German Doner Kebab

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.

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.

I always prefer GDK because of its taste and good portion, but just now i tried in old street gdk which really disappointed me. I not quite sure how they measure the portions but it seems very small this time. On top of, table was very sticky and not clean enough. Hopefully they will consider the issue..

I’ve been to this place a few times before and honestly I was never that impressed.Because there is always something like meat is cold or very dry etc. But this time — wow! The wrap was absolutely delicious.Everything was fresh perfectly wrapped, meat was not cold and full of flavour. I even asked who made it just so I could say thank you😃 they said his name  FAISAL.   This was the best wrap I have ever had hare.

All meat on our menu is from a Halal supplier.

German Doner Kebab (GDK)

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!

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!!!

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.

I ordered a food from here. When I started to eat I noticed the food has a weird structure. Looking at it closely it looks like the food was chewed and big chunk was thrown into the box covered by the meat.

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.

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

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 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!!

Excellent service, very fast. Food tasted well. We had a breakfast wrap and an OG kebab. Salad is fresh and it is not too loud.

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.

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.

The service provided by Maneesh GDK was excellent. Everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail. I really appreciated the timely communication and smooth experience. Highly recommend!

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

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!

Tasria, was very sweet and embraced a positive aura around herself. This approach leaves a lasting impression on customers and a positive impact on the business. It's not just the well grilled food but great customer service that leaves a mark of success and entices customers to return to the establishment.

The Food was well cooked and the Chips Crispy. The seating arrangement is just right and leaves plenty of room for customers to move around the shop floor unlike some other outlets that have a very congested seating arrangement

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.

Tried GDK for the first time and was really impressed. The kebabs were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The sauces and salads added a great touch. Staff were friendly, quick, and made the whole experience smooth and pleasant. Will definitely be coming back!

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

Ideal spot for lunch. Enjoyable meal, food was tasty, menu had a few different options that I would come back for.

Service was good, price was very reasonable. I went solo and had a nice spot by the window overlooking the courtyard area.

Wouldn't recommend for a dinner but definitely ideal for lunch.

I had the best time here. The restaurant was cute, the waitress was really lovely and friendly, and the food was delicious. I recommend the flat iron hummus (my favourite), the smoked honey halloumi and the butter chicken kebab. It said on Google that Le Bab was started by chefs who previously worked in a Michelin star restaurant and honestly you can really tell in the food, it’s incredibly well made. I’ll defo come again.

We got the broccoli starter, the Dirty Bab, and the chicken shish kebab. All were incredible! The two kebabs were so different and gave us the opportunity to try a range of flavors. We have been before and we will be back!

Amazing service out of this world food from the lamb steak to the oh so amazing butter chicken roll. I will dream about that food and will definitely be back soon. One of the most amazing restaurants in London. Very authentic and unique flavours not found in many other places.

Good reliable food and good options of non alcoholic beer and cocktails. Service was great. We had the salad bowls and the kale was perfectly crunchy.
Highly recommend the:
🔥 lamb adana or chicken
🔥 pistachio kulfi

The place is extremely loud so you'll need to shout even in a group of three but it was a fun vibe.

Modern kebab house serving sensational dishes made from scratch

Up market kebabs from @eatlebab in Kingly Court. Another halal restaurant as jointed kingly Court. Pictured is the Lamb flat bread off the lunch menu .

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

I have to say we received the best service from Manager & staff.  My daughter has multiple food allergies and we were given excellent choices of food from menu that catered for her.   Highly recommend booking table as this place is popular.  Halal. Delicious food made fresh and friendly staff.  10/10 Thank you for being so helpful.

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.

The food was really delicious but a bit overpriced for the portions you get, that is one star down from me. The staff were really welcoming and nice and the food came really quickly, and was presented beautifully.
My husband's kebab order came with a kitchen letter and mine was without. He did struggle a bit when eating as the paper was getting in the food, so my suggestion would be not to put papers on the kebabs.
The other thing is that when we were ordering the waitress kept saying this is a bit spicy are you okay with that, to which we confirmed that we are okay several times, but this does not affect the star rating.
I would recommend this place to others, although we are not coming back and that is only because of the prices and portions
I would suggest the Dirty Bab and loaded fries

It is very unique food and very tasty. The location is nice  and there is an inside and outside table and the staff are friendly but the service is a little slow due to the crowd. Thanx to Alex and Hassan for their service.  I advice u to try the mix mezza

Gyan, Pam and team were absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, the service was impeccable. The food was outstanding and the wine pairing was perfectly considered. I’d highly recommend Kebab Queen to anyone after a unique and excluding dining 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

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.

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!

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.

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!

The food here is exquisite. The atmosphere is amazing. They have a belly dancer part way through the evening performing. Overall, it's a great restaurant, and if recommended giving it a try.

🔴 @berenjaklondon 🔴 Located In Borough Market (London Bridge) Also In Soho
.
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

Honestly quite disappointed.  The bread in soho was charcoaled nicely with Ghee.  The first bread here was just burned, it shouldn't have made it to our table.  We asked for a chicken kebab, the server confirmed we wanted the boneless one.  The minced lamb one arrived - we didn't realise - my friend doesn't eat lamb.  Even after when we complained that we'd asked food to be packaged up and what was over 1/3 of the kebab and deliciously juicy bread was thrown away.  We said there was quite a bit of "chicken" left that had been thrown as the waitress tried to say it was an empty plate - twice.  No one said - you had lamb (it was our only kebab).  I had checked our receipt later and had to let my non-lamb eating friend know it was lamb.  The hummus was still amazing, as was the oliveh and yogurt dip.  Grace was also a fantastic waitress, as was the waiter with the ear plug.  Otherwise the service wasn't good and at times actively rude.   Such a shame, because I will continue to visit and send people to soho but not borough.

Came here for my birthday lunch abd was so glad I had come to discover Berenjak (London Bridge). The food was AMAZING! so flavorful and the portions were generous. Would highly recommend you take a visit. It won't disappoint at all.

I had an incredible meal at Berenjak. The dips were some of the best I’ve ever had – rich, smoky, and full of flavour – perfect with their warm, fresh bread. The kebabs were cooked beautifully, juicy and perfectly spiced. I went for The Fest set menu, which was the best choice: a generous feast that let me try a bit of everything, from the starters to the mains, all perfectly balanced and satisfying. The atmosphere is lively and cosy, and the service was warm and attentive. A true gem in borough market – can’t wait to return.

Berenjak in Borough is probably the classiest Persian food available in London. They have good locations and are always tasty. I have visited their other locations and they never disappoint.
I would like to specifically mention Deejay, he was a great member of staff, extremely friendly and really goes above and beyond for his customers.
The vibe is always busy and noisy in their restaurants, but in a good way!
I loved every bite of the food and would always recommend their grilled chicken as it is the tastiest thing on the menu.
I have to say though, the hummus used to be my favourite, but it has really gone downhill. I remember it being thick and also chunky; but now it was way too paste like and runny. I really loved how it used to be, so I wish Berenjak would bring that back.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will always return again and again!

Best food I’ve ever had. Not just Persian food but any food in general in my lifetime. The meats and preparation were out of this world. I don’t have the words to explain the juiciness and flavor of the koobideh and the chicken kabobs. Rice was perfect. The tomato even exploded with fabulous flavor into the rice. Haven’t had tomato with such good flavor. The green peppers have a perfect kick if you wanna add some spice to the meal, which brings out the flavors in the best way. The pomegranate juice was so good I had to get a second one. I would come back to London just to eat here. Yes it does cost some money but I will say it’s worth every penny of it because of the quality of the food. I don’t even wanna begin to compare it to anything in the states because that would be a waste of energy, USA is pathetic. Fabulous meal. Best Persian food in the world. I’m assuming Iran has this type of food. Just excellence.

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

Berenjak

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

Fantastic Persian food with Soho charm

I had the Mirza Ghasemi for starter, coal-cooked aubergine with garlic, tomato and St Ewes Farm eggs and it was absolutely delicious, smoky and full of flavour. The Sangak flatbread was warm, fresh and perfect for scooping up every bit. The Jujeh Kabab Tond was beautifully grilled, tender poussin with a great balance of chilli, garlic and red pepper spice.

The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Sitting outside gave the perfect Soho vibe: lively, warm atmosphere and people-watching with amazing food.

Absolutely delicious meal. One of our recent top picks of restaurants we’ve tried in London in recent memory. Flavours were bold and worked really well together. Ingredients were fresh. And the reasonably priced set dinner enables you to try several of their top appetizers/breads and mains. We were too full to try their dessert. Most definitely reserve ahead of time or else it’ll be a late dinner for you.

We had the pleasure of visiting Berenjak for lunch, and what an experience it was! We booked our table two months in advance.

We opted for the set menus, and from the very first bite to the last, the food was simply outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were unfailingly polite and attentive. Even with the set menu, the portions were generous, by the end, we were delightfully full.

At one point, we had ordered an additional dish outside the set menu, which was accidentally missed. When we mentioned it and asked to cancel (as we couldn’t possibly eat another bite), our server not only removed it from the bill but also surprised us with a complimentary dessert as an apology. Considering the restaurant was constantly packed, this thoughtful gesture truly spoke volumes about the quality of their service.

It was, without question, worth the two-month wait. Highly, highly recommended.

I couldn’t recommend Berenjak enough. I can definitely say this is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been in London. Everything is so so tasty and delicious and the service is great.
Big shout out to the chefs as it gets really hot around the grill and they are always doing a great job. I will be coming back soon!!!

I visited this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. Although reservations usually open three months in advance, I went as a walk-in and arrived about 15 minutes before the 5:30 opening. I was seated shortly after waiting.

Since I wasn’t too familiar with the menu, I asked a staff member for help. The explanation was clear and easy to understand, and he even recommended an appetizer that turned out to be absolutely delicious—I’d definitely order it again next time.

From water service to menu guidance, every detail was taken care of, which made the whole experience very pleasant. Especially thanks to Charlie, who looked after us from start to finish, our anniversary dinner turned out to be exactly the joyful experience I was hoping for.

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!

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.

Very disappointing!
I placed my order at 7:45 PM and it didn’t arrive until 9:20 PM. The estimated delivery time kept changing, even though it was originally stated as 25–50 minutes. On top of that, the chicken gyro was burnt and the fries were soaked in oil. Definitely not ordering from this restaurant again. Think twice before placing an order here!

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.

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!

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

£7.99 for a Burger an £2.99 for meal price is high, you can go Nandos the price is a little less but more then that you get heavy chicken breast burger piece. I did ask at the counter for the burger meal but the staff told me that option for meal is not available so he will charge me everything separately, i did ask him your menu clearly says meal price is there £2.99 extra but he refused an he said he can't do much about it as the company has made that decision, I didn't argue with him much an just bought it but very bad experience so already price is more expensive then other food places plus you charging extra. Food quality was great but the portion amount is less so overall this place is really not worth the money. Great service was given by the staff, an the place is neat an clean, toilet are clean so service was great.

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!

Spice Hut Romford

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.

Chicken doner Nann with peri peri chips and drink is the best combo I have had in here

The special sauce here is the garlic sauce which is sooooo delicious 🤤
I go here specially for that sauce😅🤣🥰

How can it be that after I clearly stated in the instructions on Uber Eats to include all the sauces—especially after spending £50 on this order—the staff still ignored it? The food from this place is only enjoyable because of the wide range of sauces you provide; without them, the meal simply can’t be eaten properly. To receive not even a single sauce after paying this much is extremely frustrating and disappointing. This isn’t like McDonald’s chips that can be eaten on their own—your food depends on the sauces.

And on top of that, why even have a meat curry on the menu if you’re just going to rush it and serve a tasteless, watered-down curry with extremely small pieces of meat? It feels careless, unacceptable, and a complete letdown. People spend good money here, and the least you could do is follow simple instructions and provide the quality you advertise.

Bad food i just order one meal and burger dry bread over burn nd just patty in it no other mayo or salad.. 👎 I wasn’t expecting from them

Found hair In my food once we got home. We called to complain and they informed me to return the following day for replacement food as it was late and the manager had gone home. They took my name and telephone number down but then denied everything the next day when I rang. In broken English the business owner shouted back at me and would not let me finish. The cooks do not wear hair nets so I reported this to the council for food inspection. It is disappointing as I have been a regular customer here since 2018.

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

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.

Great location, was empty when I went there and the food took about five minutes. Delicious as always though. Only thing I would complain about is that the wifi only works in the front of the building and not the back where all of the seating is. Overall good experience though!

Went in here on the off chance as my daughter had never eaten a kebab before and wanted to try one (I'm vegetarian).
My thirteen year old loved it and I was pleased to see that there were plenty of vege options too.  She went for the box, which has no bread.  The space was very clean and modern, just what appealed to her.  Her meal came to £10 with a drink, which is great value for London.

Delicious as always. The food was piping hot which is always a bonus 🥙

They used to give you three sauces with chips although last few times they haven't given any. Upon asking though they did provide me with a garlic and chilli sauce for free.

The only shame was Google says they're open 24/7. We ordered at 10.55pm and planned to eat in but they said we had to leave. No problem, we just ate it on the footpath outside 😂👍

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.

German Doner Kebab really exceeded my expectations! The meat was flavorful and tender, the bread had a perfect crunch, and the sauces tied everything together beautifully. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The place was clean, service was quick, and the staff were friendly. A fresh, modern take on the classic kebab – I’ll definitely be back!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

The manager provided an exceptional service, smiling and guiding me through the menu. Atika was very good as well

Had a very lovely lunch with my wife today. We have been served from Atika. She has been very kind and helpful on explaining us the menu as it was our first time dining here. Definitely recommend the place.

Pioneers of American Halal Food and the famous White Sauce

The Halal Guys

A quick OK, OK food option just opposite Earl's court train station.
We ordered Lamb and chicken Gyro, Chicken shwarma gyro and Falafel gyro. Food portion was decent while chicken quantity was a bit limited. Service was quick and food tasted just OK, not great but not bad either.
Place was clean. Small Gyro is 10.99 Pounds while Large Gyro is 11.99 with options for paid toppings like Humus and olives etc. Sauces were std while spicy sauce is a bit spicy so only 1 line is sufficient, I would not recommend to go for two lines of spicy sauce.
Overall a quick and easy option for not so bad lunch/Dinner.

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.

Tried The Halal Guys for the first time and it was absolutely delicious! Totally worth the price. A must-try if you're in the area!

Food was served fast, and it was tasty. Go-to place for quick munch.

Don’t expect restaurant quality, but the taste is there. Much preferred to regular fast food joints and the price is relatively cheap.

Thanks!

Good service and delicious food..
The hot sauce very spicy but tasty
We love the bread.. it’s fresh, warm and soft

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

@twopeasfoodies's review of Testi Stoke Newington on Instagram

Testi Restaurant

Hands down the best Turkish in the area. Often overlooked but I’ve been coming here for over a decade and every friend I bring with leaves in agreement. An absolute banger of a spot. Just get a platter and hum quietly to yourself in delight until your food arrives.

Testi has been my favourite Turkish restaurant for years now and i’v never been disappointed However they recently redecorated and reopened and i went along to today and i have to say i was a little disappointed. The service was very slow, had to ask for bread, the chips were very oily and crunchy. The amount of chilli sauce given isn’t enough for one person let alone a group. I really hope these things can improve as I want to return.

I went to Testi in Stoke Newington with my mum. We have been going for years and have never had an issue. My food was absolutely fine however my mum ordered the lamb ribs which came very fatty, no meat on the bone at all. May I also add every occasion we have gone to testis my mum has ordered the lamb ribs and had no issue, would occasionally get a couple fatty pieces but nevertheless that expected. However, this occasion all ribs but two were full of fat.

My mum didn’t want to complain as it’s not in our nature to do so but when you pay £23.50 you expect your food to be cooked to perfection. The waitress who we complained to was very lovely and said she will inform the manager. The manger told her to tell us that sometimes the meat does come fatty as its lamb and not beef? At this point there was no offer to resolve the solution by changing the food or offering something else.

We asked for the bill in which my mum made a comment “you have lost a very loyal customer” and moments later before the bill was brought the manager finally decided to come and talk to us. To begin with he was very abrupt in his approach but later on understanding where we was coming from and what we was trying to say. The manager did offer us the option for a new plate of food. My mum refused and the manager said he will deduct the lamb ribs from the bill.

My overall point of this review is not to tell people not to come here as all the other occasions we have been here the food has been perfect, it was just our luck today that my mums food was not cooked the way it should have been.

The point I’m trying to make is we were left to feel so bad for complaining but not only that my mum was put in a position where she had to watch me eat my food and not be able to enjoy her food. A new plate of food should of been offered straight away from the complaint

I hope the staff at Testi and the manager can learn from this so no one has to feel the embarrassment my mum felt

It was my first time here and I definitely come back again. I love the way they cook the meat and lamb chop was delicious. Definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you again

I had chose Testi restaurant for their catering services for my sons 1st birthday party and I just want to give the biggest THANK YOU to Eda and her incredible team that helped make my son’s 1st birthday so special! From the stunning decor to the delicious catering, every single detail was perfect. She was not only extremely professional, but also warm, friendly, and approachable — which made the entire process stress-free, smooth and enjoyable. Eda truly went above and beyond to create a joyful, welcoming atmosphere for all our guests. Everyone kept complimenting the setup and the food! I will always highly recommend you for any special occasion and definitely will be using your services again! It was a magical day for us, I will not be able to thank you guys enough!!

Pinar Grill

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

This resturant is the best place I've been to. It has a great name to it and the interior is very welcoming, as you can see them cooking the food. I arrive some days like sunday and they give it there best to cook the food. The "egg special" is a very juicy and succulent burger and this is one of my favourites and recommendations you should try.

As I've been in the resturant today I have ordered a classic hotdog to try when I got home, and opened the small box the hotdog was in. I was very pleased as the sausage and the hotdog bun looked appetizing.

This resturant deserves the 5 stars.
Thank you.

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

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.
