    What’s great about your channel is that you are honest, you pull no punches and are frank in your assessment and clear about what works and what doesn’t. Your specificity helps a lot, including mentioning the price for each item. It’s very refreshing which is why I always enjoy your reviews. I know if you like it, I’d like it. If you don’t I’m pretty sure I won’t. Simple as that!
    I’m also really glad to see your channel growing leaps and bounds. Cheers

    Hi Gary,
    I know the Istanbul Barbecue kebab shop in Teddington and I agree with you. They have always fresh salads, tasty kebabs, wonderful chips and chilli sauce. You should have tried also their Shakshuka, which I believe is one of the best in whole London. I once went into their kitchen by mistake and was surprised how clean and tidy it was. This explains their Food Hygiene score which is a 5 for many years. It’s my family’s favorite place to spoil ourselves at least once a week after a tiring day. Congratulations to the team and the owner 💐👌🏻👏🏻

      GDK doesn't even do "German" döner kebabs right. I spent a year in Hamburg and the kebab shops there are mostly amazing. A lot closer to the ones I had in Turkey. What GDK puts out is marginally better than most high street post-pub drunkard fodder fare but that's a low bar. It's nowhere near what you'll find in an actual kebab shop in Germany. And even further away from a Turkish one.😢

      Yes that's exactly it in a nutshell, the way Turkish people do kebabs in Germany is incredible, GDK seem to be just a chain that have tapped into that concept but the best analogy is you end up with a McDonald's type experience as opposed to an American Diner burger!

    Afternoon, Gary,
    I am not a huge fan of kebabs, but the traditional Istanbul Kebab looked fantastic, but the German kebab didn't look appetising at all, especially when it was served "cold". But another great review, mate, spot on as usual and keep up the great work! It's really a pleasure seeing your channel grow! Have a great rest of your afternoon and have a wonderful weekend, bud.

    • @GaryEats
      @GaryEats  Год назад +1

  • @crabapples1995
    @crabapples1995 Год назад +58

    German doners, particularly those from Berlin are incredible. There’s one or two independent places that come close to the Berlin experience in London, but it’s certainly not GDK which is sloppy, flaccid and mass produced in comparison to what they are supposed to taste like. In Germany the salad is crisp, the sauces are light and herbal and the bread is fantastic. I love a good London kebab too !!

    That salad from Istanbul kebabs looked so amazingly ice cold and fresh my PC screen nearly froze up (in fact I nearly got some de-icer). It looked a really beautiful kebab too , even if the pitta did look a little like cream crackers. A definite 10 from me. As for GDK.. There is nothing more uggy than a cold greasy kebab. You have shown once again how you consistently deliver honest reviews and always filled with such variety. Thank you for this great channel.

    Hi Gary and Mr Cameraman, brilliant comparison clip today.
    My first comment is that kebab has to be 'LAMB' it has to be, beef, pork, and chicken just don't cut the mustard and if you want that type, go to the Iceland shop.
    On impressions as soon as i saw the German kebab shop i believed it was going to win hands down as it was amazingly clean and tidy and looked the business.
    What a shame about the poor quality of meat and the fact it was luke warm, shame on them.
    As for the Istanbul restaurant i was not surprised the were a clear winner the Turkish just know there stuff when it comes to kebabs, on saying that this is the first place iv seen not putting the meat in a pitta, that did surprise me.
    Great vlog as always Gary, i look forward to my Gary Eats fix every few days.
    Chris.
    PS- Shout out to Mr Cameraman he did some amazing close up's and filming on this one.

    I absolutely love a Doner Kebab and agree the Instanbul one looked great, just a bit unusual that it didn’t come with a complete pitta bread as is normal. I would’ve thought the German version would be good as I know a lot of Turks moved to Germany. I suspect it’s a location thing as I’ve seen other GDK reviews that have been great. I can seriously recommend Harringay (Green Lanes) as the Kebab’s there are amazing. Not sure if still available but hopefully they are, the charcoal grill Kebab restaurants are just fantastic and I’m sure are totally authentic Turkish. You will not be disappointed if you visit. I spent many years in that area and pretty much always dined Turkish!

    Gary, I have to be honest I tried the GDK for the first time last year and found it was really good hot fresh and tasty, my local kebab shop tends to always give you pre cooked meat from a pot of hot water not knowing how long it’s been sitting there, and not cheap,when I asked him for fresh meat he got the hump. So I suppose you can’t take a snapshot and make a conclusion. Anyway I’m booked into the Bombay delight next week on your suggestion 😊

    • @GaryEats
      @GaryEats  Год назад +3

      It’s very much dependent on the chain you visit. Some might be good and some not so good. That’s fantastic news Tony, I hope you enjoy. The restaurant itself is superb and I think you will love the food, please let me know how it goes. Cheers mate!

    • @evostu
      @evostu Год назад +3

      I'll also add that the GDK branch we use is absolutely brilliant as well. Everything cooked fresh, we've never had a bad meal there. I think what you have to accept here is that like any franchise you'll get good ones and bad ones along the way. What you've done in this video is compare a great traditional restaurant run by (probably) people who know the food, against what is in essence the McDonald's of the kebab world with servers who don't know the food they're serving, just how they're to package it.

    • @muhtadaali8847

      Well its usually fresh. So what happens is, they put up a big donner bought from a supermarket. Cook it. And store it in the hot pot.
      If you want to taste traditional in house made then visit Istanbul shops. If the owner is Asian. Then 99 percent its not in house made

    Hello Gary, I have certainly enjoyed this video. I have stopped visiting German Donner Kebab for the fact that as you mentioned in the video where fries are cold and as well, the meat is also cold too not even luke warm. The portions are too small for the price you are paying. It is amazing to hear you enjoyed Istanbul BBQ as the food looked amazing and the portion of food for the price you paid is worth the month.

    Hi Gary. Very nice video. I thought I left a message last night after watching, but apparently not (think one beer too many). / So the first kebab and surroundings are clearly top quality. Just such a nice plate for sure. [Aside - there are a couple of Kebab vans I go to from time to time, not often but I do visit. They are also top quality - everything is on show, the salad is amazing and the whole van looks bright and clean. As a teenager I used to only visit the vans after several pints (!), but of late I really enjoy the odd Kebab of the van!]. / That second Kebab - well THAT reminded me of a bad kebab from a van. Not to be repeated. Cheers, Mark.

    Hi gary . I think you was alittle harsh on the German kebab . Ive had that home delivered a few times , and to be honest i thought it was better than the local ones i walk too (i tend to get the meat , salad , bread , and sauce delivered separate ) that way its not a sogy pitta and limp salad etc mess ). I feel the gaff you went too was well , i think its a case of some are good some are crappy . As for the traditional kebab houses , again some are good and some are crappy . Keep doing the vids , hopefully when you get more subs , that should pay for your cuisine exploration.

    I have to say Gary, I’ve tried the GDK, at a couple of places and I’m not impressed. Traditional Doner all day long, but not often do you see it cut fresh. It largely is taken from a steel pot which keeps the slices warm. When you get one cut fresh in front of you, it’s the tops.

    Well now I fancy some donner meat, but the Turkish type, with that lovely salad, the way they do the red cabbage is delicious. The bread I don’t think was pitta it was a Turkish flat bread and is the same as the bread we get from our local Turkish restaurant and is cooked exactly the same as the bread you had. Like you I think I prefer pitta but that maybe Greek rather than Turkish. A very good honest review as always, I know which I’d choose

      I tried my local GDK and it was revolting, next to no sauce, meat or salad. However that was about a year ago now and I have noticed in this video the bread is now thinner as when I bought it the bread was thick, which was a problem as the little sauce given soaked into the bread and none on the meat or salad. The meat given was only one strip of beef and the rest chicken (though not really meaty as they were crispy strips), the salad was not fresh, the fries were unseasoned and they gave me a sauce that tasted like coconut.

      Sorry Chris. The usage of the word fresh was probably incorrect, I mean that instead of leaving it in a pot and then taking it out, they actually sliced it from the rotisserie which personally I much prefer.

    I lived in Germany for most of the 90s and I used to go frequent a Turkish food truck. Their donor kebab’s were completely different from either of those. They served it with a soft flatbread, the meat looked more “roasted” and it was sliced fresh onto the bread. Had a little salad, tzatziki sauce, and red pepper flakes on top. The fries were extra crispy and served with curry ketchup. Germans loved curry ketchup. I haven’t found another kabob that compares to that! I remember it cost around five Deutschmarks. Köstlich!!

    In Turkyie you get the kebab served as the plated version Gary - with differrnt types of bread on the side.
    If you want a 'takeaway' type kebab, ask for a kebab sandwich !

    Hi Gary. Great to watch your review.
    Born and breed in North East London and a few places for you to check out.
    The Best Turkish Kebab on Stoke Newington High Street is famous for its Doner and Mangal 1 on Arcola Street is known as one of the best Turkish BBQs in the UK and having eaten a million kebabs (feels that way) I must say it is wow. 90% of the time there are queues outside of both places

      Yes, I've heard it's excellent. I'll try and do it soon

      @@GaryEats when you do go Mangal 1 I would recommend the mix grill as you get a bit of everything and the hot aubergine starter which is wow.

    Interesting comparison. I was thinking of trying German Doner Kebab but will stick to a local independant shop.

      You should stick to your local, Nick. Thanks for watching!

    Barbecue on Teddy High Street is excellent, hard lamb chops a few weeks age plenty meat on the chops and a good place to eat when visiting the Masons Arms.

    As I can only see your meal (not being able to taste it) I think that the Istanbul place looked a lot more appealing than the German Doner Kebab place. No excuse for cold food & overall I didn't think it looked as good as the Istanbul one. Chain restaurants tend to be underwhelming and independent places are more often than not better especially if they are family owned & run as they take more care with food quality & presentation. My thoughts anyway from past experiences. I love a good kebab or as they call it in Adelaide a Yiros (originally called Giros but no one could pronounce it so it was changed to Yiros). Price at Istanbul place is very comparable to my favourite place here. Good video Gary.

      Completely agree Robert. I've had many Australians in the comments already saying that you do fantastic kebabs. Have a good weekend mate.

    Did you score them this time Gary or did I miss it. Also that second one would have got a refund .

    • @GaryEats
      @GaryEats  Год назад +1

      I didnt score them this time Kathryn as I don't usually do that in comparison reviews but if I was going to then it would be 8 for the first and 3 for the second!
