The founders

Two Palatines.
One idea.

„We wanted the döner that didn't exist back home. So we're making it ourselves.“

01How it all started

Marc and Lukas both come from Fußgönheim. They've been eating döner together since they were little. When life took them from the lovely Palatinate to exciting Berlin, one question hit them fast: why is döner so much better here than back home?

Bread golden outside, soft inside. Crispy chicken. Juicy grilled veg. And sauces you won't forget.

So they developed a clear idea of what a great döner has to be: bread golden outside and soft inside, sauces spread generously, crispy premium chicken and juicy grilled veg on top, a little melting soft cheese, salad, cucumber, carrot, red onion, a squeeze of lemon and sumac to round it off. Sounds like a flavour explosion? Taste it yourself!

From 13 October 2026, as planned, our food trailer hits the road — across the Rhine-Neckar region and the Palatinate. Locations, events, catering: we stay flexible and go where you want us.

We believe good food needs no compromises. The best cut of chicken, without additives, phosphates or flavour enhancers. Just chicken the way it should be.
