The story behind this fantastic European spot is as charming as the restaurant itself.

Neal E./Yelp Upon realizing there were very few places to enjoy the authentic German fast-food known as Döner, a couple bought a van and started selling these tasty kebab sandwiches around town. This business was widely successful, so the couple established a more permanent spot in Leesburg.
Upon visiting Döner Bistro, you’ll immediately notice two things: the colorful, whimsical decor and the tantalizing scent of spices and cooked meat.

As you look around, notice all the quirky details that make this spot such a gem: the chandelier, colorful decor, and all sorts of unique German paraphernalia.
You won’t be surprised to find that the food is authentic and delicious.

Doner Bistro The specialty here is the Döner Kebab (translation “turning meat”), which is actually a traditional Turkish dish. In Germany, the meat is served in flatbread with salad and a special sauce. Made-to-order without any preservatives, the meat at Döner Bistro is especially delicious. It’s all about the spices. Treat yourself to an order of fries and your drink of choice.
Another popular menu item is the schnitzel sandwich served on freshly baked pretzel bread.
Stephanie S./Yelp Don’t forget the side order of sauerkraut!
And, of course, what would this German dining experience be without a fine selection of beer?
