Quick info
About Dilan Kebab House
Dilan Kebab House is a kebab shop on Mersea Road in Colchester, run as a takeaway and delivery kitchen with no on-site seating. The grill turns out doner kebabs, burgers and pizzas, and the team bakes their own Turkish bread on the premises. Portions are generous, orders move through quickly, and the kitchen packs food out with a side of salad. Orders are placed at the counter for collection, and delivery reaches the surrounding streets. It stays open late into the evenings.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers describe the food as tasty, fresh, and generously portioned, with several calling out the döner and the house-made Turkish bread as standouts, and service as quick and friendly. A long-time customer, however, reports shrinking portions and slow delivery, while another says a new chilli sauce ruined the food. One reviewer also describes becoming ill after eating and calls the lamb chewy.

“I ended up feeling extremely ill after eating from here. Lamb was chewy and fatty the salad was days old and chicken didn’t have any flavour. Won’t be ordering from here again.”
- Gary
“Good staff very polite, food was delicious and arrived very quickly”
- Gavin Pascoe
“Very tasty, fast service. Friendly dönerci (apparently there is a name for the chap on the grill 😉). They make their own Turkish bread too.”
- Santiago
“I had a great visit to Dilan Kebab House. The food was fresh, tasty, and served in generous portions. The meat was perfectly cooked, the salad was crisp, and everything was full of flavour. The staff were friendly, and the service was quick and efficient. A fantastic place for a satisfying meal, and I’ll definitely be back!”

“I have been coming here for years... What happened? It used to be great. Delivery takes for ever and the portion sizes are basically half what they used to be. Very disappointing, will be the last time I use them. The photo cost £13.50 with salad (not shown).”
