Ton Bul Grill- und Kebap-Haus

One of the best doner kebabs I've had in Frankfurt so far.

It has really deteriorated significantly. It's all about maximizing profits now, at the expense of quality.

When I visited Frankfurt, a friend highly recommended that I try kebabs, a popular German food. While many people associate Frankfurt with beer and sausages, kebabs are also a common sight and a popular delicacy. My friend's strong recommendation made me want to try one, so I went to a kebab shop. What first struck me was the way the meat was cut and its texture. Compared to the kebabs I've seen in Japan, the thinness and slicing method of the meat seemed slightly different. It appeared that a large block of meat was rotated while grilling, and the cooked surface was thinly shaved off with a special tool. It almost looked like it was being sliced ​​by machine, giving it a different impression than the kebabs I usually eat in Japan. And when I actually tasted it, I was surprised by how tender the meat was. Because it was thinly sliced, it was easy to eat, and I could really appreciate the flavor of the meat. The grilled meat had a wonderful aroma, and the more I ate, the more I enjoyed its deliciousness. Kebab is a dish with roots in Turkey and the Middle East, but in Germany, it has become widely popular along with the immigrant culture and is a familiar everyday fast food. In particular, doner kebab, which consists of meat and vegetables in bread and enjoyed with sauce, is a staple found on German street corners. I think the fact that such dishes are deeply rooted in local food culture is one of the fascinating aspects of Europe. People from various countries and regions gather, and their respective food cultures merge, giving rise to new culinary styles. Even just walking around a city and eating allows you to feel the history and flow of people of that country. I might not have had the opportunity to eat this kebab if my friend hadn't recommended it. When sightseeing alone, you tend to focus on famous tourist spots and restaurants listed in guidebooks, but information from a friend who knows the local area well has a different kind of value. You can make new discoveries by actually going there and experiencing things with your own taste buds. These small experiences add up to the joy of traveling. When you visit Frankfurt, I highly recommend trying kebabs, in addition to beer and sausages. Paying attention to the differences between kebabs in Frankfurt and those in Japan, especially the way the meat is cut and its tenderness, will make the experience even more enjoyable. This kebab experience started with a friend's recommendation, and I was truly impressed by its deliciousness. I want to cherish these culinary encounters that arise from connections with people while traveling. It was a delicious and enjoyable food experience that allowed me to discover a new charm of Frankfurt.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the food. To my taste, the doner kebab tasted almost exclusively of lemon, which completely overshadowed the other ingredients and the typical doner flavor. Personally, I wasn't at all impressed with the taste. Compared to my previous doner experiences, this was one of the most disappointing I've ever had. Of course, tastes vary, and other customers may have a different experience. However, it wasn't a positive one for me, and I wouldn't order it again.

The food was excellent, and everything was served really quickly!

The meat was very tasteless. We ordered döner kebab on a plate and paid so much money for it, but it wasn't worth it.

Totally disappointed!!!!! Simply disgusting! There were mice under the oven where the dough for the doner bread is!!! A disaster! And when I said to the employee, "Look, look, mouse, brother!" he said it was normal 😳 ?????

3 Hours Drive for a Huge Disappointment The three of us traveled for about 3 hours and 15 minutes to eat one of the visually stunning steak doner kebabs from one of the three skewers. The place was packed. We didn't have to wait long, though; the six people ahead of us, including ourselves, were served quickly. We ordered two doner kebabs with extra meat and one doner kebab with fries. Up close, the skewers were even bigger, almost like in the documentaries or videos from Istanbul, where the cook uses his "sword" to slice delicious, juicy pieces of meat from the colossal doner kebab... and in this place, there were three of these skewers! I couldn't wait to take a bite. The Meat Quality: An Absolute Disappointment For the first two or three bites, until I got to the meat, the bread was good, soft, and thin. When I got to the meat, I was taken aback. We had both ordered doner kebabs with extra meat. You could see the extra meat on my brother's plate; the difference to mine was really significant. I was disappointed, but then there was my nephew's plate, and he didn't want to eat it because he didn't like the meat. So, no big deal, no need to get upset. Now I really wanted to try the meat. I took a bold bite… hmmm, not at all what I expected. The meat was like rubber. I bit into it a second time and chewed on a tendon. Third bite, fourth bite – another tendon, which finally landed inedible on the edge of our plate. The same thing happened with my brother's. I then looked at the meat in the bread and on the plate. We always order it without sauces because that's an insult to good, high-quality meat, and you can't taste the actual marinade that ultimately makes the meat such a wonderful dish. So, we got a good look. The meat wasn't juicy, but rubbery – like when you order a doner kebab to take home, can't finish it, and the next morning the meat is tough and rubbery. We were shocked; the same sorry mess was on our plates. Then it all made sense. I suspect that's why we couldn't taste the marinade, i.e., the meat itself. The minced meat portion of the doner kebab skewers on top was even juicier and tasted better – if you can call it that – compared to the eagerly anticipated steak doner meat we had driven all that way for. I was completely baffled. The problem: meat pre-cut. Why do they have to pre-cut meat on three such large skewers, like at a third-rate doner shop that isn't frequented often and where the cut meat has been sitting under the skewer for a while? Now we also understood why we hadn't had to wait in line for so long. I'm happy to wait up to 20 minutes for three giant kebabs, which should easily handle a large crowd. In short: We couldn't enjoy our meal at all. We felt so nauseous that we couldn't even finish half and left everything (except for my nephew's fries). I don't know if we were just incredibly unlucky at 8:30 pm or if we simply picked the worst time of day – but this was by far the worst doner kebab we've ever had. Every doner kebab your kids can't finish, and whose meat you taste the next morning, unfortunately has the same consistency and tastelessness as the one in this restaurant. We left feeling incredibly sad and disappointed. A truly sad end to what should have been a lovely trip to Frankfurt. Never again!
