Typically, a late-night kebab makes an evening of regret even more regrettable. Fortunately German Doner Kebab has arrived with a relatively healthy alternative to city centre fast food. The kebab shop opened back in July as their second UK location and currently the only one of five outside London. The chain started in Berlin back during the late 1980's and has since expanded all over the world.
All of the meats are sourced from an exclusive supplier in Germany. The flatbread is German doner style and made fresh every day. The chain also used a proprietary suite of three sauces the created a balanced flavour profile. Their big claim to fame is that the standard kebab is 344 calories with 1.5 grams of fat.
The menu consists of doner kebab, durum doner (wraps), a kebab box with fries, lahmacun, meal deals, and a number of sides. It's very simple, but there are many combinations based on meats and ingredients/sauces that can be added to the meal. For vegetarians, they also offer a delicious veggie doner. I ordered that type of doner during a late night visit the eatery. German Doner Kebab stays open until 11PM every night of the week. The veggie doner starts with the giant wrap, stuffed with a mix of fresh chopped veggies and grilled veggies. I lost count, but it at least included lettuce, onions, purple cabbage, courgettes, peppers, fried potato flakes, and feta cheese smothered in two-three different sauces. Even with a massive appetite, it was quite difficult to scarf down the entire veggie doner. The bread and the produce are fresh (not wilted lettuce here), and the sauces a delight. The entire package is delectable.
Ordering is done at the till, and the food is delivered to your table within only a few minutes. There is ample seating downstairs and upstairs, and the shop is kept impeccably clean. My veggie doner alone was £5, more expensive than some of the fast food in the area, but a good value when you consider the high quality ingredients and the healthiness of the cuisine. Next time I'm out late in city centre and craving something both healthy and delicious, German Doner Kebab will be at the top of the list. read more
