What is it?
A döner box packs sliced rotisserie döner meat over fries or rice, finished with salad and garlic or chilli sauce in one takeaway container. Berlin's Turkish immigrant community popularised döner in bread in the 1970s, and the box version followed.
It is a late-night staple in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK, bought after a night out on cold 5°C winter streets. In the Netherlands it is known as a kapsalon when topped with melted cheese.
The meat is crisp at the edges and juicy inside, the sauces creamy and sharp. Fries underneath make it very filling.

How we tested
Reference by Y.W. Fung at 82kg with an Apple Watch Ultra. The reference route is a 5.3-mile loop at 3.1 mph walking and 6 mph running; food burn minutes are calculated from calories at those rates, not individually walked off for every food. The reference test date is 2026-05-20. Check the food's listed source and serving.
In Istanbul, where summers are a mild, breezy 25°C or so, a longer walk in the heat can feel harder than the reference loop shown here.
