Absolutely terriable. My donner wrap was cold , like stone cold. I took it back and they made me a new one which was also cold. The shop was very dirty with donner meat all over the shop floor. This place needs reviewing. Not good !

The worst kebab I have ever eaten. The kebab meat was terrible taste even my dog puked up. The shop is run by 15 year old kids and should be shut down. They even had the cheek to charge me extra for salad which I did not ask for - it was a meat and chips I ordered. I will be calling the council to go round there and do a hygiene assessment. Believe me guys don’t bother going there. No wonder they are not busy and either change of management need to take note! This used to be the best kebab shop but since previous management left this place has gone downhill totally.

Noticed different people working in the shop and it was chaos. No salad on view. When it was time for my order collection I repeated my order to be told it’s all there! I said I hope so as last time didn’t get it all! Well it happened again, No salad, husbands burger was dry and my chicken was poor quality. Used to be great with the old team/owners. Won’t be going there again.

Great food, great portions, great taste, this is a great place to get amazing kebabs. Very accommodating and always happy to help.... I travel a good few miles to go to this place, and it is well worth it..... fantastic food and well worth a visit 😀

Always get our Friday nights kebabs from Babo’s absolutely delicious even the chips are great. We have tried most of the other kebab shops in Maidstone but none of them are as good as Babo’s keep up the great work.

As they told me, the place recently has changed ownership. Well. It was an amazing! Excellent customer service, freshly cooked food and amazing taste! I had a chicken shish wrap and asked for extra halloumi cheese and it was just delicious 🤤 also had chips and mozzarella sticks which was freshly cooked and hot. Definitely recommend this place!

Clearly they are making money hand over fist during lockdown. Which won't last! Rang about an order that was wrong. Nice food, hence why I ordered. But hey, when things go wrong, they can't deal with it. After politely raising the issue of wrong food, was promptly dismissed by the 'lady' and told "get ya food somewhere else ". Nice.

Expensive and utterly disgusting. Worst kebab i've ever encountered. Need to up their game significantly. Very poor. Meat cold and tasteless, chilli sauce (if that's what you call it!) was putrid and far too overpowering. Sald was a wet mess.

We have used Babos for many years as it’s our local kebab house. We are regular customers (order at least once a month) however we have started to see a turn for the worst! Hence this review. We always order the same food (chicken shish and chips x 2) however, we have encountered many times recently when food has arrived cold. This is unacceptable as we live less than a minutes drive away (I know this sounds lazy but sometimes it’s easier to pay for delivery than to go out). The chicken has also lately been chewy and grisly and represents cheap chicken.We decided to place the same order tonight as we always do however this time through their app and the wrong food arrived. I tried to check the order on the app bit it doesn’t state what you have ordered, just that the order has been placed (and I think I know what a Chicken Shish is by now). When I called to question the order, the person on the phone wasn’t interested in the slighted and just read me my order that I couldn’t see. With our latest encoumter, I will not be ordering from Babos again and will also be telling my freinds and family who all live in the local vacinity to use a different kebab house. Such a shame for what was once a good place to get food. They obviously don’t care about returning businesses. Order at your own risk!

We order from this Fast Food place often. The pizza is always spot on, the kids love the Meat Feast pizza with the thin crust. I always order the chicken wrap and hubby goes for the lamb wrap. Huge portions great idea for a family movie night. Food is always warm and the delivery is quick.

Servicio terrible, personal grosero que apenas hablaba inglés y la comida mala. Me he engañado en el menú, al parecer, que específicamente pide una ensalada, aunque los estados unidos menú "sirven con ensalada 'bajo el artículo. La comida era horrible, fría y dio indigestión. Peor atención al cliente que he recibido, no los utilizan.

La agradable sorpresa de encontrar este lugar que ofrece un servicio de entrega y para llevar.Pedimos 2 pizzas con casa con hambre y pudimos pagar por PayPal.Había un montón de variedad y la comida era barato.Nuestra entrega llegamos un sábado por la noche dentro de una media hora, caliente y sabrosa. Realmente excelente servicio y una botella de bebida gaseosas que mi hija agradecer! Sin duda de nuevo en vez de dominos o Pizza Hut más del doble de lo que son el precio y tardan más en llegar! ! !

Very unhappy, the fish was very dry and flaky, nowhere near fresh, the chips were very poor which also seems to be a common thing lately as this place and many others seem to turn to poor quality, frozen chips, I can purchase 25Kg sacks of premium spuds for £3 not far from Maidstone so there's no excuse! Price was fair, well it would've been if the food was up to standard. I'd give them another go by choosing a different meal but only one more chance. It does always worry when I see a place like this with a very overcrowded varied menu. Jack of all, master of none comes to mind.

Pizzas are of good quality and most of the rest of the menu is as you would expect from and fish bar/fish and chip shop. Ok for price but they always leave a terrible mess of rubbish and waste at the back of the store.

Always go for the combination wrap. Also love the pickled chilli's they do. Only occasionally they get a little confused with the order when placed over the phone. Apart from that very tasty

Really disappointed. Booked through justeat and usually use a different company but was swung by the volume of positive feedback for Babo's . Delivery time was ok but I left specific instructions not to ring the doorbell; the delivery driver did and woke up my sleeping toddler. I asked why and said that I'd specifically asked for a phone call on arrival, he just said he didn't speak English and walked away. The pizza itself was really doughy and undercooked and i had to put it in my own oven to make it edible (which defeated the object of a takeaway). I will never use Babo's again.

Good food, especially the pizzas and outstanding chips (chips are nicer than their fries). The price is very cheap compared to other pizza/kebab kinds of shops in this area. The delivery staff are always polite and friendly. The pizzas always come quickly. We have also had burgers from there which were very nice.Thank you Babos

We eat from Babos regularly, 2-3 times a month. The food is very good, one of the best kebabs in maidstone. Unfortunately the staff are not so good - it's difficult to place a phone order and they can be incredibly rude/disrespectful. They would do well to employ people on the phone that can do basic mathematics.

The food is very average to be honest your fairly safe with fish chips and kebabs, however the pizzas are terrible, dont expect mozzarella chees and a tomato sauce thats bursting with Italian flavours its just the bland mass produced caterers type ready grated cheese thats more texture than tatse, that said it fills a hope if your desperate for a delivery and you live innthe middle of knowwhere like I do.

I ordered a small doner kebab and margehretta pizza, the doner kebab was absolutely fine, but the margehretta pizza came with no tomato at all. I phoned up babos and they said I had ordered the pizza like that, so I asked to change my order but they said they would not do this, I went up to the actual shop, and asked for a change face to face, the service I got was horrific, they Said I had to have an extra to get tomato on the pizza. I said fine then I'm going to put a bad report of you, they then replied with a threat that if I did that they would remove it, I felt really threatened. The overall customer service was DISGRACEFUL!!!! They said are you stupid all pizzas come like this, they were highly abusive and used threatening language, I came so close to calling the police.

Never pre order from here you can guarantee they will always get your order wrong every time and don't care about the fact they get it wrong ever they seem to get the most pleasure out of making sure they get the kids meals wrong the most so that the kids are left hungry and I wouldn't even bother letting them know that they have it wrong as they just reply back with What can i do hahahahha i dont care avoid this place as much as u can standards started slipping at the beginning if the year and now it's just gone completely down hill

I saw the bad reviews and thought as we had a good experience I would offer my rating. We live in the middle of nowhere so expected problems, however our food arrived with no difficulties and earlier than expected. Our pizzas were piping hot and extremely tasty. We will definitely be using Babos again

Such a happy chappie in the Babo Bar!! The chips are always good (& the kebabs) and the service is good, especially requirement of extra ketchup for the kids! Always happy to see me and the children after Linden Lea club now and then for a treat! And the kids love getting a lollipop now and then too! Thankyou for your kindness, good food and service!

We are regular customers of this takeaways, and tonight their chicken burger was served with fresh lettuce (around the outside only and dark brown mushy lettuce in the middle) and instead of their normal sized regular portion of chips, a larger (3 day old hard and tasteless) more generous version.Definately something to concider when ordering on a sunday night at the end of the month!

Food and coffee typical costa standard. Let down by the staff. We were in the hotel next door for two days and intended to breakfast there. 1st day we arrived 20mins after advertised opening and they were only just getting ready so we ended up in the McDonald's as did two other customers (opened about 15 to 20 minutes later) Following day we arrived 15.minutes after opening, waited couple. Of minutes girl removed the board at entrance, then was off hand when we asked if it was OK to go in, then we still had to wait for the counter staff to get ready. OK food. And drink but could really do with getting act together.

Took my son and his friends for lunch after trampolining. Waited over 20 minutes for our order, which was freezing cold and a burger short which had to then be made. No apology for the missing item. Clearly not the staffs fault, but it was also complete chaos - teens throwing food, swearing and generally making a nuisance of themselves, so couldn't even eat our cold burgers and soggy chips in peace. Definitely won't be back!
