About Aspendos (Hawkinge)
Aspendos (Hawkinge) is a kebab shop on Canterbury Rd in Folkestone, at 93a. Food is cooked on a wood fired grill, which sets the approach for the kitchen. The chicken doner kebab comes in large and small sizes, and doner meat and shwarma chicken are both on the menu. For groups, the mixed-meat special brings a selection of different meats and is big enough to feed 3. Pizza is also served, with a buy one get one free deal. Sauces come in a separate pot.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are more varied. One reviewer says eight out of ten orders arrive with something missing, such as pitta bread or garlic mayo, leaving the food dry. Another is tired of repeatedly asking for the kebab to be built with sauce and salt and vinegar on the chips, only for it to arrive separated. Pizza draws criticism, with new bases described as stale and smaller, and another reviewer calling it a step down. One reviewer reports their partner was violently sick after a doner and a shwarma chicken, and suspects the doner.

“Food was stone cold just ordered, got cheesy chips expecting it to be melted-it was not they was so cold, smothered in burger sauce when I only wanted a little bit and they was chunky chips instead of usual fries”

“The food is great the problem is 8 out of 10 orders results in a missing item, like the pitta bread and tonight no garlic mayo, so food was very dry, please listen when someone orders.”

“Aspendos has always been a reliable choice for pizza or kebab, with great value from their ‘buy one, get one free’ pizza deal. Delivery is prompt and the service is still bang on. Unfortunately, they’ve recently changed their pizza bases, and it’s been a real disappointment - the new ones taste stale and feel smaller than before. The cheesy chips and grilled chicken were still tasty, but the pizzas really let the meal down. I genuinely hope they switch back to the old pizza bases, as this used to be one of our go-to takeaways.”

“Sick of constantly placing an order asking repeatedly to build the kebab and add the sauce. And make sure there’s salt and vinegar on the chips. Yet every time it turns up it’s all separate and have to build it. I get there’s people out there that like doing that so it doesn’t get soggy. But never got soggy having it built from the Cheriton store. And when your repeatedly asked to build it add the sauce and make sure there’s salt n vinegar on the chips it should be passed on. You pay enough as it is without having to build your own dinner.”

“Me and my partner orderd from here last night. He got the donner meat and i got shwarma chicken, at 2.30am that night,my partner was up being violently sick and diarrhoea. This was from the takeaway,we order from here quite a bit and never a problem, im just writing this on here as i cannot get hold of them through the phone. I think that donner was very off!”
