"I got the Bishek Beef. Thinly wrapped, toasted with sesame seeds, and contains cheese. It’s everything you want in a wrap. The cheese was a nice touch although untraditional. The wrap was toasted with a nice char and the sesame seeds were really welcome. Also, the wrap is very moist, a good layer of sauce coats the meat throughout and not a single bite is dry. Next time I maybe wouldn’t order it with tomatoes but that’s just my personal preference."

"Good food, but could be better. I went to Donerka with my friends last night, and we had a mixed experience. I ordered the beef Doner (Gyro) meal, which came with rice, fries, pickles, and warm bread. The beef was dry and not juicy at all, but the quality of the meat was good. My friends ordered the toasted wrap sandwich, and they said they loved it. We also got a nice dessert at the end which I enjoyed, but some of my friends found it too sweet after having couple bites. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was very clean. However, I think they could focus more on their recipes to make the meals yummier. The price was affordable, and I would recommend it to people who are looking for a casual and affordable place to eat. Here are some additional details about my experience: :: The beef Döner meal was dry and not juicy, but the quality of the meat was good. :: The toasted wrap sandwich was juicy and flavorful, and my friends loved it. :: The staff was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean. The price was affordable. I would give Donerka a 4-star rating. It's a decent place to eat, but it's not the best doner kebab I've ever had. I would recommend trying the toasted wrap sandwich if you're looking for a juicy and flavorful meal as the wraps have more sauce in it and you don’t get to taste the dryness of the meat. UPDATED: I visited Donerka recently and tried their Donerger, the made up name for Döner Burger and it was great - this time I found the meat more juicy and tender, so I changed my 4 star to 5 star review. I’m also attaching a picture of chicken Donerger."

"Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food. I really liked Bishkek and Almaty doners. Will definitely come back here to try more food options."

"Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant!!! I tried Kiyev Doner and doner is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!!! Everything we tasted melted in other mouths. The service we received was so amazing. The staff truly cares about your experience. Highly recommend!"
