About Kebabish Original (Chadwell Heath)
Kebabish Original (Chadwell Heath) is a Pakistani restaurant in Romford, at 1179 High Rd. The kitchen cooks meats over flame and makes vegetarian kebabs, so the menu serves both meat eaters and vegetarians. Traditional curry dishes run alongside the grilled food. Kebabs also appear as part of a mixed grill, which suits a table that wants several grilled items in one order. Biryani is on the menu too, including a lamb biryani.

Customer Review Summary
Food freshness splits reviewers sharply. Positive accounts describe tasty food made fresh on the day, and several praise friendly staff, with one comparing the atmosphere to a family restaurant. Others describe the opposite: food that was cold, extremely oily and looked left out all day, or a takeaway Mini Mixed Grill of six chicken wings, one kebab and four very thin, burnt chops with flat, diluted sauces. One diner who complained that a lamb biryani seemed off was told it was not off and that they had already eaten it. Another reviewer travelled to collect kebabs on Eid day and found the shop closed, despite the website indicating it was open. The most detailed complaint comes from a customer who ordered two biryanis and received two thumb-sized pieces of meat in each, leaving the family eating plain, very spicy rice and ordering delivery instead.

“Food was cold and extremely oily. Also it looked like it was leftout all day. Better places if you drive 5 mins to Seven Kings”

“I asked for 2 Bryani's. I told the person to make sure that he put reasonable amount of meat in them. He said he would. Guess what, he Didnt. 2 small pieces as big as a thumb were in each. So we were only eating plain rice. Rice itself was extremely spice. I couldn't go back at the distance. Family_kids were upset and ended up ordering food delivered. Its extremely disappointing that this is how customers are treated. I will NEVER be going there again and will be notifying others to also not go. Not a good place. They cannot be trusted.”

“You could have updated your website to reflect whether you were open on Eid day. We traveled all the way here to collect kebabs, only to find your shop closed, despite your website indicating that you were open.”

“Brilliant find! I assumed they'd be like some other KOs however this is a gem of a restaurant. The food isa always fresh, made on the day. Prices are very reasonable and the service is great. The atmosphere reminds me of a family restaurant. Love it.”
