About House of Spice / Desi Donner - Liverpool

The red doner with hot sauce anchors the menu at House of Spice / Desi Donner, an Indian takeaway on Prescot Rd in Liverpool that also trades as a kebab and chicken shop. Doner meat comes with naan as well as pitta, and orders arrive with salad and sauce alongside the meat, with hot sauce, yoghurt sauce and mango habanero among the options. Doner and salad can also be ordered as a box, and chips or fries are offered as a side with kebabs and boxes. Chicken wings and chicken tikka with chips and salad round out the range. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis at the counter, with no reservations taken. The shop trades in the evenings and closes on Tuesdays, opening the rest of the week. It sits within walking distance of Alder Hey hospital.

Customer Review Summary

The red doner kebab dominates, ordered with hot sauce, yoghurt sauce and salad, and repeatedly described as a massive portion that reviewers could only half finish. Close behind is the naan, which several call unbelievably tasty and one describes as a style of naan paired with doner meat they hadn't seen in Liverpool before. Others single out the doner meat itself as full of flavour and real rather than the grey, greasy versions they associate with kebab shops, along with chicken tikka with chips, and wings with crispy fries. The range of sauces draws mention too, with mango habanero named as one favourite. Delivery is the recurring sore point: one reviewer says orders often take a long while and suggests ordering a little ahead, while another waiting outside a hospital found the driver absent at the promised time and the chips stone cold on arrival, though they still called the driver polite. Several guests staying near the hospital note ordering repeatedly during their stay.

    “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!”

    “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.”
