“You need to brew it right from a bottom since there are many layers to a dish,” instructs Zubair Ah over a phone call, confirming if we’ve perceived a sequence of Kapsalon. The lesser-known plate is one of a signatures during his year-old Bengaluru joint, Zu’s Doner Kebaps, that launches in Mumbai today. Located in Lokhandwala, a takeaway and smoothness corner (3km radius) offers döner kebaps — a Turkish kebab done regulating beef grilled on a straight rotisserie — in sandwiches, pita pockets and salads, and Kapsalon.

When we puncture in with a forks, French fries, onion crescents and pieces of thinly-sliced döner duck sight from next a covering of lettuce — all laced with melted cheese and a miscellany of sauces. That’s Kapsalon (Rs 150), and trust it or not, it’s Dutch.

In fact, a name means ‘hairdressing salon’ in Dutch, alluding to Nathaniël Gomes, a Cape Verdian beautician in Rotterdam, who is one of a inventors of a dish. In a early 2000s, he collaborated with a beside shawarma store to brew all his favourite mixture in a singular dish. “Though introduced recently, it has widespread all over a world,” shares Zubair, who detected it during a outing to Amsterdam a few years ago, and later, in Hong Kong too. “I fell in adore with it. The strange recipe includes Indonesian sambal salsa though we equivocate that. Instead, we make a signature brew regulating 3 sauces,” he adds.

An blast of flavours greets us as a starchy-but-moist fries brew with crunchy greens and honeyed and sour salsas with a spirit of mayonnaise. But what elevates a plate is a further of döner chicken, cooking good with spices and grilled to perfection, giving a plate a feel of an Arabic poutine. We also try Veg Kapsalon (Rs 130) that replaces a beef with potato nuggets and some-more veggies. The nuggets measure for being grease-free and melt-in-your-mouth, though we cite a tasty version. Also, only for today, a Turkish quick food corner offers a doner kebab for R1 per person. You have to check in on Facebook to relief a offer (2 pm onwards).
