The Best Kebab & Döner Shops in the United States
5 of the 100 kebab shops in The World’s 100 Best Kebab & Döner Shops 2026 are in the United States. The highest placed is Berliner Döner House in North Charleston, at number 41 in the world. Amo Sami's Shawarma in Sterling Heights (number 48) and Tuhama's in Dearborn (number 79) follow.
Shawarma and wraps
Four shops serve wraps or sandwiches. Berliner Döner House runs a food truck in North Charleston, South Carolina, with döner wraps and pita plates, while Tuhama's in Dearborn serves shawarma, falafel and sujuk on French bread. Amo Sami's Shawarma makes Lebanese-style sandwiches in a BP gas station kitchen in Sterling Heights, and its pita is grilled and crisp, but the sandwiches are greasy. Kimo Shawarma, a casual counter in Anaheim's Little Arabia, wraps chicken and beef with garlic sauce and fries.
Charcoal grill takeout
Kabob Grill N Go in Phoenix cooks charcoal-grilled Middle Eastern kebabs, served mostly as takeout from a small counter on 16th Street. The chicken thigh is offered, the skewers are tender, and the rice and sauces are fluffy. An owner greets customers personally.
