In 1989, Mr Ali Engin launched the first Origin Kebab (OK) shop
in Hyperdome Shopping Center, Loganholme Queensland.
Queenslanders had not yet seen nor heard of a kebab. After a fierce
sampling exercise, Queenslanders embraced Origins Kebabs. It was
a roaring success. To this day Origin at Hyperdome, is recognised
as one of the most successful kebab retail shops in the country.
Within 3 years Origin Kebab was operating in 4 locations between
the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
