Yes that's a thing. The Spice Hut franchise opened a shop up local to me. I've been buying their spice box that came in a 12" pizza box for the last few years. Now it's half the size and comes in a 10" box, and the price has gone from £17.99 to £24.99. noticed a food influencer did a video last week outside their shop and the box was totally different in size and much deeper. It was packed and the presentation was excellent. Absolutely nothing like you get 😂

Gary, to fully enjoy a doner kebab please follow these simple steps. 1. Make sure you only order your meal between midnight and 3am. 2. Ensure that you have imbibed enough alcohol to knock out George Best. 3. Eat your kebab whilst sitting in a bus shelter, not forgetting to drop 50% of it on the floor. Following these steps will ensure maximum doner satisfaction 😂 👍

[@rundattmedia2106]

Covered in chilli sauce boss! Sometimes garlic sauce.

[@GaryEats]

Haha I've been there many times Andrew and I can mostly agree they are the steps to take!

[@timoverington5177]

I totally agree with you and as for it being stated the the Keebab is greasy I thought that’s the way they are and part and parcel of the whole make up of it all… this is a 40 year veteran Keebab consumer speaking….lol

[@JimmyMac-jo3zh]

1. buy kebab 2. get home 3. sit to eat it on sofa 4. wake up next morning having fallen asleep lying on the 3/4 of it that you didn't finish

[@marcus2753]

As a German kebab expert since about 35 years: Never go into a "restaurant" where the kebab on the stick has a smooth surface. Smooth surface means: This one is (hopefully) made from minced meat, dilluted with fat, with more chemistry inside than inside of a GSK plant, mixed with protein glue and poured into a form like concrete, afterwards shock frosted to keep its shape. And the "meat" in your bread looks exactly like that. Always go to the kebab shops where the meat ist edgy and you see the different layer. A little bit more expensive, but worth the price.

[@steviehunter24581]

Spot on that 👍

[@heidifogelberg3544]

Very useful advice! Sounds like you have knowledge of the subject, for sure!

[@GaryEats]

Interesting. Thank you for the info.

[@Giuseppe-fv9dr]

I know what you mean re no texture in the meat. Best doner kebab meat I have eaten is from Tas in North Cheam, Sutton in Surrey. It’s more like a roast land being carved. So flavoursome with chunks of meat.

[@PotatoPirate123]

People absolutely love GDK and I have no idea why. I can only assume they’ve never had a kebab elsewhere before. The salad has some pretty colours but that’s about it. The spring rolls are just a stupid addition - like ordering pie and mash and getting some Mini Kievs on the side

[@GaryEats]

[@GaryEats]

[@moottori_paa]

[@thewaxbiscuit]

As someone of Greek-Cypriot heritage I can say I have yet to find a really nice donner in London (or gyros as we call it). From what I understand, speaking to those in the restaurant industry, a lot of them use the same suppliers. Apparently there are only a few places you can secure 40kg frozen formed meat cylinders from! The best I've had has always been made in-house, but it takes time and effort most kebab places in the UK are reluctant to expend.

[@free_gold4467]

I've had kebabs in Cyprus and they were absolutely next level. I was staying in a place called Kissonerga near Paphos. It wasn't gyros though, it was souvlaki and sheftalia in a pitta with salad- a big squeeze of lemon all over the meat, so delicious that I'll never forget them. I have also had gyros quite a bit in Greece, smaller and wrapped in a flatbread with some chips and salad in there (and the delicious sauce whatever it is). I could eat quite a few of those delightful Greek gyros but the Cypriot kebab was more of a meal. 😄

[@disarchitected]

@@free_gold4467This comment made me feel hungrier than the video of the GDK kebab! 😅

[@disarchitected]

Totally agree, my local Turkish place, their doners smell and taste like sweaty gym socks. Their other kebabs are quite reasonable. Tried that place in Stoke Newington, I forget the name, that an Evening Standard article said had the best doners in the UK, was totally unimpressed. However, for some reason, doners are always my go to after my senses have been knocked by 7 or 8 pints. The sweaty gym socks doner becomes the delicious thing in the world! 😂

Yes, you're most definitely right.

Aren't all kebabs the epitome of grease anyway??? Every single time I've put a doner kebab in the fridge the next morning the meat's grease has solidified into a cakey thick white substance.

That looked disgusting, also very expensive. I have seen a couple of 'German' Kebap reviews from the UK, all being quite ugly. You've got to get it in Germany, it's very different and much much better. On the flipside, Indian food in the UK is great and everywhere, whereas it's rare to find a good curry in Germany.

[@GaryEats]

Completely agree with you

[@Bozebo]

Not sure about the Indian food (or Bangladeshi, or BIR, etc.). Really good places exist, but the majority of them are absolutely terrible. It costs like £500 of attempts to find the proper place any time you move to a new city or the good place closes down or stops being good :( Reviews are completely useless because a lot of people apparently love tomato soup with their naan and also review them on the quality of the kebabs and burgers and stuff they only reluctantly sell so parties with picky eaters can still go there.

Love, love your show Gary. You have a cast iron stomach, bless you. I couldn't have eaten that food in a million years 😂😂😂

This was my second visit and definitely my last

Great work Gary Always watch your channel

You where quite generous Gary with your score. A one for a score. Everything looked so greasy. Twice visited . Is a three time the charm for a visit ? No. It is what it is. Thank you for warning us. All the best Gary Jim and Harriet

This is shocking my second visit and my last Jim and Harriet 🌹

Hi Gary I’m enjoying your videos keep up the good work and I would highly recommend the cappadocia restaurant in Kingston the food there is amazing very tasty it is pricey but you get what you pay for give it a go 👍

[@GaryEats]

Thank you so much, and thank you very much for the recommendation. I actually know that restaurant.

[@parkerzilla6323]

Hi Gary, I went into the one in Sutton about 6 months ago. All I can say after my experience is that I will not be going into one again. The problems were with the staff and service rather than the food. I do not consider myself to be a "whinger" but the behaviour of the staff and the overall experience was not something I want to do again. Great video as ever, thanks.

[@GaryEats]

Shocking mate

Thanks Gary, excellent video. Never used or heard of GDK. I will give them a wide berth.

This was my second visit they definitely won’t get a third

[@maxm04a]

Are kebabs in london generally not greasy or something? I'm up north and every kebab i've ever had is swimming in the stuff. In fact, i've always considered GDK to be the 'cleaner', less greasy kebab up here. I am now concerned for my health ahaha

[@GaryEats]

Lol not at all. I’ve had plenty in my time as well but this went well beyond the point of greasy…

[@pator8172]

The problem I have GDK is the fact that they use beef instead of lamb, it just never tastes right to me. If the bread is the best part of a kebab, then it cannot be good!

[@GaryEats]

I can’t understand that at all, the taste was very poor as you saw 👍

[@TIERTRAVEL]

Gary, if you ever visit us in Berlin, try a "Gemüse Döner". Love your polite English man videos. ❤

[@GaryEats]

Hopefully, I will visit you next year

[@adrianunderwood961]

Loving the videos! This one gave me serious indigestion just watching!

[@GaryEats]

Unfortunately it wasn’t good Adrian

[@vincenzocherubini2424]

My 1st taste of Doners was over 40yrs ago on a trip to London. Some 12yrs later, one opened in my home town. The 1st wk, the queue was unreal. Anyway, fast forward some 15 yrs later and had my 1st real kebab in Istanbul. Once you've had a real kebab, there's no going back, and it should come rolled in a "Durum", not pitta. . A heavenly thing. Also, if you venture into a proper Kebab place, can highly recommend you try an Iskander kebab. It's served on a plate, and covered in yoghurt. Divine! BTW, not keen on what they served you there! Bon Apetit!

[@GaryEats]

Some doners are superb but this one was shocking. Do you have any good recommendations for UK kebabs?

[@sneer0101]

Not all kebabs in Istanbul use durum. That's just one type. There are lots of options for bread, including pita. And this is a German style version brought over by Turkish immigrants. The ones in Germany are just as good as the ones in Istanbul. They're both amazing.

[@EminemDisciple1]

Very true. In a way I think Kebabs are like Pizza. You *think* you're eating a kebab or pizza and then you have a authentic traditional one, ideally in the country of origin, and suddenly you realise what you've been missing! People who've only ever been eating Domino's or Pizza Hut, for example, would be shocked if they were ever given a 'real' pizza in Italy! Similarly, they're use to the local 'Peckham Grill' and then try real kebab in Istanbul!

[@vincenzocherubini2424]

Hi Gary, sadly no, as i've been away from UK for a number of years now.@@GaryEats

[@vincenzocherubini2424]

Hi, yes, I know, but personally prefer them in a Durum, as it doesn't detract from the filling as much as a pitta or other casings.@@sneer0101

[@danrev8765]

Good to see you again to Gazza! Cracking review again!!! I’d be running for the bog if I ate that! did they have a bog in the restaurant and what were they like? Would be good to see a loo review on your next review. That’s not a doner kebab either! My uncle gimpo would be turning in grave if he saw that, and the price 😮 he used to have a kebab every night from the Ali Express and he was paying £3.78 with a free can of pop

How things have changed and not always for the better for sure 😳

[@martingilbert74]

Hi Gary, I'm with you on this. Whilst the humble 'dirty kebab' is more traditionally after club food, I've always saved some for breakfast the next day. The first time I had it in a Naan was in Belgium, and boy was that good!!! I appreciate it was served with chips, and Belgium does them the best. I've been to German Donner Kebab at all times, many times, through no other options. And at their best it's like eating those horrible boiled burgers, they skimp on the sauce, the chilli sauce is horrible, and what didn't get eaten went in the bin. No way I could do what you did, eat one sober. Thanks for doing that, it's not just me.

[@GaryEats]

I would see you would need to be very drunk to eat this Martin, this was my second visit and it’s definitely my last

[@meffodman1855]

Hey Gary, just stumbled on your channel, Great content mate keep it up. I would really recommend Pepe's Piri Piri, and try their Chicken Rice Box, I'm pretty sure you'll love it.

[@rhysthomas2876]

Interesting review! There was a GDK in Swansea when I was there at uni, and I thought it was fantastic, especially compared to your normal high street late night kebab. The bread, the toppings, selection of sauce and (what I at least thought, lol was) quality meat made it much better than your average kebab! I wonder if you say, maybe you just had a bad experience? Perhaps one day if you find yourself in Swansea you could try GDK in Uplands. If you are there as well, definitely check out Nishimura! Japanese restaurant on Catherine Street. There's also a Chinese right next door which was super authentic!

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Rhys!

[@dangermouse8466]

I think it's a fair review. I've been to German Doner in UAE and the food came cold. The second time I tried it and it (in a different branch) was the same story except that the food was overly spicy. I never went back.

[@GaryEats]

This was my second visit and they definitely won’t get my money on the third occasion

[@pokersmasher-ks3gb]

Hi Gary, You were not unduly harsh at all. GDK is a franchised chain that just takes a totally sensible dish and trots out a very pale imitation of what it ought to be like. There are way too many genuine Kebab shops out there to ever darken the doors of GDK ever again.

[@pokersmasher-ks3gb]

I like the honesty in the review, glad you don't feel pressured to pretend its good as the honesty is what we come back for. Bad food is bad food, its really as simple as that, it's not wrong to call it out, better than pretending its good, getting people to go there to only find its gross. Well reviewed, I wouldn't even of given that a 2, looked really unpleasant.

[@GaryEats]
