About Melissa's Kitchen

Melissa's Kitchen is a family-run Turkish restaurant at 27 Elizabeth St in London, close to Victoria coach station. Every dish is halal, and the kitchen serves meals to suit travellers who have little time to eat before a journey. The menu centres on kebab, shish and shawarma dishes, with the mixed doner combining chicken and lamb meat. The mixed lamb and chicken skewer plate offers the same two meats grilled on skewers. For diners who want something other than kebab, the kitchen also cooks burgers, vegetarian dishes and fish and chips. Meat dishes arrive with bread and salad.

Good to know

“Melissa’s Kitchen in a a family business. We wanted to create a nice, clean restaurant and offer good range of food mainly meat, chicken doner, lamb doner, chicken and lamb skewers as well as burgers, vegetarian dishes and fish & chips. We also wanted to focus on the price points and we offer realistic prices for our customers. All our food is also halal. We understand that most of our customers have very short time to eat before they travel so, it is quick but not fast food. Please visit and experience our restaurant and don’t forget to leave a Google review. All the best,”

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often praise the grilled lamb and chicken, from a lamb shish described as juicy and well-seasoned to a mixed doner that arrived within minutes and wasn't overly oily, and a mixed lamb and chicken skewer plate. Portions are called generous, with chips, fresh salad and warm bread with dips alongside, though one reviewer found the bread a bit overdone. Several describe the service as friendly, efficient or polite, and the restaurant as clean and welcoming. Value splits opinion: some call prices good, while one kebab fan found better for less elsewhere. The complaints are pointed. One diner got a cold chicken shawarma, another describes mushy, old-tasting takeaway fish and chips and plans a council complaint, and a visitor reports rejected cards and repeated charges. One family says a wrong order was replaced, then a packed burger for their sleeping son was thrown in the bin and had to be retrieved.

    “Very disappointing. I paid £10.95 for a chicken shawarma that was served cold and very poor quality. No chips, no drink, and definitely not worth the price. I took photos of the food as proof. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend this place.”

    “This place is horrible. I am visiting from USA. I went to pay and they rejected 2 credit cards and 1 from my mother, I tried my ATM card and rejected also. I offered to pay with US dollars and euros and they refused. Told me to go to an ATM and get pounds. Got hit with a $30 fee from my bank. Went home abd checked .y account and they charged me atleast 5 times for the dinner. Spent the night sorting out all the erroneous charges. Which totaled hundreds of dollars. This place is unethical and should be held criminally negligent. RIDICULOUS and the food was also horrible”
