Doner Summer in Leeds

Excellent in every way, the staff were super accommodating and gave us a huge discount due to them being busy and the food taking longer than usual (even though it wasn't that long). Favourite place in Leeds for vegan food

Stunning food!! MASSIVE portions and so tasty. Brilliant, friendly service. Absolutely faultless in every way

Eating there is better than delivery, food taste amazing !! But hardly ever I got my order right if I order take away…. In less than a year I got it wrong 90% of the times, there is something missing, if it’s not chips is sauce if not is wrong coating, I called different times… nothing they can do just deal with Uber … so sadly decided to look for alternatives ! I work nights so sometimes once a week while I’m on nights I like to order from them but since it’s been so terrible and also portions little by little smaller and always something wrong with the order I decided to stop using them.

Food was alright, quite greasy the seitan chicken tasted pretty good but overall nothing that blew my mind :(

Oh my god, just had the best date night ever! Our server, MEG, was absolutely incredible and the best server I’ve ever had. So accommodating to us and got us everything we needed. Will definitely come again. Such yummy food!

Fun eatery with generous portions of delicious vegan food.

We go every visit to Leeds. it was lovely as always 💖

Ordered the dish “Bad girl”, maybe should change the name to Bad FOOD. The problem is they took so long to “cook” (make? ) a COLD sandwich and the “chicken” was way too salty in a such weird pink colour (what’s wrong with the original look?) and very very small amount of salad covered in odd sauce and the biggest problem for me is it’s not even real Turkish pide bread even though you wrote so on the menu, the bread tastes so not fresh and cheap omg just so much to say but whatever definitely won’t go to there again..The only good part last night was kind friendly staff, thanks for that❤️

I have eaten here numerous times now including having a birthday party here, every time the food and service has been excellent. I highly recommend the ‘Whats garlic in french burger’, the fried chicken (minus the Korean BBQ sauce, It’s so salty!) and their cherry soda. Their garlic parmesan fries are also great. It’s a good job I don’t live in Leeds or I would be in here every week stuffing my face on a regular basis.

I have been here three times now and have loved it every time. It's a little pricey but worth it for a treat, and the Donner kebab tastes like a Donner 😍

The best in Leeds for fake meat treats. Great staff and prices with a paid car park across the road. A must try for a veggies 😋 👌

I’m certified carnivore but that was the best chicken I’ve ever had

You go Leeds You go Döner Summer Simple as

As vegetarians, we were seeking a suitable dining establishment for our final day in Leeds. While many restaurants offer a few vegan or vegetarian options, it is always a pleasure to dine at a vegan-exclusive establishment, where one can dine without concerns about the contents of their meal. The culinary offerings were exceptionally delectable, and the portion sizes were appropriate. The cocktails were also crafted to perfection. In addition, the server provided exemplary service and demonstrated a friendly demeanor.

I ordered a "Bad Girl" and Tots as a side, the side was huge, I couldn't finish it all, but very tasty and all vegan whoop whoop

Carbing up for the Leeds half marathon next day and tried Döner Summer - best vegan food I've experienced to date. Fake chicken virtually indistinguishable from the real thing with amazing dips and sides, plus great atmosphere and lovely staff. Very reasonably priced too, wish they would also open up in Liverpool!

Really delicious food backed up with excellent service. And dog friendly. Highly recommend

Smash burger is to die for, no notes

Excellent service, drinks and especially food

Great food, will go again when back in Leeds 👌

Fried Chicken and Chicken kebaba was like eating rubber , no taste, Over cooked.

Will never be able to STOP thinking about this food!! I ordered the Korean loaded fries and, as a vegan junk food lover, it hit the spot and will be a meal to remember. My meat-eating friend absolutely loved it as well. Highly recommend!!

Been to all three doner summer establishments. This is the best one. Really chilled, relaxing music, great service, and stunning vegan food Would definitely recommend

Great little place, part of a modest chain, doing exclusively vegan food. Don't expect wholefood though, this is a bit naughty, but it scratches that kebab itch. They serve a range of kebabs, burgers and vegan fried chicken with some excellent sauce choices. Friendly service, the price is reasonable and there's a range of options for smaller or larger meals. Highly recommended if you're vegetarian or vegan.

Small portions and their hygiene is a measly 3!! Shocking.

I usually rate this place, but the portion sizes seem to have become much smaller!! I ordered a take away this week and usually order a portion of friend chicken, and then a portion of fries to share. I do this rather than ordering a combo, as usually the portion sizes are bigger and the chicken will last me a day or 2. This time around, the chicken portion was much smaller - which feels cheeky when they're charging £15+ for a box. I probably won't order again, as it's just getting too expensive.

Wow. Beautiful colourful and delicious food served by really lovely people. I’m not vegan but I couldn’t recommend this place enough. 10/10.

If I could I would move back to the UK just so I could have a meal here everyday. I honestly had to keep checking everything was vegan it was super tasty. Staff are wondeful and welcoming. Please consider branching out in to New Zealand!

Try hard hipster atmosphere. One of the staff member was lovely, the others were not The food was okay but a bit plasticky tasting. Also put a 10% tip on the bill for themselves without asking me. Just pretty meh all round really, two meals a beer and a cocktail was £50

Vegan chicken made out of whipped flour batter then fried. Need more substance. It felt like eating paste. The person serving was a good and polite. But think the food needs to be better for vegans and vegetarian.

Banging food! I'm not even vegan! 😋

Regularly order online from here but visited the other week for the first time, me and a group of friends got the Sunday roast and it was beautiful! Also was given free cauliflower cheese too 😍

Used to order from here all the time. Ordered last week and spent £60 on four portions of "chi*ken" and chips and got one portion split across four boxes. Called them to explain and was promised a refund, was told there were new chefs in and portions were been checked but must have missed this one. Called back two days later to chase was promised it would be sorted. Messaged on Facebook, no reply. Called again today and was told a manager had emailed me, four hours on, still no emailed and £60 out of pocket. I can't believe how poor the service has been.

The service was absolutely great really lovely staff and the FOOD OMG! Tastes even better than it looks I was blown away. Took my meat eater sister and she said it was the best kebab she ever had and didn’t know it was vegan! I will definitely go here everytime I visit Leeds.

I've been to Döner Summer several times and hope to go many more. One of my favourite vegan junk food places. There isn't a bad dish on the menu and I always have trouble choosing. Lovely staff too.

Always a joy to visit. Small but really nicely decorated and super friendly and helpful staff. Food and drink selection are both awesome. Highly recommended for vegans as well as anyone who just enjoys good dirty food!

As others have said the food is delicious, however the service is agonisingly slow so don't go if you are very hungry. Its a real shame as there's not many places like this in leeds, however the service seriously let's it down. Ordered a meal to collect an hour and a half in advance tonight as we knew it would take ages and an hour later they cancel the order. Seems 2 hours before closing still isn't enough time.

I think Doner Summer is one of the best vegan spots in Leeds. It may look pricey but you get so much food which makes up for it. Both the vegan chicken and vegan doner taste soo good! And I’m obsessed with the tots, they have such the perfect amount of crunch to them.

The staff were lovely which is why we've given 2 stars. Aside from that though, we booked a week in advance and travelled 45 mins to Leeds to eat here - however, after we were seated we were informed that we could only order a Sunday roast. There is no mention of Sunday roast on their website (the menu page only brings up the kebab menu) - and we weren't prompted that their menu wasn't being served on Sundays when we booked. The Sunday roast sounded ok, but we didn't book a kebab place (remember that Doner is in their name) in the hopes of eating a Sunday roast. Vegan kebabs are very few and far between, so we were very disappointed and unfortunately left to eat somewhere else.

The food was amazing, drinks were really nice, and the service was great. Definitely worth visiting. Would come back to Leeds just to go back haha. :)

Loved it. Great service, food aesthetically pleasing and really really tasty. Even the pop was exceptionally refreshing. Yum! Yum! Yum!

Best vegan fried chicken you will ever have in your life

Fantastic food, attentive staff and chilled vibes. regularly drive from Sheffield to Leeds especially for a Korean BBQ combo 😋 and a sour cocktail 🍸 Well worth it.

Very tasty food. A 100% prefer the doner "meat" served here over real meat doner meat. Would love to see some slightly smaller, slightly cheaper options.

Best restaurant ever. Love Doner Summer so much I travel from Nottingham for it. Please open more!

Dude! This might be the best vegan chicken I’ve ever experienced. No cap! 100% order the Original Fried Chick'N Combo with Korean BBQ Dip. Thank me later! Love from 🇺🇸

Great vegan food. One of my favourite places to eat in Leeds. Always looking forward to specials and limited edition menu items.

Had an amazing time here at the weekend! Food was incredible and Andy and the rest of the team were so friendly!

Absolutely fabulous vegan goodness! The restaurant is lovely & had a great bakewell cocktail 🤩💖 Deffo worth the visit, need them back in Manny!

Sensational vegan food! We came for lunch for the second time today, and I had the chicken gyros which was incredible. As always, the portion sizes were massive. I love that the team make their own sodas - such a nice touch and adds a bit of variety compared to other places around. Fast and friendly service, and such a good range of food - not just fried chicken. Will come back time and time again ❤️

Absolutely banging food. This is how seitan is meant to be consumed

Food ready in good time and tasted Amazing.. Chocolate cake 👌👌.. Thankyou ❤ will be back again

Used to come here all the time, lovely wings and tots usually. I’ve noticed in the last few months that the quality and flavour of the food has gone down considerably both in-person and for takeaway and I’m not sure why - the service too is very consistently minimal, the server was watching videos on his phone last time and didn’t check in during the meal, had to go to the counter to get the bill :p

This is our major vegan favourite. The food is just to die for. Its a good job we don't have a local branch anymore really, as we would be in every day! The staff are really friendly and the atmosphere is chilled. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Eating in store this place is sensational. The takeaway/delivery option on the other hands is so poor, it’s like they give you the leftovers or anything that they have burnt and cannot serve in store. So, go in and eat, do not order!

Days later I'm still thinking about ChicknParm flatbread, it was so good I wanted to eat it again straight after I finished. Nice layout means you don't feel on top of other customers, lovely staff and also attracts lovely customers!

I have wanted to come to Doner Summer for so long. It was worth the wait. From the moment we go into the restaurant, the staff were super friendly! We didn't have a booking as I was not aware we had to book but staff found us a table without making it a huge issue. We quickly got our drinks which were so nice and then shortly after our food arrived. It was hot and so tasty! The portion sizes are huge! We had to get a take away box because we couldn't eat it all. Definitely worththe travel.

Used to be 5 star cafe/restaurant a couple of years ago. Food is definitely on the decline, it's vastly overpriced now, and they sneak a service charge on you without telling you which i thought was very cheeky considering its not a posh place. I told them to take it straight off. Can't recommend the place now unfortunately!

Hadn't had Doner Summer for a while so thought I'd order the other day when my friend was visiting. Added everything to the order on deliveroo (2x combo meals, 1x just chicken and 2x dips) and it came to £56!! I understand the price of everything has gone up and smaller businesses can't always absorb the costs, but this is just ridiculous! I'm gutted because I absolutely love the food there but just can't justify spending the money unfortunately.

Great vegan food! Would definitely recommend the burgers and gyros. Service was ok, was good at seating us and placing order but then felt ignored if we wanted anything else. It was quite cold as well - keep your coat on or take a blanket! Hoping the next time we come there's more choice on sides.

Delicious thankyou we will be back 😊

Went for a birthday meal. Service fast and pleasant. Food portions generous.

Not been for a while sadly but was well worth the wait! Absolutely on form, the combo was great value and get more chick'n again which I loved! The other half loved her kebab and the beer was beautiful too, completely satisfied 🥰

Really cool place, the food was delicious. I got the chick'n Parma dish in a tray, it was a huge helping!

excellent meals, really tasty, friendly staff, sadly always quiet so i hope they do well with takeout which seemed busy, Not too bothered over the fries or the scotch bonnet sauce but thats personal taste. The spicey chik'n was superb

Now the one in Manchester has gone, this is the closest I can get to fried chicken!! Absolutely love this place, the decor is fresh and funky, has a relaxed vibe. We had the mixed teller tray a few it was enough to feed 2. Food is bright and delicious, reasonable priced and attentive service.

Heard about doner summer through vegan social media pages giving the place a shout out. I cannot stress this enough, boy were they right! Best vegan fried chickn I’ve had! Mint atmosphere, lush food and a cracking pint. What else could a geordie ask for.. highly recommend this place to other vegans or those who are wanting to try a plant based diet.

Dont get me wrong, the food is delicious. BUT through ordering plenty of times, quiet frequently they get your orders wrong and put the wrong things into the boxes. When I rang up to mention this they said they couldn'do anything about it, the staff on the phone said they dont work in the kitchen, But you do work there no? If that's how every business answers queries why not have a phone straight to the kitchen then? Disappointed.

Were the option available, I'd move into this place and live under one of the tables like a gremlin, consisting for the rest of my life on their absolutely spectacular vegan food and amazing drinks range. I would eventually become so rotund as to be forced to wear the table like a hermit crab, yet I would still not stop eating the amazing food. You would simply have to deal with the mancrabgremlin devouring vegan chicken while you dined. And you would, because this place is amazing

Amazing food and lovely service!!

We have only ever ordered take away from here but god attending in person made me realise the food is even better in person. One of my favourite go to places. Food delicious as ever and portions in person definitely better than take away. The service was fantastic. My only issue was the endless amount of justeat,deliveroo and Uber delivery people that would just sit at the door on bikes holding up an order number. Meaning the door was constantly open and leaving a draft. Ps we always order Xmas dinner options here for Xmas day and they are divine.

First time coming here and throughly enjoyed the whole experience. Lovely food, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Definitely would recommend to anyone, we will be back again!

Give the blonde lady behind the bar a raise 👍

Wow! Subtly tucked away near Leeds Roundhouse, but worth finding.... And booking. It's popular. Food was tasty, different (Fried Chick'n) and just amazing. If I'm anywhere near again I'm back in!

we were served by Nova and she was so so nice. she helped us get a table after it quietened down & kept checking up on us once our food arrived!! would 10000% recommended this place, the food came so fast & the service was so good.

Yum!! I had the Korean tray! Vegan goodness.

Huge delicious portions. Enjoyed very much.

Really tasty food and friendly service!

Delicious food and cosy little place

went to dine in last week and had the most gorgeous vegan beef burger and loaded fries. this place exceeded my expectations with their delicious meat and dairy vegan alternatives. customer service was delightful and food arrived quickly. will definitely be coming back for more!

Ordered from them several times and always get the wrong items sent to me. Overall the food is nice but the constant issues of wrong orders being sent is making me not want to keep ordering

A very interesting place! It is not a big restaurant but the decor and the design makes the place unique! Fab staff, they are very welcoming and friendly. The meal set is really fulfilling and pricy. They make their own soda and it is definitely a "must-try"! Their vegan foods taste really amazing and I love their sauce! Their foods come with a good portion as well which makes you satisfied easily!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

This used to be one of our favourite places in Leeds to eat. Went there last night and everything we both had just tasted of salt, hugely overseasoned. We found this last time we ordered for delivery too, but hoped it was just a one-off. Big disappointment as this place used to be fantastic 😕

I usually love this restaurant so much. It's like a vegan fast food shop where you can have fried chicken, chips and burgers with a great price! I went there several times, ordered for a delivery and bought from some events too. However, I'm sure it was a mistake or something, but I experienced crazily salty food two times, one time by delivery, one time at the restaurant. I felt sick for a day drinking water and eating something healthy like salad to calm my mouth, but I think I'll still need some time to get recovered... I hope I'll get usual tasty food next time.

Wow. Possibly the best vegan restaurant in the world. Simply amazing

I came here with my (meat-eater) picky boyfriend. We were both very happy with our kebabs, and the drink I ordered was great as well. Overall amazing quality of the food!! 💗 Very nice staff, and good vibes all in all, so I will be back for sure!!! The only thing I would change was the knives - they were kind of blunt, but that's really a minor detail :) I would recommend this place to both vegans and non-vegans!

The food is delicious and full of flavour. The fake chicken was amazing. Really nice decor and great service.

Stumbled upon this place at the weekend, didn’t realise it was vegan until I started eating. Great food, reasonable price, friendly staff. It was absolutely dead so lacked atmosphere, upstairs where the toilets were was like a dumping ground and the toilets could do with a lick of paint. Otherwise great food for a quick bite in town

Great food but difficult to get in at lunchtime. Be sure to book in

Only been at lunch when it's quiet so can't comment on the atmosphere too much but the service was good, friendly and the food was good. Nothing else I can ask for

Fantástico restaurante vegano. Comida sabrosa y en cantidad. No te vas a quedar con hambre. Está muy cerca del famoso mercado de Leeds.

First time visiting but it won't be the last! Very tasty food and a good selection. It came quickly and the staff were very efficient. The only thing was that it was very cold in there but otherwise would recommend.

I unexpectedly really enjoyed my vegan garlic kebab. The texture of the fake chicken tasted unbelievable. The cheese sauce was delicious. Lovely friendly welcoming staff. They told us which were their most popular dishes, this included the bad girl kebab which two of my friends had. I would definitely recommend if you are vegan or just trying to eat less meat. I don't eat much meat myself and usually go for veggie options on menus so this place was right up my street.

Cant fault this place... I eat meat but this is epic...nice cocktails too

My friend enjoyed the no chicken burger but I found the meat in my kebab spongy, it's hard to describe the texture but it was so strange. Very little salad or sauce on it and the pitta bread tasted bland. I guess I expected more for the price.

I had a great experience here. The staff was friendly and inviting and the food was amazing. The garlic parmesan tots are a must!

Extremely friendly atmosphere and went out the way to make us welcome

An interesting take on fried chicken. I struggled to taste the difference between their chicken and the real thing. The staff were friendly and helpful.

So yummy - big portions and the staff were really nice 💕
