German Doner Kebab in Edinburgh, City of

Ordered a panini-meal for collection online. When I arrived was told I couldn't have a panini (second time this has happened) but could have an alternate main. I asked for a refund and was told "we don't do that". The alternate main that was offered also would not have included fries and a drink, as evidenced by my colleague experiencing the same thing and opting for the alternative. There's an issue with the website displaying items that are not for sale that is not the fault of this location, but equally, I was made to feel like I was the problem for asking for my money back when purchased goods could not be delivered. There's another one of these across the street. They do have every menu option available. I'd go there

I had lunch at GDK Waverly on 15th September. I ordered and paid for my food, but while I was waiting for my order, a member of the staff came and said that the transaction was not shown on their account, so I had to pay again. I showed him that in my account it was changed. He said that if I don't pay, they will not serve me, but anyway, if it is double changed, they will check and cancel one change within 3 days. I made a claim to GDK website abd sent all the documents they asked for, and they promised they would refund me within 7 days, they didn't do it. A few days later, I made a reminder and they promised to refund me as soon as possible. It is more than a month now and I am not refunded. I am wondering weather this is a mistake. GDK replied to my above comment saying that they are sorry about my experience , they insist it was not done on purpose, but my money have been stolen. No refund until now (10 November). Even if the double change was by mistake, can anyone consider it mistake that 2 months later nobody is willing to refund my stolen money?

Very Good 👍🏻 and The service was very fast, the food is tasty and delicious. thank you for the quick service🥰😊😇

Complete discovery German type kebab with salad/cabbage etc... The whole thing is harmonious, neither too much meat nor too much garnish. The garlic sauce is to die for, the curry ketchup is the same, the children's menu is very very generous. The table service with a designated table (a plus), the patient staff on our choice because discovering the menu I recommend, to do absolutely.

For all non-Caucasians, just know this location favors and provides more courteous service to Caucasians!! Basically if you’re Indian, get ready to wait and get horrible service! Worst mistake stopping here to eat! Oh and NEVER ORDER THEIR BURGER. It’s disgusting. I have pictures

GDK OG kebab with garlic, spicy, yoghurt, and cheese sauce

Very friendly staff, i like the food, was tasty! First time trying it and it did not disappoint.

it was a great experience. the person on the till was very kind and given quick service. sanjay was very friendly we would definitely come back

Great food as always but the person who took my order healthy bearded guy with glasses was rude and is not fit for customer service with that tone. I feel I pay the money so I should feel comfortable to eat what I want and not force me to eat something else just to make your numbers look good. Attitude aside fella and you’re good to go. I’m into professional hospitality industry and worked as a butler for many top celebrities but this guy needs to be briefed well about customer service.

Great atmosphere great service and delicious food. Service was absolutely rapid, so quick in fact is till made it back for my wife having our first born

Trash kebab. The worst one i have had. Dry and overpriced imo. Service is chill but i don’t understand the indian accent as a foreigner

Had a chicken kebab box and it was decent - not as spicy as I would expect a German “Döner” to be and the sauces that came with it weren’t very good. Staff was friendly and the ambience - just a kebab shop in a railway station, what do you expect?

It should be called german doner hoax

I tasted the Boss box menu. Fast service. Döner meat and bread were good. Sauces were successful.

First time at german doner kebab and really enjoyed the food however, the lady at the counter was rude and was being very stingy with the discount I was entitled to. I thought it had to do with the food chain but I went into another branch the next day and faced no issues with the discount. Would highly recommend changing the staff as it gives a bad image to a good food place that too in a very crowded area.

The Kebab has an exquisite flavor, a good size and abundant filling, approximate value €10

Huge portion , halal, and very near waverly steps are some of the pros of this place

Been first time in Doner Kebab. It was cold weather and those piping hot “Flaming” fries made our day. Best experience. Maybe for people who love spicy and hot condiments please go for Flaming fries and not for spicy dip. Quantity for wrap was impressive. It was huge. And with a meal option it’ll definitely make you full 👍🏻

AWFULL, cheap food quality, doesn't let me do student descount , even if there is chicken option does not let me choose it, very bad stuff (one that getting the orders), very bad experience!!!!!!!

The food was so delicious, with great service

They're battle with us not to give a discount. My brothers, who are 15 years old, are entitled to a discount, but the cashier is refusing to apply it.

Very good food. Nice staff. Not many people but I don't know why. Every time I come to Edinburgh I will come here.

Would not give this place any stars as I would not recommend this place to anyone, very dirty got the doner box with salad and it was literally three slices of diner and the rest was chips with black bits through them we paid £30 food was not nice it was litrally the scrapings of the doner as there was none left. the machine was dirty they didn’t use gloves and handled our food our daughter got the spring rolls and there was no dinner in them I’m not usually one to complain but this place should not be open, will 100% not be back

The garlic sauce broke the moment I threw it on the floor. Awful esperience. 0/10 balls. The waiter was also whispering and I didn't understand a thing. SUCA

Was busy so took a while but as expected

Good place to try chicken kabab wraps

Fantastic kebabs, but could do with more sauce... Most of it was stuck to the bread rather than on the meat Also the meat is made from chicken or beef, not actual Germans as I expected

Location is brilliant Food is amazing What else do you need?

2 days ago with my friend we went to there. I'm not happy. because staff it is doesn't respect us. And it's not clean. It's dirty eat there.. You know that's big problem. I recommend nobody go there because stuff doesn't respect.and dirty restaurant

Excellent food, unlike the greasy kebabs from the local takeaway.

Great place for a quick kebab.. Halal.. Fast service and plenty of seats

I practically enjoyed the OG German Kebab. It's a relish.

Love a German Doner, was great as always. Staff very welcoming and quick service. Thank you 😊 All devoured nom nom 😋

We ordered kebab chicken, 1 veggies kebab meal and 1 doner burger meal ( chicken) & 1 doner quesadilla chicken. The kebab veggies and chicken were awesome. Very fresh and flavorsome. The chicken quesdadilla was very oily so will not recommend. Overall, must visit to try fresh kebabs

Slow service and expensive, but very enjoyable after it arrived.

Really nice Kebab. The bread almost looked like a waffle. And the meat was nice and slightly crispy. Totally worth a try.

Terrible experience.... spring rolls full of grease and the boss box with maybe 2 tbs of meat.... never again....

My first time in German Doner Kebab, and it was lovely. I ordered a gym box and a Diet Coke, and the food came fresh with homemade sauces, everything for around 10 pounds. The lady who took my order was amiable with a big smile.

This place is horrible, just go to the one over at st James, bought spicy fries and they sprinkled them over the top. No meat at all. Basically 8 quid on chips. Fumming

Das soll ein deutscher Döner sein? Junge, das war der traurigste Döner, den ich je gegessen habe. Wo ist die Soße? Winzig kleine Portion, Denis Gashi würden die Tränen kommen. Man wird nichtmal adäquat mit "Chef" angesprochen. Und das an nem Dönerstag. Ihr müsst noch viel lernen.

Best kebab I’ve had and reasonably priced. Good app for ordering to table, fast and friendly service. Place is very clean and looks modern.

Get the OG Kebab if you want to taste the authentic and original Berlin Döner taste 🤯 Tastes like home!

Very nice lean Kebab. Nice location and atmosphere. Friendly staff.. love the flaming fries 🍟🍟🍟

As a German I can say the döner is pretty okay. We had the vegetarian döner which is filled with like a fried vegetable ball. You can get a menu with the Döner, fries and a drink for under 12£. And the portion is a very good size. The service was very friendly and cleaning the whole time!

The waiters were super kind and the service was amazing

Also an meine deutschen habubs die Inhaber sind nett. Das Ambiente ist auch ziemlich clean, aber bro wenn du das was du bekommst als deutscher Döner wertest biste einfach nur aus einem Pub geschmissen worden. Der Döner war bodenlos bad aber jungs kopfhoch vielleicht mundet es dennoch jemanden. Ich muss jetzt wieder mein Handy abgeben bevor der Wärter mir es abzieht.

Döner (Lammfleisch) schmeckt grausam. Es gibt keinen Krautsalat, keine Cocktail Soße oder zaziki. Das Fleisch hat noch nie Gewürze gesehen, und der Spieß sah aus wie 2 Jahre im tiefkühler gelagert. Der Döner bestand im endeffekt aus 1/3 fleisch, 1/3 rotkohl, EINER SCHEIBE Tomate, und ein wenig gehacktem Salat. Die Soße war eine Kombi aus den einzigen drei Soßen die es gab: Joghurt, knoblauch und scharf. Es war weder scharf, noch hatte es irgendwas mit knoblauch zu tun. Für diese Schande musste nicht nur ein Lamm sterben, sondern mein Portemonnaie war dazu noch ganze 8£ leichter. 9,30€ für nicht nur den schlechtesten Döner, sondern das schlechteste Essen das mein Magen je verdauen musste! Diesen Laden "German Döner kebab" zu nennen, ist eine beleidigung der deutsch/türkischen Kultur und der Laden gehört geschlossen!

Whilst visiting Edinburgh we came across this German Doner Kebab outlet in the Waverley Station complex. We were served promptly by a friendly member of staff. Delicious food in good portion sizes. Reasonable prices. Wheelchair accessible and disabled toilet nearby.

Ready to give up on German Donner Kebab. Ordered the Kebab box with salad and fries. Box full of salad and some fries but almost no meat. That is cheating the customer. My custom will now go elsewhere. Avoid this place.

Very efficient. Great food. Great kebab- not greasy- done right! Staff are great. No complaints!

Très bon kebab, même excellent!!! A faire.

This is gdk so it's fire. But this gdk isn't as fire as the others near, if you have the time I strongly suggest going to the other 2 near by. These fellas be skimping on the sauce.

Staff not careing and on there phone not paying attention

Absolutely amazing kebabs and 5 star service!! Don’t miss out if you’re a kebab lover!

I move new in Edinburgh So first time when i try GDK walvery is too good food and spicy But after that i went 2 times but food is not like that before first time when i came here i not happy with it why taste and food quality is suddenly changed in couple of month

Delicious food. No queue. Great service

The staff are very rude and disrespectful I had a really bad experience today

Der Döner ist besser als die deutschen.

Poor food and poor customer service and they overcharged my son for his meal and didn't admit they were in the wrong. Worse ever GDK I have visited and definitely will not return!!

Went there just after arriving in Edinburgh from Naples, ordered a kebab and a can of drink and was to pay in cash. Was told that there was no change available! Glad that there are other food outlets there capable of executing a simple transaction as we were quite hungry.

Visited on Tuesday the 28th, the staff were amazing, so helpful and kind after our little accident, big gold star for service. The food was very fresh and well priced, enjoyed our visit. Thanks again for all the help and understanding.

O gerente não anotou meu pedido direto e eu pedia promoção onde vinha 2 e ele só me deu 1, além disso não soube resolver o problema é eu me senti iludido pela promoção do dia, não volto mais nem recomendo atendimento horrível.

Lovely staff. Fast delivered meal . Top quality food cannot express enough how kind the staff are

Great food and excellent welcoming staff! Absolutely love it ❤️

The food gave me indigestion which I find strange given the high standards this chain tends to have.

Muy rico, buena cantidad y sabroso

German Doner Kebab provides delectable cuisine, complemented by the exceptional service of its staff, including the amiable and cordial Raja. I highly endorse a visit to this establishment!

La carne esta buena y el pan también. Es bastante diferente el sabor que el de España pero esta rico y merece la pena. Buena atención

great food and even better staff. the manager was super friendly and made us feel very welcome ❤️

Have been there about 5 days ago U know what? Today was amazing, like always ;) I don’t really get why u don’t have 5 stars?? Table service brilliant, check back to check if everything is okay done, my Coco kebab? Amazing P.s I would take better photo but I enjoyed it too much so totally forgot to take a pic before I almost finished. See u next week ;)

What it says an the door, it does, and quite well!

Another visit with my Lovely Wife at this Kebab place. Best of all across Edinburgh.Friendly staff, freshly made meals all the time. I would recommend having the tip jar for all Your efforts.

Just finished our coco kebabs. We have been many times in Lothian road, st James. But it’s one at Waverley has THE best consumer service, always friendly and the tastiest kebabs ;) always warm! Here we were never disappointed!!! Great place! St James in our opinion is at the end of our choices.

Great place, good food and drinks

Very rude and low quality staff members Never visit again

Okish donor. Not much taste and less meat. Meal deal is expensive at £9

Only called for coffee X3. Unfortunately there was no sweeteners available. Spoke to bar staff and someone went downstairs to check. But none were found!! How can this happen in a popular Weatherspoons establishment. Very disappointing!!

Not as interesting as other venues, but a good place to relax and eat comfortably.

Love this place, the food is always fresh and super tasty! The cocktail was delicious and you can get stein's here! Staff are always polite and friendly and the place is clean and well decorated!

They closing at 7pm on Tuesday not 9pm as website states

I have eaten in a few GDK’s and this one is up there with the best.

Pedi un keba y me pareció salado, por lo que el sabor no me pareció muy agradable

I have visited the German Doner kebab in waverly market , the food quantity given was extremely less when compared to the other branches. The highlight was customer service was extremely rude , there was a girl who was passing rude comments with the choice of the food we ordered and person in charge was also laughing with her . Never going back ever again.

Ordered just before my train and had about 10 mins before I had to leave, there was no visible queue when I ordered and the staff were just standing around not doing much. Despite asking several times politely where my order was I had to run away without my food otherwise I would have missed my train - very slow and poor service, you shouldn’t have to wait 10+ mins for fast food.

Great atmosphere and amazing prices

Quarter past 7 and she told its close for sitting .just take away . Plenty time for eat and go .kfc instead

Fabulous place! One day I hope to meet the Marketing Coordinator!

Finding Halal food In Edinburgh is normally difficult as it’s usually it’s scattered around, also expensive and it can be usually be disappointing but having GDK, absolutely hits the mark, and hunger, fresh and very decent price and highly recommend to anyone, the food is delicious 🤤 🥳🥳🎉🎉👏👏🤩🤩

I like the food but one of staff who introduced herself as supervisor was so rude and impolite I complained about food and warm drink but she said you can go to somewhere else and started arguing that i don’t have right to complain.

The kebabs here are always tasty, made to order quickly and with great friendly service!

“Manager” really needs to work on her customer service skills, terrible service got racially abused, charged me for something I never ate as they didn’t give me a refund for the order they got wrong, they don’t like critical feedback on their food, personally wouldn’t recommend this restaurant so disappointed and disgusted

Worst German donner I have ever eaten. Go to German donner in Glasgow atleast once a week never had a problem go to the one at Wakerley market food Hall in edinbrugh and it was disgusting. Sent me the wrong food I asked for they then changed it to the wrap I wanted except the wrap was stone cold no sauces kn the wrap no matter how hungry I am in the future I would sooner start then waste my money at this shop again

No customer service I ask 4 meals with chilly fries and only got 1 meal when ask he rudely said I not charge give me £1.50 I give salt this is no way to talk customers

Nice but not hot when it got table

Perhaps the greatest and most joyful kebab experience of my life. The staff were courteous and diligent, the facilities clean and well kept. And the food to a degree of care you would expect of Michelin. I highly recommend and shall be back for more soon!

This was alright for an establishment that is basically run from a shipping container. The food was good and the prices were decent, I would go back again.

I hardly ever do negative review, this time I have to. As we arrived from long trip we ordered 5 kebabs to ease our hunger, initially advertised for 18.50 h .....food arrived 19.50. There was NO sauce in the 5 kebabs, I phoned the shop and was told to order on the app for sauces!??!? GDK were good when they first arrived in Edinburgh, sadly not anymore.

Extremely uneven quality , turn over of staff must be super high. One day food is great another it is all cabbage and very little meat.Expensive too.

Went today during fringe, wondered why it was so quiet. Tiny portions that DO NOT match the picture. Now I know why it was quiet and being avoided for the other eateries. Expensive for what you got, will not be back. I wish I had read the reviews before I ventured near, I would have saved a fortune as I had to go elsewhere to eat as the German donner was no more than a starter portion.

Tasty but portion size is just unbelievable. Doner box with extra meat was simply kids size.
