Wan Chai is part of the Wan Chai District on Hong Kong Island. The island is steep, with many streets climbing the hillside; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links Central with the Mid-Levels and the Peak Tram runs up to The Peak. Offices, malls and old neighbourhood shops sit side by side, restaurants are packed at the office lunch hour (roughly 13:00–14:00), and with parking scarce the MTR, tram or bus is usually easier than driving. Wan Chai mixes the office towers around the Convention and Exhibition Centre with old markets and tenement buildings, and nearby restaurants get busy during big trade fairs.

We were quite disappointed with both the service and the food. The food was rather bland, even with the provided mixed sauce. The barbecued meat was tough and inadequately cooked and seasoned. Even the kebab doner roll bread was dry and hard. We do not plan to eat there again.

You absolutely have to try the Chicken Doner Rice—that combines tender chicken with perfectly cooked rice, making for a satisfying meal. Pair it with the creamy Hummus; its smooth texture and rich taste are perfect for dipping. And don't miss out on the Baklava for dessert; this sweet pastry, filled with nuts and drizzled with honey, is the perfect way to end your meal on a high note!

Perfect little cheeky spot to grab some delicious doner meat and Turkish grub pre-or-post Wanchai. The Mezze platter is great for sharing and has an interesting array of dips (you will need to order more bread, as 3 pieces never seems enough). The doner salads are great for a healthy option and the meat is nicely charred and not greasy. The mixed meat grill is always a great option for small groups to sample all the chargrilled goodness!

In Wan Chai, when I'm in the mood for a simple meal, I often go to a local kebab shop and have a beer. However, this time, I ended up at a nearby Turkish restaurant, which was quite empty when I arrived at around 9 pm, with only one other table of customers. I ordered the Beef Kebab, Turkish Fried Spring Roll, Turkish Salad, and a Turkish-style Lemonade. Before the food arrived, they had already provided us with a selection of sauces, including a tomato-based one and a spicy one, which I thought was a nice touch. When the dishes were served, I found the Turkish Salad to be a bit underwhelming in terms of flavor, so I added some salt to it. The Beef Kebab on the other hand, was quite enjoyable, with the meat cooked well and the various accompaniments complementing the flavors nicely. The Turkish Fried Spring Roll was a pleasant surprise, with a delightful cheese filling that paired well with the other dishes. Overall, while the meal wasn't bad by any means, I still prefer the kebab shop next door, which I find more satisfying and better suited to my tastes.

Nice place to eat Turkish dishes, the taste is good, the meat quality is great and the flavors are authentic, the green mint sauce is the best of them and the mix plate gives you a taste of everything, size is big enough for 1 person or 2 Less hungry just willing to try and price is on point. The waiter is ok just, can have a bit better attitude but no big deal. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for authentic flavors.
