About Best Kebab
On Skinnergate in Darlington, Best Kebab is a halal restaurant serving kebabs alongside the parmo, a menu item that sits next to the standard kebab range rather than replacing it. The kofte kebab appears on the menu, and kebab meals come with chips. Stuffed crust pizza is also offered, widening the choice beyond kebabs and parmo. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. The halal status of the menu shapes the full range on offer, from the kebabs to the parmo and pizza options.

Customer Review Summary
Delivery delays and cold food dominate the feedback for this kebab and pizza takeaway, with reviewers repeatedly describing orders arriving an hour or more late and stone cold, including one preorder that took nearly two hours to arrive after multiple calls to check on it. The kofte kebab draws particular criticism for being tasteless and rubbery, served with cold, grease soaked chips, while more than one reviewer describes a parmo as thin, burnt, or undercooked. Refunds are a recurring sore point too, with reviewers reporting rude phone staff and refusals to replace or refund a bad meal after a large order. Two reviewers separately report becoming ill, one after a parmo and another after undercooked chicken. Against this, one reviewer praises fast, cheap, well cooked food with a surprise of free chips, and another notes polite staff. One reviewer who found a hair in a stuffed crust pepperoni pizza had a driver sent back to collect it, then received a cash refund short of the amount promised.
