Customer Review Summary

The negative reviews focus on the lamb and the grill. One reviewer describes the lamb doner as dry with no flavour, and another found the doner and Adana kebabs burnt, rubbery and salty. A third was handed lamb doner instead of the chicken doner ordered, received a burnt kofte kebab, and was told off by a staff member for taking a photo. Another reviewer collecting an online order says staff did not speak or acknowledge them in an empty shop.

“I ordered lamb doner. Absolutely no flavour & very dry out meat, one of the worse kebabs I have had in a very long time. Will not be returning”

“I had a very disappointing experience at The Fat Chap. The customer service was extremely poor. I ordered a kofte kebab with chicken doner, but I was given lamb doner instead, which was frustrating. When I tried to take a photo, one of the staff members was unnecessarily rude and told me I wasn’t allowed to take pictures. His attitude was completely uncalled for. The food itself was also a let-down. It was overly salty, and the kofte kebab I received was burnt. I also asked for chicken kofte, only to find out they don’t even offer it. Overall, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.”

“Ordered via food app and collected. When I entered the shop, rude customer service who didn’t even acknowledge me when shop was empty. I stated that I was collecting my order after I placed it online, the older man was bagging the food and just handed me the bag. Not a single word used. It was very awkward. Good temperature however food was burnt. I ordered the Doner Kebab and Adana Kebab. As the food was burnt, it naturally tasted salty due to burnt bits. The kebab does not taste nice. It was chunky and rubbery large pieces. I wouldn’t recommend.”
