About Tasty Fish Bar & Best Kebab
Tasty Fish Bar & Best Kebab is a fish and chips takeaway at 57A Vicarage Ln in Stratford, London, serving the area since 1958. The fish is cooked fresh to order rather than held in a heated display unit, and it comes with chips in a large fish and chips portion. Kebabs share the menu, with lamb donner and Turkish kebabs alongside chicken, battered sausages and a range of salads. Chilli sauce is one of the sides. The food is halal, and the shop offers late-night service. Customers walk in to order. Free parking is nearby, and Stratford Station is a short walk away.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips is the main draw, with reviewers praising cod cooked fresh to order rather than pulled from a heated display, and a large fish that one diner calls really large. Close behind is the chilli sauce, which one reviewer calls fantastic compared with watery versions elsewhere. Others mention lamb doner, Turkish kebabs, chicken and salads, served by staff described as polite and welcoming. One regular Just Eat customer asks for curry sauce to be restored, since it always shows as unavailable. Complaints recur around quality. Several describe old, hard chips, one saying chips claimed to be fresh were at least two hours old. Others report oily fish with hardly any batter, and fish that was grey, rubbery inside and fell apart. One order arrived with wrong and missing items, and one reviewer reports rancid chicken, while another says they felt sick afterward. One reviewer who asked for old chips to be removed says a good number were still hidden beneath the fish and fresh chips.

“Food was rank and they gave me old food. Usually this place has been pretty good for the price. The order was completely wrong this time - wrong and missing items. Feel sick”

“I ordered a large cod and chips which cost £12.50. I noticed the vendor had put in old chips so I asked him to take them out. He did not take all of them out as he had sneakily put quite a lot of old chips at the bottom of the fish and new chips. He should not have done this as chips are expensive. There were too many old chips to be worth £12.50. The fish was fine but this is short changing the customer! I think they do this regularly as another customer tellingly said when he ordered chips that he would wait for the new batch. Check your chips if you eat or order from here!”

“This place has gone downhill big time. I ordered online and the food arrived. Fish was very oily, hardly any batter and the chips had a really funny taste. (Poor quality) I definitely won't be ordering from here again. Very disappointed.”
