About us
German Doner Kebab is a fast-casual restaurant brand that is changing the world’s perception of the traditional kebab. Positioned within the broad sector of Mediterranean style of food, one of the fastest growing sectors in the restaurant industry, GDK has raised the bar, offering a focused menu that brings quality, consistency, reliability and high standards that have not been present before. Our vision is to be recognised as one of the top fast-casual brands in the world and unquestionably the number one for Doner Kebabs. We’ve spent a decade developing our products and recipes, creating our own unique blend of spices, innovating our signature sauces and perfecting our distinctive ‘Doner Kebab’ waffle bread. Our gourmet Doner Kebabs are made using only the best premium quality ingredients. To maintain quality and consistency we use lean succulent meats imported directly from Germany, and the freshest locally produced vegetables that are delivered and prepared daily along with our handmade bread. Every order we make at GDK is freshly prepared to ensure our guests have a great experience each and every time. This is what makes German Doner Kebab a truly unique taste experience for our customers. The GDK brand started building momentum in 2017 when it was purchased by Athif Sarwar. With the Sarwar family's strong background in business and extensive knowledge and success in franchising, the brand has grown at great pace with 65 restaurants in UK, Europe and Middle East and now rapidly expanding in the USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Ireland.

If you thought Day 1 of the GDK Conference was big, Day 2 took things to another level. 💥 Our restaurant managers came together for an action-packed Manager’s Rally, packed with high-energy training, powerful insights, and some serious motivation. From Marketing workshops to Superstar Management sessions, it was all about levelling up, pushing boundaries, and getting fired up for the year ahead. The passion in the room was unmatched. Seeing our teams engaged, hungry to grow, and ready to take GDK to new heights reminded us why they are the heartbeat of the brand. 2025 is ours to own. 🚀 A huge shoutout to every manager who brought the energy and made the day unforgettable. Let’s take this momentum back into our restaurants and keep Changing the Game. 🔥
