Origins of the Sandwiches
Two legendary foods, one incredible fusion
The Gyro
Originating from Greece, the gyro features a unique flavor profile distinct from the döner, always topped with freshly made tzatziki sauce.
1965 - First restaurant opened in Chicago by a Greek immigrant
The Döner
With roots in the Ottoman Empire, the döner gained global popularity through Turkish immigrant Chef Mahmut Aygun, becoming Europe's favorite "on-the-go" sandwich.
1971 - First restaurant opened in Berlin, Germany
Historically, these sandwiches were offered mainly by independent mom-and-pop shops, without a unified global franchise. Döner & Gyros is committed to changing that by preserving their heritage through authentic recipes and quality ingredients, served fresh to delight customers worldwide.

Doner & Gyros India
At Doner & Gyros, we're not just serving food—we're bringing a piece of Mediterranean heritage to every plate. Our commitment goes beyond taste; it's about authenticity, quality, and health.
Since taking the reins of our India operations, I've witnessed firsthand how our 100% trans-fat free menu resonates with health-conscious Indians who refuse to compromise on flavor. We've grown from a handful of outlets to over 30 locations across 15+ cities, and this is just the beginning.
Our success lies in our people—the passionate teams at each outlet, our franchise partners who share our vision, and most importantly, the millions of customers who've made us part of their daily lives. Together, we're not just building a restaurant chain; we're creating a Mediterranean lifestyle movement in India.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to many more years of serving authentic Mediterranean excellence!
