Doner is the most-loved Turkish fast food in Baku. Marinated meat (chicken, beef, or a mix) turns on a vertical spit, gets shaved thin, and is served in lavash, bread, or on a plate. Iskender doner is a distinct version with tomato sauce and melted butter. A good doner comes down to fresh meat, the marinade, and proper crisping on the spit. Unlike shawarma, doner leans more Turkish in style. Price: 5 to 14 AZN. Below are the best spots in Baku for doner and Turkish fast food.
