Seth's review of Byblos just got me thinking: is there any restaurant in the Phoenix area that serves authentic Doner Kebab? I don't mean fancy-shmancy grilled meats of reasonable quality....I mean the greasy, gristly goodness that is doner kebab. I have fond memories of downing a doner or two after a long night at the pub while living in London, and haven't had any good doner in years.
Anyone seen it on a menu here?
Med Fresh Grill -- Downtown Tempe
Efes Turkish Restaurant -- southern Tempe
Haven't been to Med Fresh for a while; recent reviews mixed. Went to Efes two months ago and was pleased.

I LOVE doner kabobs- I would kill for one right now!
Med Fresh -- good food, spotty confused service, which is a drag for a counter-service place -- but the food is worth it.
Oh Gosh!!! Arriving late to this party. I tend to gorge on the craving of the moment when I return to the UK.... sometimes it is Indian curry, sometimes chips and curry sauce, this time around it was doner kebabs.
I agree with the original poster... not the cardboard tastes of pita jungle.... I want the lamb to be dripping grease all the way to my elbow when I eat this and the chilli sauce to sting my eyes. Are these places still open?
I'm not familiar, but, the thought of greasy lamb has me salivating. I prepared some locally raised lamb shanks for the holidays, last year, and they turned out great. It was just a simple rosemary dominant herb prep in a slow cooker with red wine - really easy. The marrow was incredible.
I believe I used the following recipe as a template:

Med Fresh is still open. Efes closed several years ago.
Wow im jumping into this super late too. Ill have to try this place out. I too miss that late night munchies after drinking in england. I remember in London and kn Bath too.... Best Kebab...the doner mix or shish mix. Ugh cant wait to have that taste again. Just the smell and seeing the grease run down the lamb and the smell of charcoal grilled vegtables. Hope this MED FRESH is close to it.
