About Bilals

Bilals is a kebab shop in Gateshead, at 4 Southend Rd, that serves a 12 inch chicken tikka pizza alongside its kebabs, with a thin base option for the pizza. Orders run through a walk-in counter, where the staff ask what you want on your kebab or wrap. Wraps come with salad and can be filled with chicken tikka or doner. The space is small, so the counter is the focus of the visit. The drinks list includes milkshakes, with a Nutella version for anyone after something sweet.

Customer Review Summary

Chicken tikka kebabs and kebab wraps draw the most praise, with reviewers describing generous portions full of chicken rather than chips, and calling the tikka kebabs juicy and well seasoned. Close behind is the tikka pizza, praised for its flavour and a base that is not soggy, while chips dipped in masala sauce and Nutella milkshakes also get mentions. Some say delivery arrives piping hot and early, and one describes quick, friendly counter service with a bit of banter. Complaints are specific. One diner found the kebab soggy, the donner meat anaemic, the tikka chicken dry and the pizza greasy. Late delivery recurs, with one order cold and 50 minutes late and another taking over an hour. One reviewer reports a driver throwing an order from a car, and another reports a milkshake with nuts served despite a stated nut allergy, followed by food poisoning. After the cold, late order, the shop offered a discount and a free cheesecake.

    “Popped in to grab something to eat while working round the corner. Got a kebab wrap with salad. The lad asked what I wanted and what I did not. Service was quick and friendly with a bit banter. Even got little discount not sure why. Wrap was a very good size and top notch. Keep it up lads”

    “Just popped into bilals after a round of golf and the Mrs had been out all day. Had the pleasure of meeting bilal who was a top guy. Great service and better food, Mrs had Donna kebab and I had chicken kebab, the portions were large and very tasty. Also had Nutella milkshakes which were banging. Masala sauce to dip the chips in was so good too. Will be back after our trip to Spain in the next week”

    “Okay so i ordered the first time (desserts only) absolutely FANTASTIC!brilliant portions, beautiful flavours! Beautiful infact altogether! Delivery was abit late but understandable given the tyne bridge. I then ordered pizza and chips and desserts a second time about a week or so later, we dont usually but lifes been hectic. I decided to preorder for a time to try and get it on time as we go to bed early, like grandads haha, unfortunately the food turned up cold, 50 minutes late, my cheesecake had melted, we ended up having to reheat everything, and it made it a bit crap. Gutted as the first time was amazing. Did call to resolve the issue, was offered a redelivery but it was busy and offered a discount with free cheesecake instead which ill be ringing for over the weekend. Appreciated their help to resolve the issue and look forward to next time hopefully with hot food and my cheesecake not sat on top of the pizza to melt😳. Not mad cos its too good food and shit happens, just glad to have it resolved.”

    “Bilal’s Takeaway in Gateshead is an absolute gem. Hands down one of the best tikka pizzas and tikka kebabs you’ll find. The tikka pizza is unreal – loads of flavour, generous toppings, perfectly cooked chicken, and just the right balance of spice. The base is spot on too, not soggy and full of flavour. Tikka kebabs are just as good: juicy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Great value for money, consistently good food, and always hits the spot.”
