Döner & Gyros was born and made its debut in 2014. Fast forward to today, It has a significant presence in the U.A.E with strategic plans to expand into the international market in the immediate future.
Döner & Gyros were born to bring two of the most iconic sandwiches to streets across the world. Both of these sandwiches originates from the Mediterranean, and have in common a love for the freshest ingredients and great tasting food.
However, each took a different journey in becoming famous. And just like any other good history story, the real person behind their fame is passionately contested with fortunes made and lost.
The gyro sandwich :
Originated from Greece, and although similar to the döner, have a distinct flavour of its own – and is always topped with freshly made tzatziki sauce. The gyro sandwich can claim its journey to fame through a Greek immigrant who opened his first restaurant in Chicago in 1965.
The döner sandwich:
Whose heritage goes as far back as the Ottoman Empire, were made famous by a Turkish immigrant Chef Mahmut Aygun who opened his first restaurant in Berlin, Germany in 1971 – and has since grown to the most loved "on-the-go" sandwich in Germany and Europe.
Although these sandwiches were famous, all were sold through independent mom-and-pop restaurants – with not a single global franchise chain delivering these sandwiches.
