  • quoting the article you linked:

    The modern sandwich variant of doner kebab originated and was popularized in 1970s West Berlin by Turkish immigrants.[5][6][7] This was recognized by the Berlin-based Association of Turkish Döner Manufacturers in Europe in 2011.[8]

    but it kinda doesn’t matter where it was invented, point is that most people absolutely mean this dish when they say döner kebab.





  • While “döner kebap” means spinning skewer in Turkish (I think?), it’s internationally known as the name of a dish that originated in Berlin. This dish contains meat from said skewer, but also vegetables, particularly cabbage, and garlic/yoghurt sauce, in a turkish style flatbread.

    A tofu version of said dish is what’s being posted. This obviously doesn’t involve a large spinning skewer or real meat, but its a variation on the dish so it makes sense to call it that.
