Related terms: gyro stand
A place without restaurant service where döners or gyros can be ordered for take-out or delivery.
A döner stand or gyro stand is a place without restaurant-style table service, where dishes made from sliced meat roasted on a spit (and usually served on flatbread) can be ordered for take-out or delivery. The food served at these stands is normally associated with Turkish or Greek cooking.
The specialty is sliced spit-roasted meat served for take-out or delivery. Flatbread is usual rather than mandatory.
Restaurant-style table service is excluded. The Turkish or Greek association describes the usual cooking tradition without making the stand's location a condition.
