German Doner Kebab to open new flagship restaurant at iconic London location

Brand’s 65th UK site to launch at The O2 in early July

German Doner Kebab is opening a new flagship restaurant within the entertainment district at The O2 in London.

Scheduled to launch in early July, it will create around 40 new jobs and be the fast-casual brand’s 65th site in the UK.

German Doner Kebab is currently forging ahead with plans to open 47 new restaurants in the UK this year, building on the 12 opened during 2020.

Daniel Bunce, German Doner Kebab managing director for UK and Europe, says: “The O2 has long been in our sights and to be launching our new flagship restaurant in such an iconic London location represents a landmark moment in the growth of GDK.

“Our game changing kebabs are revolutionising the kebab in the UK and we’re excited to be bringing a new fast-casual experience to The O2.” 

Speaking on behalf of Waterfront Limited Partnership, the joint venture between AEG and Crosstree Real Estate Partners, which own Icon Outlet and the Entertainment District at The O2, Alistair Wood, executive VP of real estate and development at AEG Europe, says: “We’re delighted to be opening the flagship German Doner Kebab restaurant at The O2 this summer.

“Their unique fast-casual dining experience is a great addition to our tenant mix, as we continue to diversify our offering for visitors with independent and well known food and beverage brands.”

Once opened, the restaurant will offer a full dine-in experience, subject to government restrictions, as well as takeaway and click and collect options. 

Delivery will be available through German Doner Kebab’s delivery partners.
