Quick info
About Darnley Grill & Pizza
Darnley Grill & Pizza is a kebab shop on Darnley Rd in Rochester, taking orders by phone directly rather than through Just Eat or Deliveroo, so customers deal with the shop itself. The counter works on a walk-in basis, and a paper menu is handed out, including to anyone reading the board from the pavement. Kebabs anchor the list, with chicken doner, a chicken wrap and chicken kofta among the regular options, and meat arrives with salad and sauces. The kebab sauce is made in-house. Portions run large, and the menu stretches to a mixed meat feast for two and a giant tray of kebab with everything on it that feeds four, which suits groups ordering together. Pizzas sit alongside the grill items. The shop opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the kebabs, with the chicken doner kebab, a chicken wrap and the newer chicken kofta all named, and the meat described as cooked the way regulars like it. Home made kebab sauce and fresh salad get a mention, and large portions come up repeatedly, including a giant tray of kebab said to feed four and a mixed meat feast described as plenty for two. Delivery is called quick, polite and arriving hot, and several describe the staff as friendly, from a greeter who offered a menu outside to a free lollipop for one reviewer's son on each visit. Some regulars say they have come for years and call it the best kebab in Medway. The criticisms are small. One reviewer finds the garlic sauce not great, another notes cash only and Pepsi rather than Coke, and one calls it just another corner kebab shop with acceptable food. The lollipop handed to a child at each visit is the detail that sticks.
