On March 20th, Döner Haus opened and introduced the East Village to their German-style Kebasb. The Döner kebab is a popular meat dish that originated in Turkey. In Germany, the Döner - as it's simply called there - came to life when Turkish immigrants in the 50s came to Germany and brought their cuisine along. Missing many classic Turkish ingredients for the kebab, they started using German ingredients such as cabbage, or even sauerkraut and other pickled vegetables. They also started catering to the German preference of having “crispy” food and offered the Kebab in a pressed Turkish flatbread, as opposed to serving it with rice. It's more like a sandwich, with all ingredients placed into a "triangle pouch" flat-bread and flavored with garlic sauce.

Other differences include the meat in Turkish-style Döner kebabs is usually lamb or a mixture of lamb and beef, while in German-style Döner kebabs, it is usually chicken, turkey, or just beef.

Turkish-style Döner kebabs are typically served with rice and vegetables, or in a soft, thin bread called lavash, while German-style Döner kebabs are usually served in a pressed crispy flatbread called pide.

German-style Döner kebabs may have cabbage, sauerkraut or other pickled vegetables as well as commonly used onions, tomatoes, and salad in Turkey.

Turkish-style Döner kebabs are typically served with Mediterranean sauces such as tzatziki or tahini sauce, while German-style Döner kebabs generally come with a special dill based garlic sauce.

You can select from Chicken, Beef, and soon Vegan for your protein. Notably all the meat from Döner Haus are 100% halal and 100% free of any fillers, which is uncommon for gyro in NYC.

If you're counting carbs, you can order their Döner Box without fries and you'll be able to enjoy an almost zero-card meal. Keep in mind that tomatoes have carbs, but the menu is customizable so you can leave something out or get anything extra.

When ordering, there is the Döner Kebab Sandwich, which is the classic German Döner experience featuring sliced rotisserie meat in a bread-pocket with garlic sauce, as well as the Döner Box, which is shaved meat over fries and salad with plenty of garlic sauce. There is also the Haus Fries, French fries with a secret German seasoning.
