I have eaten many, many Döner. Kotti’s Döner is one of the best - if not THE BEST - of all of them. Not only really juicy meat, excellent spices and delicious sauces, but also a crunchy, toasted pita bread, which you can tell, was baked today. Love it! Love it! Love it! You have not been to NYC, if you haven’t tasted Kotti’s Döner!

I was pleasantly surprised by the burst of flavors. Both the white and the red sauces are great and the toppings were all excellent and full of flavors without being too overwhelming. I had the chicken bowl with half rice/half salad, and it was really tasty! If you’re craving chicken over rice in nyc but want a healthier option, this is a great alternative. The only slight downside is that it’s not as filling as I had hoped / the portions are good but not huge, so just be prepared for that. It was still very sufficient and I’d definitely have it again when I come to the Essex market. Also the workers there were super friendly with excellent service! Highly recommend.

Walking through Delancey Market looking to order a saladI passed by Kotti. Seeing meat cooking on a vertical spit got me to stop and ask what kind of meat was cooking on it. It reminded me of the spit cooked lamb I enjoyed so much as a kid. The Lamb slowly cooked on a spit was juicy and delishious. I haven't seen meat cooked on a vertical spit in years! I wondered if A counter person pointed out samples & I sampled the chicken. When I popped it in my mouth i instantly surprised at how tasty it was. I was intrigued. When I saw a salad bowl offered on the menu I was sold. I couldn't decide between the salad bowl and the rice bowl. The counter person suggested ordering half salad & half rice bowl. "Could I do that " I asked. The wait person nodded his head, and said, "yes you can.". "Yes!" I'll take that. I ordered a half rice & half salad bowl. I had try the fries so I got an order. The food was da bomb. So tasty and the chicken was juicy mom)))The house dipping sauce is also da bomb. I thought I wouldny eat all of my salad/rice bowl. I was wrong. After a 10 minute break from eating I started back up eating again till I finished most of the bowl. It was a good eating. I will go back again in the near future. I do recommend this delishious little food stop. Kotti in Delancey Market is fishing up good food. You won't regret it. I didn't. Oh and I must add: The wait staff prepared my order perfectly and pretty quickly. Their great additude and couteousness were refreshing. Kotti is A Hidden Gem in Delancey Market.

This place is great! First of all, the staff is super kind and helpful, it was my first time stopping at this kiosk in the Essex Market and the cashier was great help in guiding me through my decision! I just wanted to try a little taste, so I got the Taco. $6 and some change, it was worth it to really taste the flavors. In any choice between taco to wrap to bowl all toppings are included! The flavors were vibrant and savory. I really recommend giving this place a try! I know I’ll come back for something more than a taco next time!

I recently tried the kebab from Kotti Berliner Kebab and it was a fantastic experience! The meat was perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. The veggies added a nice crunch, and the sauce brought everything together beautifully. The pita was warm. The staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Highly recommend to any kebab lover!

While the guy taking my order for a beef doner kebab was very personable and helpful, he did end up adding some of the toppings I said I didn't want. Not a big deal for me, since on a different day I would've just gotten it with everything. The 1st several bits of the kebab will be of salad, bread, and sauce. Which taste really good. There's a decent amount of meat in there. The beef is soft and passable. The flavor was okay. There's really no need to buy the bread sticks. 2 pieces of flat bread.

Had the wrap kebab with roasted tofu and substituted the feta cheese and white sauce with the vegan white sauce ! The wrap was flavourful and the tofu was perfectly marinated. Hope to see more vegan options in the future here !

It would be a more interesting vegetarian option if it included some protein, whether tofu or beyond meat. As is, it is a vegetable salad in a wrap. Not bad, but not transformational either.

As someone who lived in Berlin for many years, I can say it's not exactly a real doner as we know it in Kotti, Berlin...BUT it is the closest I have found so far in NYC. Delicious too. The chicken tasted more like pulled chicken rather than doner chicken and the guy took it off from an oven instead of cutting the doner meat. Other than that from bread to sauces, tasty!

Meat is bulky and dose not look like doner Sandwich. It’s a good Sandwich but not doner , if you want real doner then this is not the correct place, Also it super expensive.

one of the worst food experiences i've had while living here. i'm 90% sure i received the wrong item, but did not have time to dispute. the meat was well seasoned but tough to chew. i ordered the kebab cone and received a sandwich the size of my hand for $13...gone in 3 bites. probably worth half as much as i paid. never coming back!
