I love GDK (albeit quite expensive) but you need to try a proper bossman kebab, completely different, may also leave you on the toilet in the morning but thats part of the true experience
Yeah, when everyone mentioned donner, I think we all presumed he knew it would be a chippy's donner kebab. Greasy and topped off with chilli mayo galore. Nevertheless, GDK is still a top quality donner but not the British experience we all hoped he was gonna have!
You needs try Jamaican/Caribbean food whilst your here it’s very popular. Recommendations are Jerk chicken, rice & pea, oxtail, fried dumplings, plantain, brown chicken stew, Mac and cheese coleslaw, ackee & salt fish
I don’t think Caribbean food is very popular, which surprises me as I love it, and I am Asian. I lived in Shepherd’s Bush for 9 years and missed Caribbean food when I left as the restaurant are not in every town like Indian or Chinese restaurants. The only issue is that it is very expensive.
Please please please! When you wrap up your time here in London, give us an honest summary of your experience and our food. If our reputation for terrible food is warranted then I can accept it, if it's from you as someone who's eaten their way through a good chunk of it. I've absolutely loved these videos. I hope you had the best of times here, on our little island.
I know what you mean. I was going to ask him if he ever bites inside his cheeks. I have a floater jaw and if I ate like him I would have very raw and sore cheek's😢
Should have went to a local Turkish/ Lebanese spot for your Kebabs (Shish and Doner). They usually have amazing grilled items as well such as wing, fish, lamb chops etc...Take a trip down "Green lanes" and thank me later✌
I lived on Green Lanes for best part of a decade, one of the reasons I stayed that long was for the food. Many of the Turkish joints were open 24 hours and you could get breakfast (Pascha soup with lamb, yogurt and garlic) and kebabs absolutely off the chain. The prices have gone up a lot in recent years as the area has become more gentrified. They're still good, though.
Agree, my favourite that I drive miles for is that & absolutely delicious. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. The heathens in our pub gets the skanky stuff delivered. I’m a lamb shish with everything type of person, have tried all their food & it’s so fresh & fabulous.
The way Ben took that second bite of the burger, you could see it in his eyes that he went from enjoying it to being angry that he hadn't eaten it before.
The mini-stroke you had at 3:28 was exactly me when I had one of those from GDK for the first time too. 🤣 There's a bar in Avondale - Chicago neighborhood across the street from Kumas Corner that has doner kebab and the doner fries box thing that's pretty good, but not as good as the one you annihilated.
'German Doner Kebab' isn't really the same as the typical British kebab. As the name states, it's a German kebab chain, serving German-style kebabs, and the waffle-looking bread is what they use. In typical Kebab shops in the UK, they use pita bread, or even naan bread, and the doner meat is made with lamb, not beef. You can get chicken and shish (lamb) kebab as well, but these will be skewers of marinated meat that are grilled. This is all served with salad and your choice of sauce. And the chili sauce is like the kind you got from Morley's, but each takeaway will typical make their own. So yeah, you haven't really had the authentic experience, but perhaps you prefer the German-style of kebab.
Now you need to try a more authentic lamb donor kebab with chilli and garlic sauce slathered over it. They are everywhere in London and just eat/uber eats. Another thing - Pie and mash and liquor sauce with chilli vinegar - proper traditional english meal Loving the London content Ben 🏴
Yessss I love donner kebab pizzas, especially when they have like green peppers and onions on em, like it has to be green peppers not red or orange, and it's so effing good everytime
Hi Ben just got to tell you that Donna meat is lamb. Now you have to try the Turkish Donna. Completely different. Its chunks of meat and peppers char grilled and wrapped in a Turkish bread. The meat is marinated before grilling. Yummy lamb not beef lol
@@Jin-1337 true, he did enjoy it, but he also said its the first kebab he's had. If you grow up eating kebab, you would know that GDK doesn't exactly touch the same level as independent takeaways up and down the country that also sell kebab. If you've never had a food before and you're served the worst version, you're probably going to enjoy it because you've no other frame of reference.
Please try apple crumble or sticky toffee pudding! Our two national dessert dishes, crumble with cream and custard and toffee sauce with sticky toffee pudding
Hey BenDeen, you had an enjoyable "Kebob" feast. I haven't tried GDK but when I do I will try the Doner Box Fries. For a good "Kebob" experience you need to find a local chip shop or local kebab that cooks kebabs properly that's not drenched in grease. You will love chicken shish kebab, lamb doner kebab with salad and chilli sauce inside a pitta bread and lamb doner with chips. The perfect weekend food after a night out at the pub.
Never had German doner but we normally go to Turkish kebab takeaway. My local serves it in pitta, choice of salad, house made chilli sauce (which is amazing) and some pickled peppers. Need to have a walk about and try a independent kebab house. Just saying
Duude you're doing it wrong ben, you need to go to an offbrand doner kebab place. There are places called "CHICKEN AND PIZZA" and they just sell doner kebabs and they taste way better than these branded ones
You must be too use to some cheap, expired meat then… how you telling him to go to some off brand, run down stinking shop that sells everything under the sun
lol, i’ve done that too, I could also add he’s also influenced my eating etiquette, I’ve be starting to take much larger chunks of bites in quick succession and even started saying some of his usual catch phrases 🤣 though I would say eating with such expressions helps to enjoy the food even more 😋
Döner Kebab is a Turkish Fast Food.The Döner Word is Turkish and translated "rotery". Original Kebab comes from Türkiye/Bursa 19th century was the First Kebab in the Ottoman Empire.Turkish Kebab comes later to Germany in the 70s from Turkish Migrants today is the Famous Fast Food in Germany but Overall in Europe gives Döner Kebab.
The best kebab I've EVER had in my life is from a Turkish restaurant opposite the train station in Kingston-upon-Thames. Forget the name but the quality of the meat there is just... on an entirely different level. 11/10.
@@mubarakaminu9850 Yup! That's the one. Haven't tried anything else on their menu because I normally went alone to get a late night kebab here and there but it all looks delicious tbh
Listening to hearing you eat with headphones on this time is like listening to someone walking through a rained out muddy Glastonbury 😆 glad you love the kebabs though
Please try Scouse. It's a stew that is really popular in the UK (especially Liverpool where the Beatles and myself are from) Love the recent videos man!
I'm not entirely sure when people told you to try kebab, they were talking about the German chain. I think they were talking about the many takeaways in the UK that sells kebab, and usually different kinds like beef, lamb, pork, chicken, shish
the strong and garlic sauce is a must for me. but was that all the sauce you got or did you choose how much sauce you wanted. because that amount is only enough for half a kebab.😃
as a turkish-german, i have to say that you gotta have it in Germany. the way it's eaten inside the bread with the meat, veggies, and sauce, was created by a turkish immigrant in Berlin. maybe even try it in Berlin, specifically, bc that's the original of this version. and people say it's different in Berlin, which i have yet to try. although i live in Germany, Berlin is a little far... maybe someday i get to try a Berlin original :) also if you ever go to Turkey, you could try it there, it's different though edit: since my comment was misunderstood: i am not saying he should go to Germany or Turkey for a Döner. but more like that’s an info to keep in mind for when he ever plans on visiting Germany, maybe specifically even Berlin, or Turkey. for him and everyone who might be interested in this info.
@@Sb-mj3zk depends what part of Turkey. I would agree from the tourists places but you go to the east side of Turkey to a non tourist place and its the best I've ever had.
Yeah, fries are a certain style of chips, the thin hardly potato often fried type are fries whilst a chip is more chunky version. I'd love to see you try pie and mash, cornish pasties and scotch eggs as they are distinctly british foods.
One of those items decimates my stomach so props for chowing down all four. If you ever go back to GDK, you've gotta try all the other options. The chilli cheese bites, the meaty spring rolls are god tier for dipping and the perfect combo is Cheesy doner box with fries, extra mix, flaming spice with the feta cheese on top...
For all the people in the comments saying Ben’s doing it wrong because he didn’t go to a local independent chain…give the guy a break! He doesn’t live in the UK how is he supposed to know the local spot. You can pick a random one but you guys know it’s hit and miss 😂
Thoroughly enjoyed watching Ben. I really would be interested to hear from you M the foods you sorely missed the most when you leave the uk. You must have a top 5 ?? 🔥🔥🔥
We have a similar thing in Aus to the kebab n chip box, HSP! If you're ever down, definitely try some and you'll find the best in Melbourne (being biased haha)
If you ever get to Canada, you have to try the "donair". Inspired by doner kababs, it's a wrap containing meat (beef, chicken, and/or lamb), tomatoes, onions, and "sweet sauce", which gives it a tremendously unique flavour.
Only found ur channel before this London trip and have watched every minute of every review since 😂 It’s great stuff! Just FYI though, doner meat is lamb 👍
Doner and Chips is such a good combo. It's a shame they didn't sauce it up for you tho. I usually go with ketchup on the doner meat and mayo on the chips. It's a wild combination
I haven't had it for a long time but doner meat and chips is my go-to at a kebab shop. The key is finding a kebab shop who have 'decent quality' meat (as much as it can be) and at least half decent chips. When I have bought a good, generous doner meat and chips I've struggled to eat it all.
@@annother3350 That's rare. Most tend to buy theirs from the same bunch of suppliers, hence why it's difficult to find one whose meat is decent quality.
You need to go to a proper local kebab shop and they let choose what ever salad and then the sauces are crucial to a kebab, I usually have garlic sauce, ketchup, chilli sauce and barbecue. Literally gotta go all out when it comes to the sauces.
GDK is a global chain that is even available in the states, you need to go to your local kebab shop and ask for meat and chips with all sauces and the vegetables of your choosing Also you need to try Pepe’s, its better than Nando’s
Never had GDK gotta say I'm a little disappointed you didn't go for a proper kebab, from somewhere a bit more local and not a chain for your first one , but this has made me want to try GDK
Yeahh it'd be fun, whenever I see videos doing british snacks they always do stuff like marmite, and I'm here like is that even a snack?? Loads of people don't even like or eat marmite and yet its presented to others like it's a super common thing lmao
Ben, i really enjoy your videos - watching them makes me wanna eat all the wrong foods (but I can't because I'm 44 and I don't want to have a cardiac arrest within 15 years)....just to say, I would encourage you to revise the kebab...there's a whole plethora of Turkish, independently run, kebab houses all over London (not sure where you are in the city, but it doesn't matter - you'll find one). Don't limit yourself to donner kebab; I recommend trying their kofte, lamb, shish, chicken shish...in fact, I'm sure there's a mixed kebab (and you can have all the meat in the pita bread)...that's a true representation of kebabs in the UK (not limited to London)
i always like the vegetables in kebabs or burgers n shit it just gives it a nice texture n crunch and also makes me not feel like total a piece of shit while eating lol
Once he wakes up with a kebab on his pillow he will earn his British card. Bonus points if it is from somewhere miles away that you have no recollection of ever being in 👍😂
I have been to GDK many times. The quality is always very good even if comparatively expensive. I have had some doner kebabs from independent shops which are better, but I've also had a lot worse. If you have a local kebab shop you've bought from before and know is good then by all means go there but otherwise GDK is a safe option.
Please try burger & beyond it’s a chain with 4 shops & voted london’s best burger i’ve seen aall your burger vids this will clear it on another level!!!!
Donna and keybab is how we pronounce it haha. Doesnt even need to be GDK. Most chip shops will do a good doner , it really really hits after a night out. Yoghurt mint and chilli are my go to sauces
No. You're supposed to try it from a local kebab shop not a doner chain 😂

Only found ur channel before this London trip and have watched every minute of every review since 😂 It’s great stuff! Just FYI though, doner meat is lamb 👍
i'm with you on small menus places with large menus tend to do a lot of things badly.
German Doner Kebab…smh lol
I hope he tries a local kebab shop one before leaving the UK.
Doner and Chips is such a good combo. It's a shame they didn't sauce it up for you tho. I usually go with ketchup on the doner meat and mayo on the chips. It's a wild combination
I haven't had it for a long time but doner meat and chips is my go-to at a kebab shop. The key is finding a kebab shop who have 'decent quality' meat (as much as it can be) and at least half decent chips. When I have bought a good, generous doner meat and chips I've struggled to eat it all.
@@jaysmith2858 My local Turkish make their own Doner and it blows any other Doner away.
@@annother3350 That's rare. Most tend to buy theirs from the same bunch of suppliers, hence why it's difficult to find one whose meat is decent quality.
thats a dutch thing. called kapsalon... and doner is from germany
Tommy sauce on your kebab, criminal behaviour.
You need to go to a proper local kebab shop and they let choose what ever salad and then the sauces are crucial to a kebab, I usually have garlic sauce, ketchup, chilli sauce and barbecue. Literally gotta go all out when it comes to the sauces.
GDK is a global chain that is even available in the states, you need to go to your local kebab shop and ask for meat and chips with all sauces and the vegetables of your choosing
Also you need to try Pepe’s, its better than Nando’s
I love how he pronounces it. In the uk it’s pronounced ‘Donna’. A Donor is someone who leaves their organs to other people 😂
I've never heard a more American pronunciation of doner lmao
Doh-ner keh-bahb
doughner
Never had GDK gotta say I'm a little disappointed you didn't go for a proper kebab, from somewhere a bit more local and not a chain for your first one , but this has made me want to try GDK
I like the way he just dives into his food……no messing about.
I think a episode of trying different UK snacks will be good
Yeahh it'd be fun, whenever I see videos doing british snacks they always do stuff like marmite, and I'm here like is that even a snack?? Loads of people don't even like or eat marmite and yet its presented to others like it's a super common thing lmao
@@puttingmyphoneoncharge im presuming that ur american, Marmite is basically the same as vegemite with a bit of added thickness and slightly saltier
3:43 Drunk Food. I can lean into that. 😁
10:15 Yes Sir; Drink 🍺
13:58 You gotta do food challenges. Eat for free. 🥩
I've seen GDK around a lot of places but personally I love to eat the local independent Turkish kebabs. 😋
Ben, i really enjoy your videos - watching them makes me wanna eat all the wrong foods (but I can't because I'm 44 and I don't want to have a cardiac arrest within 15 years)....just to say, I would encourage you to revise the kebab...there's a whole plethora of Turkish, independently run, kebab houses all over London (not sure where you are in the city, but it doesn't matter - you'll find one). Don't limit yourself to donner kebab; I recommend trying their kofte, lamb, shish, chicken shish...in fact, I'm sure there's a mixed kebab (and you can have all the meat in the pita bread)...that's a true representation of kebabs in the UK (not limited to London)
Doner 😂😂 that's so funny, yes it's spelt like that but we all pronounce it Donna Kebab like the girls name.
Any local kebab spot beats GDK imo
GDK is incredibly overrated
Best ASMR food channel on RUclips mate 💯🔥
blud eating like he's been rescued off a mountain
😂😂😂😂
You just made me want a kebab, and I’m not even hungry 😂
Classic Donner meat is made with lamb but still looked really good. Try pot noodles next lol
lol yessss and chicken super noodles
Dont. Its shite noodles this been kept in a cup for months. Really disgusting
My family member works there (in uk) and it’s so yummy!!
*YO GDK IS GOATED‼️🐐*
🥙Bogus🥙
You can't beat a Donner kebab on the way home from the pub.
Its not advised but people certainly do, lettuce and garlic sauce trails all the way home
i always like the vegetables in kebabs or burgers n shit it just gives it a nice texture n crunch and also makes me not feel like total a piece of shit while eating lol
If ur ever in London again go try M.E. kebab near Paddington they have rlly good kebabs try the lamb chips and salad combo and try their skewers
Ain’t nobody told you to eat doner kebabs from there 😂
Broo should of went to a Turkish kebab van and got one😂 atleast try a proper lamb kebab from a kebab van or local kebab shop off camera when you can
You’re right, Ben. This is the ultimate “drunk” food. I’m old and have been doing it for years. Enjoy brother 🙏🏻
Once he wakes up with a kebab on his pillow he will earn his British card. Bonus points if it is from somewhere miles away that you have no recollection of ever being in 👍😂
Kebab and the juice of the lady next to him that he met in the taxi rank you mean
I have been to GDK many times. The quality is always very good even if comparatively expensive. I have had some doner kebabs from independent shops which are better, but I've also had a lot worse. If you have a local kebab shop you've bought from before and know is good then by all means go there but otherwise GDK is a safe option.
Please try burger & beyond it’s a chain with 4 shops & voted london’s best burger i’ve seen aall your burger vids this will clear it on another level!!!!
You must try a battered marsbar before you leave. It's found in some chip shops. You're welcome in advance.
Lol
Battered marsbar is disgusting
@@HShango sacrilege!
Donna and keybab is how we pronounce it haha. Doesnt even need to be GDK. Most chip shops will do a good doner , it really really hits after a night out. Yoghurt mint and chilli are my go to sauces
