   Your chicken meat is red/pink and RAW! You are normally very good but today absolutely terrible. I know exactly how your meat is supposed to be as regular customer it is not supposed to be pink/red and raw. Ordered via ubereats - 4x mixed donner boxes with fries. Good job i noticed before pouring all the sauces over it!!! I paid over £20 and couldnt eat any of it!! 03/01/2026! Not happy!

   I just ordered a doner box fries with extra chicken and I received half of box of food. We go there from time to time and that’s not the actual quantity that we receive. I am very disappointed and I tried calling the restaurant but when someone answered just hung up on me without talking. I tried again but no response. Unacceptable.

   I walked into GDK and greeted the staff at the till with a friendly “hello” — no response whatsoever. The lack of acknowledgement pushed me to use the self-service kiosk instead. I was the only customer in the restaurant at the time, yet the two staff members barely acknowledged each other, let alone the customers. The atmosphere was cold and awkward — it honestly felt like walking into a room mid-argument. no energy, just silence. When my food arrived, it was underwhelming. The meat was cold and sliced so thin it made tracing paper look thick. I approached the staff at the till to mention that the food was cold, and I was told bluntly, “That’s the way it’s meant to be.” No apology. No offer to help. Just a blank stare and a dismissive tone. I managed to eat a few flavourless pieces of meat and a burnt spring roll before deciding enough was enough. What a waste of £18. Won’t be returning.

   We walked passed this restaurant and saw what looked a delicious kebab advertised on a poster in the window. We went into the restaurant to try it. It was a Tuesday and they said it was 2 kebabs for the price of 1. Even better. The food was great. Well worth trying.

   Bad service when ever I go there. They never follow instructions and they just send you whatever is convenient for them. You ask no onion and you get extra. You ask extra tomato you get none. You ask for a mixed durum wrap they send you a beef one. You ask for a mixed spring roll and you get two beef ones. You ask for extra meat for 2 pounds and you get the same amount like the normal one.???You ask for no cabbage and you get one with.They only thing that they didn't mess up was the three sauces. I am not surprised. Everywhere in the UK it was fine for me to eat but here ? No just no. They don't care for their eat in customers and you can tell. They don't care for the take out either. They fail me so many times. Next time I want a GDK I may as well go to Stratford they do better than here. I do not recommend. The picture is from today's order. The one with no onion and extra tomato which became extra onion and no tomato. I paid 6.99 for an empty wrap. And if someone check weight of meat ? Like 40 gr meat in a wrap? For 6.99? Plus bag fee and delivery charge. ??? Something is really wrong you guys. And you need to fix it before you lose all your customers. Just saying. P.s what if I was allergic to onion? And you send my order with extra onions instead of none?????????? I would just die from allergic reaction. Well done for not reading comments or food requirements. No answer/reply from management, not from owners, not from supervisor or anyone what so ever. So they only reply on good reviews unfortunately and not on bad reviews yes? Not even a basic apology just for the people to see that they care. Shame on you and your franchise. They should take the franchise back if you can't manage or serve customers what they want to eat. If I could give 0 starts I would do but I cannot unfortunately.

   Not so fast, not so good and not so hot. I came here for a quick brunch. It took them almost 20 min to make my KCAL Kebab, it was cold, and they did not have many customers. They did not inform customers about products out of stock or waiting time in advance. They keep you waiting for it through the queue (not the first time). Also, you do not need to show your student ID if someone among your friends has a student ID.

   First time here today and oh boy it was impressive. The restaurant looks amazing and clean, staff did a fantastic job with my meal.We had the BOSS BOX meal. The store looks so modern and fresh, and while sitting at our table, we could see all the food being prepared from the kitchen. Highly recommended for those who love kebabs of for new comers.
