About this spot
Hey Döner in Kadıköy serves kebab the way Turkey intended — not the late-night döner you know, but proper grilled meat with perfect char, served with lavash bread and grilled peppers. This is kebab's homeland.
💡 Tips before you go
- Adana kebab (spicy minced meat) and Urfa kebab (mild) are the essential pair
- Bread is sacred in Turkey — never throw it away or put it on the ground
- Ayran (salted yogurt drink) is the traditional kebab pairing, not cola
