Customer Review Summary
The full house kebab draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it the best they've had and returning for it consistently. Close behind, the mixed kebab for two, samosas, and garlic bread with cheese get singled out as favorites, and delivery drivers are described repeatedly as polite and friendly, sometimes even checking in on customers. Several mention the owner personally resolving problems, including one case where a free garlic bread was brought back after an issue. Complaints recur around inconsistency though: one reviewer got a doner wrap with barely any meat and mostly vegetables, another received a lukewarm pizza and unexpectedly battered garlic mushrooms, and one reviewer reports food poisoning after eating a sausage pizza and doner meat, describing the sausage as tasting off and the dough undercooked. Despite this, most describe food arriving hot and reliable, and one reviewer notes staff offered a free item after querying a late delivery.

“Food is always delicious and piping hot from here. I’ve been meaning to put up a review for a long time and always forget. I’ve been a customer for quite some time now and have no complaints. Delivery guys are also really polite and friendly and it’s rare they’re ever late. Highly recommend!”

“Had the full house kebab last night. Honestly, the best kebab I have ever had from a takeaway!!! We always go here and never have a bad meal. Even if there has been anything wrong, Soren, the owner (sorry if spelled wrong) has always rectified the issue and has even came back to our door with a free garlic bread so the service is brilliant. The guys in the kitchen are great and always helpful over the fone. Truly a belter gaff!!!”
