How many portions do you need for a group?

Sharing platters are written in portion multiples: 1.5 portions suits about two people, 2.5 about three, 3.5 about four or five. Adding lahmacun and rice to the platter balances the table.

Do you need to book for a large group?

For groups over six, calling ahead helps, because joining tables takes time. At Doyum 1980 bookings and delivery orders use the same number.

What if someone avoids heat or does not eat meat?

Adding one mild option (Urfa kebab) and one meat-free option (cheese pide, seasonal salad, soup) next to the mixed platter is enough. The digital menu marks spicy and vegetarian items and they can be filtered.

Eating with a large group

At a big table the real question is not the food but the timing and the portions. Get those two right and the table runs itself.

The portion maths

With a crowd, a separate plate for everyone arrives late and costs more. That is why sharing platters are written in portion multiples: 1.5 portions suits two people, 2.5 suits three, 3.5 suits four or five.

A practical measure: instead of ordering an extra portion per head, add lahmacun and rice to the platter. It balances the table and lowers the bill.

The order to order in

For the table to flow, sequence matters:

Soup and starters first — the table is not empty while the grill heats.
Then lahmacun — out in a minute, it ends the sense of waiting.
The main last — the platter to the middle, arriving hot.
Dessert ordered separately; künefe is the one thing that has to arrive hot, so do not order it in advance.

Booking

If there are more than six of you, calling helps: joining tables takes time. For Doyum 1980 the number 0286 217 48 10 is used for both bookings and delivery orders.

A table that suits everyone

At a big table there is always someone who avoids heat and someone who does not eat meat. Adding one cheese pide and one seasonal salad to the mixed platter covers everyone without leaving anyone hungry. Spicy items are marked on the menu and can be filtered out.
