GDK growth, breakfast and past menu prices
German Doner Kebab has grown quickly in the UK. Time Out reported on 30 January 2025 that GDK Victoria in London was the chain’s 144th UK restaurant and that 25 more UK openings were planned for 2025. The company is owned by Glasgow-based Hero Brands, which opened 19 sites in 2023 and 16 in 2024.
The same report says GDK was rolling out a breakfast range served until 11am at selected sites, including a “big breakfast wrap” with doner meat, free-range eggs, hash brown bites, onions, tomatoes, melted cheese and yogurt sauce. Not every restaurant serves breakfast, so confirm locally.
For historical context, QSR Media (26 April 2022) reported a grab-and-go “Doner 2.0” range priced at £4 to £5. These are older launch prices and are not current menu prices.
| Doner 2.0 item (April 2022) | Launch price |

| Doner Nachos | £5 |
| Doner Quesadilla | £5 |
| Doner Burger | £5 |

How to read the GDK menu
GDK’s identity is the German-style doner served with sauces and toppings, and its menu is built around a handful of formats: doner in bread, boxes, burgers, quesadillas and sides. Because prices differ between restaurants and delivery platforms, the ranges in our table are a guide only. The Doner 2.0 grab-and-go range launched in April 2022 at £4 and £5 per item, and we list those historical prices in GDK prices: Doner 2.0 grab-and-go menu.
Halal and ingredient notes
Wikipedia reports that GDK stated in 2015 that its meat is 100% halal and that the beef doner contains an undisclosed amount of beef plus other poultry, which the chain says is for added juiciness. These are historical statements: if halal certification or ingredients matter to you, confirm with the restaurant or the chain’s allergen information today.
