny, and efficient. If you've never had döner, prepare to get blown away. If you have, prepare yourself for some great comfort food. 10/10

Their 914 number goes to a voicemail, walked all the way from work just to see that they included no meat on my mixed Döner box. Now for lunch all I have is this. As a customer who was excited to try this place, I feel robbed of money and lunch for the evening. EDIT: Management has since apologized and went above and beyond to supply me with an extra loaded box. Everything was delicious and the bread is definitely something to get as well! I’ll definitely be back!

I found this place via an instagram post. I love love 💕 love a good gyro so when I seen it I told myself next time I’m rolling through NY back to NJ it’s a must try. So I did. No line just walked up and ordered. 2 people waiting for food so I thought I lucked up. Ordered at 8:11 1 beef Döner sandwich, extra white sauce on the side. Thought it would be fairly quick considering all they make is gyros and bowls. Before I knew it people that ordered after me were getting their orders… 20 minutes wait for 1 sandwich and a half full side of white sauce. I’m sorry, but you only make gyros 🥙 20 minutes for one is ridiculous. The had to take a star away for that… As for the taste. The white sauce is ok. It complements the sandwich. The he meat is flavorful, tender and not salty at all. The bread has the perfect texture for the meat. All the stuff that’s inside just gels with everything. That was a DAMN GOOD GYRO… Other than the wait time I highly recommend and will be returning when I’m in NY. UPDATE….. Traveling through the city and decided to stop to try the chicken. This go round the wait time was much much better. The chicken is a tad bit salty but I purchased extra sauce and that cools it. I also got the spice sauce to try and boy oh boy.... It's definitely good and complements the sandwich but it is super hot for me. I will suffer later when it comes out I'm sure lol. Overall again a GREAT sandwich. Next time I will try the mixed. Because of the service this time I’m giving 5 stars!

Ordered via UberEats as I saw the Buy 1, Get 1 Free offer. Amazing Wrap! I ordered the Mixed Doner Wrap which has such fresh and beautifully seasoned halal beef and chicken, alongside fresh veggies and their signature garlic sauce. The wrap is very hearty which I appreciated. The bite was just as good the next day when I heated up my other wrap in the oven. Definitely will be ordering from them again.

Got the original sandwich with chicken. They put meat on one end and lettuce on the other side, instead of layering. So towards the end, all I tasted was lettuce. Chicken itself is flavorful. The fries is pretty good. Some special seasoning. Take out only. Staff is friendly. Service is quick.

Take out window only. No seating. Only 2 high top tables to stand at outside. It seems like they'd get even more business if they had seating. I ordered the original Doner combo, which cost about $18.50 (including an additional sauce). I got the mixed meat. The beef was the standout. The flavors!!! They put a little too much sauce on my sandwich though. Although that didn't stop me from dipping all the fries in the extra side of sauce that I got. The sandwich was more than enough for me too! Just as good the next day (minus the soggy bread, which wasn't my fav either).

Delicious, large portions, fairly priced. Highly recommend. I got the doner with mixed and it was very flavorful and I was quite full from it. Def would stop by again if in area and wanted a quick bite

Döner Haus in NYC is a delightful find, reminiscent of the döners from Germany that I've been missing since 2005. Finally, a taste that brings back memories of authentic German döner! Highly recommend for anyone craving a taste of Germany in the heart of NYC.

A huge sandwich for a good price. It was absolutely stuffed with the contents spilling out. This sandwich was really good and I'd happily come back. That being said, it's not the best kebab sandwich I've had. The white didn't add anything to the sandwich. I wasn't sure if it was in there. Although I would say the sandwich wasn't dry. It was very front loaded. As I made my way through it, it turned into bread and veggies. Speaking of, the pita bread was good and toasted. Although you have to eat it fresh. Still, if you're in the area it's worth it. Chances are I'll be back here.

If you are craving döner like you once had in Berlin... well you don't have to go too far anymore since Döner Haus now will satisfy that craving! The service is just like Germany where you just walk up to the counter, order, and your food is ready shortly. I have tried their beef, chicken, and mixed döners at different times and every time it is so tasty! The spicy sauce while it's not German spicy it actually packs quite a punch if you like spicy sauces. They have been very consistent with the large portions and flavor which is great. While they aren't German prices because it's New York they are still very much worth it! If you around the East Village or Union Square, either for lunch, dinner, late night, or just because you absolutely need to try Döner Haus!

Great tasting halal lunch option in Manhattan. Order from Uber eats and not only did it arrive fast but good fresh and tasty. Ordered the chicken sandwich to take home and it was a huge hit literally that sandwich was packed to the brim. Adding to my go to lunch spot.

Doner Haus has decent prices and a good portion size. I ordered 2 of the sandwiches combo and really liked the fries. The pita was definitely stuffed with a lot of protein and a decent amount of veggies. Only complaint is the pita tasted stale and not crispy at all.

This place is BOMB I never tried food like this before and I'm soo happy I did because it's different than your normal choices The flavors are incredible definitely try the bowls they're amazing and great protein choices It's a walk up spot so it's quick grab and go which is perfect and the guy at the window. Was soo niceee and helped us decide

Doener Haus delivers on value first and flavor second. This is a great place to get a filling meal for under twenty bucks. The flavor was not quite on point as I recalled from my time in Germany, but it is far from flavorless. I had the chicken and beef box with a small salad and fries AND a coke for twenty bucks. They don't skimp on the onions or tomatoes. There is a dressing for the salad too. This is a take out place with a giant window facing the sidewalk, which must be rather chilly for those who work there. The bottom line is this is a to-go place and you would be advised to eat as soon as possible, which is more tenable when the weather warms and you can eat right there where they have a few standing tables on the sidewalk. The Doener sandwich wedge might even taste better, with more focus on the meat. That's worth a revisit. Three stars

I'm quite picky with my German Döners, as I've had many in Hamburg and Berlin with family, and these were great!! First off, the storefront is fun, vibey, and intriguing. I kind of love that it's solely takeout with friendly faces to interact with. The service was a 5/5 -- so friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic! I also caught them at a time where things weren't too busy and my order was ready in under 5 minutes. Something to note for folks who may want to visit: they have a regular döner (chicken, beef, or a mix of chicken/beef) for approx $12 (if my memory serves me) but offer a combo for closer to $15 which offers a sandwich, fries, and a drink--seems like a great deal to me! For this time, though, I wasn't super hungry so I stuck with the sandwich. The bread was fresh and just the right balance of crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They truly did not skimp out on the fillings (which I so appreciated!). The chicken was super flavorful, as were the sauces, lettuce, onions, and tomato. Well-seasoned and well-cooked! Not greasy at all. The one thing I was not the biggest fan of was the spicy sauce. I usually like spice, but I didn't feel it was necessary in this sandwich--it felt a tad overpowering for me personally. Having consumed my fair share of authentic German döners, it was an element to the sandwich I was unfamiliar with and didn't love. Next time, I'll ask for more tzatziki and no spicy sauce. It's also a tad expensive (I'm used to döners in Germany being 4-6 Euros), but hey, it's NYC. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and will be back!

I got the doner box with beef that comes with french fries and red cabbage / lettuce on the side. The beef tasted good. I don't like french fries as the side and prefer something healthier like white or brown rice. The red cabbage and lettuce was blah. A bottled water or soda comes with the meal which was nice. I didn't like paying $15.99 and then tax brought the meal to $17.41. Too pricey in my opinion. I can just go to Chipotle and get a bowl for less than $15 and I can get a cup of water for free. Again, nothing special about the fries and "light salad". There is no seating at this restaurant. It's basically buy, pickup and go. I won't go out of my way to come here and I probably won't return.

Döner Haus brings down the house with its German styled halal which taste better seems healthier and is less greasy! This spot is pick up only! Blast euro music into tue streets and is like a food dance party out in the streets and then in your mouth after you start munching on their food. The guy working the front was nice and took the time to explain the food. You can get their platter or sandwich. I got the sandwich combo with fries and a drink. The fries are so flavorful doesn't need any ketchup or anything the sandwich is delicious I suggest getting spicy. One this that was kinda weird to me is the yogurt like sauce they use on it, I think it's unnecessary and takes away from the flavor of the meat. In short: - Great pick up spot for delicious healthier halal - Perfect drunk food spot - No seating

Honestly - WOW. I got a beef doner box and a chicken one (the owner's recommendation was the chicken). At first I was perturbed at the size considering the box already comes with fries. You look inside and there's a HEFTY amount of beef on top of thin cut fries and salad on the side. My first bite had beef with sauce and a fry too - wow. So freaking tasty!!! I love me a cream sauce, and it really makes the bite flavorful, especially with the spice blend they have. I think it's a paprika, so I'm glad I got the spicy instead of the non spicy. The chicken is just as good. The salad it comes with is pretty essential to take a break from the carby heavy goodness. This is a perfect drunchies OR hangover food, although I'd def have to share it with probably 1 other person lol. I have to remember to ask for more sauce!!! There's no seating but it's a vibey place, I'd prob come and just eat it on the street especially in the summer. Def coming back to trying the doner sandwich with custom made bread. The staff is super sweet and speedy!

Döner Haus offers a taste of Turkish cuisine in the heart of NYC, but unfortunately, my experience was just okay. While the food was decent, I found the portions to be on the small side, leaving me feeling a bit underwhelmed. The flavors were there, but I wished for more generous servings considering the price. Overall, it's a decent option.

You're not going to find a better kebab sandwich in Manhattan. Not only is the meat delicious (and pure meat for you keto people, no fillers) but they toast the pide pocket so it's really crispy. Also, I love crazy hot sauce that creamy hot sauce they give you is no joke. Go east on it until you you know you can handle it.

This restaurant opened on 2nd ave and East 14 st giving out free food to 100s of people for reviews to test out the meals. It was very nice of them. My review: portions are big enough. I got shredded beef on shredded lettuce with a slice of tomato. The beef was carved off a slab similar to greek meat. There is also à chicken option. Fries are included with the meal. Choice is spicy or not spicy. I chose not spicy and can just imagine what spicy is! I couldn't eat anything it was like chili burning in my stomach. Each swallow hurt. The little sauce on top helped curve the burn. Sorry guys... but I appreciate the try.

Ordered the combo chicken and beef combo box since I'm gluten intolerant. I was impressed by the spicing of the meat and the fries. The beef was tender and moist too. But wasn't so impressed by the amount of meat and fries, with salad making up half of the box. Not only that, but there were literally only 3 tiny pieces of chicken. I was left hungry. I suppose the bread in the sandwich would have made this snack more filling. Was that the reason the person at the counter emphatically recommended the sandwich?

The food was ok. It was big and messy. Fries were seasoned well. Glad I tried it, but I'm not interested in going back.

Awesome food, generous portions and the staff is extremely friendly! Definitely a place I revisit when I'm in the area.

Every bite of this meal was super tasty. The meats are super tender and flavorful, the fries incredible - the spice on the fries is so so good, the pickled cabbage and salad added the perfect bite and acidity. A very satisfying meal and I can't wait to eat from here again!

Quick fast casual spot that dishes out their food very quick. The meat was very tender and flavorful and the price is reasonable with a combo for a more than needed filling lunch with a fries and drink. Great spot and service

After a disappointing trip to Halal Guys, I hit up Doner Haus and let me tell ya, it's like night and day. The kebabs here are insane -- so much flavor and quality. The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, a complete 180 from Halal Guys' bland mess. Even the pita was on point. And the sauce? Unreal! Felt like I was back in Germany without ever leaving NYC. Plus, the vibe in the place is super chill. It might not be the cheapest spot, but you get what you pay for and then some. The girl gave me a friend card, it was super cute lol - apparently with that it's 20% off on everything. Doner Haus, you got a fan for life!

Their pide-bread is nice and crispy, reminds me the Döner I had in Berlin. Fries and meat are well seasoned and the sauce kind of garlic taste

Dont let the pornhub logo dissuade you. This is a solid doner with heaps of thinly sliced veggies, packed in with a generous portion of mixed meats. Goes great with the spicy + white sauce combo. Held in by that flattened german doner style bread that keeps all the good stuff inside with fluffy crispy structural i n t e g r i t y whilst you eat the sandwich. It's a solid takeout lunch to hit the doner craving better than the trendier sitdowns, and sometimes thats all you want. Nothing more, nothing less.

The Döner is delicious and an offering that cannot be found anywhere else. It will be our afternoon, lunch go to on Sundays. Service with a smile and picnic tables for outside dining.

Best döner spot all the other once are just imitations, this is the real deal just like back at home with a unique one of a kind flavored fries just amazing highly recommended Doner

You know a place is good when they only have a few menu items. I was about to get jaw surgery, so I wanted to really dig into some food that needed chewing. TLDR I'm definitely coming back here: Flavor: 5/5 Portions: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Presentation: 5/5 But yo the bread was so so hard, it was too hard. I had to go find a fork somewhere to get to the rest of the interior filings because the bread was like a brick. Everything else was so bussin though this definitely deserves a second chance

I absolutely love Döner Kebabs, so when I stumbled upon an Instagram video about Döner Haus, I knew I had to give it a try and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I ordered the beef döner kebab with all the delicious sauces and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. The flavors were absolutely mouthwatering and the meat was perfectly cooked. To complement my meal, I got a side of their french fries and they were a crispy delight. While unfortunately there is no space inside to sit and eat, I lucked out with one of the outside standing tables, which was great. I must say that the welcoming and the friendly attitude of the staff added to my enjoyment of this tasty experience. I'm already eagerly looking forward to my next visit, where I plan to try the chicken döner and their fries with beef box. Overall, Döner Haus has become my new go-to spot for delicious döner kebabs whenever I find myself in the Union Square area.

Highly recommend. Their premier sandwich is very good as it's juicy and tasty. My wife and kids also loved it. I wish the price was a bit lower as Bidenonmic's inflation is everywhere taking away the value aspect.

* Day 6 of Ramadan brought us to @realdonerhaus based out of Germany and quite possibly one of the more popular Döner kabab chains in Europe. This is their first US location and they are getting quite a welcome! What we got: *mix döner combo over platter *chicken döner sandwich *vegetarian sandwich Being an avid shawarma fan, I look for the newest spots around and love trying various kabab dishes from across the globe. Although Döner is quite similar in texture to shawarma, I was told by the manager that it's different in the way it's prepped and cooked. Can anyone enlighten me? The döner were simply seasoned, slightly charred and an absolute delight!! This place has just opened up this month and they are busy off the bat. They're takeout only so please plan ahead! A simple menu makes this a great quick grab and go place you should put on your list. Next up is the Döner kabab spot in Astoria for comparison!!

Asked for no tomatoes twice and emphasized that I'm allergic. Still got tomatoes. Don't go if you need any dietary customizations.

Although ample size the meat in this doner was way overcooked and spiced. To the point where you can't tell what you're eating.

Restaurant that's operating strictly out of a window so there's no seating, just grab and go. Honestly a solid spot with great wraps that are flavorful and filling! If you're craving something quick I'd stop by here and take a look!

I stopped by earlier today for the grand opening I had the chicken doner with everything and haus fries which were awesome!!. The staff were all really cool as well!. Can't wait to come back!!

We got one of each Beef Döner Sandwich Beef Döner Box. Everything was good except the fries were extremely stale and hard to chew.

Traveling through the city and decided to stop to try the chicken. This go round the wait time was much much better. The chicken is a tad bit salty but I purchased extra sauce and that cools it. I also got the spice sauce to try and boy oh boy.... It's definitely good and complements the sandwich but it is super hot for me. I will suffer later when it comes out I'm sure lol. Overall again a GREAT sandwich. Next time I will try the mixed.

Absolutely incredible place!! I had a chicken with fries and it was so crispy!! Loaded With toppings and sooo affordable! Get here !

Doner, different than halal cart, is more recognizable as a Turkish shawarma, and Doner Haus specializes on the sandwich. They use a fresh waffle flatbread, well-seasoned chicken and beef, and various sauces and mixed veg. All adds up to a perfectly textured treat at a fair price point.

Whoa ! Finally a nyc line worth joining. I've passed this place a couple times before finally getting to try it. It didn't disappoint! Firstly, this sandwich can easily feed two people to the point of food pregnancy. There's so much food stuffed in a perfect pita. The meat is seasoned well, cut thin so it's tender and has some crispy caramelized pieces that are to die for. There's also lots of fresh elements too like onions, tomatoes and lettuce that lighten up the meal. It's such a great bite, I ate it twice in a week! The beef is better than chicken.

The chicken döner sandwich is amazing. The meat, the hot sauce, the perfectly crusted bread, the balance that the shredded cabbage gives you has me hooked. A few tips: - The sandwich is MESSY. If you're eating it there (which means at a standing table on the street) bring water so you can clean your hands afterwards, dry napkins aren't enough. - Take it slow with the hot sauce, it's serious. Delicious, but serious.

Wow. Just. Wow. This is the best meat on bread that you can get in the city. I'm never ordering Mamoun's again. I tried both the chicken and the beef and they are equally fantastic. Their sauces are also spectacular.

"Indulging in the delicious fusion of Greek flavors and the true German Döner experience at Döner Haus! From 100% beef to 100% chicken, this take-out spot takes German cuisine to another level. The warm welcome from the team and the charming location make it a must-visit. Prost!"

My husband and I both love doner and when we found a doner spot when visiting NYC we had to stop in. We both got beef doner and a shared some fries. Will definitely be back the next time we are in the city.

Amazing food, the sandwich is a mixture of texture and explosive flavors and so fresh and crisp. Amazing meal and packaging is very cute! I'd give 10 stars if I could!

Closest thing you will get to German Döner in NYC period. They don't offer lamb but the chicken and beef are still pretty good. They also have all the correct toppings which is awesome. Be warned though this is strictly a takeaway place. They do not even have an open indoor space. You order at a window and they drop it off at the window so this is not a date night spot.

I'm German and grew up with Döner. I was so excited to go because it brought back memories of my childhood. It's so good. I'm so glad we have this in New York now. The Döners are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the meat is cooked to absolute perfection. So tender and flavorful, and the sauces are just perfect. It's exactly like I had it in Germany as a kid. Try the spicy sauce, you won't regret it! The atmosphere is also very authentic. I highly recommend it to anyone, who loves döner kebabs or wants to experience a taste of Germany. It's the perfect place to take your friends for a quick and delicous street meal. To all Germans: Das ist das echte Original mit den klassischen Dreiecktaschen, Ihr müsst es ausprobieren!

Tasty, but no lamb "Americans don't eat lamb.". No indoor seating. There are a couple standing bar tables set up on the sidewalk.
