I bought a large size shawarma which cost me £13 but it consisted less meat than a small doner from a Turkish restaurant. It might seem good for some people but I have worked in kebab shops and It was not impressive.They just put a load of sauces on it so that the customer just may be easily duped. Apart from this,the meat was not properly cooked.I had a very disappointing experience and won't recommend it to anyone.

I used to be a fan of this place for shwarma. Especially took my family there to impress them. Ordered in advance over the net. Wrote that i would not want spicy sauce, but requested for extra tahina and pickled in our meat shwarma. I asked at the collection if the order was understood, and the gentleman said yes. We took it away and on the way we opened and we had a dry shwarma with hardly any pickle and hardly any tahina. We bought almost q0 shwarma and the taste of the marinated meat was so subtle that it felt boiled.... It was very disappointing that despite all the checks the order was disappointing and even thinking about it the taste of the night's shwarma puts me off from going there again.

Your cafe served by and far the best Shawarma I've ever eaten. Treated so well by the staff while we were there, you cannot beat the service you all provided. The food was incredible, we had a mixed shawarma platter, ended up with a chicken shawarma wrap by accident (but I wanted it in the end so paid), the unleavened bread was fresh and tasted great to scoop up that delicious shawarma with the dips that went with it. The falafel, clearly made fresh, falafel that is actually green when you break it open, with just perfect seasoning. 5/5 for me, and will return! Thank you, this was my after hospital surgery celebration meal, I was craving some authentic shawarma, and you certainly didn't let me down! Massive love to you

When the shop get more customers they start to charge more and reduce the amount of food all restaurants they do this and service get poor never go again as we felt shame front of our guest when we asked them that we need to sit inside, they said only take away and we eat while we r standing. How rude they are. Shame on them.

Dear Mr Helen, First of all Take my Salam and dowa. Last 2 years whenever I went to London I didn’t miss to visit Helen cafe. Your food quality and taste is very good. I really appreciate that. But Last Friday when I went there something very bad happened with me. The way I was treated was completely unacceptable. I went there sit on the table ask for the menu. Then one of your staff his name is Farag come to me for the order and I gave order for LAMB Burger and then he ask me any drink and told me to take my time and he will come back. After checking the menu I have decided not to order any drink. When Mr Farag come back I told him no drink only Lamb Burger. After that he get very angry start insulting me in Arabic language. Next to my table there was three arabic man he start talking with them about me and start insulting me. Both Mr Farag and three man laughing on me start insulting me. It makes me very upset and broken. Then he came back with burger give it to me and again insult me in arabic language. After I had my food I have seen your other team members they are really good. They ask me how was food? They were welcoming. But after that I have decided not to go cafe Helen again. Because I don’t want to see Mr Farag face again. I never receive this kind of behaviour from any restaurant. I hope you will look on this matter.

A Hidden Gem That Never Sleeps Cafe Helen is an absolute gem for food lovers, especially those with a taste for bold and authentic flavors. My recent visit was nothing short of exceptional, and I have to give special mention to the Spicy Mixed Shawarma Lamb and Chicken Wrap. It was a perfect blend of tender, juicy lamb and succulent chicken, wrapped in a warm, fresh flatbread. The spices were just right--enough to give a satisfying kick without overpowering the natural flavors of the meat. What really impressed me was the speed of service, it was served hot and fresh in no time, which is a huge plus for anyone on the go. And the fact that Cafe Helen is open late hours 4pm to 0600 am means that no matter when the craving strikes, you can count on them to deliver. Highly recommended!

The worst thing is when the place uses the halal logo only for advertising purposes. I entered the restaurant and asked to pray. They told me there was no place to pray. I took a chair and said to pray on the chair in an empty place in the restaurant. I found all the restaurant employees gathered. It's as if I'm in the middle of a disaster. I'm afraid I'll shut down the restaurant and a customer will come and find the chair I'm praying on not empty. It became permissible to eat and praying has become forbidden in the place. May God help us.

For every Saudi or Gulf citizen, this is the worst restaurant you can meet in terms of very bad staff. The shawarma tastes normal. We ordered 5 shawarma from him at a price of 9 pounds each. However, he refused to let us sit in the restaurant even though we are a family and insisted that we order other orders. The restaurant is really bad and expensive, until someone goes

The Best Shawarma in the UK—Café Helen is Unbeatable! If you're looking for the best shawarma in the UK, look no further than Café Helen. This place is an absolute gem, serving up shawarma that’s simply out of this world. From the first bite, you can tell that they use only the freshest ingredients, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. The meat is always tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, wrapped in warm, soft bread that complements it beautifully. The garlic sauce is a game-changer—creamy, flavorful, and the perfect addition to the shawarma. Whether you’re a fan of chicken or lamb, Café Helen’s shawarma is a must-try. The portions are generous, and the prices are great for the quality you get. The staff is always friendly and quick to serve, making the experience even better. It’s no wonder Café Helen has earned a reputation for having the best shawarma in the UK—it truly lives up to the hype. If you’re in the mood for authentic, delicious shawarma, Café Helen is the place to be. You won’t find better anywhere else!

I had lost my dogs favorite plushy toy and the night manager assisted me in finding it. A lovely chap he was, possibly still is. The rooms were clean and tidy but not too soulless.
