German opposition wants kebab price cap

What exactly are kebabs here? We have kebabs in Indian Mughlai cuisine as well but I don't know if they are same ones or not.
Strictly speaking the kebab is just the meat and it's similar to Greek gyros. In this case they are referring to the whole döner sandwich which includes pita bread and vegetables. It's a popular German fast food item with Turkish roots.
I saw these in a Canadian city once but they were called shawarmas.
Basically the same thing except shawarmas sometimes have french fries in them and that's something you will never see in a proper döner.
The shawarmas didn't have fries in them but I went to a gyro place ones and had a gyro with fries in it.
shawarmas sometimes have french fries
not typically, I still remember that Syrian lady that gave me puzzled looks for wanting fries as well as toum and tahini in my shawarma.
As far as I know Levantine/Arab Shawarma, Turkish Doner Kebab and Greek Gyro are similar in appearance and concept but still different in which meats and toppings are used and how they are prepared and served.
It's called "döner" in German.
Thanks
Kebabs are a traditional barbequed meat from the Middle East, the word originated in Akkadian.
Doner Kebab is a Turkish barbequed meat similar in style to Shawarma and Gyros and unlike traditional kebabs.
