A day
Mehmet builds the doner spit by hand from lamb leg and shoulder, minced and sliced, with onion and his Adana spices, and it goes in the cold room to set.
The charcoal is lit under the hood; the stone oven heats for the bread; the salad is cut; the chilli sauce is made fresh.
Shish and kofte on the coals, doner carved to order, two drivers out, three on Friday and Saturday.
Same prices, a free bottle of water in every bag, two staff on until the door locks at one, or three at the weekend.
Pitta, wrap, lahmacun or a box; doner, shish, kofte or falafel; two sauces and chips. The builder gives the price before you pick up the phone, and it is the same at 2am as at 4pm.
