Yorkshire favourite, Doner Summer, has been at the heart of Leeds city-centre since 2020. Specialising in plant-based goodness, the restaurant boasts a 100% vegan menu- inspired by the street food of Berlin.
After following their Instagram page for almost a year, I decided it was finally time to take the plunge and have a bite of Doner Summer.


My lunchtime companion and I, opted for the the special lunch deal, available in the eatery Monday- Friday, 12-5pm.
Our order consisted of a ‘classique’ burger each, accompanied by skin-on-fries. For an extra £1 there was the option to upgrade and add a special sauce- we both chose the ‘What’s Garlic In French’. Alongside our mains, we both had a Rhubarb & Custard soda, only an extra £1.50 each with the lunchtime promotion.
Situated in Leeds hotspot, Call Lane, it’s no surprise that the the tables quickly filled up for the lunchtime rush.

After sipping on our sodas, our food arrived-gorgeously presented. It was now time to take a bite.
The plant-based chicken was delicious. Crispy buttermilk-fried batter, with tender guilt-free ‘chicken’ inside- it tasted almost as good as the real thing.
The tasty seasoning sprinkled on the fries meant that they were the perfect side.
The meal for two came to just under £20, and it was totally worth it.
A meat-free lunch has a whole new meaning.
