About Master Kebabs
Master Kebabs is a kebab shop in Gillingham, at 88 Watling St, where the open kitchen lets customers watch chefs in whites prepare the food while they wait. The master platter pairs doner meat with chicken wings, and the menu also includes a lamb doner and chips and a kofta wrap. A counter and fresh salad bar display marinated meats and salads, so the options are visible before ordering. Plaques and awards the shop has won hang on the back wall. The sitting area is small, with a limited number of tables.

Customer Review Summary
Lamb doner is the draw reviewers raise most, described as soft and served with chilli sauce, crispy-coated chips and burger sauce, with one calling it one of the best, if not the best, they have tried. Close behind are the master platter, packed with doner meat and chicken wings, the triple kebab meal, and a juicy, well-seasoned kofta wrap. One reviewer also praises a chicken fillet burger with garlic sauce. Diners repeatedly mention the fresh salad bar, a clean shop and friendly, helpful staff in uniform, and a couple say they travelled in from London just to try it. The main drawback is space. Reviewers describe a small seating area and a long queue, and one notes that waiting may mean standing outside on the road in the rain. Another wishes for more tables, and one calls it a good takeaway but not suited to dining in. Several point to the wall of plaques and awards at the back of the shop.

“After living in Gillingham for about six years, Master Kebab on Watling Street became one of my favourite places to eat. I now live in Ashford, but whenever I'm back in the area, I always make sure to stop by. Today I had a kofta wrap, and it reminded me exactly why I kept coming here all those years. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. The kofta was juicy and well-seasoned, and the quality seems to get even better every time I visit. What makes this place special for me is not just the food but also the memories. Every visit brings back good times, and it's great to see that the standards have remained so high over the years. If you're looking for a delicious kebab and friendly service, Master Kebab is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended! ❤️ Thank you, Master Kebab, for keeping the great food and great memories alive.”
