The Ultimate Guide to Vegan Kebabs
Vegan kebabs are kinder to animals, better for the planet, and they taste better. Whether you’re looking to indulge in a pitta packed with flavourful veggies or some saucy plant-powered protein, we’ve gathered a fantastic range of eateries to choose from. Drum roll … here are the best vegan kebabs in the UK:
'Babs
Glasgow
Glasgow’s ’Babs offers a Med’ Veg’ Gyros Wrap featuring charcoal-grilled & garlic-brushed sweet peppers, mushrooms & courgettes inside a Greek pita; with cherry plum tomatoes, onions and spicy vegan mayo for a veg-forward kebab experience.
Beelzebab
Brighton
Visiting Brighton for the day? Head over to The Hope and Ruin, where you’ll find Beelzebab cooking up a vegan storm in the pub’s kitchen. Tuck into their namesake dish, Beelzebab, curated with seitan döner meat that’s served with fresh vegetables, chilli sauce, and homemade tzatziki. Otherwise opt for The Big Gy, a flavour-packed pitta filled with strips of VVings, fries, salad, and tzatziki. Yum!
Döner Summer
Leeds
Inspired by the Berlin street-food scene, the founders of Döner Summer levelled up the takeaway favourite and brought saucy vegan kebabs to Leeds. The menu is packed with vegan döner kebabs, burgers, fried “chicken”, and more. It’s hot stuff!
GBD Doner
Manchester and Liverpool
This shop introduced the first-ever vegan döner on a spit to the UK, making it a worthy winner of a Vegan Food Award and gaining rave reviews. This vegan upgrade on the classic kebab experience can be enjoyed in a toasted tortilla, a box with slaw and salad, or in a toasted brioche bun.
German Doner Kebab
Nationwide
Following the rise in demand for plant-based meals, German Doner Kebab (GDK) introduced the sensational OV Kebab – a plant-based upgrade of its OG Kebab – featuring pulled soya fillet expertly infused with GDK’s signature spice blend. It’s served in handmade toasted sesame waffle bread with fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, onion, and red cabbage.
I Am Doner
Harrogate
I am Döner makes it all the more tempting to grab a plant-based kebab with its wide range of options that regularly outsell their animal flesh items, and it’s easy to see why. The Voner Seitan Kebab packs vegan döner meat and crispy fried veg into a freshly made flatbread. Falafel kebabs, vegan burgers and nuggets, vegan cheesy chips, and potato tots are also available, along with creamy shakes. Are you hungry yet?
Seitan’s Kebab
Manchester
Pop down to this fully vegan stall and select from the varieties on offer, including döner, shawarma, and falafel. Choose your döner as a wrap, loaded fries or rice dish. Located on The University of Manchester’s campus, this eatery is helping students stay fuelled for studying and spare animals at the same time.
The Big Kebabski
Devon pop-up
The Dude delivers. This popular vegan stand with kebabitude offers strips of savoury seitan with all the toppings, including red cabbage mint slaw, baba ganoush, bright and aromatic plum sauce, creamy garlic Alfredo sauce, a variety of chilli sauces, and smoky “bacon”.

This all-vegan favourite brought plant-powered döner on a spit to London. We recommend the Unity Döner Classic – thick shaved döner kebab loaded with shredded iceberg lettuce, pickled cabbage, sumac onion, garlic mayonnaise, and more. You can also choose döner-loaded fries, have it as a burger, or a bowl with house slaw and all the toppings.
VEGAN HUB

This small but mighty family-owned shop is a popular local stop. Its best-selling vegan döner can be enjoyed as loaded fries, in a burger, or in a wrap. What’s more, you can enjoy their famous vegan döner from the comfort of your own home by ordering the product through their website.
