What to check

Ask which certifier is used and whether the chicken is stunned — see is doner kebab halal? and stunned meat.

How to check a branch

Halal status can differ between branches and change over time. Look for the certificate on display, check the brand's own website, and ask staff which items are halal and how they are cooked.

What we found about German Doner Kebab

We found no company-wide halal statement. A listing on a community directory quotes management of one London branch saying all of its meat is certified halal, and links a certificate that we did not open. Most other branch listings say no halal evidence is on file.

Because the evidence is branch by branch, ask your branch to show its certificate.
