27 Turkish Kebab is a teeny tiny little place along Ashley Road so it might not be easy to get a table if there's more than four of you. I don't know if they accept reservations (probably not, with a place this tiny), but it wouldn't hurt to try. I usually get my doner fix from Istanbul Express but a friend took me to this joint over the weekend and I loved it!It was tough trying to choose between ordering a roll or plated rice meal, but eventually the craving for (slightly) oily but oh so fragr
It was tough trying to choose between ordering a roll or plated rice meal, but eventually the craving for (slightly) oily but oh so fragrant and flavorsome pilaf rice prevailed. We ordered a plate of mixed doner (chicken and beef) and a plate of lamb kofte.
Although this place doesn't serve alcohol, they do allow you to buy and bring bottles of your own drink from the corner 7-11 (or wherever else you might prefer to buy your alcohol from). So after ordering our rice meals, I scooted over to 7-11 to get a couple of drinks.
As a side plug, Desperados beer is finally available in Hong Kong. This is tequila flavoured beer; and hands down, the freshest, most refreshing bottled beer I've ever had.
A few minutes after I got back from 7-11, our rice plates arrived. The scent alone was delightful. Savory, smokey without being pungent.Thinly sliced, crispy-crunchy on one side, soft and tender on the other - the doner was perfect. The lamb kofte was tender yet cooked-through; and there was no gamey lamb after taste or lingering scent. Add in a little mint sauce mixed with chili garlic sauce and things can't get any better than this.
Dinner was absolutely wonderful and I am definitely coming back for more.
