Looking on their menu they have “Doener gross” and “Doener big” - both are with salad and sauce - so is the “gross” German size big and the other one “American” size big ?
Pretty much. „Döner groß“ is pretty much universal a quarter of a large flatbread stuffed with plenty of meat. You‘ll find that basically any Döner shop as the standard. There is usually no „regular“ size; girls and kids go for the „Döner klein“. The „Döner Big“ uses a slightly smaller flatbread, but half of it and is stuffed with a ginormous amount of meat. It could be considered „US size“, but I guess that they use the term „big“ because „groß“ was taken, as was „Spezial“, so its the next best thing to describe the next larger size. I do like Döner, and the meat in particular, but for me with the amount of meat stuffed in the bread the ratio is off a bit in that one.
