We have the same food here in Turkey too! It's called doner (americans know it as shwarma i guess)
It is mostly served in thin breads with sesame, filled with sliced onions and coriander.

It's the biggest consumed fast food in Turkey and possibly also in Germany (because the Turkish immigrants carried it to germany in 1970s)

You won't believe it but Döner as we know it today was first served in a german restaurant buy a turkish guy who couldn't sell his food to the people in Berlin. He realized people liked to eat while walking so he put the meat and everything into a turkish pita and people loved it. And in 2009 Doner was promoted as typical german food in asian countries

And yes it's by far the most popular fast food in germany... and I really want one right now

That's why it is called Pita Shwarma...

I never understood the word "Pita" on the thing.
