DÖNA in Essen

Unfortunately, my kebab, which cost almost €10, did not live up to my expectations. The meat was extremely dry and the overall package tasted anything but fresh. In addition to the kebab, I also purchased a 0.2 Fritzlimo for €3.20, which in my opinion is a completely exorbitant price. Nevertheless, it can be noted that I was served by friendly and competent staff.

I come from Frankfurt and don't know a single kebab that comes close to this quality. Bomb!

Price performance ratio is okay. A kebab costs a little more money, but it was of very good quality. We ordered the vegan version and it was one of the best we've ever eaten.

Very nice shop. One of the most beautiful I've ever been to. My vegetarian kebab could have used more anger.

Everything was very good, regardless of whether it was the service, the atmosphere or the food itself. The staff was extremely friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant and the food was beautifully prepared and tasted very good. The portions were absolutely reasonable for the price. I have found my favorite Döna.

Unfortunately my regular snack bar, Greek, in Rellinghausen was closed, so I made an exception for more than twelve years and bought kebab. 15 € for a kebab plate that is 1 million km away from the kebab that I know from the seventies and eighties, everything is chopped up and very, very airy. Which means little mass was great and the mayonnaise was not given in separate bowls on the plate so you save a total of fries once and never again and no more kebabs in the future. Cevapi and gyros taste 100,000 times better.

The food is good quality, but the organizational problems outweigh the problems. As a group of 7, we waited over 50 minutes for food. The order was only prepared when we asked, so it's obvious that we were forgotten. The last dish came after an hour and 10 minutes. Meanwhile we were able to watch all the other tables being served. When paying, the cashier was unable to use the EC Cash device to give the customer a copy of the receipt. In summary, the food was quite good, but the mood afterwards was in the basement.

A lot at a good price, but I'm subtracting a star because we had to wait a long time. They have huge salads which I recommend!

We waited more than one hour... For a kebab... It was expensive, there was no fries with the kebab, additional fries were 4,50 euros, they refused to give us free water and the water was... 7 euros !! After one hour they came to told us that one of the meal we ordered was out of stock. So, after all, we asked for a little discount, regarding the service conditions and they refused. Bad experience, totally unprofessional.

On-site service at the table! Waited almost an hour for food 7 Dish! Here food was mixed up or the wrong ones were brought to eat One meal came 20 minutes apart from the others The food tasted good, the fries were only lukewarm and the meat was great All in all only three stars If you see the price performance level!

The food was quite good, the meat was definitely good. The ambience is okay, nothing extraordinary and nothing bad either However, we had to wait almost 1 hour for food and the orders were mixed up. The staff was nice

We were totally positively surprised when we were there spontaneously today. Several vegan variants and all of them were very tasty 😋 will definitely come back

Worst and slowest place in Essen. We waited over 1 h for the food. Other visitors left before getting the food.

DÖNA is our favorite doner kebab restaurant in Essen! Here you get top quality kebab meat and a nice ambience. Plus the Döna of the month, such as the WiesnDöna now at Oktoberfest. DÖNA is not a run-of-the-mill kebab shop, but here you get something really good for your money. My favorite is the Cilli Milli plate, as you can see in the photo.

I recently visited DÖNA, but unfortunately my visit didn't quite meet my expectations. The food arrived cold and unfortunately I wasn't impressed with the taste. I also felt the price was a bit too high in relation to the quality. Another problem was that the waiter didn't know exactly what types of meat he was offering, which caused confusion. What was particularly disappointing was the rude treatment at the end of the visit, when my “bye” wasn’t even politely returned. However, I would like to highlight the location positively - the store is beautifully designed, warm and visually very appealing. Unfortunately, overall it seemed more like “more appearance than reality”. There is definitely potential, especially if the service and quality of the food improve.

Very tasty food, top service and nice atmosphere.

The food quality is quite good and tasty. suggestion!!

The location: nice, the service: nice, the side dishes: very fresh and tasty, the main ingredient: meat: cheap. All in all . High price for a lot of ChiChi

I can't recommend it. Very unfriendly staff. The food doesn't taste good.

Really delicious, especially the offers for vegans, never eaten such a delicious veggie kebab, prices totally OK, nice decor, tipitoppi!

Very nice. Delicious food and nice staff. Waitress with apron and pigtails was particularly nice. Always happy again 😊

Doesn't taste good and is too expensive Waiting time: +30 minutes

The biggest mistake is entering a restaurant based on the pictures and menu But unfortunately the experience will not be repeated

With a clear conscience, I can recommend this restaurant to everyone. The kebab creations are unusual and the plate dishes are very tasty. The store is always clean.

Super delicious food, lots of vegan options. The employees were all very nice and accommodating, the food came quickly and tasted delicious. We like to come back again and again.

This was our second time there and we probably won't come back again. The plates have 5% meat content, otherwise only salad and fries, and the food is cold. Unfortunately, the vegan kebab chunks are hard and absolutely tasteless. In addition, it doesn't exactly speak well for the store if the employees help themselves to the fries from the container, where the customers' fresh fries are then tipped on and handed out to them. It's a real shame because the idea of ​​the dishes really had potential. But implementation is 0

Little meat, vegan complete disaster, with meat completely ok

Really delicious kebabs I ate basic kebab + chicken. Two people ate one. It was plentiful and delicious. The staff was very friendly and nice.

Very nice service and nice restaurant. The food was also very good.

Today we ordered a big final meal for our course before the vacation. I had a Döna salad. Plus a lemon olive oil dressing. It was really incredibly delicious. The ratio of meat to salad was perfect and the dressing wasn't too overpowering. My colleagues also rave about the Döna. (I love this pun) It's a little more expensive, yes. but very very good!

Vegan döner is just soggy soy strips with very litte flavor.

Very good. The service was very good. A blonde young man.

This salad created an explosion of flavors in my mouth. I had a really hard time stopping for a few seconds to take the photo quickly. Thank you, I haven't eaten such a delicious salad in a long time🫰🏻🫰🏻 The salad is called: Meat Chicken Salad or something like that.

Sorry but the store is pure garbage. Was there for the first time and was completely disappointed. Doner kebab not tasty and overpriced. It tasted bad, had a stomach ache afterwards… And I had to wait over 30 minutes for that!!??? Waiting so long for a kebab is really disgusting. No thanks

The perfect place for a delicious kebab. Food: excellent taste with fresh ingredients, large portion, the bread was to die for. Shop: comfortably furnished and super comfortable seating. Catering: particularly friendly customer service.

It's 28° and I'm eating a kebab with pomegranate. I can still tell my grandchildren about it

Cartilage in poultry. After complaining they just said I was sorry.

Huge doner and tasty! Very friendly staff

Best halloumi salad 🥗 I was in a hurry, it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy this place more. Tasty, vegan options (and also meat options). Quality products. I had a very rich salad, with the halloumi grilled in the moment. Was truly delicious! You can choose your sauce. The lemon and oil fits perfectly. Great location in a street full of restaurants. Quick service. €15 w/ salad + water.

Everything great. It tasted very good. Recommended

So if you don't try it, it's your own fault. I can only say one thing. We got 2 iskender kebabs with my husband earlier, a highlight that's simply bomb, you have to eat something like that...! In any case, we'll be back...! We ate the food at home so I can't say anything about the service but I give it 5 stars 👍

The Sucuk Doner (Doner of the Month) was A1

Great food, great location. Order in small batches as the single piece is filling [enough for 2 for meager eaters like me]

Found the food bland and not tasty. Then it's better to have a falafel bag at a normal kebab shop than the vegan alternative at Döna. It was worth a try but I don't recommend it.

Best quality, really delicious. Only recommended. Top

From start to finish, the experience was deeply disappointing and concerning. Firstly, the rice that accompanied our meal was severely overcooked, to the point of being almost inedible. However, the real issue was the chicken. It had a very old and nasty taste, which immediately raised red flags. Despite our initial visitis, we gave it a chance, but it was a decision we soon regretted. Shortly after leaving the restaurant, both my wife and I began experiencing severe stomach pain. Within a few hours, we were both vomiting. It was a horrible experience and made us seriously question the food safety practices at this establishment. Given this experience, I cannot recommend Döna to anyone. Food quality and safety are paramount, and this place failed miserably on both counts. Save yourself the trouble and dine elsewhere.

The vegan kebab tastes good, but the "meat" is not very well seasoned/marinated. But this is made up for by the delicious sauces, the crispy bread and the fresh salad. Prices are rather high (döner kebab €8.90 or more and small fries with ketchup over €5).

The kebab was delicious and unfortunately also more expensive. Where not? The service was good.

I was kicked out of this shop for no reason... I've eaten here a few times before, but something like this happened to me for the first time yesterday, May 20th, 2024... I spoke to the owner a few months ago about bulgur (rice) that was too tasty. He was nice and made me a new one and bought me a drink. And today he came in again, greeted me immediately and pointed out that a sink wall in the toilet had been demolished, for which he then thanked me and left the store until then everything was fine. But I never experienced what happened after that in my life. So... 15 minutes later the cellar lady comes and wants to collect without me asking her then another employee came and said boss said I should go now. I had been sitting for a long time, I explained to him why because I wanted to go to training straight away anyway and why does the boss say It's not personal to me, but he was here talking to me a few minutes ago...unintelligible... Where does it say how long you can stay in the restaurant, I didn't know there was a limit, if so you have to explain it in writing. I then paid my money and left the store disappointed and very sad because I couldn't understand the boss's reasoning... something like that doesn't work at all... I will not be entering this store again and I will not recommend it to anyone 🤦‍♂️🤨😔 The ambience is deceptive! Conclusion… Not recommended ! Are really disappointed! Never again.

Friendly service, unusual kebab combinations, lots of vegetarian options

Really cheeky to charge 14 euros for a kebab plate with 10 fries and some salad/meat! You get more for your money at other stores! I can therefore only recommend going somewhere else.

I ordered something to take away. The shop has a very nice atmosphere. The kebab is extremely tasty. With really fresh vegetables, the likes of which I've never had in a kebab and quite a lot. The meat is super juicy and has enough sauce until the end. Despite the long transport, the fries were still very tasty and perfect. ! Any time.

Very friendly staff and owner, furnishings are nice but drafty when the door is open and the narrow, elongated cut makes it more suitable for small groups of up to 4 people. Absolute recommendation from the bouncer Teller

Unfortunately the rating has dropped from 4 to 3 stars. Meat and bread really good..Unfortunately not salad.Old poorly chosen.It wouldn't be so goodexl Sakat Rucvola pp hidden under the other things Very nice young man in service unfortunately didn't keep the RAUSCH free after we ate..So not a professional But it can still come. Ambiance is excellent. Hopefully it will be like it was 2 years ago then there will be another star

Had a metal thread in the Dürüm, but got a fresh one straight away. Otherwise the taste was ok but not outstanding

Pretty fancy, but unfortunately I didn't like my kebab

Super tasty variety and doner kebabs with a difference if you want. Great modern atmosphere, super friendly staff. A visit is always worthwhile. We will come back

We ordered two kebabs and a small fries. Unfortunately a kebab came very cold and the fries came very late. After I spoke to the waitress about the cold kebab, she warmed it up for me. The kebab was only warm on the outside. In addition, the paper that was wrapped around the kebab stuck to the yufka. Very unfortunate...

Best kebab in Essen Lots of meat inside, good sauces and the salad is really something different. This is exactly how a kebab should taste, it's not cheap, but you get exactly what you need, juicy, lots of sauce and there's no shortage of cheese

I really like the store and so does my wife. We like to eat the Pommegrante here, a kebab either classic or as Yufka with pomegranate and other delicacies. Price is completely ok because the quality is right here. I will gladly come again ;)

The best “Döna Tella” I have ever eaten! Fresh ingredients and you notice the quality, so you're happy to pay a little more! Delivery via Uber Eats was also really easy and hassle-free. Any time!

Is not recommended. Meat was very dry and black. The waiter with the beard was very unfriendly.

We actually just wanted to go for some fries. We waited forever, it didn't taste good at all and was overpriced at €8 per fries and €3.50 per water!!! The sesame sauce was spoiled!

Not sure what it was, but it was incredible!

What good is the best concept or best ambience if the food doesn't taste good?

Veggie kebab would be hard and lukewarm. Staff didn't know about their own products. Too expensive for that.

Not good quality of food! The salad was old and not fresh. Not recommended for the price.

I've been to the store several times but have always been disappointed. The service is really poor - despite the empty shop, my group and I were served very late and the drinks and kebabs took ages to arrive. Now for the kebab: The quality is clearly not an issue here First and foremost, what you should actually expect given the high prices. It seems like you just want to make the kebab look nice. The meat is really below average and the vegetables are average. The ingredients are so poorly distributed that you actually only end up with salad in your mouth and in the end only bread and meat soaked in oil. Really no recommendation. Never again!

Today we were at Döna Essen on Rüttenscheiderstr. The restaurant is very nicely done, I have to say, but only one person was sitting empty. Me and my wife's food was cold!! Salad tomatoes were wobbly and not fresh (it had been in the fridge for a long time)! My wife ordered chicken kebab with bulgur (rice) the rice was not fresh and smelled (old)!! I asked her about it and was told that everything is made fresh every day!! Unfortunately this wasn't the case! We didn't continue eating, it was inedible!! every normal kebab shop is better!! Believe me And the two gentlemen behind the counter were unfriendly! Paid 29 euros for the inedible 2 plates without drinks!! and left. The ambience is deceptive! Conclusion… Not recommended ! Are really disappointed! Never again.

Nie wieder kann ich auch nicht weiter empfehlen sorry

Salat Tasche teurer als Döner mit Fleisch komm und versteh das einer. Garkein Sinn !!! Und Wallah ihr Schmeckt nicht

Mir war Tage lang unwohl nach dem ich dort gegessen habe . Das Personal war sehr unfreundlich und grob . Fazit nicht zu empfehlen.

Preise gehen klar, Fleisch ist gut, Brot ist gut. Ich hatte den "Pomegranate", Döner ohne klassische Knoblauchsauce, dafür mit Granatapfelkernen und passender Sauce ist Mal was anderes. Ich denke, es wird demnächst über andere Varianten nachberichtet. Nachbericht Geschmacklich immer noch gut.Die Preise haben aber mehr als Markrüblich angezogen. Die Portion für 9.50 ist schon seeehr klein. PreisLeistung passt nicht mehr

Ich habe den Laden bei vorbei gehen entdeckt, und er ist mir direkt positiv aufgefallen, also habe ich mir mal ein veganen döna bestellt und zwar den Veganuary, der döna war perfekt und auch ziemlich groß, ich habe auch bei anderen leuten mitbekommen das sie sehr überrascht über die größe ihrer Portion waren, also alles zusammen mit dem netten Service und der schönen Ambiente vergebe ich 5 Sterne und kann den Laden nur weiterempfehlen

Sehr interessant. Tolle Atmosphäre.

Haben für eine Salat Tasche 9,50€ bezahlt. Preis leistung stimmt leider überhaupt nicht. Bei nachfrage wegen dem überteuerten Preis der Salat Tasche wurde uns leider nur unverschämt mitgeteilt das der Preis bei „Döna“ normal wäre. Die Produkte mit Dönerfleisch waren leider genau so kalt wie die Salat Tasche und ungenießbar.

Tolle Döner-Kreationen und sehr leckeren hausgemachten Ayran. Mal was anderes. Service und Ambiente ist wirklich gut. Klare Empfehlung.

Der Service versteht einen kaum und kennt die eigene Produktpalette nicht. Preis/Leistung stimmt überhaupt nicht, die Qualität fehlt an allen Ecken und Kanten. Immerhin ist der Laden sehr schön eingerichtet, Abzüge gibt es weil man im Durchzug sitzt und anschließend komplett nach Frittenbude riecht.

Wir waren dort aufgrund der super Bewertungen. Sah auch alles top aus. Wir hatten beide Mercimek. Kam, obwohl es nur aus einer Plastikbox im Topf aufgewärmt und mit Zitrone verfeinert wurde, erst nach einer halben Stunde. Schmeckte aber gut. Unsere bestellten Dönerteller dauerten dann nochmal eine Dreiviertestunde. Mmm. Zwischendrin meinte man den Fleischschneider nicht in der Küche, sondern direkt bei den Spießen schleifen zu müssen. 1. Hygiene? Beim schleifen fliege Metallspäne mal gerne durchvdie Gegend, 2. Sound für die Gäste sehr unangenehm. Naja das Fleisch auf meinem Teller war dann auch leider kalt. Nicht so toll bei dem Preis. Alles war sehr schön angerichtet, aber halt leider kalt. Auf meinen Hinweis an die Bedienung -die wirklichbsehr freundlich war, aber auchalles nachfragen musste -, hieß es nur:"Ach das tut mir leid." ENDE. Kein Preiserlass, nix. Schade, ich glaube, es könnte wirklich gut sein. Aber wenn der Service, die Temperaturen, die Wartezeiten (länger als in einem Sternerestaurant für mehrere Gänge) und die Hygiene nicht stimmen, dann kann es nicht funktionieren. Es wurde immer wieder gewischt. Also an sich ist Hygiene da wohl schon wichtig.

zu teuer, Portionen für den Preis definitiv zu gering

Good food. A little over priced. No dogs allowed 😕

Wirklich sehr lecker. Gutes Hühnchen Fleisch. Viele gute Salate hlgabbes zur Auswahl. Leider ist die Soße oben und Salat auch. Nach ca 5min aufessen, war nur noch Fleisch und Brot übrig. Mein Tipp: Soße in das Brot! Salat verteilen. Bessere Aufteilung. Im Laden sieht es auch sehr Chick aus. Der Preis aber ist heftig!! 9€ für ein Döner. Wow. Naja. War sein Geld wert.

Bester Döner in essen! Immer sehr lecker! Preis/Leistung absolut top 👍🏼

Der Döna des Monats war sehr lecker 🤗

Sehr gemütlich, Service war super freundlich und meiner Meinung nach bis jetzt der beste Döner den ich gegessen habe!

Hier bekommt man einen sehr guten Döner oder Yufka. Beim Essen wird einem klar das die Zutaten frisch sind. Der Ort in dem der Dönerladen ist, hat das feeling von einem richtigen Restaurant. Zudem gibt es hier einen einwandfreien Service.

Dönerfleisch war extrem fettig, geschmacklos, die Pommes ebenso von fett durchtränkt und ohne ein einziges Salzkorn. Da gibt es auf der Rüttenscheider Straße bessere Alternativen

Hatte eine döner Tasche. Das Brot super knusprig und trotzdem fluffig, der Salat super frisch und lecker, das döner Fleisch super saftig und mega geschmackvoll. Die sauce hat es noch abgerundet. TATSÄCHLICH: in meinen 40 Jahren der die Geschmackvollste Dönertasche die ich jemals gegessen habe!!!

Der Laden wirbt ja ausdrücklich mit "Döna goes vegan". Schon zweimal hatte ich dann Feta über dem Essen. Unglaublich!

Mega Laden sehr gemütlich und zuvorkommende Bedienung!!!! Sehr kreative Döner 🥙 Auswahl. Schön das sich Gedanken gemacht wurde um sich von anderen Läden abzuheben. Es gibt verschiedene Dönertaschen. Habe mich für DinkelDönaChiliMili entschieden der absolut lecker war. Preisleistung absolut top kann man nicht anders sagen. Werde gerne beim nächsten Besuch in Essen wieder vorbei schauen.

Leider habe ich über 30 Minuten auf meinen Döner zum mitnehmen gewartet. Dieser wurde mir dann kalt gegeben. Das vegane Alternativprodukt war sehr zäh und nicht lecker. Der Döner an sich war geschmacklich unterdurchschnittlich und auch nicht dem Preis entsprechend. Außerdem wurde Salat ungewaschen direkt aus der Packung in die Ablage geschüttet.

Mittlerweile haben wir uns durch die Karte probiert und können sagen, dass uns alles hier wirklich gut schmeckt. Die Döner des Monats sind meistens Jahreszeiten-Abhängig und wirklich lecker. Die Zutaten sind super frisch. Auch der Service ist sehr aufmerksam und bringt das Essen schnell an den Tisch. Die Preise sind happig, aber meiner Meinung nach gerechtfertigt.

Ich war heute zum ersten Mal da und habe den Trüffeldöna probiert. Kann ich nur empfehlen, hat wirklich super geschmeckt. Alle waren sehr nett. Ich komme definitiv wieder.

Hatte nach dem Besuch Marge Problem.

0 Sterne für den Saftladen. Was denkt ihr euch bei euren Preisen eigentlich.

Sehr lecker und frisches Essen. Tolle vegetarisch und vegane Alternativen, große Auswahl an Soßen und Broten zu Döner. Immer wieder gut 👍

Bester Döner. Beste Linsensuppe. Bestes Brot. Hat 5 Sterne verdient.

Atmosphere: 5 Stars... because I ate at home. Service: 1 because my husband and I had to wait for the guy to finish making coffees, before calling his colleague to make the Döner. In that time another client had already made a comment about the meat looking more and more like charcoal. The taste wasn't balanced and the very dry and dark meat couldn't do much to save the whole experience.

45 Minuten warten auf ein Döner das ist für mich viel zu lang, vor allem es war nicht voll, und du siehst wie einige nach dir kamen, was zum Mitnehmen bestellt, und die sind weg mit ihre Bestellung und du wartest noch, einige Lieferservice kamen und was abgeholt und du wartest immer noch, das ist für mich No Go, da muss man was ändern, es ist nur ein Dönertasche, es heißt fast-food und nicht fast eine Stunde warten, sorry aber das war für mich toooo much.

Very nice. I would recommend it to anyone
