I am Döner to launch special Camel kebab

The item is only available on Wednesdays this month.

To celebrate the launch of their first overseas store in Dubai this month, I am Döner is introducing a Camel special.

Founder Paul Baron has worked with a local food influencer to create a unique recipe putting this Emirati delicacy at the centre of the dish, accompanied by basmati rice and vegetables and topped with garlic mayonnaise.

Camel meat is commonly eaten on special occasions in many parts of the Middle East and is known for its low intramuscular fat, low cholesterol and high iron content.

I am Döner founder Paul Baron said: “Having had so much interest in our other unconventional specials over the years, it was clear we needed to do something extra special to celebrate this big milestone in our development. On our recent trips to the desert, we were very inspired to find a way of bring[ing] camel to the menu here in the UK – we’ll have to wait and see whether it will be our best idea yet, or just the effects of dehydration and too much sun!”

The special will only be available to buy from the stores throughout May on Wednesdays.
