Anyone who has visited Konya Lezzet Döner knows the warning: “Careful, our peppers are very, very hot!” The phrase has been associated with us in Konya for years, and the peppers we serve with our doner are its real stars.
More than a warning
Our slogan grew out of a friendly warning repeated at our tables for years. For those who love heat, the pepper beside the doner has become a must; for those who don’t, it is a small challenge.

Specially sourced peppers
We don’t pick our peppers at random — we specially source ones whose heat suits our doner, so that we can offer the same sharp taste at our branches.
Why it goes so well with doner
Our chicken doner is prepared in our own facility with our special marinade. It is 100% chicken meat and we never use frozen products. Next to a soft, juicy doner, the sharpness of the pepper strikes a new balance with every bite — the heat doesn’t hide the flavor, it brings it forward.
A few tips for first-timers
- Try a small piece of the pepper first; increase the amount once you know its heat.
- Keep a cold ayran nearby — one of the best-known ways to balance the heat.
- You can also enjoy the pepper on its own instead of adding it to the doner.
