Alex's Place in Newham

Caught a gem! Went here for the first time today and the food + service was impeccable. Family owned local Turkish restaurant. Great prices and complimentary items. What stood out to me was their politeness to delivery drivers, who are usually dismissed by many restaurant owners. Saw them offering one a cup of Turkish tea. Will be back!

We travel all the way from Basildon for this quaint restaurant. Family run business that always treats my husband and I well. Great quality food, satisfying portions and a beautiful cozy ambience! What more could you want. If you live locally you MUST drop by to try!!

This place is absolutely amazing, delicious food, good service, clean and the freshly made bread was just out of this world. We all just loved every item which was cooked to perfection. Will definitely go back soon.

Got the mix grill for £28, was impressed that it came with more than what was advertised. The chicken and Lamb Shsish were cooked perfectly, so it was juicy, soft and not dry like most places. I would come back again. Owner gave a free mango juice to my 2 year old at the end which was a nice touch.

What a great place! Nice modern interior with comfortable seating area. Friendly staff. The falafel & humus main plate was really tasty, and good value. Thanks so much

Food was so flavoursome, staff were very friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere was very modern and family friendly. Definitely a must try for authentic Turkish food

This has been refurbished and is very comfortable now. Large portions of good quality food. Delicious at reasonable prices

On a trip to London after having spent 7 days in restaurants for lunch and dinner we finally came across this Turkish restaurant and big surprise, it's not expensive, very very good, the dishes and even when it's takeaway it's very generous. The managers are super friendly, the products are fresh...really nothing to complain about, we went back twice because we loved it so much. During our 9 days in London this is our top 1 restaurant and yet we did some near the Sky Garden, Big Ben.... The best will remain this one "at Alex's". Thank you again and hello from France 🇨🇵

Absolutely love it! The amazing taste of the food, the big portion of the plate and relaxing atmosphere will definitely let you happy at the end of your dinner at Alex's Restaurant 💞

Lovely food good quality good quantity 👌 dining area is nice lovely atmosphere 😊 very friendly staff very good service, hope that says it all. Not to forget the food is very tasty

Delicious and fresh food served with generous portion sizes. The atmosphere was ambient with comfortable seating.

Mind blowing food, especially the falafel, and amazing customer service

Nothing to say apart from best kebab shop if you like food and best flavours and portions always the best and clean and nice restaurant.

A lovely local family restaurant

It is a very nice place, with high-quality and delicious food! The staff are very friendly and polite. We enjoyed our dinner.

The menu says the beer size is a pint, after ordering we received small 330ml beers. the food is not worth the prices. tastes like a £6 kebab. you pay for the interior design there

Been coming to this place for years food and staff are great 👍

Wonderful food excellent service and great ambience

Large party so service wasn't especially quick but the food was good

Really nice find in East Ham, food was fresh and flavoursome. Interior felt upscale and modern nice touches with the lighting. Service was friendly and polite. A bit of a rare gem in the area, would definitely recommend. Extremely good value for the portion sizes.

Not the best service and average food.

Awesome local Turkish place, super friendly staff and happy to offer vegetarian plates that aren't directly on the menu.

Very generous workers and the food was very delicious

Astonishing lovely dinner. Amazing food value for money with the service. Staff and environment is amazing!

Excellent service and the food was lovely just a bit pricey for what you get

Lovely people and service. Hidden gem

More than a year later and it tastes as good as I remember keep it up lads.

Popped into Alex’s Place this afternoon and I was definitely not disappointed. I had a falafel wrap and I’m currently thinking would it be greedy of me to get another🫣….it was delicious. Friendly staff, I sat having a great chat with the guys in there. Food was cooked and presented well, you can definitely taste the love in the falafel and hummus. If I’m in the area again I will definitely be back.

I got chance to visit Alex’s Place on Jul 25, 2023. It was late night and I travelled all the way from Germany and Belgium through a coach tour. My family was tired and so I wanted to have good dinner for all of us. By going through reviews I decided to visit Alex’s Place and so walked almost 1 kms with our carryon luggage. When we reached they were out on most of the items. They were planning to close early ( at around 10 PM instead of 11 PM) as they didn’t have too many things to offer. When I explained my situation so that’s when I saw a genuine customer service from them. They opened up the closed dinning area and let us have our food. I also want to have a special mention of their regular customer named Ravi. He just tried to help me calm down. Ravi also talked to the team of Alex and tried to work out possible options for our dinner as we were looking for vegetarian item too. Ravi if you are reading this review then I want to convey big “Thank you “ too you. We enjoyed the “chips “ ( we call it fries 🍟 in Canada) you ordered for us. You will be in my prayers. People like you keep this world alive and fill with positive energy. Now food at Alex’s is awesome. I would say best chicken kabobs and rice I have ever. Quantity is very good and quality is great. Look at the pictures and you would agree with me on a wonderful plating. ❤️❤️ . Seating arrangements is neat and clean. Service was great. I wish them good luck and highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a good experience of food at East Hum. It’s worth travelling bit distance if you are in London or near by area.

The food is Incredible! The staff are Amazing! It's the Best Turkish food in Newham!

Wow, what a fantastic Dinner at Alex's Place. Based on my family's recommendation, I went to Alex's place and was very satisfied. I didn't read their (folks) previous feedback online and gave this input based on my experience yesterday. Suppose you choose Alex for a meal or feast or even go to Alex suddenly; in that case, I'm sure you will enjoy everything, including their environment, service, and food. They were very welcoming, and the customer service was incredible. I always recommend Alex's Palace for the best Turkish food in East London, and I have become their regular. My rating would be 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks Alex's Place, for the fantastic meal and services.

Great food, friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

Now hear me out...for a kebab place the food and the aesthetics is next level which now makes me rethink other kebabs places. I am not a humus person but the humus here is a cut above the rest. Food portions are really nice!

Why are people praising this place the food was terrible, they made it look ok but the donner was thin and dry almost crunchy which is a shame for Turkish owned business, some times they give bread sometimes they don’t which is inconsistent, the lamachun was so bad I felt like they hired anybody to be the chef, but the elderly waiter had a major attitude problem, rude and no etiquette my friend requested a change instead of taking the plate back to change he brings a container of rice and slaps it on the plate like it’s prison or something, the worst part is they scribble all over the menus with over priced dishes which is shocking because they are not on that level to be charging that much, it felt like them tired out tourist restaurants that sell the menu but you instantly regret stepping in soon as you taste the food.

If there was 6 stars I'd give it. Amazing quality donner and chicken mixed kebab with perfect heat chilli sauce, not to mention the service with a smile and offer if free Turkish tea. Nice one guys 👍👍

Food was SO nice! Great quality meat! So glad to have this local gem. Everything was *chefs kiss

Highly recommended 👌. Food is delicious 😋, friendly stuff. Thank you very much Definitely will come back.

Absolutely amazing food and the staff are professional, friendly and really look after you. This place is a hidden gem and is the best Turkish food I've had in my life. I would highly recommend visiting and enjoying the beautiful atmosphere!

Visited couple nights ago for iftar and I must say the quality of food was absolutely awful. I would advise to avoid their platters. It was ridiculously overpriced and the meat was scarce. They charged £65 PER PLATTER and each one had TWO chops and TWO ribs! So yeah we paid £130 for 4 chops and 4 ribs, barely any donor provided. Honestly not exaggerating at all, left more hungry than when we went in. I’ve been there on previous occasions and loved it but they have massively dropped their standards and over-inflated their prices. It’s a nice place inside, boujie decor and all that but means nothing if food is poor. The older gentleman’s service was not great either, kept clattering plates on the table and making thundering noises. I hope they revert to focussing on providing quality food and re-visit their pricing. Won’t be visiting again for a long time for sure!

Nice ambience and great food. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you like turkish food and your in this area!!

This place is the best kebab shop by far they didn't have what I wanted they called me to let me know so I went with what they did have available an was more then satisfactory really respectful staff an more then 5 star service

Good quality but too expensive for local Turkish restaurants

I came here with my dad. The food is one of the best ive had. Top turkish proffessionol chef here.

A nice place with good atmosphere. The overall look of this restaurant is really nice, and something that enhances your eating experience. The food was very nice, the meat was juicy while also being well seasoned which gave it overall great texture and flavour. Then there was the service, which was Beth quick and helpful, which allowed everyone to enjoy the meal and not have to worry about anything else. For the amount of food we were getting it was delivered to the table quickly and with haste, while still retaining the overall flavour. The staff were the main season for this and I am thankful that they were so open and helpful. They even helped with parking, which is something I know that they're not obligated to do at all, but is something that only elevates them in my eyes. A very nice place overall.

A small Turkish restaurant that is well served to the local community. It needs to update it's opening hours on line as it opens at 3 pm but advertises it opens at 2 pm. Food is good, service is good and the place is decent. No outside parking. It has disable entrance.

Their prices has gone up and portion sizes are smaller! The owner is rude and removes your plates without asking. The restaurant itself smells of the mens toilets! The toilets are nasty also.

Poor, had lamb shish, the shish was soggy, the pilaf bulgur was soggy. the salad did not have Turkish seasoning. Cost double than at Best Turkish Kebab across the road, which serves a better product. Very disappointed. Nothing compared to the likes of Taş Fırın in Bethnal Green for instance, who charge same sort of price.

Not sure why I’ve only just discovered this place. The food is very tasteful, the staff are really pleasant, welcoming and helpful, portions are generous. You will leave full and happy. A really good meal out locally. I’ve been with friend and my family that include young children. A fantastic experience each time. Really pleased to have this restaurant on our doorstep. Will definitely be treating more family and friends to a meal out here. Perfect spot for a catch up with friends, date night, birthday treat or family dinner.

Great restaurant, delicious food, will come back again

Amazing freshly made authentic Turkish food. Outstanding service from Tarik!

Been here few times now, the food never failed us

Best Keebab house in The East End.

They don't accept American Express cards! And I had something harsh in my meat from doner kebab, I could compare it to harsh granules or sand. Dreadful!! Couldn't eat it and lost money

Alex food and service is just mind blowing and food is very delicious, every time I go there restaurant is very busy but still staff is very good and food is very tasty and good quality.i recommend to all my family and friends.price also reasonable with good quntinity.best thing is they never compromised with food quality,no matter how much they busy.good Turkish restaurant.if there is 10 star I will give them 10.keep it up.

This place is my favorite and definitely one of the best, authentic turkish restaurants in london!!!! If you haven’t been here i highly recommend this restaurant!!!! Their service is unmatched and very efficient!!! The staff were very attentive and gave me more than what i asked. They went above and beyond in their service. I will always be coming back here! You have just gained a loyal customer 🤝

Possibly the best Turkish food I’ve had in a long time. The staff were incredible and warming. I felt so comfortable and the atmosphere was so cosy. I definitely recommend getting chicken doner and chicken sheesh mix. 10/10.

A real hidden gem in East Ham. Good food, good lads

Friendly staff with great food - would highly recommend.

Love dining at Alex's with my family whenever I come down to London. Super friendly service with a smile, heaps of tasty food as portions are very generous !! 😋

Friendly staff very clean lovely food

Sadly our experience here was not a good one, apart from one waiter who was helpful. The platter was a absolute disappointment, we ordered x2 platters each they run out of wings and failed to inform us. Served us 2 wings on each platter, when questioned they were not able to tell us what the quantity should be!!

We recently moved from Hackney to East Ham and Alex's is the best local restaurant we have tried. Really impressed with the food and service. Highly recommended.

Really lovely food been coming for over 30years just get better and better

Great food! The only 2 brothers in there where very friendly, definitely will be back! Keep up the good work 👍🏽

Nice Turkish Meze. My Mrs doesn't eat lamb normally but she liked the lamb chops from her which is a first. Well worth a visit

The food was lovely the service was good but we felt a little Rush for us to leave, it's like eat and just leaves that's why I've given them for 4 stars.

Neįtikėtina, kad toks geras restoranėlis gali būti šiame rajone. Tai tikras šio rajono perliukas. Tikrai skanus maistas, geros porcijos, malonus aptarnavimas ir kaina - nesikandžioja...! Tikrai dar sugrįšim čia!

Nice little place, friendly staff & good food...what's more do you want

Great atmosphere. Lovely staff. Beautiful food.

Been there so many times in the past, a few years ago and back then it was a nice place to go to. So I decided to go there again after a such a long time, Good Lord! What a huge improvement, the new decor, colour theme, the lighting… I absolutely loved it. Staffs were friendly as usual and the food was great as it’s always been. Highly recommended, I will defiantly go there again.

Best kebab shop in the area. The meat is fantastic, the rice is nice and the customer service is spot on. I will definitely buy from here again

Generous portions, good quality food and really pleasant staff!

A beautifully decorated restaurant with friendly staff and very tasty food

Great food fantastic service and friendly staffs

Czysto, smacznie, bardzo miła, sympatyczna obsługa!!!

Great food as always.came all the way from Manchester. Lamb shish to die for!! x

Brillaint customer service! Excellent wholesome food at affordable prices. When you're in there you feel like you're literally somewhere in a more affluent part of London due to the beautiful decor and vibes. This is an absolute gemstone amongst the rocks around. I've been coming for years and have seen this place constantly developing. 😊

Kind request to the owners ,please go back to the same meat supplier that you used in the past. This place had the BEST doner meat in London .Ordered food the other day ,to my surprise the quality of the meat wasn't the same as before. The restaurant looked good after an upgrade but the main bit 'FOOD' was a let down.

Great food, good prices, lovely staff.

Delicious food, staff is very friendly. Beautiful place

Kind, quick and amazing service. Food was really good and the restaurant interior is beautiful

Newly refurbished, comfy, clean and matches the amazing food they serve! Everything is always fresh and tastes phenomenal!

Food was lovely, however I paid £11 on uber eats for a shish/kofte and the portion size was minuscule, satisfactory as a childs portion only, I will be reverting back to best kebab by the bolyen

Absolutely fantastic food and you are made to feel special y all of the staff. Alex and his family run a tight ship and I am going to be a very regatta customer the food is amazing

After reading some great reviews, I was expecting a lot, but the place disappointed me a little bit. Doner meat was little bland, Beyti Kebab was nice but I've definitely had better ones.

Great food, beautiful presentation, big plates!!!! It worth it!!!

As always, food is on point, meat is very succulent and the bread isn't difficult to swallow. Beneath the meat is some rice, I'm not sure the name of exactly but mixed with some pulled chicken. This is the Platter for 4-5 on the menu. Can definitely feed more than 5 as it has just fed 7 people. I'd say a little more rice would be nice but otherwise the food is delicious. Very great customer service and they gave a drink on the house too which is very nice.

Best Turkish in the area. Friendly staff and issues I once had with them messing up my order appears to have been addressed.

Friendly staff, excellent service, delicious food

Gourmet burger was made perfectly; very generous patty size and had an authentic grill taste. Staff were very friendly. Took 35-40 mins to make the burger (was told 20 mins) but burger was cooked to specification. Chips were £2.50 for large but I found the portion provided to be a medium at best, so I don’t really recommend the chips here. They tasted decent and tasted even better with the garlic sauce. Looking forward to trying more items from Alex’s!

Great food. Great experience. 10 out of 10 5Star

I’ve just ordered from Uber eats and it’s lovely came how I ask , I ask for sauce they even gave , thank you so much

Professional and they quick ver polite team

The most delicious food I have are in London.

Highly recommend! Best Turkish I've ever had! Such a great menu and lovely people! I want to thank you guys for going out of your way for my wife who was pregnant and was craving your food, presentation was nicely done and food was so good and fresh as always!

Over 30 years eating from here. Still the same quality.

The best place ever for food ! Everythink is clear and the food have a wonderful taste ! Recommend!👏👏👏💖

Don’t order from here through Uber Eats, you get nothing like what you get when you go into the shop and collect. I ordered one week ago and got what was a great meal and pretty much the same as i would in the shop, order again this week and got a pitiful excuse against what we got last week. I ordered a lamb and diner kebab which normally has a skewers worth of lamb (about 5 pieces) and what turned up was some curled up doner and 3 small pieces. Also took an age to deliver so was just about eatable, if I hadn’t waited so long then I’d have sent it back. Summary; great place to eat and takeout if you go in and order. The guys are really friendly and the food is great. Order through anywhere else though it’s a lottery as to what you’ll receive.

Hands down one of the best Turkish kebab restaurant if not the BEST. Tim is always class in his customer service and Ali. Even though not local to me always travel just to pick up some delicious fresh kebabs keep it up! Habib

10/10 Turkish food! The best I ever had! And I been around lol
