Tried doner box, it was okayish, slightly on the pricier end given other options in market like LaZord, the vibe is nice though. Zoya is a lovely kind staff member.

Overview
German Doner Kebab (GDK) on Renfield Street sits in the former Odeon cinema building and opened around March 2019. It closed for a refurb and ownership change in 2024, then relaunched on 28 September 2024 under Strava Group. It remains the city-centre flagship; there is a second Glasgow site on Byres Road. The model is fast-casual German-style doner: slow-grilled meat with a 20-herb spice blend, handmade toasted sesame bread, salad and three signature sauces. Core orders are the O.G. Kebab, wraps, burritos and doner boxes; plant-based OV kebabs are on the menu. Delivery menus put standard kebabs around £10. Dine-in, takeaway and delivery (GDK app, Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat). Late hours are a selling point for students and nights out — the brand’s locations list has shown overnight closing times, though the store page sometimes shows earlier hours, so check before you go. App offers include £5 Fridays on selected mains and a student discount when advertised.

The entire place smelled like a toilet. The worst part is the meat. Try tearing the donor. It’s more like a sausage than meat. Rather go for Subway. At least you know you’re getting beef there.
