Bakhan Restaurant in Croydon

Food was fresh and perfect, staff were polite and service was very fast!

Best food with reasonable prices

Best authentic levantine food in London

Good food and friendly people. Parking on the street. From shawarma, grill to quozy, all the food here it is delicious. We been amazed to try their delicious dihes. I recommend them.

Great Kurdish food on the go! & the people are nice too!

Delicious food, great value for money and very nice people. 10/10

Good food but the quantity has reduced and they have started to ration the lentil soup which is a petty!

Lovely stuff and the food was amazing . Thank you 🌹

Delicious shawarma and flavorful shish kebabs—packed with taste and perfectly prepared!

Friendly staff and delicious food plus you can see is fresh 👌🏼

This place is absolutely amazing ❤️ the food is delicious and the atmosphere is lovely. We were served and look after by Zidane who was such wonderful person. I definitely recommend this place with is traditional Iranian food!

The lamb kebab was of poor quality and had an unpleasant smell. We left the food untouched, and the staff didn’t even inquire why we didn’t eat or ask how they could improve. I recommend avoiding this place.

Would highly recommend the Kurdish Kebab beautiful and tasty

I have waited 20 minutes then they said we don’t have it yet. Then I left !! The young waitress lady was rude to me(waitress has to be very polite)! Food is good but service is rubbish.. Not recommended

I was really surprised by the quality of the food here! It's some of the best kebab I've had in a long time, and their lamb shish and bread and soup are amazing. The service is also top. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic service and amazing staff I encourage everyone to come I have had the best cut ever

Bakhan Restaurant in Croydon is an absolute gem for anyone who loves Middle Eastern cuisine. I’ve had the pleasure of dining here multiple times, and each visit has been a delightful experience. The standout for me has to be their mixed shawarma—it’s simply delicious! Mixed Shawarma: The mixed shawarma is a perfect blend of juicy, flavorful chicken and tender, spiced lamb. The meat is perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. The seasoning is just right, with a combination of savory spices that bring out the best in both meats. It’s served with fresh salad, garlic sauce, and pita bread, making it a complete and satisfying meal. The portion size is generous, so you definitely get your money’s worth! Other Dishes: Beyond the shawarma, the menu offers a wide range of Middle Eastern specialties. I’ve tried their kebabs and falafel, and both were excellent. The meat is always tender, and the flavors are authentic and rich. Their side dishes, like hummus and baba ganoush, are fresh and pair perfectly with the main courses. Service: The staff are friendly and attentive, always making sure you have everything you need. The food is served promptly, and the overall service is smooth and professional. Atmosphere: The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. It’s perfect for both casual dining and family gatherings. The decor is simple yet inviting, giving off a relaxed vibe where you can comfortably enjoy your meal. Value for Money: The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes and the quality of the food. Whether you’re dining in or getting a takeaway, you’ll feel satisfied with the overall experience. If you’re in Croydon and craving something flavorful and filling, I highly recommend trying Bakhan Restaurant, especially their mixed shawarma. It’s a true standout on the menu and will leave you coming back for more!

Nice owner and the food is fresh and tasty

I had my 3rd visit great service professional staff very hygienic tasty food I will definitely go this place from now on.

I’ve just found my new favourite Kurdish restaurant…we started off with some lentil soup which was absolutely delicious and 2 freshly baked Kurdish nan bread,I had the chicken kebab with all the beautiful fresh salad while my son had a portion of chips and I have to say the kebab and salad was outstanding while after I had some lovely refreshing Kurdish tea,the restaurant is really nice with friendly staff and I will be visiting again next time I’m in west Croydon…I highly recommend this place and you won’t be disappointed with great food and reasonably good prices…I will give Balham a big 10 out of 10 👍(only 2 min walk from west Croydon rail station)

Went here for the first time today. The owner and staff are all absolutely lovely. The Food is, no word of a lie the best I have eaten ever all home cooked delicious fresh ingredients can’t recommend highly enough.

This place is incredible. Easily the best restaurant in Croydon. I came here for the first time today with my friend. We were treated like VIPs the moment we walked through the door. The owner and staff are all lovely. The food is freshly cooked and absolutely delicious, they look after you so well in here and we will continually come back and recommend this place to everyone!

The staff are extra special and extremely helpful, polite. I would recommend this place the food was so tasty and felt like an authentic shawarma taste. Thank you!

Who ever goes to west Croydon try this hotel... Wowww yummy

Superb food with super friendly service. They also put on some nice Arab music (Nancy Ajram etc.) Will return for sure.

I’m surprised and shocked , the waiter there spoken to us in bad manner , I asked the management if can have anther waiter , and they did, but the surprise was , when we left the restaurant the waiter follow us outside to fight physically with us and he brought his friends with him and swear badly !! And he try to use his hand to fight but his friends hold him !!! If we didn’t try to skip we could be dead by now!!. I did reported to police, and escalated.

The waiter was extremely rude. First I thought it's because I don't tip him. I used to date a Kurdish girl in Belgium. I learnt how to dance and eat Turkish food. They always expect you to speak their language which is weird. I went to a Turkish restaurant during Ramadan and they were extremely mean, expecting me to be fasting. Long story short, close minded and hard headed.

Very rude unprofessional stuff they got no manner how to approach customer I used to go every Sunday but from now on I ll never go again I m soo disappointed btw the food is amazing

Very rubbish and disgusting food served not cooked , this place should be cloused am gonna report it for sure ,

Amazing spot for food. Authentic and original. Service is top standard and will definitely be coming back

Welcomed right away. The smell hits you right when you in and it’s amazing. Ordered two chicken shawarma wraps and sat back and watched the naan get made fresh. The chicken was moist and flavorful. All the veggies were fresh and the garlic sauce was good and still let you taste the rest of the food. Four more days in London and I’ll be back for sure at least once. Maybe more depending on how the food stops go for the rest of my trip. The kebabs looked amazing and are for sure on my radar.

Was staying in Croydon for a few days while passing through London. We always like finding local food whenever we travel someplace new, Croydon is multicultural, and I've always liked shawarma so I searched and found Bakhan near the top of the list. Food was INCREDIBLY good, and the staff was extremely helpful in figuring out how to order effectively (haha!). Lamb shish + chicken shawarma were amazing, veggies were crisp and cold, sauces were perfectly balanced. Locals were very friendly and sociable, had a great time chatting and getting new recommendations for the area!

Fantastic place! I’m tired of paying £70- £80 every Friday night date night so decided to look for places where you can feast for £25 and I found Bakhan. I have been here before, but I forgot how reasonable it was compared to other Turkish places in the area (mentioning no names). Great quality food at Café prices. Now romance can blossom without breaking the bank. I should also mention we were treated very respectfully, by the super friendly boss!

It's a very cool place and helpful staff. I highly recommend this place.

the foods are good, The staff care about you and they are very polite, i recommend it.

when i came here all the time i taste REAL Kurdish food , they serve the best quality of food and so tasty

Very respectful and friendly staffs They offered me a free drink and an amazing haircut best in the area I highly recommended it

Friendly family restaurant, good fresh food, tasty and the service is good. It's always nice to stop by after a hard day at work, not feeling like cooking and have a hearty shawarma!

Customer service needs some working.

Amazing food and such greta taste, and top customer service so kind and friendly will come again.

Very delicious i tried Kurdish qozi meat which was 10/10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

Always a good experience when we visit. The food is great and the staff friendly.

If you like meat and the simple fresh taste it is not a high end joint but worth a try. Price very reasonable taste great staff friendly a stomach full satisfaction for sure.

Great price for really good fresh food. Well done, keep it up!

Good quality food and services, dine in with my husband and baby loved their food and service

Excellent portions, excellent price and very delicious food

Very nice restaurant and welcoming staff,the food is great and so cheap it’s amazing 🤩

Best shawarma in London. Cheap. Good customer service

The boys at Bakhan strike again!!!!! The food is to die for in this joint. Hands down the best Kurdish restaurant in South London if not London. The lamb kozi just melts in your mouth and the rice is just pillowly soft, perfection! The team here is just amazing and so hospitable. The environment is rustic and clean and reminds me of a time gone by. Trust me people if you want amazing food come to this place, you will be licking your fingers and leave with new memories and a new place you can count on for great food! Bakhan never dissapoints!!! Top tips: Ask the Shaam and Shwan the Chef for recommendations, they are honest and will give you the best. Try the shwarmas, the salad here is tasty and fresh. The tea is great.. add some sugar.

Quality food always, great staff too friendly and always give complimentary items. The bread is amazing!

Good portions sizes, authentic food and good sevice

Always the best shwarma in croydon

One of good foods i had good customer experience good staff one who served me he was best

The most beautiful welcome, the most delicious food, very clean, of course I will repeat, I wish them success

Good desserts in a nice ambiance.

Really nice quality shawarmas and plenty of meat and salad however if eating here must eat at the shop as the food gets cold quick and soggy but perfect taste and lovely mixture of sauces

Been here a few times now and the food is amazing 10/10 I ordered a chicken Shish with Nan and I already got a nan and then I got given 3 more I was stuffed when I was fished and then I was about to get 2 more!! I was too full to eat any more even though the nans are amazing. The meat is also really juicy, tender and seasoned well. Highly recommend this place

taste is good but not good service, the server and order taker never understand and listen properly.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! 👌🍽️😊

the food is delicious and the staff is friendly

Amazing, friendly service. Recommended us food to try, so tasty and good value. Paid about £14 for 2 large wraps and 2 complimentary soups on the side. Really nice decor inside, would defo visit again!!

I'd never tired of being taken this food again and again!nice Restraurent by the way! The size and combination of ingredients was smooth and tasty!

I have been coming here for many years, always on point. This place serves delicious authentic Kurdish cuisine. It has a rustic, cafe style vibe. Try their lamb kozi served with rice, naan and a side of aubergines in tomato sauce. The lamb shawarma is the best in croydon and on par with the giants of Edgware Road. The team @ Shohaab leads is so wonderful and very hospitable. This a gem within Croydon and I will be back for more!

The Chicken Shawarma wrap is the best thing I've tasted in a long time - delicious! Everyone is really friendly and happy.

I have been there twice already and it would appear they "never" have falafel for some bizarre reason only to be advised "to come back tomorrow" when clearly I want to try their falafel wrap meal "now". Until they have falafel to buy and sell, I have little to no option but to give them 1 star ratings.

Good experience. I always go to this restaurant, I can tell Bakhan restaurant is the best one in London Borough.

Great prices and quality food. Friendly staff. What more can you ask for?

Excellent food. Good value for money. Awesome service.

delicious food,clean restaurant

The food is amazing and the staff is the nicest i have never met

I collected some dishes today for my sister (who is on an eternal diet). I seldom visit Croydon and this was in fact my first visit to this restaurant. Upon entering, the gentleman behind the counter greeted me and gave me a quick insight into many of their dishes. I placed my take-away order and proceeded to wait. The gentleman was extremely kind and asked me to sit at the table (as I await for my order) with a complimentary bowl of delicious lentil soup. What an extremely kind gesture! My dieting sister loved the cuisine so much so that she enquired as to the name of the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Had a chicken shawarma and suleimani.Really liked the taste of shawarma with all mix and spices.Suleimani is outstanding will take you to your nostalgic Arabic tunes in your ear....

Delicious food and generous people. Would definitely visit again.

I Have been going here since my daughter was 6/7 yrs young...she is now an Adult... I/We Love it here, the staff are second to none..... Food is Fantastic.. Thanks, Martin.🥂👍👍

Epic food, nice layout, big menu

Bardzo dobre jedzenie , dodają extra placki, herbatę zupę , wygląda że w pakiecie z zamówieniem ,cena też niezła ok 20 funtów za 2 osoby

I'm not sure how this place has a 4.4 rating. We were served a lamb kebab that was burnt and the meat tasted off. The chicken kebabs were dry and bland. The size of the dishes are the size of a starter. Very poor food. The only positive is the tasty jalapeños which are from a jar! Big let down.

The meal we ordered was delicious. The price was reasonable. And the waitress was wonderful!

Nice clean place and good grub shawarma sandwiches are good but need a little more chicken in them

Service was good but food was not great. Very fatty lamb....did not enjoy the lamb wrap at all.

Very bad customer service and no cleanliness

This restaurant use to be good, not any more unfortunately.

Delicious food, lamb skewers were very juicy and succulent, beans and lentils soup was full of flavour

Delicious food, excellent value.
