20 years ago we created the Doner recipe that everyone tried to copy.

A small takeaway called Bladez of Doner in London will be adding its flavour to what is the UK Halal scene’s latest food trend: döner.

Except that this new eatery, which opened earlier today on Romford Road in Ilford’s Manor Park, is claiming to be the original that “that everyone tried to copy”.

“20 years ago we had a döner shop. It was the first of its kind. Our customers came from all over London. We set the standard for a generation,” a representative told FtLion.

The menu itself of course is everything doner, ranging from doner ‘n’ chips, burgers, and doner rolls, to doner pasties and Mexican quesadillas and tacos.

“Even today when you ask yesterday’s 20-year-old (today’s 40-year-old) in the area they will all tell you about the best spot they loved.

“The recipe remained in the family and was never shared. And over the years we saw many try to recreate what we had done. And credit to them. They innovated and moved the döner market forward. Everyone trying something different.

“But now we are back with that original recipe. And we can’t wait to reshare our passion for flavour with the world again.”

The Halal döner scene has seen a number of new businesses launch over the duration of a year including Kitchen 37, London Doner Kebab and Doner Cave alongside heavyweights German Doner Kebab.
