doner

Vertical roast slices

Doner is meat—typically lamb, beef, or chicken—cooked on a vertical rotisserie and shaved off in thin slices.

The word comes from Turkish and appears in doner kebab, the dish that inspired Greek gyros and Middle Eastern shawarma.

In British English especially, a doner kebab is late-night street food, often eaten after drinking: We grabbed a doner on the way home from the pub.
