Our Story

From Istanbul, With Love

A family tradition, served fresh in the East Village.

Founded 2024

The Doner, Reimagined for NYC

Baba Doner brings the bold, smoky flavors of Turkish street food to the heart of NYC. Specializing in flame-grilled doner kebabs, this fast-casual takeout spot serves juicy, marinated meats shaved fresh from the rotisserie and tucked into warm lavash wraps, rice bowls, fresh salads, and delicious desserts.

The menu is simple, flavorful, and fast — perfect for lunch on the go or a late-night bite. With our open kitchen and the aroma of sizzling meat, Baba Doner delivers a slice of Istanbul's street food culture — no passport required.

Located in the East Village at 147 Avenue A. Open daily 11 AM – 11 PM, with late nights every weekend.
