Thanks for any other informative site. The place else may I get that kind of information written in such a perfect way? I have a project that I’m just now working on, and I have been on the glance out for such information.

Well I ate here twice. The meat is disgusting. It’s that mass produced extruded meat produce commonly known as “gyro”. They don’t make it in house like the menu claims.

The falafels are the strangest falafels I’ve ever tasted or seen. They added way too much flour as a binder and filler. It was mealy, heavy and salty.

They’re not really cooking anything here. They buy stuff and reheat it or fry it.

Oh dear, dear, dear…………I just tried Spitz tonight after wanting to go for many months. Big mistake. I talked my husband who is from Turkey into going with me…….bigger mistake. The main problem was that EVERYTHING was so over-salted that it was almost inedible. My husband, who knows about doner, had the classic doner plate and it was so salty that he could only eat a few bites. I had the chicken doner sandwich, which was better, but also salty. I really wanted to eat my sweet potato fries, but same problem with them too. Ditto the hummous and the bread sticks. I don’t know if this was just a fluke, or if this is status quo for this restaurant, but I don’t think we’ll be going back. I was hoping for so much more.
For those of you who want really authentic Turkish doner, there IS a downtown L.A. restaurant off of 7th street called St. Vincent Deli which has the best doner anywhere outside of Istanbul. It’s actually in the alley behind the St. Vincent’s Jewelry Mart. All homemade, huge portions, just perfectly delicious. Try that one, much better choice.

I just tried Spitz today after finding out about it on citysearch. I had the classic wrap on lavash bread. It was extremely tasty. I especially like how the ingredients are sliced thing. All this makes for an extremely tasty sandwich. I will definitely be going back. Next time I am going to try the chicken on foccacia bread.

hey all. I’ve heard of spitz from about half a year and am making my way toward eagle rock today to try it out.

i have very (very) fond memories of doner in berlin: stumbling out of clubs, sweaty and hungry, at 4.30 in the morning and thinking, ‘wonder what time that doner place opens?’ doner is a staple food in berlin, and there were so many great places in my neighborhood (of kreuzberg) that there was a distinct culinary absence for me when i returned to southern california. sigh.

anywho. today i travel from oc to modesto and plan to roll through eagle rock (my ole stompin’ grounds) to get a taste of doner and to be reminded of my second home. cheers all.

(ps. thanks for the lavash bread option alexm, i’ll definately go with that. who ever heard of a doner kebap in foccaccia?)

Turkey boy can call it what he wants, but, as an ignorant American, I totally enjoyed the food and staff at Spitz. Keep up the good work.

I am from Turkey, where kebabs were created, I’ve tried this thing that these boys are making and it is just not kebab. Here in America where nobody knows the real thing,it is as would be expected, to be called great. Spanish style or no Spanish style It is a smelly lamb greasy kebab. Which is what it is not supposed to be.

I like the bread they use, but i recently tried their lavash bread wrap, which uses the same ingredients (they even panini grill it after they wrap it in foil), and I fell in love. If you’re not too into the regular bread, definitely be sure to give the wrap a try.
