About FAMZ DONER KEBAB
On Cranbrook Road in Ilford, FAMZ DONER KEBAB is a takeaway and restaurant built around lamb, beef, and chicken doner. The salad served alongside includes pomegranates, feta, and olives, a step up from the usual lettuce and tomato mix. A platter option pairs the doner with salad and chips, and chips can also be ordered on their own or as part of a meal. Naan comes pre-packaged, then gets warmed and cut up before serving. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations involved.

Customer Review Summary
The chicken doner draws mild approval, but the beef doner repeatedly disappoints, described as bland, chewy, or lacking flavour, with one reviewer sent home a wrong order entirely. The salad and presentation get praise, including pomegranates, feta, and olives, though a platter salad with spinach and sweetcorn struck one diner as mismatched. Chips portions and a packet naan also drew complaints.

“Nice food, Just come and try it your self.”

“So to start with, I ordered a beef donner and they confirmed this twice only to send me home with chicken! We ordered the platter, which comes with a salad and chips, the salad had spinach, olives and sweetcorn in it- which is more like a breakfast salad not the salad you need with a donner. The naan is ready made from a packet and is simply warmed and cut up. I won’t be returning. It’s sad because their other store across the road has good food. I expected much better from this place”

“Ordered a beef doner salad and was disappointed from the very first bite. No flavour in the meat at all. From the decor had expected this place to be in the same league as ottomans and GDK but sadly the meat flavour pales in comparison to even my local spice hut. The salad was prepared nicely including pomegranates, feta and olives which is above and beyond most other doner places however the meat flavour was a real let down, so bad in fact that I'm writing this review whilst eating as I'm no hurry for another bite”

“Potential of being a top place… compared to their other brilliant business across the road (famz peri peri) there’s still some work to be done. The lamb donner was bland and chewy, seemed as if wasn’t fresh. However chicken donner was nice. Chips given in meals or separate is like they’ve been hand counted and not enough. Salad was fresh and tasty and presentation is good. Chilli sauce tubs had a weird taste to it. Overall 3 is fair review but it can easily be 5 just like their other great business across the road.”

“Tried them today and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. So many things went wrong where do I start. …”
