Grab a Sandwich
Dubai-based quick service restaurant chain Doner & Gyros has now opened its doors in Chandigarh, launching its first outlet at the food court in Elante Mall. The brand brings the bold flavours of Berlin- and Chicago-style sandwiches to the city, combining international taste with a quick-service format.
“The brand is inspired by the iconic street foods of Chicago and Berlin. We serve hot, fresh, and authentic offerings. Doner & Gyros has expanded to over 200 locations in less than five years, and by 2025, we aim to reach 30 more cities across India,” said Prateek Sachdev, partner at Doner & Gyros, alongside Roadies star Ranvijay Sangha.
The “Doner”, a Berlin street food staple since 1971, features meat wrapped in fresh bread. The Chicago Gyro, originally Greek, involves meat cooked on a vertical broiler and tucked into warm, baked bread — first served in the US in 1965. Now, Chandigarh gets a taste of this global culinary fusion.
