Really good food. A bit light on staff. I went on a Thursday night and they had two people preparing food, but only one person (who also was doing stuff in back) to deal with customers. Also DEFINITELY not cheap.

German Doner Kebab (GDK) offer halal certified chicken & lamb kebabs that are delicious & tasty. Kebabs are juicy & has nice seasoning. Packaging is nice & overall appealing and appetizing.

Good doner! There was a little bit of wait once we ordered but the flavor was worth the wait 😋

First visit, first german Döner in New York. It was really good and the people who worked there are really friendly.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The fries were HOT! Just how I love them. We had the Original kebab meal and it was a very generous serving. Meat and chicken filling was hot and tender. The salad was fresh and delicious. Very happy to recommend this place.

I had the veggie doner with extra veggie patties (Carla was the nice lady at the register) and first time having doner and we loved it!! Definitely recommend!

Top quality food, with a great service. It’s difficult to get this kind of food where I live, so I’m happy it was next to my hotel and I stumbled across the place.

Great spot for a quick visit! The bread in the Kcal kebab was incredibly soft and tasty—I loved it. So happy to have found this place. Plus, the food is Halal!

We visited German Doner Kebab next to Herald Square on 6th Avenue and had a great experience! We ordered the Gym Box, Rice Chicken Bowl, and a Wrap — everything tasted awesome, fresh, and flavorful. The service was also excellent — very friendly and quick. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

I have wanted to eat here since I found this place in Scotland last year. It is now open and OMG, I was happy. Chicken Donner’s are the bomb, and getting a Donner Box is incredible without the carbs. I enjoyed the Donner wrap with extra meat. I was very impressed that they were able to wrap it. Seating is minimal, but this is Manhattan. The menu is pretty much the same as in Scotland. Was it worth the wait… YES! Go eat here

The Doner rice bowl(extra beef) is a bit oily for me but this doesn’t applied to the German Doner kebab (extra beef). The bread goes very well and blend it out very well. They also do buy 1 get 1 free Doner Kebab on Tuesday, it’s one of those places that both me and my coworkers go often.

I had been wanting to try German Doner Kebab for a while, and overall I was pleased. It’s not the best doner I’ve ever had, but it’s definitely good — tasty, juicy, with nice sauces. The place is marked as halal, which is great — it’s nice to see more places like this around. I also want to highlight the service: our food was prepared much faster than I expected, which was very convenient. Overall, a great option for a quick and tasty meal. Recommend!

My wife wasn't able to find the German Doner Kebab (GDK) concession stall when we visited the huge American Dream Mall earlier this afternoon, so we went into their store that we chanced upon at 6th Ave & W 37th St, on the way back to our hotel from the TKTS booth in Time Square. My wife had the GDK classic meal with beef meat, real potato fries & a bottle of water and I had the classic with chicken & beef meat. Both meals were delicious and were just what we both needed for a light evening snack and well worth the wait😋 The store was clean, the staff were very friendly & helpful and there was a glass window next to our table at the back of the store, which let us see into the kitchen area to watch our meals being prepared. We really enjoyed the meal in our first visit to a GDK store and we would happily go back to another GDK store again

I visited the restaurant around 1:30 PM on the 2/3 and ordered a rice bowl, but after waiting for 30 minutes, I was told it still wasn’t ready because they had run out of rice and were still cooking more(at least for another 15+ minutes). I ended up having to switch to another item. Many of other client also got their order in 20-30+ mins. I’ve been here many times, and it’s always slow. There seem to be enough staff in the kitchen, but they often appear disorganized and unsure of what they’re doing. The menu isn’t complicated at all, so I feel the issue lies in poor workflow design and mismanagement, which leads to these constant delays. That said, the food is actually delicious! I just really hope management can improve operational efficiency. As a fast-food-style restaurant, it shouldn’t take this long to get an order. Please streamline your processes—your food deserves better execution!

Meat quality was fine, but the overall experience was disappointing. The restaurant was clearly understaffed and very underprepared for rush hour. They were out of rice and multiple sauces, and we were told it would take 40 minutes for a simple sandwich because they did not have enough ingredients ready. I understand it was crowded, but this level of unpreparedness felt unprofessional.

My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. The food was mostly vegetables, and there was no type of meat available at all, which was not what I expected. In addition, the taste was not good and the overall quality of the food was poor. Unfortunately, this was not a pleasant dining experience, and I would not recommend this place.

They were out of chicken, which can be ok, but then they sold me a meal (Sandwich+soda+fries) and their ice machine was operating. I asked them to fix it and they easily just responded by “it’s not working” and didn’t do anything about it. Also, the foos was tasteless, I had a lot of better tasting doner sandwiches before!

Either your take your customers and business seriously or don’t even start. I ordered from Uber eats and this was my experience ; - I think that when you order from applications they don’t care about your order a lot because you are not there on spot to complain. - I ordered half fries and half rice bowl, they added literally 4 pieces of fries ! Are you kidding me at this point ? Half a bowl fries is like 4 small French fries pieces ? - I choosed “their option” to remove the red cabbage and spicy, but the sandwich came full of red cabbage ! Are you kidding me ? It’s your own option, not even an extra request or more from my side. - The offers on Uber eats are fake ! I ordered A meal that costs 51 USD, after the offer it costs 34 USD and guess what ? At checkout they said they need 17 USD extra for ‘ other services ‘ !! I tried to order the same amount of food without the offer and it end up being 50 USD total with ‘ other services and taxes ‘ ,. so the offer is Fake !! They even add bigger porsiyon if you don’t choose the offer, forget about the Buy 1 Get 1 free , it’s a scam. Absolutely a 0 star worth experience. I know you guys can do better , but this specific experience is 0 stars , sorry !

I ordered the bowl, thinking it’ll be like gyro halal but it was the oilest, most nauseating, low quality meal. For $15 you’re better off getting it from a cart or the countless other eateries that sell bowls, but are better quality. I feel sick after that.. 🤮🤢

I had one of the worst dining experiences ever at this place. To start, they don’t even provide napkins to customers. When I politely asked the cashier about it, she literally said, “I don’t know, that’s not my job.” When I then asked the manager, his response was even worse: he claimed that customers “abuse” napkins, so they just don’t offer them. Seriously? The problems didn’t stop there. They advertise their döner as 100% beef, but what they serve is clearly a mix of beef and turkey, and it barely tastes like meat at all. It’s bland, low-quality, and absolutely not what they claim. The restroom was another disaster: • No hanger to hang your coat, so you have to juggle everything. • No paper towels either — just another basic necessity missing. But the biggest issue was the manager’s attitude. When I calmly raised my concerns, he acted defensive and confrontational, almost like he was ready to start a fight right there in front of other customers. He didn’t care about their presence, didn’t care about good service, and certainly didn’t care about resolving the issues. Overall, terrible food, terrible service, and shockingly unprofessional management. I absolutely do not recommend this place. There are far better options nearby where basic respect — and napkins — are still a thing.
