Balgalores Best Kebab in Havering

We ordered a take away which although arrived hot, our large doner wrap was dreadful! The meat was tough, nobbly & dry. The salad was almost non existent We have been using this takeaway since day one but not anymore. Such a shame as the prices are dear, will be going to the chip shop next time!!! Very disappointed.

I used to be a big fan of the food at this place, but, in my opinion, the quality has declined. It's become inconsistent – sometimes it's quite enjoyable, and other times, I've received old double-fried chips that are not appetizing, and the meat can be hit or miss as well, except for the Shish meat.

Food is always super tasty! I recommend the Lamb/Chicken Shish

The staff here are friendly but the food is very average and quite tasteless. Ordered a chicken doner wrap, was a good size but the bread was too thin and it was loaded with wet salad which made it soggy. I don’t think I’ll be coming here again, overall I wasn’t happy with what I paid for.

huge disappointment tonight , ordered kebabs , told my friend how they never let me down and the orders are always great , tonight turned up meat chips and extra bread , forgot my dips , salad and the extra bought dips , phoned and was told add to the next order , but tonight’s meals were ruined , dry and pretty tasteless without the dips and salad and pointless bread with no dips , i’ll be going elsewhere in future , gutted and very disappointing ,

Please take a look at the photo, I don’t think I have this much oil in my car. Will not return or recommend. When I first started using these they were spot on. Maybe complacency.

Not bad had better but then I had a lot worse

Orderd a chicken shish kebab,and what I got was 4 small pieces of chicken on a lump of bread, it wouldn't of been enough for a child's meal, a waste of £12

Over priced and always shut when you need it

I got a mixed lamp and chicken Donna and chip £8.00 . It was so tasty, and the potion was massive. Tasty and good value for money..

Fresh food, quick service, I would say that the staff is a bit brash at times, but I guess that comes with the area they operate in. It's rough sometimes. Main thing is the meat and the chicken, the quality is very good.

Standards have dropped heavily. Was a go to place for us for a long while. Doesnt compare to competitors in the same area. Just smell the donner when it arrives, was either burned like dead skin or barely steamed in other.

Exactly what I think of when I want a kebab. Hasn't failed to hit the spot yet.

Personally 1st time here... Chicken Kebab was delicious! ALSO BREAD IS AMAZING 👏🏻 Generous portion! I am stuffed with thanks! I have requested extra pepper and I received it a generous portion with thanks! Salad was separate as per order and a good portion! I love good food and always appreciate it. This was great to my taste... Please ask if a customer need a cutlery. Food is great. Many thanks!

I have been going here for some time now got a family meal it's was the worse one I have had it's was all dry not the same and with only 1 star ⭐ rate on food and hygiene no more for me

Delicious chicken kebab! Absolutely generous portions! As per request and nice that salad was separate! One more thing the bread is so tasty it's not ordinary pitta it's so soft, fresh and delicious! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Always had great food, no matter the time of day we order!

Completely wrong order given to me. Awful food and terrible service. However this fast food outlet has ever managed to remain in business is beyond me. Prices are over inflated and the food served I wouldn’t feed to a dog. I will be reporting their filthy place to trading standards no wonder they only have a food rating of 4. Rear door to food prep area wide open, rubbish bins right next to the door, no PPE OR FOOD HYGIENE protection worn by staff. REVOLTING.

Food here was amazing fresh. Portion and price were great. I will definitely order again. Did not like the chilli sauce but the garlic sauce was very good. prompt delivery

I always forget to take a picture of the food because I want to eat it so fast. The portions are really big. I highly recommend

Needed a takeout on a Friday and we weren't disappointed. Food was fantastic especially their kebab, and pizza. Would recommend. I will be back for more. Great food

Doesn’t accepted card. Wales to a cash point to then received just a box of chips without the rest of my order. Awful.

These guys are super lovely. So polite and friendly. They changed my order to suit ne and it was delicious. Crow lane they will know. Deserved a good review. Their pizza is amazzzzzing x

Nice but expensive. Also very few vegan options

Really rude on the telephone never order again from them

Used to be good from here but has gone downhill. Food arrived all soggy, barely any salad. Chips were cold, chicken (shish) was tough and stingy on sauce pots.

Tried Balgores for the first time in several years and glad I did. Bought a chicken and lamb shish and both were cooked perfectly. Meat was high quality, tender and very well seasoned. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful kebabs, very friendly staff

Chicken special kebab, what can I say… Spot on as usual, very delicious

Half decent food but I went to collect my order and they told me cash only. I'm sure I have paid by card before and their website shows verified by all card providers. They made me run around to two cash machines, as one wasn't working and the one that was working charges. They should maybe tell their customers on the phone before collecting that the only accept cash. I definitely will not be going back.

Food is great. However I haven't been in a while and the portion sizes now are absolutely ridiculous... Do not match the price! So small and I don't think I'll he going again now.

Got a mix kebab and wow fantastic massive portions shame I live 300 miles away as this place would be my new local takeaway

Always grateful food best kebab in Romford ........

A real shame! Food is good however, the attitude of some staff is appalling. He made an error with my orde, but my fault apparently?? And he was happy to argue with me. Then proceeded to take my food to an open bin to scrape it off rather than doing it fresh. Got a fresh one in the end whilst he moaned to another worker standing next to him. Again real shame

This is the best Turkish Takeaway in London. It' not close enough to Ilford for delivery, so we usually order 'Belgores special' and drive there to collect. A good portion for 3-4 people, very tasty 😋 Amazing staff members. I would recommend it 👌

Food is always spot on...and always good helpings..

All ways high quality kebabs, and it's rare to find good kebab chips but this place has them.

Pizzas were ordered at a friend's and the delivery was atrocious, over 2 hours

Absolutely awful, 5th time I’ve been missing items so I called them today and they said they aren’t refunding me they’ll just send the other bits out to which they said will be 45 mins. Then when I said I would just prefer the refund for missed items they changed it and said we delivered your food early so technically there’s still 19 mins to get ALL your food delivered. Surely it should be delivered ALtogether anyway. To which I then explained the rest of the food will be cold. They laughed down the phone to me and shouting at his colleague swearing and being unprofessional and so I asked for his name as I’ve got half my order missing and he’s not helping me as to how I go about a refund and he said just call me boss man, I asked for his real name to which he replied listen mate you ain’t getting a refund thanks bye and then hung up the phone. So frustrating and disgraceful

Been a good customer here and my family and friends for many years as you will see from my previous review. HOWEVER went there last night for a lamb wrap (11.12.20) and when I got home I was extremely angry about the content. The portion of lamb was less than half the normal portion I used to get and it was so greasy as well. The price has also increased. Went to the Frying Pan after as I was still hungry and ordered the same. It makes Balgores look like a second rate outfit, their wrap was packed with meat and not greasy. Balgores have not only lost my custom but also my friends and family due to their greed

We purchased a new home and had excellent service from the lady dealing with us her name was Shobone And we would definitely recommend her services as she made the process very smooth for us😊

We always order the Family Kebab Meal which great value for money, very generous portion sizes and lovely food!

Great service and great food, honest price 👍

Ordered dinner at 17:30 and it is now 19:05 and still no food despite chasing order 3 times and being told it's on it's way. Food was lovely just a shame about service.

Best pizza ever better than the famous brands would definitely recommend!

Excellent Food and Service as Always. Highly recommended

Disgraceful customer services. Waited an hour and 30 mins for freezing cold food to be sent! When I called to complain (keeping in mind we use them twice a week!) all they would do is offer £5 off in the future. The only way they would give me any refund was if they took back the cold food my kids had waited 1.5 hours to eat which I’ve now had to microwave to be half acceptable. A loyal customer now lost. Disgusting behaviour.

If you want to be robbed then use this place! I have never reviewed anything before because its fair that people make mistakes but this place... Delivery driver had no change well ok its £3 you know what have it. but then i noticed the order was completely wrong I phoned to ask for a refund i was then told that i should check the website because they dont do what i think i ordered but it was the website i ordered it from? i was then told it was my fault i had ordered the wrong thing, but i thought they didnt do what i ordered? after being told its my fault and arguing with me they agreed to a refund, Great thats all i wanted 20 minutes go by and no one is here to collect the food and issue the refund i have called again and no reply i finally manage to get through and im told what does he want me to do the food is sh*t the money has been moved you are not getting it. I will be going through the avenues to make sure this place cleans up its act or stops trading

Amazing value for money and all staff are lovely

Banging best in town cant say much more you gotta try it you won't be disappointed its quality and nice friendly staff

Used for the first time today. Ordered the family Megha deal. £33.50. Abundance of tasty food. WewWe have liked more salad, but we really enjoy the salad. Plenty for all, we all enjoyed it and will definitely order again. Hot and tasty the serving of humous and coleslaw was generous. Felt like good value and we all enjoyed it. Thank you Balgores Best Kebab.

My daughter placed an order today,the wrong order was delivered. When my daughter rang to query this she was told it was her fault and needed to pay again for the correct order! The only item in the order that my children would eat was the chips...and they were cold! Wont order from here again.

Ordered from just eat. Food arrived an hour late and freezing cold. Meat smelt offensive and looked to be off. Burger looked uncooked and unsafe to eat. Phoned the restaurant to receive a full refund whereby the customer service I received was shocking. We will never order here again.

Chicken shish medium was a mean portion but lots of fries for a small. Chicken was dry and quality definitely seems to have dropped. Staff very offhand. Very suspect five star reviews......

Very good food, a bit over priced and deliveries are always late but worth for what u get.

Decent on what i order but i haven't strayed away from my usual orders so couldn't state much of rest of menu, always treat me nice as a local and have no problems with it

Would give 0 stars if I could awful food wrong pizza delivered greasy kebab undercooked chips and all arrived cold! AVOID!!

THE MANAGER SPOKE TO ME AS IF I WAS A PIECE OF DIRT, I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT WHEN I WAS ADVISED TO BUY THE MEGA FAMILY PLATE FOR £33.50, THE TRAY WAS BULKED WITH CHEAP DONER MEAT AND HAD NOT EVEN ENOUGH SHISH MEAT FOR ONE PERSON, AS I ALREADY TOLD THE MANAGER WHEN ORDERING THAT THERE WHERE FIVE OF US EATING. ALSO THE FOOD WAS SATURATED IN OIL. I MADE PASTA FOR EVERYONE IN THE END. WE SHALL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.I WILL ADVICE EVERYBODY I KNOW NOT TO BUY FROM THEM UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF WITH FOOD THAT YOU WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE TO A DOG.

Brilliant food friendly service best cheesecake ever lol

Lamb shish was the worst. Meat too veiny and chewy.. not real lamb

I admit I was a bit inebriated but not too much to notice my lamb sheesh in the mixed kebab had been replaced by a mountain of donor meat. Very disappointed and learnt a lesson and will avoid at all costs in future.

My cousin after Work feel hungry ordered pizza over the counter from balgores kebab , when she start waiting man behind the counter start quastioning her where you working what time you finishing she was little upset when she arived home i was going to shop but it was late night , than we had pizza till now i dont feel well called to my doctor he adviced me drink lots of water you had food poisioning feel sick and diaria , never again. Man behind the counter you mind your business dont quastion late night young good looking girls where you working

You cannot fault this establishment. It is clean and the staff most pleasant. I can only be critical about the salad as it is served up in layers, it would be nicer if it were tossed with some vinegar and olive oil. The lamb is tender and cooked to perfection and one cannot complain about the cost, (but i always do when I go there ) The portions are generous and there is little more to be said about Balgores is the best Kebab

Placed an order that came to £86.90. Told us they had to collect our money before they would cook our food. I have been using Balgore's best for the last 5 years religiously and I will never use them ever again.

Busy Kebab and Pizza shop near Gidea Park station. Have had a couple of pizzas and kebabs. All ok but better to collect than wait for the lengthy delivery. Can be a bit tricky parking nearby though.

Lunchtime meal great value for money, fast service very clean, friendly staff. Amazing food. *****

Try their 3 combo kebab mix wrap... size of a bazooka. Lovely place for a quick kebab

After waiting over 2 hours for our food the standard of food was shocking everything was cold and to top of soggy and when I phoned I found the staff very rude. Will never order again.

Missing items on food order . Refused to pay for missing items . They took then whole order back and throw food on floor outside my flat ! Disgusting

The quality of food has dropped significantly over the last year and their prices keep rising. Very disappointing because this was once my favourite Turkish take away, now no more.

Excellent taste and good location

Favourite take away defo recommend In the last month when ordering over the phone has been excellent customer service bubbly and order to my requirements. Very happy customer. Keep up the good work guys...

Balgores worst kebab more like. If you wana take a genuine sick pay from work then eat from here.

New owners i think. Thats why food and service has gone downhill. Dont bother ordering a delivery. Stick with the othe local kebab shops.

Over the past few months delivery service has gone down hill big time, very late ,cold soggy food 3 times in a row. Will never be ordering from this place again.

Well to say that the kebab was greasy is an understatement asked for a little sauce and he totally drowned it in garlic sauce can't remember if I have had a worse take away in a long time only giving it one star as there is no other way to give it less sorry lads poor effort

Nice kebabs. The pizzas are hit and miss.

I don't know what's happen but the Kebabs have gone so down hill, tasteless, dry and the salad is disappointing. What's happening guys. I've always paid extra coming to you for the quality.

Never been disappointed with the food or service here. You can also order online via an app for pick up, great to use when on a train heading to Gidea Park.

Always great food, great service

Ordered tonight and meal was with us in 15mins. easy to order and good selection The food is always so hot and tasty, the delivery driver was polite and friendly Really enjoy this takeaway Thankyou

Today went to order mixed grill for one person and they turned around and said £23.50p! I was shocked beyond belief it was so expensive so they gave me an alternative.. basically a small mixed grill which was some kebab meat, chicken skewer and meat skewer £14.00 it was so small and the kebab meat was so greasy and portion size was shocking. Never again will I come back! Disgraceful!! Will stick with my abby kebab in Dagenham and not only does it taste better but it's £11 cheaper

Great food and customer service

Ok ,well,it's kebab. I had a lamb sish ,hopefully i spell correct. And it was ok.

DON'T HOPE TO RECEIVE YOUR ORDER. The company seems to be family run and they aren't interested in the customer Base, only what they can take. And they try to take as much ad they can. Terrible food and terrible service

Used to love this place but the last three times we have ordered from here one or more of us have been ill the next day. I have noticed others saying that ownership has changed as never had this problem before - sadly I am off to find another kebab delivery....if anyone has any recommendations?!

Just got some food and ended up in the bin it was rubbish. The chips was cold. The meat was under cook. Would NOT be going back and advised anyone looking for good food not to use this one 100%

I think they changed the owner and I don't like it anymore

They should clean outside the shop

I would like by saying i don't usually write review and when i do its because they did a good job. but they got me mad when they refused to give me my money back for food that i never received i m not going to go into a full story..... so its nice to hear they do have good food sad I will never taste it so thanks for that experience guys thats how you handle it.

Balgores Kebab’s was the best sadly it’s changed ownership Sad but true

Balgores is great for a late night feed with a standard variety of kebab shop food. The kebabs are pretty standard but the pizza's are really tasty with plenty of cheese and cooked to perfection.

Lives up to the name, no better Kebab shop in the area!

Hate giving negative reviews but this was absolutely awful. New owners, profit orientatief, kebab meat was dehydrated and stale. Sorry guys you need to massively raise your game!!!!! Previous owners had it nailed

never fails to be anything but good !!!!staff amazing and very friendly ....... the swill at shen kebab is shocking when a kebab shop as this 2 mins away .....

Best kebabs and pizzas you will ever eat

Two kebabs ordered delivery which were delivered quickly. The meat was cold greasy and fairly low standard only managed to eat a small amount wondering when these shops will up their game

Ordered food and they said it would be 45 mins and it never arrived. Made several calls but I was fobbed off each time. It's a shame as they always seemed like a decent place. Lost a customer today.

I have been a customer for the past 8 years but will no longer go there anymore used to be excellent........... The new owners have ruined that place cold stale food, rude service throw the food In your face.......... Small Donor meat not chips is now £5.50!........ Really?........... Chaio!
