Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently highlight the red Donner kebab as the standout offering, praising its generous portion, flavorful meat and the accompanying hot sauce, yoghurt sauce and fresh salad. Close behind, the naan bread draws repeated commendation for its crisp texture and authentic taste, while the chicken tikka with chips and salad is also noted for its satisfying size and flavor. A recurring drawback is the delivery experience: several diners report that orders arrive later than expected and that side items such as chips can be served cold, with one reviewer describing the chips as “stone cold.” A few mention that the prices are a bit higher than typical takeaways, though many feel the quality justifies the cost. Several suggest ordering ahead to accommodate the longer delivery window. The portion sizes, especially for the kebab and naan, are repeatedly described as massive, leaving diners with more than they can finish.

“Kebabs have a history of being stodgy,greasy affairs filled with grey bland 'meat'. Desi Donner are in comparison, full of flavour and colourful real meat. The accompanying salad, pitta and sauce are all beautifully presented and taste out …”

“Incredible all round, food, service & taste absolutely superb. We look forward to ordering again in the near future, also my mum said that's the best doner meat she has had ! The naan was also unbelievably tasty too probably the first ive seen in Liverpool, that style of naan with doner meat, however perfectly done ✔️”

“Food is so nice, a bit on the pricier side but IMO worth it as a treat Love the customisation and selection of sauces, my fav is the mango habanero Delivery often takes a long while so order a little ahead!”
- Mark Leather
“After googling best kebabs in the area, Desi Donner came out on top so I decided to order my first kebab from here. I wasn’t dissapointed - Mohammed the chef and owner personally delivered my order as it was my first time. I had the red desi dinner kebab with hot sauce and yoghurt sauce and salad… presentation was excellent, the portion size was massive that I could only eat half, taste was gorgeous and the sales and sauce were lovely… the naan bread was perfect and the food hot & tasty… no faults whatsoever! If you are craving and massive, tasty, quality kebab then this is the place to go.. Thanks Mohammed Mark”

“One of the best takeaways we've had. Great friendly service. Food was amazing! Fresh, hot and very tasty. Staying at Alderhey hospital for a few weeks and this was a very welcome great bit of food. Not too far to walk from the hospital either. We've eaten from here multiple times now during our hospital stay.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
