Our story
From a small branch in Hürth to a European chain with 200+ branches — the vision of a döner lover: Mevlüt Kirdemir.
📖 How it all began
In 2019, Mevlüt Kirdemir wanted to combine his family's authentic döner tradition with a modern concept in Hürth (near Cologne). The first branch opened its doors at Bonnstraße 237.
Two years after founding, we moved to a franchise model with new branches in Cologne, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt. During the pandemic we expanded our delivery infrastructure; by the end of 2024 we had over 100 branches in Germany, becoming one of the leading döner chains in the market.
Today we serve thousands of guests daily in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Turkey and Saudi Arabia — with 200+ branches and a range of döner kebab, falafel, wraps, boxes and salads. In every branch we guarantee the same recipe standard, the same fresh ingredients and the same homemade sauce.
Fresh ingredients
Our vegetables come daily from local suppliers, our meat is processed by halal-certified butchers.
Fast service
Average preparation time 8-12 minutes. With online ordering, table QR and drive-thru in seconds.
Family atmosphere
Each branch is run like an independent family business — hospitality is our team's top priority.
