From DMs to 4 kitchens
Our story.
D’s Kitchen started by posting the day’s meals online. People messaged to say what they wanted — and wherever in London they were, the food got driven over.

He started D’s Kitchen by posting the day’s meals online and driving them across London — and built it into one of the first Somali-owned fast-food franchises in the UK.

Who we are
We love burgers!
Yes, we’re a burger joint — but not the type to be boxed in by labels. Smashburgers, Somali fried chicken, boxes built for sharing, sides, milk cakes and mac & cheese: there’s something on the menu for everyone.
One rule we hold ourselves to: food made to taste great. Smashed hot on the flat top, fried to order, every sauce made in our own kitchens — and every bit of it halal.
What we stand for.
Soul food with a Somali twist — and a few things we won’t compromise on.
100% halal
Every kitchen, every dish — no exceptions.
Made to order
Smashed hot on the flat top, fried when you order it.
House-made sauces
Every sauce is made in our own kitchens.
A Somali twist
Soul food carrying the twist we grew up with.
And counting
Four kitchens, one standard.
