What’s On the Street

It’s Good

Das ist Gut is a street food newbie on the map of the city of Kyiv. The idea to cook Turkish doners with Ukrainian ingredients and German quality was brought from Berlin, where doner kebab spots can be found on every street corner. Das is Gut’s menu seems simple at a glance and consists of three items only: #1, #2 and # 3 doners.

While the traditional doner kebab is made of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, Ukrainian entrepreneurs decided to serve their doners with grilled chicken slices rolled up in turmeric-spiced lavash. And the original sauce recipes are nothing but zesty.

#1 – a classy doner relished with fresh vegetables and yoghurt dressing

#2 – at its heart, an extraordinary mix of caramelised onion and apple

#3 – the “November” doner – was added after an experiment with honey-mustard

In your hand in eight minutes or less, drop in any day of the week and give what founders are hoping will become known as “healthy street food”. To this aim, fresh veg is bought every morning and chickens are brought in from an ecofarm. Since opening in July this year, they’ve already served up more than 4 195 doners, and counting!
