Wanted to try this place for a long time. Place looked a bit dead and run down when we turned up. The food was good though. That orignal red doner.

Great food . Great customer service by mr moose . Everybody should try it

Greeted by friendly staff and tried their red doner kebab - really tasty with a spicy twist

Cant really say much other than the Red donner is decent..they dont really sell much stuff in this shop no chicken or fish, if they did would definatley be a go to for all, service needs to be a bit more faster but good donner👍🏼

The Donna is nice now before it was just too spicy

This is the UK's only red donner. It is the BEST.

3 guys serving and it still takes 25 mins for 3 kebabs. Service here is the worst ever.

Best red donner in England, amazing value and large portions. The red donner here taste amazing, I’ve been around many donner places around the UK, even Camel ONe in MAnchester and no one compares with Avenue Kebab house. I come here every week from Coventry. Place can do with a refurb and cleanliness.

Donners very nice second to none and something authentic out of Birmingham, but problem is leaves you on the toilet in agony for at least a day or 2. Before I eat from here I make sure my schedules cleared for at least the next day 😂😂. Foods nice but gives a bad stomach, hope owners fix this

I dont know why I bother going into places like these. Threw the food away after a few bites.

Been using avenue for a lot of years now The naan used to be more tasty the meat is still the best but what did make me stagger ( as well as a long drive from Cannock) that a senior member of staff had cross words with junior member and struck him across the face despite this being embarrassing for the lad he didn't deserve to be struck but disturbing for me and my partner who have both been result of domestic violence and have very nervous conditions and it unfortunately put me off my food Monday evening 29th August 22

We attended this venue and can say that it was average , I can remember this takeaway back in the day was extremely good and customers used to travel from far a field …. Interior looks tired and the menu is not brilliant. There is so much choice in Small heath , Avenue kebab house needs that facelift to make it competitive.

Bang on food for the price. Wait times can be quite long but no fault to the guys, their business is booming mA

Quality food for a very reasonable price. 👍

I went on a recommendation, I didn't mind the wait of 30 minutes due to the shop being busy with delivery orders, what I do mind is paying for something and not receiving the correct order! We were visiting family and instead of cooking we thought would take home the so called 'fantastic' food. On arriving home, 102miles away, not only did I find out we had been overcharged (on talking to our family) but the mixed kebab did not contain any donner meat!! The order was also missing the requested salad. The other food we bought from there for a family member was incomplete also. Not impressed whatsoever. Obviously will not be going there again on our next visit.

Very nice Red Doner meat. Good price and portions with excellent service.

Good size the meat was OK the nan bread was excellent. The chips where really bad. Don't think the oil was hot enough. I would eat here again 100% but I'd not have the chips

Best Donner kebab in Birmingham known for their red donner

Goated food place for the quality and price

I used to go to this place as a young person with my mates on a Friday and Saturday when it was owned by the original owner back in the late 80s. The red donner kebab in a pitta bread with salad and their special sauce was awesome. I had fond memories of this place. It was one of my favourite donner kebabs. I hadn't been here for around 20 odd years since it changed ownership. I went back yesterday to try the red donner in a pitta bread. Even though I finished it, it was not the same at all. Kebab was decent but not the same. I was disappointed. Tried to get my younger memories back but failed. Still a decent kebab but average. Apart from the meat being red it was no different to a standard kebab. Service was good and polite staff. Give it a whirl just for the red donner.

Original red donner place in Birmingham… Ask for large donner and fries, Mayo and salad… you won’t regret it, .. can get busy at times as everyone wants the spicy donner … Service can get slow but worth the wait.. Reasonable prices

Red donner pukka in a pitta bread

really delicious donner can't beat it

Ordered donner kebab in pitta n fries. Asked for salad and chilli sauce. What we got was dry donner, crumbly pitta and stale fries. No salad and no sauce. Food was awful. Never again from here. This food is not to my standard. I will go hungry but never to eat from here again!

Spent next week on the toilet..

Too spicy but great value. Very clean

Top food quality spicy donner meat! Been going here for over 7 years! Never disappointed!

First time here. Visiting from London. 10 / 10 red Donner. Good youngsters working hard. Keep up the graft. ☝️❤

I've been going to the avenue kebab House since 1989, still great value staff are friendly and helpful and the taste of the kebab is truly amazing.

After reading all the reviews on justeat most of them being absolutely terrible I admit I was quite hesitant about ordering from here. But the few fantastic reviews plus the pictures on their instagram swayed me. Being a Donner fan I don't like to be disappointed with portion sizes so we ordered 3 Donner's on naan to be on the safe side! We ended up getting it collected rather than ordering from justeat as their delivery times started a bit later. The Doner was absolutely delicious and I'm so glad we ignored the bad reviews and went ahead and decided to try for ourselves. It was flavoursome a perfect portion size we are big eaters and were very satisfied with 1 portion each we've saved the 3rd for later! Really happy with the food! 5 stars from me!

Decent service and prices were fine,

Great red Donner for when that craving hits, spicier than normal but less greasy also, polite customer dealing. Would recommend and will return.

Nice place for us not really for me

This place won't give you a 5* dining experience in terms of decor, but sure make up for that for their great tasting food and excellent customer service. Theyre know for being first for serving red doner kebab (different spices used).

Red spicy donner only place in Birmingham hot and spicy been around for over 20 years 10/10

This place never learns from experience ; lack of customer service,lack of food preparation & presentation ; staff think they are working from home and not take away 🙄

What can I say Avenue kebab house situated on green lane are known for there amazing spicy red donner meat . I enjoyed it so much I got a full large tray of it on its own and was feasting on this with my partner.

They only have one decent thing on the menu which is the red donner. I wouldn't buy anything else from here. The service is also slow. They guy behind the counter was busy using his phone rather than preparing orders.

This place has the best red doner , excellent customer service & really clean will definitely recommend to family/friends 🔥

Rubbish and disgusting dirty restaurant

Old skool takeaway. Red donner is a must after a few beers & a session with the lads. Gets it right every time. However the service is on the poor side.

The food was not as nice as the last i visited. We ordered large donner meat in pitta meal for the family. Reasons being: donner meat was very dry, very small amount of salad, pitta bread wasn't heated at all so felt chewy, no chilly sauce given even after several requests and reminders and very small portion of chips. Very disappointed with the food as i ordered for my family that came over and it was their first time trying the red donner meat.

Horrible owners pure thiefs all they interested in is ripping off suppliers/cuustomers.

Red donner was okay nothing special. Just food colouring and masala. The service is terrible. Sometimes the donner is so dry. The prices are way over the top. They pricing donner meat like its organic beef. The hygiene of the shop is terrible and the chips and how they are made in a small fryer is disgusting. Please use beard protectors i had a hair in my chips last time I went

Another place that will handle food without gloves after handling money too! Food is cheap & cheerful however.

Nice unique red donna - sunday ques were quite long, kebab roll had to get changed midway but manager dealt with the unexpected delay well.

Proper donner 100% meat not amix of what ever donner is made of.

the original red donna kebab pukka and good prices

Honestly can you beat this donner?!...best in brum!

Smashed the red Donner... have 2 try

Quality kebabs but need to improve on service

Red Donner is what I will say..

Burgers just supper tasty friendly but not much English spoken good choice fesh cooked if there was a six star I'd give that to

Have been going there for a long time since the old uncle been there I think he sold the place to someone who doesn't have a clue on how to run a business. Nice red Donner meat service was the worst I've ever had. Two cheeky kids tried to serve me some stale fries. Wont be going back there very very poor customer service

Ok for a 1 off, looks a bit run down though

That red donor is just as great as ever Only thing stopping them getting a full 5 stars is that the rest of the food seems average and choices are very limited.

So me and a few friends decided we will take a drive to try out the 'red spicy donner' (35min drive from were we live).. Upon arrival i was disappointed due to us having to set our own table up because the table was tucked away as if they were closing, 1hr 10min before actual closing time. I had to ask to wash our hands behind the counter due to the table legs bein very very greasy. When the food arrived the Burger Bun was rock hard on the bottom side. The fries were SUPER SKINNY fries that were so hard to even pick up with our fingers, let alone taste them bein as how thin they were. The spicy donner meat was actually quite nice. They had no tissues, wet wipes or washing facilities for our hands so after the meal we all had to politely ask if it is possible to use the sink behind the counter which the staff were moaning about.. Overall we was disappointed with the food hence why each one of us didn't finish our meals and through it in the bin. I have got diarrhoea today aswell as 4 of my friends.. I strongly do not recommend this place to eat. If i can rate lower than '0' i definitely would!

Very good service. However some of the workers struggle to understand English but theres always someone there to translate. Excellent food with good pricing. Recommend purchasing Red Donner with fries or, red donner burger or red donner wrap

Avenue kebab house is the home of the famous red doner meat.

Nice food, nice people and only place where you can get red chilli dinner. Yum:)

It's OK, since the upgrade/ switch the quality seems to have changed. Saying that the cleanup and refurb has made the place more welcoming. However the food needs to upgrade as well. Also red Donner meat, the grease needs to be reduced why is there so much.

Banging food love the spicy red donner

donner meat is fire coming in and even better comin out

Great Place as always. The taste hasn't changed. Still as tasty as the first time I ate from here.

Nice food however kids are serving and very slow service

The diner kebab is fire 🔥 it’s so tasty.It’s spicy ans fresh . I suggest u go but not everyday because it’s not that healthy

Rude customer service. Guy working there doesn't know how to speak to people.

Well this is a legendary take away and as a local I'm happy to see it refurbished back up and runnig as this take away is the origin of the real red Donna Kebeb well worth a try guy...

Honestly been going there since I was a kid probably as iconic to the Birmingham streets as The MailBox well atleast for me, so the Donnie is red! And the reason it’s red is as it’s getting prepared primarily it’s prepared with grounded spices which give it a red colour it’s a must try atleast once in your life!

Used to be the best donner in town. Still is very spicy but nothing compared to the good ol days

Can't beat the red donor, on the downside took far too long, almost 40 mins, served customers who came after and worked at a snails pace

I read the glowing reviews about this kebab house, and visited with great expectations. How disappointed was I? I ordered a Kebab with chips and was dismayed to be served the meat out of a 'hot pot' rather than be freshly sliced. Not sure how long it had been in there but it didn't taste all that special. I like hot food and it did contain a lot of chillies, but that is not all you want in a kebab. You should be able to taste the different herbs and spices, rather than the chillies just overpowering your taste buds. Another issue was no salad. Kebabs are supposed to be served with salad as far as I'm concerned, so this was a problem. The accompanying chips were not freshly cut potatoes. Probably came out of a frozen packet. Overall i was not impressed. The only good thing was the chillie sauce which was above average.

Do not let the look of the store keep you away. It has the best Donner Meat in Birmingham, It is different to all the rest and has a nice kick to it through its spices and this is what keeps customers coming back. The staff are friendly and the value for money is outstanding and everything is cooked fresh Great little kebab shop

You can't beat there donner! No chance

The red Donner kabab is amazing Love this place.

Doner nan is so tasty from this shop.

best red donner bu everything else is disgusting and looks like itsdecayed

Red donner (spicy donner) is the best from here. Not tried anything else apart from red donner.

Donner and chicken tikka is good, rest of the food isn't so great, very dated

Red doner was the best back years ago

This place is cheap, but its like buying saw dust.

I used to advocate this had the best donner for miles. Sadly, it's changed hands and the quality has disappeared. Fries were dry, meat was tasteless. What a shame.

The best donner meat in b10 very chilli but amazing if you love chilli this is the donner meat for you this place has been around most my childhood and the food is amazing definatley proud to be a regular

Well was recommended by a friend & the kebab was brill. Cant go wrong cheap and cheerful. Plus the portion was massive. So for a cheap night go there.👍😊

Best thing from here is the red donner meat

Went there just for the kebab as that's what's it's known for the only shop that serves red donner and they make it them self's for what we told. It was good but I think the person who served me probably needs his hearing tested as I told him no chille sauce and there was loads on it.other then that would visit again.

This place is strictly for donner kebab fans. They have their very own unique recipe which is 80% lamb and slightly spicy giving a unique red colour. Absolutely amazing in taste ive never had a better donner and believe me ive tried many.. The shop was one of the first in birmingham and bless them there still going strong. Although the decor looks although its from the same era, the food is great! Dont expect it to be all flashing lights and mega seating area, its a small shop u might even miss if you drive too fast, but its astonishing value for money and the donner is the best in my opinion. Ps. Always order small and in a pitta bread, Avoid naan bread and their large is like two peoples meals.

Food is nice sham they not got good rapping,, the rapping is very poor for England...

I just order from this place, one of the worst place's I've ordered from in a very long time. The order was a big order of 4 small pizza's customized to how me and my partner wanted them, a garlic bread pizza, jacket potatoe, small fries, chicken pakora's and 2 cans of 7-up. The only thing with this entire order that they got right was the drinks, fries and pakora's, the rest they had ignored EVERYTHING we said we wanted and just put random crap on the pizza's. Even when we told them no spices on two of the pizza's due to me having an allergy to spice's they put spices and peppers on ALL the pizza's and if I had taken a bite out of them it would have put me in hospital also asked for 3 vegetarian pizza's they decided they didn't want to make the pizza's we wanted so they put meat on all the pizza's. Had to call them up twice to find out where the order had gotten to and couldn't get a straight answer out of them and their driver was a passive aggressive man who couldn't speak english and basically threw the food into my parnter's arms when he bothered to turn up with the food. The pizza's were burnt and barely warm, the fries were barely cooked and tasted like water, the curry sauce tasted like it came out the back of a cow, the mint sauce wasn't labled correctly, the pizza's were all wrong when it came to toppings, they barely spoke a word of english, they were rude, they were aggressive, they didn't know what their staff were doing at any time and the only advice I would give anyone about ordering from here is to avoid it like the plague. Advice for the business is shut down or at least sell it to someone that know's how to run a business, how to cook food and how to read instructions of what the person wants not what they think the person should eat.
