New Sunderland restaurant set to open - selling gourmet kebabs!

Sunderland has been chosen to be the first outlet for what is planned to be a chain of Döner Haüs eateries.

It is the brainwave of restaurant company, Bavava, which will be transforming their former Papadoms site, in High Street West, to a new look kebab house.

Nathan Alexander, Brand Development Manager at Bavava, said: "In the last few years burgers have become virtually a fine dining offering becausethe quality has improved so much.

"And this is now what we intend to do with kebabs, which really will bear no resemblance to those that people eat on the way home after a night out."

Nathan and his team have travelled regularly to Berlin to discover the market and how kebabs are considered a staple food any time of day in Germany.

"The kebabs we ate in Berlin were incredible and that’s what we intend to bring to Sunderland," he added.

"At the same time we’ll also be bringing a range of amazing German beers so it will be a real dining experience with a difference."

Gemma Dishman, Marketing and Communications Manager at Sunderland BID, said it was great news that they had chosen Sunderland again to launch their new restaurant concept.

She said: "Sunderland’s restaurant scene has gone from strength to strength over the past few years and with initiatives such as Restaurant Week we are really changing

perceptions of what Sunderland city centre has to offer.

"Döner Haüs will be a welcome, vibrant addition to the city centre and we would urge everyone to try it."
