Doner and shawarma are the same thing, it’s just that doner is the turkish name, shawarma is the arabic name. There’s also gyros, which is the Greek name for the same thing.
Edit: should also mention that basically every region in eastern Europe, the caucuses and the middle east has their own regional sauces, types of meat, and use different veggies. Gyros, shawarma and doner are fundamentally the same thing, but there is a lot of variety in which meat, bread, sauces and veggies are offered.
The fundamental concept of a mixture of different meats and spices cooked on a rotating skewer in an oven, served by scraping off the surface, served with veggies and a yogurt based sauce on pita bread, are all consistent across every country’s version of the dish. The individual details vary based on local taates and available ingredients.

So I get what you mean but that just sounds like “it’s the same thing they just changed everything about it” lmao
