The sauces were hearty and flavorful. The generous portions were particularly good...that's what I imagine a good doner to be.

I'll describe both versions: Version 1: The boss is Gidi himself, the man who made this place famous and built it up with hard work. This man makes you a nearly perfect doner kebab. He waits until the spit has cooked the meat crisply and only then slices it, using the perfect amount of vegetables and sauces. This doner is exactly to my taste and a 10/10 for me. Version 2: The boss isn't there, and one of his employees will make your doner kebab. He slices the meat way too early; it's not crispy, so it sits on the bottom, and the fat drips onto the meat the whole time. The vegetables are okay, no complaints, then they use way too much sauce, and finally, they add more sauce to the finished doner. While making the kebab, the employee will tell you how well he makes kebabs. Normally, you look forward to the last part of the kebab, but all that crispy meat with the juice at the end turns into slimy, juiced meat with this kebab. This kebab is a 3/10 at best. I've been a satisfied customer at Gidi's for years and have eaten both versions of the kebab quite often. Unfortunately, I'm sick of version 2, and I don't think this kebab reflects the true quality of the shop.
