Quick info
About Helston Grill
Helston Grill is a family-run kebab shop at 35 Coinagehall St in Helston, serving halal food from a takeaway counter with no seating area. The menu covers kebabs, pizza, fried chicken and burgers. The kebab range includes a traditional non-spiced meat, and the chicken shish and lamb shish kebab both come with chips. For a shared order, the Variety Box brings chicken pieces, wings, chips and a drink, along with a selection of sauces. The shop is open daily, so the kitchen runs every day of the week.

Customer Review Summary
Halal food is the main draw, with holidaymakers repeatedly pleased to find it in an area where one reviewer says halal choice is very limited, and one visitor notes the owner assured them it is halal. Pizza comes close behind, called better than expected and a late-night saviour, and one regular rates it among the best they have had. Reviewers also single out the chicken shish, a chicken wrap with generous meat, the grilled items, a mixed grill and the traditional unspiced kebab meat. Staff are described as friendly and lovely. Price is the recurring complaint, with a few finding it higher than they would expect. One delivery reviewer says a small lamb shish and chips cost what a large once did and arrived with soggy chips and no salad. Another found the larger pieces in a Variety Box not even warm inside, though the chips and sauces were liked. One northern visitor felt the taste fell short of Bradford and Manchester standards. One group ate here on three of four days of their stay.

“I tried the Variety Box at Helston Grill, which includes two pieces of chicken, four wings, chips, and a drink. The chips were served hot and were really good. I also liked the selection of sauces they offer. The wings were warm rather than hot, but they were having a good flavour and I really enjoyed them. The only disappointing part was the larger pieces of chicken. While the coating was warm, because they were quite thick, I was a little concerned about temperature inside as it was not even warm. It would have been much better if they had been served hotter, as that would have given me more confidence. The service was good, and although the dining area is small, it was clean and comfortable. Overall, it was a good experience, and with a little more attention to serving the larger chicken pieces hotter, it would be even better.”

“I just had a delivery: small Lamb Shish kebab and chips. For £16.90, the price of a large one not so long ago. It used to be very good. But today, the chips were soggy and the salad items have gone. Very disappointing. Back to fish and chips.”

“Excellent kebab and was ready for collection on time. I've tried kebabs from all over Cornwall and this is the only shop that still sells the traditional none spice 2020 meat. Thank you!”

“Visiting the area for the weekend and there was barely a place to get food late at night, but these guys were a god send, fair priced food, quick service, lovely staff, and no complaints. The pizzas are better than expected and hit the spot when you're hungry late at night! I would recommend that if you're in the area and haven't been here yet get in and get some good scran!”
