About The Ottoman Doner - Whitechapel

The Ottoman Doner - Whitechapel is a halal kebab shop in London, run as a counter-serve in a small venue at 163 Cannon St Rd. Its doner comes as lamb, chicken or a mix, boxed with chips or rice and served with sauce.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the doner itself, describing meat that is soft, fresh and not greasy, with the lamb doner named the winner over the chicken doner. The Empire burger sits close behind, with one reviewer urging others to get it and another calling the burger insane. The light doner box and generous portions also come up repeatedly, along with friendly service, and one four-year regular describes staff giving extra when asked. Several former regulars say they are not returning. Their complaints are specific: a mix doner with extra meat paid for but little lamb and almost no chicken, a box that was mostly chips and rice, meat that was dry when the sauce was left out, and paper thin, greasy doner with portions cut by half and higher prices. One reviewer reports finding mouldy bread and becoming unwell afterward. Another diner recalls a staff member handing over a portion of doner when they were short of money.

    “Used to be a regular here as it was our go to for great donner. But after this order, it’s the last. From previous orders, I’ve noted they reduced the portion size down by half, but this time they’ve also given paper thin and greasy donner. Not to mention they’ve upped the price. Very unhappy with the quality. Definitely better places around.”

    “I remember ordering 2-3 years ago and one of the staff members provided me with a portion of Doner and I didn’t have enough money on the day. Really appreciate this it meant a lot. May Allah bless your business with barakah and success”

    “I have been coming here for 4 years and each time I have come I am amazed by the generous portion sizes, great customer service, quality of food and the generosity if you ask for something extra. Going above and beyond is an understatement. Sure, prices have crept quite steeply over the years, but what place hasn't? Overall 11/10”

    “I’m was a regular customer here I’m never going back the food was disgusting the bread was mouldy, there was two slices of bread I ate one as I was sitting in my car eating in the dark then something told me shine the light on the food I then realised that the bread was severely mouldy 🤮 🤮 luckily I’m a young healthy athletic guy if I was a person with a illness this could potentially be fatal. I am now stuck on the toilet I will never come back here again !! Do not buy !!”

    “Had a great experience at Ottomans Donner. The food was really tasty, fresh, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous and good value for money. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere as well. Definitely recommend if you’re after a quality doner!”
