Ottoman Kitchen - Chantilly

The food is great, but I had to take off a star for one reason: please, for the love of all that's good, get rid of the animated menu board or at least slow it down. Ordering takes forever because it moves too quickly, and the physical menu doesn’t include half the items that are on the board.

This charming little spot is conveniently located right next to the Dulles Expo Center. The Doner Kebab here is a Turkish take on the Greek Gyros and Middle Eastern Shawarma. I think it’s one of the more authentic options in the area, and it comes with fries too!

I've been searching for an authentic lamb döner, made from fresh lamb cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The seasoned lamb is arranged in the shape of an inverted cone and slowly rotates next to a vertical heat source. As it cooks, the chef expertly slices thin shavings from the outer layer of the meat. This vertical rotisserie method was invented in the 19th-century Ottoman Empire and has influenced similar dishes like Arab shawarma and Greek gyros.

I?ve been at this restaurant 2 years ago and let me tell you that their grilled chicken still tastes the same. It?s juicy, tender and well cooked. I love how it?s served with so many vegetables. I also ordered chicken Doner which uses same chicken as grilled chicken but it?s chopped up and mixed in a sauce with bread which makes it so flavorful. I highly recommend trying this restaurant because the price point, the food, the service and the promptness is all worth each penny.

Today we had our dinner with a friend. Open buffet. Enjoyed unlimited food with whatever favorite Turkish Kebabs or homemade like vegetable meat mixed foods. We preferred lentil soup, which were really delicious i did not have long time and vegetables with meat balls. And at the final had Baklavah, king of sweets, was over average. Seems during Fasting month they will continue open buffet at dinner. Thanks
