Handy

We came here on a Friday night as going to see a concert. The location is good and handy for the centre, we found it easily. The vibe inside was nice and bright with a plant wall behind frosted glass at the end. The staff were helpful. Enjoyed the Teller plate very much. Food came quickly and was tasty. Restaurant filled up quite quickly as the evening started.

Just delicious… 💫

Tried at VCO and while I was in Leeds - food is amazing!! 😍

(Excuse my photo, I had to get it to my hotel so it’s a bit squashed but still tastes incredible!)

Pros: Tasty, Restaurant looks lovely

Berlin Doner & Fried Chicken

So much choice, very vibrant fun decor, amazing service.

I wasn’t sure about the spicy sauce so asked for it in a pot instead of being coated . The portions were so big we ended up taking half of it home.

Would want to go back and try the burgers instead.

Bad Girl delivers a tasty dish

This place has a lot of flavour and kind staff. The soda bar was nice and went well with the yummy filling dishes.

Epic junk food!

I had Döner Summer on my list of places to visit for a while, so the expectations were high, and I'm pleased to say it hit the spot. I struggled to choose what I wanted to eat because everything sounded amazing, so I asked the server for a recommendation and ended up going for the Bad Girl teller. It looked and tasted amazing, and the portion was massive. I wish I lived closer so I could eat my way through the entire menu, and I'll definitely be back.

Pros: Fantastic food, Great music!, Large portions

Doner forever

Doner Summer has transformed greasy drunk food into a gourmet delight with their amazing kebabs. Their vegan take on this indulgent fare is both innovative and delicious. The restaurant's aesthetic is always inviting and enhances the dining experience. I'm especially sad that their Sheffield branch has closed, as it was a favorite spot for enjoying their exceptional creations.

Pros: Delicious Food, Well priced, Always friendly staff

Used to be awesome

Updating as back in Leeds this week.

March 2023:
Wasn't good. Totally different staff of course, how it goes.

Take-away service seemed to have taken over. We had to send one main course back as it was cold and not fresh. The cook did come out to apologise so credit for that.

The service was variable - of the two staff working one was very pleasant, the other seemed like she couldn't wait for us to eat up and leave.

We were the last table but it was a double birthday celebration. The more-bored server eventually walked over when we were finishing our drinks after the meal - didn't look at me or speak, entered the bill and put down the card machine in front of me and just stood there. It ranks amongst the worse service I've ever encountered and won't be going back.

Your mileage may vary... eat quick and don't delay the staff ?

October 2021:
Brilliant venue, decent tunes, lovely staff and great food.

Had a really nice evening at DS. The Korean Teller tray is head-nodding mmmm tasty. Can’t wait to visit again. Menus are online if you want to have a browse. Booking recommended for weekends I’d say.

The food is pretty healthy I reckon lots of fresh veg in most things.

Junk Food Fix

If you're craving vegan junk food, this is most definitely the place to go.

We shared the combo platter (fried chick'n, skin on fries, pickles, slaw and Korean 2.0 sauce) and the what's garlic in French burger, which were all excellent.

We also ordered a few house craft 1/2 pints and a soft flossi, which were refreshing.

Great staff and nice vibe. There's the junk food craving satisfied for a few months...

Pros: Great food, Staff, Vibe

Aaah so good!

When Doner Summer closed in Sheffield my heart broke... It was so nice to get my fix again! Had the garlic chick'n parm, and we also had the bad gal and salt and pepper fries. Tasty, filling and loved the sauces on the side -hunny mustard particularly dreamy !!

Comfort food

I had never heard of this chain and I was visiting Leeds and it was recommended . I went with colleagues (non vegan) and we all enjoyed the food . I had the buttermylk chicken and the flavours and textures were delicious.

Pros: Easy to follow menu, Great flavour and textures, Quick service

Cons: Pro or con; wasn’t obvious that it was all vegan

Amazing food, less amazing service

I’d love to give a 5 star review, because the food was sensational and well presented, however the service was disappointing. Staff seemed irritated when we came in to eat rather than ordering to takeaway and a 12.5% service charge was added to the bill despite the service being minimal in the first place. The only time our server seemed happy was when they were joking around with their colleagues.
The menu had a vast amount of options and the ones we tried were very tasty.

Pros: Great tasting food, Well presented

Cons: Service , Slightly expensive

Fave place ever

Me & my partner LOVE DS! We eat here every date night! The food is delicious, the service is great and the drinks are amazing!
Portion sizes are always super generous so we often share a few dishes, or we take the leftovers home! They reheat perfectly in the air fryer! #Veganuary

Pros: Great choice , Great value for money , Great service

Honestly disappointed!

I was SO HYPED to eat at Doner Summer - I see it posted so much by the northern vegan content creators I follow, and because I live down south I had been waiting patiently for the opportunity. And it was just fine. Maybe I didn’t pick the best option, but I wasn’t really impressed with it. It was a lot of sauce and I didn’t like the texture of the fake meat.

Top Notch Nosh!

Popped in for some scran on a working lunch and took my taste buds to party town with the Garlic Chilli Chick’n teller tray!
So fun to be able to choose absolutely anything and everything from the menu! Can’t wait to come back and try more naughty treats 🥰 #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan, Flavourful , Unique!

Cons: Not very healthy 🫣

As amazing as ever!

Having lost the Döner Summer location in Manchester I couldn’t resist visiting when we were in Leeds. The food is always amazing and portion sizes are really good!
I also love the sodas, the rhubarb & rosehip is particularly good.
We didn’t book and we warned the wait for food would be long as the weather was terrible so there were a lot of online orders. Food came much quicker than expected though and was definitely worth the wait!
I particularly love the chicken parm teller tray.
