What in the heck is a Döner Kebab you ask?  Read up on it at wikipedia, but our own experience was that in Germany last fall, these were damn good sandwiches.  When we came back to Portland, we couldn't find them.

Walking down the street in downtown Portland after work on Friday we came across a new restaurant called Döner Kebab that just opened this week.

So on Saturday we came back and had dinner.

It's a big sandwich.  Man is it good though.  Compare with the ones we had in Germany.

Of course, this is Portland, and the bread is baked daily here, the fries are fresh and homemade as well.  It looks like a family run place.  The guy at the register said his older brother worked for free in Germany for 6 months to learn how to make them.  They have to get the spices shipped over here from overseas.  The menu has alot more German items on it so we'll be back.

Plus we love the nice touches like his mom who was working the ovens came over and gave us a slice of apple-something-or-other straight from the oven.

Check it out if you can get one near you.

Later

Update:

At the time, I didn't know the address and when I looked it up in Google maps, the place was so new it wasn't listed (and still isn't).  Anyway, it's at 517 SW 4th (map), right down the street from the Greek Cusina.
