German Doner Kebab (GDK) is bringing its fast-growing premium kebab experience to Elephant & Castle, marking another major step in its UK expansion. The new site will open this autumn on Walworth Road, offering residents, students, commuters, and visitors a bold, flavour-packed dining option like no other.

Known for serving high-quality meats, crisp, locally sourced salads, handmade signature sauces and its now-iconic toasted sesame waffle bread, GDK has reimagined the kebab for today’s diners. Every dish is 100% halal and freshly prepared to order, creating a fast-casual dining experience that delivers on both quality and flavour.

The new restaurant will sit in the heart of a neighbourhood undergoing one of London’s most significant regeneration projects. With excellent transport connections, a large student population, and a growing mix of residents and businesses, Elephant & Castle is the perfect backdrop for GDK’s fresh, elevated menu.

Simon Wallis, GDK CEO, said: “Elephant & Castle is a dynamic and diverse part of London with a real sense of transformation. Opening here is an exciting opportunity to connect with the local community while introducing them to our game-changing kebabs. Our focus has always been on quality, flavour and providing a new take on a nationwide favourite. Each new restaurant is a testament to the dedication of our team and franchise partners, and we’re excited to make Elephant & Castle the next place to experience Kebabs. Done Right.”
The restaurant will create 20 jobs locally and will serve signature dishes such as the GDK Doner Rice Bowl – a lighter choice with signature doner meat, crisp salad, and fragrant rice – alongside favourites including:

OG Kebab: Your choice of doner meat, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onion and red cabbage, served in handmade toasted sesame waffle bread, with three signature sauces
