    I am sorry to say I was very disappointed with this take away. The first time I tried it I didn't receive my full order from them. When I called them I was told to call just eat and was given a refund so fair enough. Then yesterday I ordered and again they sent plain fries instead of cheesy fires and no spring rolls. I called up and told them I didn't want a refund I wanted the missing food. I was told to get in touch with just eat. They there was no option to say what was missing so I put it in a message I got a reply to say because I had a refund last time I wouldn't get one this time. Ridiculous. Will not return.

    It's a busy donar kebab fast food joint with spacious seating arrangements at Coventry city center next to Cross cheaping bus stop.Stuffs are polite and helped me with the selection.I ordered large Chicken donar box with fries which costs me 6.49£ exactly.I have deducted 1 star because of Portion size was okay not great for Large category.The donar meat quality was very good and the meat is juicy not dry like many joints in Coventry.Serving was quick,took me around 5 mins to delivered to the table.Overall a satisfying experience will definitely try when in this area.😊 Update: Tried their Chicken donar with Brown bread on this weekend with portion of Spring rolls(Again chicken!😃) And both were amazing and delicious!See the images attached.Server was polite and explained me on different bread options they have while asked.😊

    First time visiting GDK after having good experiences at another store. Didn't disappoint, food was hot and tasty! The fries crispy (the spicy fries even tastier), the "German Donner kebab" tasted fresh and the spring roles were crispy and yummy. I like the fact that the drinks also come in a glass bottle 😁. Would definitely visit again.

    It's a nice doner place in Coventry.. Very good food , had tried most of the dish in GDK only the crunchy burger was disappointing. Rest all the items were too good .. Filling and tasty the place is .. Enjoy eating

    More like food to soak up the festivities of a night out. I wouldn’t eat this willingly again. Portions were big but the meat was dry and not spectacular to say the least. A lot of seating but didn’t see many people in there with me. The spring rolls were subpar, mentioned before meat didn’t add any flare to it. Chips were ok. Average meal, like any other kebab house in town.

    Most of my order was missing, and even though delivery was on time the food that turned up was cold. The delivery driver said "oh s**t" when I questioned the missing items and then quickly left with no answer, I contacted the restaurant, but they told me I'd have to contact just eat, "there's nothing we can do about it" after microwaving the little food that did turn up, it was quite tasty, but I won't be ordering again.

    You pick up the kebab and there is meat and practically no vegetables .. The service has gone terribly wrong. I do not recommend. Chips with cheese... I think they ran out of cheese

    I placed an order with uber eats. It came within 20 minutes! I thought fantastic. I ordered two boss boxes and with cheesy fries The kebab was barely warm There was no cheese on the fries The chips were stale I rang to complain and the guy told me "ring uber eats" and then hung up I was so looking forward to this meal as I have heard great reviews! I am furious and still hungry

    Agree with Alexander K, food is nothing special. Just the hype about the name. I prefer eating in, I ordered take away on Just Eat, It was so tiny and not worth the price, I didn't realise, it didn't state the size. Chips are the same at Kebab Rush. It's okay. The two for 1 Tuesdays is good when I'm with uni friends. 2nd time I ordered it was all.squashed and there was yukky mayo sauce all over it than inside! So what if your'e busy. Least make my food presentable.

    In Coventry, this restaurant is among the best for doner kabab. Both quantity and quality are incredible. It also doesn't take long for your order to be placed on your table. There won't be a waiting issue because there are plenty of seats.

  • 1/5 Christopher H. 9 months ago on Google
    Worst dining experience ever. Staff all looked like they're suffering from depression, forlorn and fairly inert. The young man that served me was barely audible and I had to tell him my order several times before he understood me. Was pointed to sit at a nearby table, which was pretty sticky. I ordered a standard doner with chips, which was a bit overpriced but I understand this is a city centre "restaurant ". The kebab arrived after about 15 minutes, it was just about warm enough, there was almost no meat at all, mostly lettuce and onions, very disappointed. I won't be revisiting.

    I had lunch with friends at this place, and I must say the kebabs were delicious! The food was good, and what made it even better was the great seating arrangement.

    My all time favourite ever since I’ve eaten for the first time. Doner Quesadilla (chicken and lamb mix) is very tasty. You won’t regret eating it. Try it in large size to quench full appetite.

    I have been a regular customer of the establishment for 6 years. I used to go to the Leicester branch and was always treated with respect. Idk who trained the lady at the front or decided to put her as the face of the establishment. She had 0 communication skills and stood there like she was doing customers a favour. Had a weird attitude towards any customer who struggled to speak English or asked any questions. NB. The lady I was served was wearing a Hijab and had Spectacles on.

    I did order doner kebab with fries and salad take away ,unfortunately who took order that lady didn’t add salads.I called back store and explan what I miss in that box then she told to me bring back. Once I enter every one looks me I did some mistakes and they discussed something wrong.,and they told to me they will add salad top up that box. I refused becaus that food was already cold and I requested to preper for me new box, They are very rude they told to me then you have to wait 20 mnts because they have other order . Really disgusting even they not said apology and they treat completely rude . Finally the shift manger Shakib observe this all things and he come and said apologies and he preper me as soon as my new box of done or kebab with salad and fries. Thanks to Shakib 😊 Really it’s my third time bad experience customer service. Food is excellent no doubt it but if make pain customer that food not feel better . Plz don’t do any other customer same thing 😞 once again thanks to shift manger shikeb who help to me

    It’s just BANGIN ain’t it! Never had a bad one and the staff are always lovely! This MAD JAN deal they’re doing at the minute is ridiculously good! Always a good to if I’m in town!

  • 4/5 phantom 2. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is fine (beef kebab), could be a little bit bigger. During my visit local was clean and staff was pleasant. I can only recommend. Go with Tuesdays 2 for 1 (not meal).

  • 1/5 Kelly A. 1 year ago on Google
    Twice now I have been really disappointed with the quality and quantity of food from GDK. We pay to have 100g of extra meat and there is barely 100g of meat in there in total! Food looks like it is thrown together and is poorly packaged. Far better kebabs out there from other restaurants. Shame as it used to be great but has really gone downhill. Don’t waste your money on delivery from here, I won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

    First time visiting GDK, we went at lunch time. Really friendly staff and efficient service, the food was lovely!

  • 3/5 George C. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m not so sure about the place. The food and kebab is very good but the service is very slow. It’s very chaotic, despite being well staffed.

  • 2/5 sultan A. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m one of the most regular customers since JAN 2019 so more than three years it was one of my best places to eat I usually go more than twice a week there but sadly to say this since the beginning of this year the quality of the food drop down a lot I ate today there It was not great and this is the third time I get an issue with my stomach the fries was a bit old and the chicken too the quality of the ingredients was not good enough more than that they increase the prices even the salad it was look like out dated. Hope my review help to improve.

    I went to this restaurant with my friends. Each of us ordered a different meal to taste every food and guess what…. Everything was fabulous ! Both the chicken and beef were excellent. We will definitely come back

  • 5/5 Huzaifah M. 2 years ago on Google
    I went here for the first time and the service was absolutely fantastic. The waiters were extremely polite and helpful. They even charged my phone for me whilst it was nearly dying which is much appreciated. As for the food, you can’t go wrong. It was 10/10. Would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Giulia K. 2 years ago on Google
