The famous restaurant chain has been called the ‘worst in the world’ because of its ‘awful’ food in a really mean review. We all have some restaurant chains we don’t like, but maybe not enough to write such a nasty review.
Last week, well-known food writer Giles Coren reviewed a big restaurant chain, and his harsh words have spread everywhere. He called the chain the “worst in the world” and said the food was “utterly hideous.”
And which chain did he talk about?

It’s German Doner Kebab, a fast-food place from Scotland with more than 100 restaurants all over the planet.
German Doner Kebab is run by a Scottish guy named Athif Sarwar and its main office is in Glasgow. But when Coren went to one of their places in London, he really didn’t like it.
In his review for The Times, Coren said the chicken kebab he had was “utterly hideous” and tasted like “factory vegetable oils” and “burnt roadkill.” He also described the food as “slimy.” Coren also didn’t like that the restaurant used touchscreens to order because it felt unfriendly, and he said the table where he sat was “greasy,” which made him feel “disgusted.”
The food critic’s unpleasant experience continued when he went to wash his hands in the restaurant’s bathroom. He said he couldn’t use the downstairs loo because it was broken, so he had to climb “over piled sacks of onions and crates of tomatoes, slabs of Coke and Pepsi and a towering 5ft stack of 10-litre tubs of Heinz Mayonnaise” to get to the disabled toilet, which had a faulty door.

Adding to this, Coren criticised the other customers at the eatery, saying they were the sort who would order a kebab after a night out. He wrote: “Apart from the lady at the drinks counter, it was only men in there. About 20 of them. All single, aged 25-40 in black and grey hoodies, hunched over their midday kebab.”
“These are the same guys who queue outside these places at night, after the pub, ready for a drunken fight, except having much less fun. I didn’t see a woman enter or leave in the 45 minutes I was there.”
When it came to rating his visit to German Doner Kebab, Coren gave the service a zero out of 10, the cooking a one out of 10, and the “vibes” a minus nine. This meant an average score of -2.97 out of 10, which he called “overgenerous.”
