Quick info
About Express Kebab House
Express Kebab House is a kebab shop in Margate at 208 Northdown Rd, serving kebabs since 1989. The doner is homemade and sliced thinly while you wait, so the meat is carved to order rather than pre-cut. Adana is on the grill menu, and the garlic and chilli sauces are made in house daily. Salad comes with the kebabs and is cut fresh each day. Chips sit alongside, and the menu also covers burgers and vegetarian options. The kitchen serves food late at night.

Customer Review Summary
The criticism is about value and consistency. One reviewer calls it a standard kebab and was puzzled by what they felt was an inflated charge for salad. Another describes it as low to medium quality, says it is pricey, and notes the chips are frozen. That same reviewer also mentions seeing older staff treat newer, younger staff badly. Late at night, one diner says staff helped them and their brother get food.

“Shame about how they treat their staff, seems like the old men staff bully the young new staff, trying their best it’s not nice to witness. It is a low to medium quality kebab shop, one of the better in the area as it turns around more kebabs so the meat/salad is fresher. Expensive more more than london prices and It could def be better for the price, some people I know have been sick from the later night food as seems they leave it out for hours avoid shish late and get fresh cooked doner if you have to. The chips are frozen bookers style.”

“It’s ok. Standard kebab. But what’s weird is that they charged me 25% of list price for salad. Very odd. I never imagined salad would become a stealth tax!!! Very odd people.”
