Falafel/ Doner Kebabs/ Pita with Falafel

Doner Kebabs is a popular turkish street food. However, if you visit Germany / Austria or Scandinavia you may misunderstand it to be a local european delight. It is so hugely popular there that most peope survive on it for days. The Doner shops ofcourse have the Schwarma’s for meat lovers but most folks often use falafels for stuffing the vegetarian delights.

Despite this, these doner kebabs are different from the regulr pita sandwiches for two reasons, the stuffings used are slightly different like pickled cucumbers, fresh tomatoes not sliced but kept as wedges but most interestingly..the Kebab Sauce and Tabasco added to it. It is also accompanied with the french fries..

Also, it is not served with the regular pita sized pitas, but more often stuffed in a large wrap sized pita breads.
