İskender kebap is a Turkish dish that consists of sliced döner kebab meat topped with hot tomato sauce over pieces of pita bread, and generously slathered with melted special sheep's milk butter and yogurt.

Thus, the doner kebab is ready for service.Tomato sauce and melted butter are generally poured over the dish live at the table, for the customer's amusement.
