I have just been to Dillons. I ordered my food and went to pay for it and realised I had no cash so went to cash machine next door got some money went back into Dillons and my food was already waiting on the counter for me. This place is always quick for service and all their food is amazing. 10/1. Top notch food and service and I'm not the only person who loves thus place. Its always busy

What a waste of money! They did not listen to our online order at all. We asked for 4 of our kebabs to be in turkish bread (which is why we go here beause of the turkish bread), all of them came in a dry hard pitta bread which we couldnt eat as was so hard. The chips were very overcooked and the salad tasted like it has been left out all day.

They used to be best kebab shop. But they're forgetting our drinks, mixing food up, forgetting sauces we asked for, then yesterday what were those chips my goodness. It was like when you order a take away and try and eat the chips the next day and they are stale and rank. This shop was good once, now appears to be really unorganised. Please sort it out and get back to how you were. My wrap looked so much smaller than normal barely any salad either. 'all salad' means all salad not just a tiny bit of lettuce and cabbage.

i entered the kebab shop at approx 8.50pm saturday night 27/07/24 and asked for a mixed kebab and one of the many voices from behind the counter shouted rather angrily we only do doner kebabs,so i said give me a doner kebab then paid and sat down,stared at the menu behind counter where i saw mixed kebab on the menu..anyway i took my order home and opened the bag expecting a classic doner with meat/salad & chilli sauce on top but no i had donor meat in the pitta a round plasic pot of chilli sauce and a square plastic tub of salad with no lemon wedge so that was the 1st disappointment..eating it brought on a whole new level of woe..donor meat was bland and absolutely and i mean absolutely tasteless,chilli sauce was bland and salad had that musty taste like supermarket salad in a bag, four mouthfulls and i threw the lot in the bin..i havent been to this kebab shop in over twenty years when the lovely pleasant boggly eyed chap behind the counter made excellent kebabs..i will never go there again for any style of food they might sell

If I could give 0 stars I WOULD!! The place is vile..... chips had bit of random old doner meat in it.... also chips were stale with a bit of cheese stringing across them. Burger was inedible I dread to think what sort of meat they are using .. stale bun, old brown lettuce. Chilli sauce so watery I didn't even want to try it. Delivery takes so long and customer service shocking, with rude staff. DO NOT recommend eating from here.. stay clear and don't waste your money

Simply the best Kebab in town. The flavour of the meat is delicious. My wife has the Spicy Chicken Shish and I have the Lamb Shish. We have it in Turkish Bread. The staff are friendly too. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is that their salad that comes with the kebabs is very disappointing. In their salad box, you only get one small slice of cucumber and tomato and only one chilli. Just isn't enough. You do get cabbage, onion and lettuce but needs more cucumber, tomato and chilli.

We've ordered from Dilan before quite a few times and taken orders at the take away. When it comes to Just-Eat the service has been terrible recently. Two nights in a row they have accepted orders on Just-Eat, only to cancel them due to no drivers. It's an easy system to use, and it's easy to not accept an order if you don't have an available driver. The issue is simple, not only do we end up ages waiting for the business to let us know finally that the order has been cancelled (we usually order late, which means some other businesses have stopped delivering by the time we know) but because it can take a refund a while, it makes finances annoying if we end up ordering again.

Ordered online only to get a call to say that they can’t deliver to me because of roadworks and traffic which at 1630 is next to nothing. Never had a problem before, told me to collect (wouldn’t have ordered a delivery if I could collect). Wasn’t bothered when I told them I wouldn’t order again, seems to me that they have no value for customers.

Usually this kebab house promptly delivers good quality food. On this occasion, our order took an hour and a half to arrive (despite the Just Eat app saying it was out for delivery 40 minutes before received). We only live 0.9 miles away. We called twice and received unsatisfactory explanations for the delay and a general confusion concerning whether the food had actually left the shop - apparently it was "the boy's fault". When received, the chips and onions rings (which have previously been good) were soggy and lukewarm. The chicken kebabs were good. I have previously reviewed this kebab shop higher but standards have clearly dropped despite the prices increasing significantly and the size of the portions decreasing significantly.

Whilst on the phone placing my order the person I was talking to was having other conversations in the background so Im not surprised we got the wrong meal. I shall not be rushing back to Dilan which is sad as always rated it very highly. Whats gone wrong ?

Well what can I say I use to liked this kebab house BUT think they have got far to Big for there boots and forgot about the portion size. I ordered the dilans special and that use to feed me and my wife with plenty of left overs. But there was hardly enough to feed one person. With the dilans special you use to get 2 pitta breads the price has gone up and now you only get one. This might sound like I'm being greedy but when I have a kebab and pay good money for one I would at least hope it would fill us up. Also the quality of the food has gone down. Its a real shame as really liked coming to this one and thought it was the best one in Colchester. Not any more! Last time for my family

You really need to sort it out. All my food has arrived stone cold. You need to stop giving multiple Orders with the delivery Driver, as that is why the Food is cold. I payed £26 for a cold food. And other takeaway's in colchester do the same. You should not give a load of orders, with one driver. And think it's going to be fresh, for the customer. I don't care if it's saving you money, giving tones of orders with 1 driver. I am a paying customer, and I don't expect my food to be sitting in some Car, for god knows how long, whilst your drivers are delivering other peoples food First. I expect my food to be hot, not cold and dry. And the same goes for other takeaway's here in colchester that deliver cold dry food. It's not on. It's outright disgusting to expect people , to put up with cold food that goes dry because it's sitting around for ages. You all should be sacked.

Went on just eat to order food for delivery, it said no min order.... I placed order which came to £14.90 with delivery, I then received a message to state order had been cancelled. I called them and spoke to a lady who said min order is £15, I asked why I wasn't just told that and I'd order something else to which she couldn't answer. She asked for my number and said manager would call me back to which he never did. There was only 10 pence difference so this is an appalling Service, I will be informing Just Eat too as it stated quite clearly no minimum Order.
