Premium chain German Doner Kebab is set to open its 143rd restaurant in the Metro Centre.

The chain already has a stores in Sunderland and Newcastle - and they’re set to bring their locally sourced vegetables and premium cuts of meat to more shoppers.

Simon Wallis, CEO of German Doner Kebab, said: “I am thrilled to officially announce plans to bring the unique GDK taste sensation to the Metrocentre Shopping Centre. GDK is revolutionising kebabs across the UK and I am confident we will continue this trend in Gateshead. GDK offers a premium dining experience with game-changing kebabs that are made fresh daily by our hard-working team powered by our fantastic franchise partners.

“We pride ourselves in ensuring that kebabs are done right and served in a modern and relaxed environment, making it a unique restaurant experience for all new members of the ever-growing GDK community.”

Asset Manager at Sovereign Centros, Noah Knapton, confirmed the new site and believes it shows the Metro Centre still has a high pulling power for international operators.

He said: “GDK’s new site at Metrocentre continues to demonstrate the pull we have to international operators, delivering choice across a critical mass of global and independent restaurants.

“Sitting alongside the likes of Five Guys, Slim Chickens, and Wingstop, GDK will provide a tried and tested grab-and-go offer, and one that will no doubt hit the right notes for our visitors as we continue to build a solid F&B line-up in Yellow Mall.”

The new German Doner Kebab venue will be located in the Yellow Mall, opposite the Primark. It will offer customers eat in options as well as a choice of delivery services including Deliveroo and UberEats ordering.
