[Review] German Doner Kebab

Doner Kebabs are popular in UK, they entered UK in the 1940s by the Turkish and now there are Greek versions as well as Bengali versions.

German Doner Kebab is a late comer from Berlin.

Although their kebabs were delicious, it has not replaced my favourite Shatkora kebab which is cooked with citrus near my Uni.
Ironically, there is now a branch of GDK a few doors away from it.

On the menu, there were two types of wraps: the Doner Durum wrap and the The original German Doner Wrap.
The German one looks like a stuffed quarter shaped pita bread while the durum looked like the wraps we normally see.

The original German Doner Wrap:

The lady at the counter said the durum wrap would taste better out of the two so I got the durum wrap.

Once you've ordered, you can watch them make your wrap.




I was pleased on my first bite because it wasn't overwhelmed by sauces and the meats were wafer thin like ham.
They have a special gadget that shaves the doner meat to even thin slices.
The taste of the meat was really good which is why the strong sauces are not really needed to overwhelm it and the cabbage complimented it nicely.



They also have a doner spring roll which I regretted not trying.
I would expect it to taste good especially when their doner meat is good.


According to the menu, they use lean and quality meats for the doner which I definitely agree with.
Will definitely be back to try the spring roll.
