Definitely Switzerland’s No. 1⃣, which is why we traveled from Zurich more than 3 times in 2024 and 2025! The flavors are unlike anything else in Switzerland and truly reflect authentic Turkish cuisine. We were positively surprised by how delicious it was. I highly recommend the place for its great variety, be sure to try the İskender Kebab, and its friendly staff. This spot is a bit above the typical kebab place (except, of course, Ayverdis ), though there’s still room for improvement. Be prepared for the high prices, which is somehow the new standard. Edit: New and very strong competitor identified 'Babas Döner' , check out my review

Not just one of the best döner but also a lot of thought put into every aspect from cutting the meat and homemade bread to the handling and seating of the guests.

Excellent Döner with real and tasty pieces of meat. Fresh bread was delicious. A bit pricey but worth it for the quality!

by far one of the best kebab in Basel! the meat is excuisite! the staff is always very friendly and if you have special wishes, you can just ask. they look for a solution. so vegetarian or ketogenic alternatives are possible, they make everything possible with a smile and great food!

Delicious. Great meat and great flavours. Various kebabs and plates to eat in or take away. There were lots of guests but they found us a table and we had no wait for the food. A very popular and well run establishment in the heart of Gundeli!

Really unique and delicious doner on warm lightly toasted bread. Very simple but done well. I can see why people say it’s one of the best in Switzerland. I do wish I could have gotten chilli sauce (but I don’t think they allow it on the sandwich since I asked and got chilli flakes.) The cocktail sauce I didn’t get but the yogurt one was very good. The salad reminded me of a burger a bit, and I liked it! I wish I could have gotten the gherkin but they didn’t include it in the sandwich. You might need to ask for that specifically or pay extra? They have so many sizes to choose from and actually weigh the meat so I like how precise that is. We got the smallest (100g) for CHF 13.
