About Kebab Centre
Kebab Centre is a kebab shop and takeaway at 18 Portsmouth Rd in Southampton, open daily. Its 43-dish menu spans kebabs, shish, burgers, and fish and chips, so one counter covers several kinds of meal. Doner kebab comes with salad in a pitta, and chicken shish and lamb shish are listed alongside a house special made with a variety of meats. Burgers include the 1/4 Pounder With Cheese, and a 1/2 Pounder sits above it for bigger appetites. Chips can come with cheese. Orders are placed at the counter, and a few tables inside give room to eat on site.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken shish is the most praised item, called fresh and mild by one reviewer and a favourite by another, with cheesy chips, burgers and the house special also drawing compliments from long-time customers who describe tasty, tender food with no wait. Several reviewers, though, say portions have shrunk or arrive small for the money: one received a large lamb shish with two skewers missing from the kebab, another got a delivered kebab with about five cubes of chicken, and a third described a child-sized portion. Order accuracy is the other recurring complaint. One reviewer with allergies says onions and iceberg lettuce were added despite requests, and another asked for chicken only and received lamb. A few describe staff as disgruntled or abrupt, and one reports being sworn at after complaining, while another reports a racist response over a late online order. One reviewer also notes no chicken doner was available. Even critical reviewers often say the food tasted nice, and one diner's small doner kebab was still hot when they got home.

“Possibly the worst food I have ever ordered, inedible, tasteless, lukewarm stodge. When I complained was the most un respectable response, met with an awful swearing man, awful, even worse than the food, never ordering from here again, so do yourself a favour, steer clear from this disrespectful place. 😠 😡 👿 😤 🤬”
