“We ordered XL and Berlin doner with beef meat. Taste of both was good. As name is XL, I expected more meat. However, it was less meat and more french fries. Less than Berlin doner. On the other hand, Berlin doner is good.”

“And if you would like a full-on meal as in a meal in a bowl with its lemonade, then your best choice is "Cravin Chicken". You have this dish and you will find yourself literally "craving". It contains a bed of rice, topped with chicken, sliced tomatoes, onions, kennel corn, purple cabbage and avocado.”

“The beef doner was a bit oily, and no bread was served with the plate. The taste was quite different from what I’m used to. However, if you just want to try it for the experience, it’s acceptable.”

Ask fresh. If the counter is quiet or the food looks held, ask whether the meat and fries are freshly prepared; cold doner is a recurring complaint.
Visit off-peak. Go outside peak food-court hours if you want a shorter wait and an easier table search.
Try hot sauce. Ask for the hot sauce with a platter if you like some heat; one customer found it punchy but manageable.
Check takeaway. For takeaway, check that drinks and the food are taped or sealed before leaving the counter.
Manage expectations. Choose it for a casual doner-style meal rather than expecting the flavour or preparation of Turkish doner.

Several reviews report doner or gyro meat arriving cold, including after a 30-minute wait.
A long-term customer reported dry meat and refried, unsalted fries on a normally reliable visit.
The lower-ground food court can become crowded, and one falafel order involved a wait.
Customers familiar with Turkish or German doner may find the flavour and preparation unlike what they expect.
One takeaway order arrived without sealed drinks, causing soft drinks to spill while the customer walked.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
Doner & Gyros is a quick-service option in the lower-ground food court at Mall of the Emirates in Al Barsha. You can order doner and gyro wraps, platters, falafel, or churros; the Spicy Chicken Doner Wrap and falafel receive some of the clearest praise. The sauces are another recurring bright spot.
Food quality is uneven. One customer found the spicy chicken wrap fresh and perfectly seasoned, while another praised falafel as crunchy with tasty bread and accompaniments. On other visits, reviewers describe doner or gyro meat as cold, dry, oily, or stale, and one long-term customer specifically complained about refried, unsalted fries.
If freshness matters, check what is coming off the line before ordering. This is a mall food-court setting, so peak hours can mean crowded seating and a wait; one diner reported a 30-minute delay before receiving cold food. The remote ring used for order collection is a helpful touch when you do find a table.
Ask for the hot sauce if you like a moderate kick, and check that takeaway drinks are sealed before walking away. Customers familiar with Turkish doner should also temper expectations: several found the flavour or preparation different from the traditional version.
