German Doner Kebab (GDK)

Great food and good quality. The meat was juicy and full of flavour, and the bread was fresh and soft. I really liked the sauces and fresh salad. Service was quick, and the place was clean and well organised. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Definitely a good choice for a tasty, filling meal. 👍

I ordered a Gym Box (chicken + salad) and what I received was shocking: a container that was about 60% food and 40% empty space. For £7.89, this is not just disappointing, it feels like deliberate shortchanging. The portion was so small it bordered on humiliating – more like a snack than a proper meal.

When I asked for a refund, they accepted it, which at least shows they know what they’re serving is indefensible. But by then the damage was done – both to my wallet and to my trust.

This isn’t just bad service; it’s misleading customers and undermining the brand’s promise of value and nutrition. If top management cares about their reputation, they should urgently investigate what’s happening at this branch.

As for me, I won’t be returning. A meal should leave you satisfied – not insulted.

Till person behaviour wasn’t appropriate, and food quantity was very less put extra extra salad & potato chips rather than chicken which is the main ingredient.

I have been here multiple times, The boss box is amazing. You should definitely give it a try. Great customer service by dharmik. I would highly recommend this place

Most disgusting experience I’ve ever had. Opened up my mix doner sandwich immediately spot chicken skin. You’d think it’s a one off whatever. I proceed to go through the rest of the meat, come to find out 80% was chicken skin and raw chicken. Very disgusting. This place needs to be investigated ASAP.

All meat on our menu is from a Halal supplier.

Delicious food and service, we were kindly served by Sofiane who ensured our experience was exceptional. Recommended for those who want a fast meal and also great quality. Portions are very generous and this is our 4th time either eating in or take away.

I used to be a loyal customer, until I ordered food today - it arrived crushed and spilled, as if the packer was angry, they just threw everything in the package. To top that off, I found a piece of burned plastic wrapper in my doner. Pictures attached. This is unacceptable in any way, shape or form! I will not be ordering from them ever again! Disgusting. I thought you were professionals, not a filthy place!!

I bought a box with extra kebabs, but as you can see, there's nothing extra, just fries and five forkfuls (counted) of kebab. Luckily, I had some ham in the fridge to make a sandwich, or I'd be starving. First and last time I'll eat at your place.
Don't go.

I ordered the breakfast wrap and it was tasty and fresh. The atmosphere in the place was pleasant and comfortable. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Overall, it was a nice experience and I’d be happy to come back.

Terrible excuse for a kebab - even the most basic Bossman can beat GDK for flavour and value.
If you have ever eaten in Maroush or Balkh - prepare for the worst.
Grim.
Also, broken toilet.

At German Doner Kebab we serve lean halal meat (chicken and beef), imported from Germany, across all our branches in the UK. We also use the same meat supplier for our stores in the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Egypt, Sweden and Bahrain to ensure consistency throughout the German Doner Kebab international brand. Please ask our staff to see the Halal certificate if you have any doubts.

There was some offer for 1 week OG kebab for ,50% off. That not said is50% off meet and salad. I know was only 4.5£ but should be normal kebab not like that!!!I can see you answer for all review the same(robot)... Is not about German dinner kebaby in London!! Is about you in West Ealing!!!

I had an amazing experience at GDK(West Ealing). The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Their kebabs are a step above the rest. packed with quality meat, crisp salad, and delicious sauces that complement each bite. The portions are generous, and everything tastes freshly made.

The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and welcoming, with a relaxed vibe that makes it great for both a quick bite or a casual sit-down meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right.

If you’re looking for tasty food that’s both satisfying and reasonably priced, GDK (West Ealing) is definitely the place to go.
Highly recommended!

the food is disgustingly burnt i can smell the burn from a distance. UPDATE i just went back and they made me a new one i told them i want the chicken well done, pls let me know if i’m wrong but the second picture, the chicken is almost not done at all.

I had such a wonderful experience here! The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional—they truly make you feel at home. The service is efficient without ever feeling rushed. As for the food, it’s absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish I tried was delicious and clearly made with care. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and outstanding service.

Good kebabs, but when I order with „extra tomato” I get one slice as they don’t care much. And they don’t pick up the phone. Bad hygiene rating plus the extremely lazy attitude tramp the tasty food.

The kebabs are usually good. I had the rice bowl recently and you have to pay extra for a sauce that comes free with other box options or kebabs. Customer service in the venue was good but unfortunately the price for what they sell is not reflective of the product quality or quantity. Almost £10 for a rice bowl where you’re paying extra for sauce, and salad  and meat quantity is not reflective of the prices you pay for the quantity you get in a kebab compared for what you get in a rice bowl. The rice bowl was ok but I’ve had better tasting ones than the one I had at GDK Fulham, a lot of rice but little of everything else.

Absolutely amazing experience!
I recently ordered food from German Doner and I must say — everything was spot on. The service was fast, friendly, and professional.

Special thanks to Alekya, who served me with a smile and made the experience even better. She was polite, attentive, and made sure everything was just right.

The food? Incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was tender, the sauces were delicious, and the portion size was generous. You can tell they care about quality and consistency.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a proper, satisfying doner meal. I’ll definitely be coming back — 10/10!

I saw the girl working in the back open the bread with her hands without any gloves which is very disgusting and unhygienic, I haven’t been to GDK for a few years but I thought I would try it today and I was very much disappointed and I won’t be going back! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at GDK and I must say, it was an experience to remember. The food was absolutely fantastic The portion sizes were generous, making it a great value for the quality.
The exceptional service provided by Alekya. From the moment we walked in, Alekya was warm, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our dining experience special. She made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It’s not often that you come across such personalized and friendly service, and it really enhanced the overall experience.

I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy great food, with top-notch service to match.

I’ll definitely be back!

I recently visited German Doner Kebab, and the food was really good. The flavors were delicious, and everything was fresh and well-prepared.

One of the staff members, Alekhya, provided excellent customer service. She spoke very politely and treated all customers with great respect and friendliness. Her positive attitude made the experience even better.

Overall, I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this place to others

2 of the 3 items were supposed to have extra meat, but all of it ended up in the one that didn't ask for it. The box is mainly empty, had a total of  6 fries on the bottom and no cheese. Ate some of the meat until I saw the fries (or lack of) - picture attached

Disappointed
I ordered the doner box with fries and salad. Unfortunately, the chicken was very dry and tasted like it was just the last pieces or reheated multiple times. It was barely edible.

I’ve ordered here before and really enjoyed it—it was a pleasure to eat. But this order completely changed my opinion, and sadly, I will not be ordering again.

First of all, the nicest kebab I've had in ages.

Unfortunately, it was VERY expensive so I doubt I'd have one again, despite it being very nice.

Had to order off one those self service machines rather than any staff serving, and the staff weren't all that welcoming or friendly.

A bit more customer interaction, the odd smile, and a few quid cheaper and this place would be 5*

Amazing customer service thank you Saif & Joseph for going above & beyond for us, we made a last minute stop of for lunch. My little girl is an extremely fussy eater, they both had so much time and patience’s catering for us! You can clearly see they were both extremely happy with their food! We will be back…. By orders of my children! Thanks again guys!

Came here to have lunch while around Wembley.
The restaurant is pretty cool in design and the menu is pretty straightforward.
Quality of food was pretty good however despite the place being mostly empty, my food was cold when I received it. Same happened to my girlfriend, whose food was kept in the collection shelf for Deliveroo (which doesn’t even have a heater) for 10 minutes and was therefore cold.
Tables were really sticky and service was pretty basic since you order through the self service tills.
The food was pretty tasty but so heavy it sat on my stomach for 6 hours.
Quite cheap: a meal for one is around 10£.
First time I tried this chain.. might try it again but maybe not at this location.

All meat on our menu is Halal. Please ask our staff to see the Halal certificate if you have any doubts.

Modern dining room for Pakistani kebabs, curries and tandoori dishes

Lahori

It was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. Each dish was packed with flavour, and you could tell that fresh, quality ingredients were used. The service was also very good and the interior was very well designed showcasing Pakistani culture.

I had a great experience here. I have had Indian food many times. This was my first time having Pakistani food. I enjoyed the differences in the cuisine. The staff were very courteous. The food was excellent. Even though the place was slammed the food came out quickly. The restaurant was clean. Would happily come here again.

A highly authentic Pakistani restaurant which serves Indian cuisines as well. Food quality is very good and fresh food is served always. Delicious non-vegetarian dishes are their signature delicacies. And food is served with the highest cadre of hospitality, which is respectfully called the तमीज and तहज़ीब. Great Restaurant for food loving guests from Pakistan and India. And lot of localites can also be seen there enjoying the delicious cuisines.

The restaurant is near to Baker Street station and had a great ambience.
We enjoyed the delicious food and the best is Bhindi masala and chicken biryani, fish fry in starter, chilli garlic bread tooo,
Friendly and helpful staff
Quick service
Fresh food
Highly recommended for Asian people who love spicy food 🥘

Unfortunately, my recent experience at Lahori Restaurant in St John's Wood was extremely disappointing, and I am compelled to share my feedback. It is with great regret that I must say that the overall quality of the food was subpar, leaving me with the impression that it was preheated and frozen. This was a stark contrast to my previous visits, which had left me with favorable impressions.

The flavor of the dishes was particularly unsatisfactory and noticeably off. It is disheartening when a restaurant that one used to enjoy fails to maintain its standards of taste and culinary excellence. The lack of attention to detail in the preparation of the meals was evident, and it greatly impacted the overall dining experience.

To make matters worse, the restroom facilities at Lahori Restaurant were in an unacceptable state during my visit. The toilet was unclean, and the broken sink resulted in water being scattered all over the place. Such unhygienic conditions are not only off-putting but also reflect poorly on the restaurant's commitment to maintaining a pleasant dining environment.

Having been a previous patron of Lahori Restaurant, it is regrettable to witness the decline in both culinary quality and cleanliness. Based on my recent experience, I cannot recommend this establishment, as it fails to meet the basic standards expected of a restaurant. It is my sincere hope that the management takes immediate steps to address these issues and restore the reputation of what was once a favored dining spot.

Original Lahore Kebab House

Le Bab Soho

Undeniably the best kebabs we have ever had!  This is the bees knees of kebabs! Delicious Super Bowl! Lovely, gorgeous and helpful staff, fabulous food, super fast and efficient service …what more could you want!!

Great service. Delicious food. Fantastic experience!
(Loved the open kitchen setting, and certainly entertaining when sitting on the bar, but you will smell like kebab after leaving so grab a travel perfume bottle)

The food was delicious and the vibe was very cozy! I got the chicken kebab and they were able to make it gluten free with a GF wrap! They also had the option to make it with a salad base instead of the wrap. Definitely would recommend!

Food was sensational. Very flavoursome. Great relaxed vibe and the staff were very friendly, offering great service and diligence. I would 100% recommend

Been here and the Covent Garden location several times. The peppers as starters are a succulent meal on their own, get the broccolini and the chicken open wrap with the crispy chicken skin it’s very very delicious indeed. I’m not living in london anymore but this is one place ill sorely miss!

Really liked this, loads of flavours from different fresh spices in this. Chicken and lamb halal. .

I didn't like the last photo so posted this one. 🤦‍♂️

@halalfoodguy's review of Maison Bab Covent Garden on Instagram

Le Bab Covent Garden

Le Bab is one of the coziest spots near Covent Garden, with lovely staff and fantastic food. I went especially for their legendary paneer kebab—and it did not disappoint. Perfectly crunchy, paired with the right sauces, it was easily the highlight.
We also tried a few recommended starters, and they were absolutely mouth-watering.

We ordered a working lunch from Le Bab, was incredible! The Humous was smooth, the beef brisket was so tender with the lovely sauce on top. All the flatbreads were stunning. The food went down a treat, and was all prepared with love!

This review was made in connection with a toast promotion.

Pretty good food, loved the broccoli starter and the lamb kebab was also delicious. Fresh ingredients. Would have rated 5 with bigger portions. Friendly staff.

My family and I had a very delicious meal at Le Bab (Maison Bab).

We ordered the Dirty Bab, the Butter Panner Kebab and the Greek Salad. The portions of all the dishes are very substantial. The combination of vegetables and lamb slices with the different sauces made the Dirty Bab very juicy. The Butter Paneer Kebab was very creamy and delicious. The Greek Salad was a very generous serving, and complemented the tart and slightly spicy flavours of the other main dishes.

Also, we received excellent service from all the staff. The waiter, Urial was very friendly and courteous, and made us feel very welcome. All in all,  we really enjoyed our meal at Le Bab, and highly recommend this restaurant.

The aubergine sabich was DELICIOUS. So flavorful!! The hummus super food bowl was also fantastic. The only thing they could improve is the music. The vibe was very nice, but the Anglo pop and ballad hits playlist really had nothing to do with the rest of the experience.

All our lamb and chicken is Halal but please let your server know when you arrive so we can advise on any other items. We are trying hard to make the menu as inclusive as possible so sometimes there are other Halal meat options!

Mixed Grills all round! 🍗

This was our third time at Lokkum and since we enjoyed the  mixed grill before, we knew it would be wrong to go for something else! As always, the lamb shish was tender and the chops and Adana were full of flavour! However, the chicken shish was a tad bit dry. For sides, we ordered chips and bulgur rice, which was a little bland. The calamari was crunchy and we mopped the delicious cheesy mushrooms up with bread! The drinks at Lokkum are also lovely; we ordered a pina colada, mojito and strawberry daquiri. All in all, a great experience!

Lokkum Bar & Grill

Lokkum was very accommodating, really tailoring their private dining space for my brother's surprise with his friends. The food was great, with good options, and they let us have a DJ and decorate early. It was a great space and an even better team who helped us with everything from the planning to the actual execution. This is long overdue; it was in August, but it was so good that I was reminded to share this now!

The only thing I can’t remember is the waiter from that night, but he deserves a pay rise. He handled the load incredibly well and was very intentional and caring. Shout out to Ertan and his team that night!

I came here for my 21st birthday and it was hands down the best birthday I’ve ever had. The service was so fast and perfect, all items came out on time, we never had a problem and if we asked for something they would bring it to us straight away.

The fact that the whole restaurant was so busy, yet they still have perfect service and gave the best experience. It didn’t even feel busy to me until I walked around and saw. I was never sat there waiting. They really can handle so many customers at once. I’ve eaten out many times and seen busy restaurants struggle, but not this one!

The atmosphere was so welcoming and wholesome, they put a big sparkling candle on my cake when they didn’t have to, they reserved a huge spot for my party and put so much effort into this. The area they gave my party was so peaceful and serene. I loved it.

The effort was really noticeable, the waiters were so respectful. They followed all our instructions perfectly, the presentation of food was amazing! The way the restaurant looked was amazing. The food was cooked and seasoned so well! I don’t usually have lamb chops in Turkish restaurants but this lamb chop was so succulent, all the meat on the platter was soft and appetising. And the live show was spectacular. The lady who performed was very kind! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. It’s perfect for parties and big gatherings. I’m sure you will leave with a smile on your face, just like I did. They are all so hospitable and didn’t rush us at all. It felt very relaxing and peaceful here. Thank you to everyone who gave my family such a wonderful experience.

I took mostly videos because I wanted to catch the full beautiful place, so I will screenshot some of those to share here.

We came here for my husband’s birthday and overall the food was really good. Fresh, tasty and nicely presented. However, we specifically chose Lokkum because their Instagram mentioned live performances on Friday and Saturday nights, which felt perfect for a special occasion. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were told that the performance had been cancelled last minute. It was quite disappointing as I had looked through many options and decided on Lokum because of the vibe and the promise of live entertainment.

So while the food and atmosphere were nice, I left feeling a bit let down that what was advertised wasn’t delivered, especially on a night that was meant to feel extra special.

We booked Lokkum Bar & Grill for our Christmas dinner party for 16 people, mainly because of the advertised entertainment and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing.

Despite booking in advance, we were seated in a secluded corner of the verandah/conservatory, away from the main restaurant and entertainment. This was never communicated beforehand and completely undermined the reason we chose the venue for a festive group event.

Service was poor overall. Although our waiter Kesavan was polite and did his best, the bar service was abysmal. Drinks took far too long to arrive — to the point where food was served before drinks, which is unacceptable for a pre-booked large party.

To be fair, the food itself was nice, but good food alone does not make up for poor organisation, lack of atmosphere, and extremely slow bar service — especially for a Christmas event with a significant bill.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend Lokkum Bar & Grill for large groups or organised events.

Felt mixed emotions coming here. Returned after a few years and it just didn’t feel the same. We went at 9:45 (the restaurant closes at 11, the kitchen, at 10:15) and felt extremely rushed. Waiters seemed annoyed when we wanted to order additional drinks, were reluctant to give us the dessert menu because ‘the kitchen was about to close.’ With such a high service fee, you’d want to experience better service! We paid the service fee, of course, but felt the luxury of dining was spoiled by the constant reminders of closing time - even though we’d had ordered as soon as sitting down and left by 10:30. I wouldn’t recommend, only because I have paid the same bill at much nicer restaurants, with much better service and this wouldn’t be one I’d return to again.

On a positive note, the lamb Adana was wonderful, everything else, sub-par. Also, mocktails were not good!

I know many that always try going berenjak always disappointed as they can never find a table. They now have a new branch in London Bridge now. I visited without a booking a month or more ago. I’ve said it many times but berenjak is the only Persian restaurant I love. I tried many and not even one comes close, as well as would easily be in my top 5 restaurants, also the worlds best hummus ever, I mean everrrrr….
.
Pictured above are:-
🔳 Hummus (£6.50)
🔳 Koobideh (£16)
🔳 Jujeh Kebab Tond (Poussin) (£22)
🔳 Taftoon Bread (£3)
🔳 Barbari Bread (£3)
.
Let’s talk about my obsessive behaviour with this hummus. Honestly every time I have this it’s like heaven. Its not like any other hummus, this is totally different in taste and texture. They use black chick pea and probably loads of tahini. Why don’t anyone else use black chick pea lol. But yes no one can beat this hummus. If you know you know 👌
.
The Koobideh also the juiciest I’ve had. Soft and tender and full on juicy kebeb. This Koobideh and hummus is the perfect meal combo for me here alongside with their holiday bottle mirinda drink. Lol
.
Tried the new dish Jujeh Kebab Tond, which is a poussin chicken. This chicken is a must try, like hurry and try it. The most juiciest and flavoursome baby chicken you’ll taste. It’s got hints of spices and herbs, with the perfect char, this was faultless
.
If you guys haven’t still been berenjak, just hurry and order hummus for yourself and a Koobideh and maybe share that baby poussin chicken. And remember never ever share the hummus

@halalhunt's review of Berenjak Borough on Instagram

Berenjak Borough

A very recommended Persian cuisine in Borough Market. Lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food was amazingggg with special flavors.

It’s very popular, advanced booking is recommended. (Sometimes it’s possible to get on the waitlist if in the area)

Well worth a visit, reasonably priced for the quality and experience.

Great Persian cuisine in Borough Market. A lovely experience with big flavours, nice cocktails and lively atmosphere.

It’s extremely popular, advance booking strongly recommended. Sometimes it’s possible to get on the waitlist if in the area, but not guaranteed.

Well worth a visit, reasonably priced for the quality and experience. Good location by London Bridge and a cosy restaurant.

Menu changes, but anything grilled meat as well as the bread with the variety of small plates is amazing.

This place deserves all the hype it gets. Delicious food , beautiful atmosphere lovey Persian music playing in the back. Attentive staff , great prices. Really enjoyed our meal at berenjak and would definitely be back again.

The meat was juicy: we ordered a set menu that included 1 aubergine mezze, 1 hummus mezze, 2 skewers (one chicken and one lamb), rice, flatbread, and a small salad. We also had a dessert and 4 cocktails 🍹, which came to £200 (15% service charge included ). However, I wouldn’t recommend the cocktails since they were small and cost £15 each. Better options might be beer or wine ;) The service was fantastic. If it weren't for the cocktails, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

Good meal start to finish. The hummus alone is worth going for, as is the fork-tender koobideh kabab and ghormeh sabzi. Get both breads and lots of dips to start, then go for one of the grills and one of the stews. Very nice but with that said, it’s not mind blowing - enough to try at least once. Beautiful interiors and dining space, but reservations absolutely essential to enjoy table seating.

Some of our dishes are Halal and some aren't.

Hands down my favourite Kebebs/grilled meat in London from @berenjaklondon. A hole on a wall style restaurant bang in the middle of Soho. Chicken and lamb are halal.

@halalfoodguy's review of Berenjak Soho on Instagram

Berenjak Soho

Berenjak is truly one of those rare restaurants that stays with you long after you’ve left, offering an experience that feels both unforgettable and effortlessly special. From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone it’s the kind of place where the lighting, music, and overall vibe make you feel instantly comfortable yet excited for what’s ahead. The staff are genuinely friendly, attentive in the best way, and they make you feel cared for without ever being overbearing. Their knowledge of the menu and enthusiasm for the food adds so much to the entire experience. And the food itself? Absolutely incredible. Every dish is crafted with intention and flavour; you can tell there’s real passion behind the kitchen. Whether you’re going for a casual dinner, a special occasion, or just a night out with friends, Bering Jackal consistently delivers quality that feels elevated but still approachable. It’s the kind of restaurant where you find yourself planning your next visit before you’ve even finished your meal. The only thing to keep in mind is that you must pre-book  it’s popular for good reason, and getting a table without a reservation is nearly impossible, especially on weekends. But once you’re there, sitting in that beautifully curated space surrounded by great service, amazing food, and an atmosphere that feels both modern and intimate, you’ll understand exactly why it’s so in-demand. Bering Jackal isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience that blends flavour, comfort, and style perfectly. If you’re looking for a place that never disappoints and always feels worth the visit, this is the one.

This is too good! It is delicious more than enough! They broke my expectations and ruined my standards! I cannot describe it.

This was the best Iranian food that I ever tried. Definitely!

I waited to get a place on the bar outside, around 5-10 minutes, and they offered me a tea during that time. I was lucky because I came early and alone, other people had to wait more, especially for tables inside.

The staff were very very friendly and nice.

Prices are higher though! But I think even if they make it expensive more I will come back!

Must try!

Location was easy to find limited sitting. And bar table perched outside is the only spot available. If it was raining this would have made it impossible.

Food was great, some were okay but the chicken was tender and delicious. Definitely worth coming back and tasting the other menu items. Fresh off the grill.

Service was good, they made a mistake on my order and tried to rectify it. Staff are friendly but no one smiled behind the counter. Friendly and timely.

Our experience at Berenjak was absolutely wonderful, from the warm hospitality to the incredible food. Bart, the general manager, was especially welcoming and gave us excellent recommendations that really elevated the meal. The dishes were full of rich, authentic Persian flavors that truly stood out.

The only small downside was that the dessert recipe has changed. I really loved the previous version and was hoping to have it again. Still, everything else made for a memorable dining experience, and I’ll definitely be returning!

I visited Berenjak Soho at the end of last month and had the best experience. I booked a table for 5 for a birthday and the service was exceptional from start to finish. As a Persian myself, I can confidently say the food is truly authentic and absolutely delicious. We chose the lunch set menu (£35pp) which included a starter, bread of your choice, a main with rice or salad, and it was amazing value for the quality. I also had a cocktail which was the strongest I’ve ever had in the UK and tasted incredible too.

The team were so lovely and accommodating. They even let me come in before opening to drop off the birthday cakes which I really appreciated. All the staff were polite, friendly and created such a warm atmosphere for us. A special shoutout to Adam for being so kind when I arrived early, and to the two lovely ladies who served our table so beautifully.

Highly recommend Berenjak Soho — can’t wait to return!

Greek Pitta London

To me, a gyro is a gyro, they all kind of blend in. The gyro was fresh, though nothing extraordinary. However, the baklava was absolutely perfect.

The syrup had just the right consistency—not too liquidy—allowing the baklava to be beautifully balanced, neither too dry nor overly soaked. The flavor of the syrup was unique and delicious, and the ratio of walnuts was just right. They also cut the baklava the only true and proper way to cut a baklava in a triangle. The portions are also exceptional for Londons standards.

This is the best baklava I’ve had in London. Thank you—I’ll definitely be back!

Maybe I wouldn't bother that much to review thise if I wasn't from Greece.  But those guys made this a personal mayter.

For starters when you say on the menu that you have an authentic cretan ntaco, you must have the actual ntaco not some cruton made of baguette. This is not ceasar salad or a bruscetta.
The way it was presented was wrong the way it tasted was nowhere near how it supposed to and even the quantity was wrong.
Add to this the carbonised pork, just made this possibly the worst Greek food I ever had.  Places like thisgiives greek food a bad name. I m not being mean. I m just calling it as it is. Dog food at it's best.  Ntropn!

Ordered through Uber Eats. Requested to add extra hummus. The score would have been 5 🌟 if the restaurant added hummus. The salad portion could be much larger. The meats are excellent!  Lamb Chops cooked to perfection!

After trying it on uber eats decided to visit as its not too far from us. Staff was so nice from the minute you enter(especially Anna, she was so helpfull and smiley). Food was delicious,  and worth the money. Our 6 years old who is very picky with his food enjoyed it. Definitely recommend and will be back.

I recently had the pleasure of trying out a Greek fast food joint, and let me tell you, it was an absolute flavor explosion! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the enticing aroma of sizzling meat and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The star of the show at this Greek fast food place was undoubtedly their gyros. The succulent slices of perfectly seasoned meat, wrapped in a fluffy pita bread, accompanied by fresh vegetables and a tangy tzatziki sauce, created a symphony of flavors in every bite. The meat was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of charred goodness. It was a gyro experience that left me craving for more.

But it didn't stop there. The dessert at this Greek fast food joint was nothing short of stunning. I couldn't resist trying their traditional baklava, and boy, was I blown away. Layers upon layers of flaky pastry, generously filled with a sweet and nutty mixture, topped with a luscious honey syrup that added the perfect touch of sweetness. It was like a little slice of heaven on my plate.

Doner Cave- Tooting 

@donercave 

I tried out doner caves new naga infusion kebabs, for those who haven’t been here the main concept here is pretty much similar to GDK. 

This thing was like a flipping volcano in my mouth, I did request the kebab to be cooked very well done but some reason it didn’t happen even tho I was the only customer there & staff member said it would be fine. But the garlic sauce here is really nice too can’t fault that. Other downside was there wasn’t much kebab inside there was more tortilla than the actual kebab, I think if they were to cook these with onions too until it’s caramelised it would be miles better as well. I think this cost roughly £5-£7 I can’t remember now. 

Overall: 

Food: 7/10 
Service: 8/10, just ordering for takeaway so not much to comment about that 

Parking available on side road after 5:30 I think it’s free

@eafoodbae's review of Doner Cave Tooting on Instagram

Doner Cave

I know it’s a Donner  kebabs shop but They have flavourful momo’s made by proper Nepalese chef. After long time had proper momo with proper chutney . They have naga flavoured menu for almost all item. So spicy lover you can check in there. Big portion and  freshly made to order. Don’t forget to try naga wings super hot and tasty.  Open till late so night out people can step in unti 2am.

Donor Cave is clean, quick, and serves solid doner. Exactly what you want when you’re in the mood for a good kebab.

So usually rather happy eating here, but today (just now) the server probably couldn’t be bothered frying more chips and scraped up what left and gave me a half filled bag of chips! £12.50 for meal extra meat and only half filled bag of chips! Terrible, real let down!

The best German beef doner kebab in London for £7!  Very affordable price, delicious beef, huge portions, friendly staff and nice country/rock music playlist, brings me back to 2000s.

Considering 99% of so-called "authentic" kebab shops in the UK don't have beef options, this is the perfect place, definitely worth visiting!

A few colleagues of mine and I wanted to try out the joint, after seeing a good review of the place on TikTok. Ordered online (via their website) and had someone to collect. Between the time I made the order and it was collected, I had to make NUMEROUS calls. It was excuse after excuse; one minute it was “our website is down” so I had to give him the order over the phone, EVEN THOUGH THE MONEY WAS DEDUCTED FROM MY ACCOUNT. The second time it was “I still don’t know what you ordered”, even though I had already told him over the phone. 3rd time was she my colleague went to collect the items with a screenshot.

When the food arrived, an item was missing (coke - £1.20). and I called them to inform them, also requesting that they refund the missing item. The two options were:

1) They will give me the missing item when I next order (I don’t know when I’m next going to order, if I ever do after this experience).
2) I travel to their restaurant to get the refund in cash (I live over an hour away. Why would I travel all the way there when that costs more than the coke itself?)

I kindly requested for it to be sent back into my bank account and gave the details over and he said he’ll speak to the manager.

I called for an update, and the “manager” was EXTREMELY RUDE AND ABRUPT; raising his voice telling me to take it or leave it. And hung up on me. At first, I thought it was a network issue so I called back. The man was extremely rude again, when I’m requesting for what it rightfully mine as a customer, especially when you didn’t deliver 100% of what I ordered, hung up and blocked my number. For me, it’s more to do with the principle; you didn’t give me my money back and you want me to travel far for money in cash, when I paid on your website with my card details? That’s not right at all.

Overall, the food was very nice, but the service was appalling; the telephone manner of the staff member/manager? HORRIBLE. Do better!

Spice Hut Romford

I really enjoy the Romford brunch at Spice Hut. Every lunchtime during college, I come down for my favourite items on the menu. The staff are always friendly and consistently provide great customer service. One of the employees, Fahim, is especially helpful he’s always smiling and brings a positive atmosphere to the whole place, along with the rest of the team.

The only downside is that the prices have been increasing recently, and I’d love to see them go down again. However, even with the slight price rise, I still choose Spice Hut because the portions are generous and the food is a solid 10/10.

We had dinner at the restaurant in Romford Brewery around 7 PM, and it was one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. The staff were incredibly attentive and provided genuinely great customer service from start to finish.

But the real standout of the evening was the food. Everything came out perfectly warm, exactly what you want on a cold night, and every dish was cooked to absolute perfection. We’ve eaten here before and always enjoyed it, but tonight was something special. I don’t know what was in the air, but the chef was definitely in the mood because the quality was above and beyond anything we’ve had here before.

We ordered the Lamb Biryani, Tarka Dhall, Korma, Pilau Rice, and the best naan, soft, flavorful, and cooked flawlessly. Every dish was rich, balanced, and bursting with flavor. Honestly, it was amazing.

Highly recommended. We’ll definitely be coming back!

We ordered Mix Kebab Roll and Chicken Doner with Chips. Both were served hot and tasty as well. This is Halaal restaurant. When I visited during the weekend, it was very crowded and I struggled to get the seat.

Staff is courteous and helpful.

One of the downside was that there was cooking smoke over the dining area which degraded the dining experience. Eventually, staff had to open the door for proper ventilation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had an amazing meal at Spice Hut Romford tonight! The grilled chicken and lamb chops were honestly some of the best I’ve ever had in Romford – cooked perfectly, juicy and full of flavour. Friendly staff, quick service, and great atmosphere. Highly recommend this place if you love real grilled taste and fresh food! 🔥🍗🥩

The food at the spice hut is really good. All freshly prepared and cooked to order. I really enjoyed my sheekh kebab, very tasty!! Staff are lovely and polite too. Highly recommended.

Spice Hut

This was basically alcohol soak up food.
Was really looking forward to a meaty kebab , however what I got was a bread loaded with salad and not a lot of meat
Wont be back disappointed

Ordered via Uber Eats and received boxes that were almost empty, with very little food inside. Extremely disappointing for the price.

Visited on 05/09/25 around 11:30 AM. Ordered a Boss Box Jr (burger, fries, drink, 2 donuts). They first gave it in a bag instead of the box, and when I got home the sauce and donuts were missing. Staff seemed more focused on online orders than serving in-store customers. Worst GDK I’ve visited.

A portion size that's perfect for an ant. Packed with zero care. It's not my fault you hate your job.

So so good. Busy! Came in late at night, I liked that u could order on the screen things - helpful for decision making. Got the basic kebab thing - so good flavor. My boyfriend got the wrap, also good but I enjoyed mine more. Fries were good for sharing as well. Really hit the spot, could be considered a beacon in the night. Fives all around.

Used to order from them but after today order NEVER AGAIN !!! Ordered chicken doner chips and salad  box with extra chicken … salad I understand is cut sometimes in the day so is not so fresh but chicken super dry extra chard, notes of being recooked, old burn hard taste, chips same dry super hard as have been waiting long time next to the fryer to be served for the bin instead ended in my box . VERY DISAPOINTED !!! Usually I don’t review but this was shocking yack.

I’ve had two disappointing experiences at German Doner Kebab due to finding hair in my food on separate occasions—once in the sauce and again inside the kebab itself. While the service was decent and the atmosphere was fine, the repeated hygiene issues completely overshadowed everything else. It's hard to enjoy a meal when you're concerned about cleanliness. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

Visited this place recently and was really impressed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything felt well thought out from the moment I arrived. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about providing a great experience. The service was smooth and efficient without ever feeling rushed.

We ordered this for dinner and was very disappointed. We ordered the boxes so wasn’t expecting a huge portion. But I paid to get “extra” meat in my meal. I didn’t see any extra the box was only just half full. The meat was also cold and the chips were hard as rocks. Won’t be ordering from this branch again

I ordered vegetarian food online via Uber eats and they delivered a non-veg and I complaint in Uber Eats. They’re like now your order is correct and then I tried to contact with the restaurant and they are not receiving my call. I tried 15 or 20 times but they just directly cut the call. I spent at least £16 something and total two item is missing from my whole order. I take the picture so you’ll get to know and Worst service ever.

German Doner Kebab is hands down one of the best places I’ve eaten at recently. I came in with high expectations, and they completely delivered. The food is fresh, flavorful, and far beyond what you’d normally expect from a “kebab shop.” Everything tastes like it’s been prepared with care.

The doner meat itself is perfectly seasoned — not greasy, not dry, just right. You can really taste the quality. I ordered the Original German Doner Kebab, and from the first bite I knew why this chain is so popular. The combination of freshly baked bread, crisp salad, and their signature sauces makes every bite amazing. The balance of flavors is spot on, and nothing feels overwhelming.

Portion sizes are generous too. It’s satisfying without leaving you sluggish, which is exactly what you want when grabbing a quick meal that still feels special. I also tried the fries with their signature sauces, and they were just as addictive as the kebab itself.

The restaurant is clean and well-kept, with a modern look that makes it stand out from typical fast-food spots. Service was quick and friendly; the staff made sure everything was right and served with a smile. That kind of service makes the experience even better.

On top of that, plenty of seating and good vibes make it a comfortable place to sit down and eat rather than rushing out.

Overall, a solid 5 stars from me. German Doner Kebab is a must-try, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

I visited GDK Mile End today and was served by Atika — she was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, she greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome. She was friendly, attentive, and went out of her way to ensure our order was perfect. Her positive attitude and genuine care for customers really stood out. Thank you, Atika, for making our visit such a great experience — we’ll definitely be coming back!

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at the GDK in Mile End thanks to Kasey. She went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of and really made the whole visit special. Her friendliness and attention to detail were just top-notch, and she definitely deserves a huge shout-out!

The food was really good as usual but I found the staff quite lacking and disinterested. The person that took our order seemed misarable. I know people can have bad days but that’s no reason to make the customer uncomfortable. All things considered the food was really good as usual and my fabourites are the OG Doner and the Doner box and the spring rolls.

Loved the food—everything was fresh and full of flavor. The staff were welcoming and made us feel comfortable throughout the visit. served by Aisha she is such a nice person

Pioneers of American Halal Food and the famous White Sauce

The Halal Guys

Place was relatively quiet when I went so lots of seats. Person serving me was friendly and welcoming. Was a bit apprehensive when he told me the white sauce was good. So I asked for just a bit. After tasting, it was good and I went to ask for me. He smiled and told me I could have however much I wanted. Really appreciate the service. Food was above average. White sauce really is special. But the meats were pretty average. Rice was flavorful and moist. Will drop by again :)

They don’t accept cash payments.
The person who prepared my falafel wasn’t wearing any protection over his very hairy beard, which is absolutely against kitchen health and safety standards. I was honestly worried I might find a hair in my food. He also seemed unwilling to give me even a cup of tap water, though I only needed it to take my tablets.

The quality and taste of the food were disappointing, especially for the price. It was edible, but I’ve had much better hummus and falafel elsewhere. The pita bread was soggy and tasted like something pre-packaged from a supermarket, just warmed up.

Overall, I don’t recommend this place. Their location might attract people, but the restaurant was empty when I was there — and now I understand why.

I ordered from Ubereats. Cod was over fried on the outside and not properly cooked on the inside. Chips were not cooked enough. The beef patty was over cooked and turned intro rubber. Bun was completely squished. I asked for burger sauce and chilli Garlic. Got not chilly just garlic and no burger sauce. Also requested disposable cutlery but that was missing too. Food arrived late and very poorly.

Unfortunately, halal guys ain’t the same anymore. The first picture is the most recent one compared to the one I had couple of years ago. You can clearly see there is a big difference with chicken/meat gyro and the sauces. I have to say the chicken/meat gyro didn’t taste anything like it used to. Seems like they are using their own flavouring for the chicken and meat.

Same goes for the halal guys’ famous white sauce and red sauce. So it completely changes the flavouring. They are using their own version of the sauces which is a real shame.

I have been to the New York one and although London ones have never hit those heights. I still expected similar taste. It’s a real shame they haven’t stuck to the original recipe especially the sauces. Please bring back the original recipe and sauces.

Perfect portion and very delicious chicken and hot sauce.

I was reluctant to order but I am so happy with my food. The sauce and chicken are still the same as the old recipe, I love the spicy sauce.

Kebab Ye Beckenham

Great experience with Kebab ye,i had vegeterian dish,lovely staff
I definitly liked that, most importantly every food on their menu tasted grear

Very good restaurant and kind staff, and there is a place to sit.  The food is prepared quickly, they are very tasty.

The best Turkish shop we have ever been to. Service was amazing the food was full of flavour highly recommend will definitely be returning

Just that you are all aware this place is charging more on the till than is advertised on the menu might only be 5p more but how many other menu choices differ and when loads of people use this place it can add up

Good evening everyone thought I pop in in here again after the the owner said he would sort out the menu. Well that didn't seem to happen as I went in for chicken wrap that is £5.95. On the menu last time I was charged £6.00 tonight the chap working there tried to charge £7 so I think its time for the owner to sort out his staff or I will report this to fair trading standard This guy even came around the counter at me pointing at the chicken was he trying to provoke me

staffs were polite and kind, I was surprised by the taste of the food and we are very satisfied with our orders, thank you

Kebab Ye

A great place for a family meal!

Turkish Restaurants are always good places for groups and family meals due to the large platters they serve. We ordered a platter between 2 and also some Calamari. The Calamari wasn’t too oily and the batter was crispy 👌🏽 In regards to the platter, we were a little diappointed with the Adana, which is usually juicy and flavourful, but it was a little bland 😕 The Lamb Chops were good and so was the Lamb Shish. We weren’t huge fans of the Chicken Shish or Chicken Wings, though! .

Food: 6/10
Settings: 7/10
Service: 7.5/10
Overall: 6.8/10

@twopeasfoodies's review of Testi Stoke Newington on Instagram

Testi Restaurant

Amazing Turkish restaurant in Stoke Newington! The grilled sea bass was outstanding, perfectly charred, aromatic, and very tender.
The mixed grilled meat was also delicious and went really well with rice.
Portions are generous, and every main comes with salad and freshly grilled bread. Everything is cooked over charcoal, giving the food a wonderful smoky flavour, but the restaurant has good ventilation so there’s no lingering smell.
Friendly service and a great place for family gatherings or dinner with friends. Highly recommended!

Authentic Turkish gem in Stoke Newington! The 25-year-old charcoal grill fills every bite with incredible smoky flavor. We loved the massive Mixed Grill Platter – the lamb ribs were perfectly charred and juicy. A true taste of Ocakbaşı tradition. Highly recommended!

One of the best Turkish meals I’ve had in London — completely changed my view of Turkish cuisine!

A friend brought me to this spot in North London, and wow… they really know what to order. We got the Cold Meze and the Testi Lokum Kebab, and both dishes were incredible.

I still don’t fully know what Lamb Middle Neck Fillet is, but it was unbelievably tender — genuinely melt-in-your-mouth. You can also see the chefs grilling the meat right at the front, which makes the whole experience even better.

And I have to give a special shout-out to their bread. Two girls who rarely touch carbs absolutely demolished it. It’s slightly like naan, brushed with some kind of special seasoning… absolutely irresistible.

As soon as we walked in, we were drawn to the style of the place. The walls were decorated with clay pots, and the bright, warm colours made it feel like a tiny Middle Eastern museum. The soft lighting was cosy and perfect for relaxing and chatting with friends.
We ordered Chicken Sarma Beyti, Lamb Chops, and Grilled Sea Bass.
The chicken was tender inside a slightly crispy wrap, especially good with the yoghurt and tomato sauce. The lamb chops were cooked just right — not dry, not too strong, with a nice smoky taste. The sea bass felt light and fresh, with crispy skin and soft meat, and a bit of lemon made it even better. Together, the three dishes were rich but balanced.
The service was also amazing. The staff were friendly, patient with recommendations. It really felt like one of those evenings when good friends and good food make everything better, the winter time in London didn’t feel so hard.

We came here during the Christmas season for a gathering with friends, and this Turkish grill spot turned out to be an absolute hidden gem!
Testi Restaurant 🥂✨ really gives you that authentic live-fire vibe from a traditional Turkish charcoal oven — it’s the perfect kind of cozy happiness for a festive meal.

✨ Warm yellow lighting + the aroma from the grill = full Christmas vibes 🎄
✔️ Family recipe × Charcoal Grill
Their grilled meats are incredible! The flavor is so natural — not overly seasoned — and the meat is perfectly charred on the outside and tender inside. After the second bite I just couldn’t stop. 🤤

Pinar Grill

These people know exactly what they are doing and know how to make good food! In London it's like trying to find gold when  dining out. Whatever happened to this place? Most restaurants are absolutely trash and pricey. Pinar Grill never disappoints . Excellent food and excellent price.

I ate here yesterday, i ordered lamb chops, 5 in a portion, very generous, cooked while you wait, tender delicious! Highly recommend! I will be back!

Delicious, affordable and large portions.. place is clean, staff is kind and caring. This is my second time here. Last time i got a Lamb Chops plate were gorgeous. This time i got mix doner with chips. It is definetelly worth to come back again

Personally, I love this restaurant. I love the service, with its helpful, polite, friendly staff, and its amazing food. Even though I’ve moved away from the area, I still come all the way back here just to eat at this restaurant. The pretty, luxurious aesthetic makes it a perfect place to eat, whether it’s with family, friends or by yourself

First time visit. Clean open spaced feel layout. Service was quick with tea, Lahmacun & chips roll followed with rice pudding which was a bit fluid but very tasty. There is an open oven. Separate male and female toilets.
