Elifs in Sheffield

Ordered £35 worth of food. Told after 20 minutes they couldn’t deliver and that the refund would be 3-5 days. What!!!! Can’t afford to give you money for nothing.

£4.00To expensive for one lahmacun to small size,poor salad for 8 lahmacun I am not hapy for my order

Waited nearly two hours for delivery which was cold when it arrived £28 wasted on cold food When I phoned to complain they offered £5 off next order (they won’t be one) blamed lack of staff (shame they didn’t warn me when ordering)

Absolutely amazing food. It was really fresh. Best kebab in Sheffield hands down. I’ve visited a lot of kebab shops in the uk and this was the best so far. Will definitely order again. Well done guys

No lo pedimos a Elif por un tiempo, pero decidimos tener una última noche ya que siempre habíamos amado la comida en el pasado. Pedimos 3 kebabs de pollo y donner y donner una pizza y papas fritas que no nos dossappointed y el Kebabs definitivamente estuvo a la altura de las expectativas. La carne estaba muy bien preparada y la ensalada era fresca y había mucha. No puedo esperar a ordenar nuevamente, pero la próxima vez ordenaré antes, ya que tuvimos un tiempo de espera de 60 minutos.

I ordered a meal for delivery at just before 1940 tonight, I was given a gaurented delivery time of 45 minutes with a corresponding tcount down clock on the restaurant website. I phoned the restaurant after the devilry was late and was told that the food had not even been stared to be cooked. I requested a refund and expressed my displeasure and was, after a number of excuses told that someone would physically come to my house to refund me the money in cash!!! Totally unacceptable service.

Good takeaway. Don’t order the large doner kebabs, enough for two or three people! Really tasty and good value

I've ordered pretty much everything on the menu, which are all great, but the stand out stars are the freshly prepared kebabs!

Elif used to be great. Their mixed kebab was a thing to behold. But that was ten years ago. My first visit in ages tells me that it's gone downhill since, which is a real shame. Not to the point where you'd never go back, but it's no longer "yes, that's great". It's all right, but that's not going to make me rush back. What they provided was OK, but no better than that. I'll have to think where to try instead, mind.

This was the only decent kebab take away in the area, which is why we went. Wow. A shocking experience by the latest management. 1. Staff looked like car wash asylum seekers - dirty and rough types (if you know what I mean) and I couldn't tell what they were saying. 2. Asked for real meat in bread (not doner) was refused and he tried to sell me two mixed kebabs for £17! I bought one to share. 3. Inside the bag was wet! The food was cold. They'd forgot to put chilli sauce on it. And it was mostly doner meat, which as you know is mostly offal (intestines) with dangerous amounts of salt to disguise the taste. Plus a little bit of chewy meat and 'salad'. For £7.50?? I can get a main in a number of restaurants for that. 4. I was told the meat is halal (my friend is a Muslim) - so why are they selling ham (strictly forbidden meat)? On asking, the proprietor states "for other people". Oh dear.... I ate some as I was hungry but felt sick for an hour after. A waste of money. There's a niche in the market for a proper kebab on the otherwise usually decent Eccy Road.

Don’t waste your time or money. Charged £19.20 for two combo kebabs and wedges with cheese sauce. No cheese sauce and one of the kebabs wasn’t combo. Such a let down. The portion sizes are tiny in comparison to other kebab shops in Sheffield. The only thing that’s decent is the salad and that’s if you actually get it.

We visited elif today this restaurant is very clean and very helpful staff is helping you to choose the right meal. The food was fresh and very delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. Not to expensive worth the money Enjoy

Moved back into the area and ordered an Elif twice in the last couple of weeks as we're living out of boxes! As good as I remember, really fresh and quick delivery. Thanks Elif, don't ever change.

Always great Kebabs from Elif!! Have ordered several times over the last 6months but my most recent order (via just eat) was in March. Elif are very good at taking care of specific dietary requirements and always get it spot on when we've requested certain salad and sauce options in the order comments. Delivery is also before we expect too which is excellent! We have collected in person and the staff were friendly and kind - we were given a free garlic bread which was a lovely touch! The meat quality is high, the kebabs are packaged very well with meat, bread and salad in one carton and the sauces separate which means they travel a lot better and are really fresh when they arrive. I was a student in Sheffield in 2003 and used to go to Elif then, and things haven't changed, which says a lot for their consistency! Can't fault Elif at all, certainly the best takeaway kebabs in the area if not Sheffield!

Delicious kebabs with very nice salads. The best in the area. Its not really a restaurant though more a take away with a couple of tables.

Llamé a Elifs un sábado por la tarde en diciembre con mi esposa y mis amigos. Pedimos doner y kebabs mixtos. Después de una espera muy corta, nos sirvieron. Tuve un Doner, me encanta decir que fue excelente. Comimos dentro debido al clima.

Terrible pizza! They do one in Iceland for 1.99 which is so much better!!! No flavour and it’s just a bad pizza overall! Dread to think what it’s like sober!

When Elif popped up around 15 years ago they were fantastic. Their kebabs contained plenty of meat, they seasoned this meat with onion and peppers which made it very tender and full of flavour when barbecued. In recent times they've decided to cut costs so have radically reduced the meat content, no longer season it and now when delivering they no longer include pots of sauce, instead choosing to add the sauce whilst in the shop. The pitta bread absorbs all the sauces before you receive your food making for a bad experience.

I must have walked past Elifs hundreds of times during the day, and never really noticed it was there.

Como dice el título, muy bonito casa kebab pero no tan buena como la deliciosa Hut. La comida siempre es bonito y está bien de precio cuando ordene aquí, lo único que podía quejarse en si es el personal podría ser un poco más amable. Obviamente estoy allí sólo 5 - 10 minutos de la semana, pero cuando estoy allí, podría ser más agradable.

Este parece otro kebab mixto, pero son los kebabs elif verdadero. Deliciosa carne a la parrilla de carbón en marinada pan plano, yum yum. También tienen estándar y chips de queso, etc. doner pero no se dejen engañar, el kebabs son excelentes. Mi comida, padre amoroso era bastante fantástico cuando nos lo sugirieron para llevar, pero es una transformación.

Yo tenía pollo y kofte combo kebab y la carne era perfecto, tiernos y jugosos con el gusto en la parrilla de carbón.

Pedimos tomar esta noche. Tardó 1 horas y media. Me mintió dos veces sobre el conductor salir. Cuando llegó la comida estaba fría como de deshacer. Me dijeron que estaban ocupados y se negó la restitución.

Llevar pinchos de pitta. Rara vez dura, normalmente carne tierna y siempre hechos a la perfección. Voy regularmente. También tienen pizzas pero nunca he intentado.

Delicious fresh marinated chicken breast cubes cooked on a charcoal BBQ skewer with chilli or garlic sauce and salad wrapped in a freshly made flatbread (I have it without the bread as I'm gluten free). Small is £4.95 Large is £6.95. Ymmmmm I love this place. Guilty secret visit after the gym for healthy tasty food, I phone as I'm leaving and it's ready when I arrive. Friendly staff, think they are brothers. They only accept cash. I give it 10/10.

Take away kebab shops don't tend to have a good reputation, probably with good reason in many cases. This is the only one I use and when I have been in the shop itself I have always been impressed with the cleanliness. I have ordered from here a few times each year for several years and have almost always been very satisfied. I usually choose a chicken/lamb combo but sometimes add donner for a very substantial option. Normally the meat is tender and the salad and sauce accompaniments tasty. When I have introduced friends to these kebabs they have become hooked. A few weeks ago the delivery was late and the food cold but normally it is a prompt service. Prices have increased quite a bit over the years but I still think it is decent value compared with the alternatives. They also do pizzas, which are OK but not at the same level as the kebabs in my opinion.

Not been here for a long time. We fancied a take away and thought we'd try it again as we used to love it. We moved further away and hadn't been for several years. We were not disappointed. The small Doner is easily big enough. Delicious, as we have always found. I don't understand the poor reviews. I know a shish kebab has less meat than a Doner, but it's a different meal. We have them all from here apart from the veggie one. All were lovely. The staff are polite and humble. I've not had a better kebab.

Tasted ok but the portions were ridiculously small and over priced for what you get. I wont be going back

I get a kebab for tea once per week usually -cant beat this place. There is the occasional tough lump but recommended. Chips good too. Nice guys - nice family. And opposite the very popular Pointing Dog.

Felt lazy yesterday and got a small shish from here, I had it to takeaway and was looking forward to tucking in when I got home. When I opened the box I found 5 bits of meat on a soggy piece of bread because they had put the salad underneath the bread. Niow this cost me £5, yes £5!! there are way better options just around the corner and I wish I had gone to one of them. The staff looked like they wished they were dead too.

In the past we have called in for a takeaway and have always enjoyed, tonight's delivery was a different experience. Cold food, delivered late. Will never order from here again!!

A few months ago I called at Elifs and had a fresh flame grilled chicken kebab and it was out of this world, the chicken was freshly chargrilled over a charcoal pit in front of me. When cooked the fresh's salad and wrap was added with the finest chilli sauce to accompany the kebab, the meal was massive and tasted wonderful. Last night after weeks of nagging the family we had a large mixed kebab & chicken kebab delivered, we only ordered two kebabs between the three of us as the kebab I had before was so big we thought we wouldn't be able to manage one each.How disappointed I was when 40 mins later the kebabs arrived, having paid £12 for the large mixed kebab, £5 for the chicken kebab and £1 delivery I was expecting a feast of deliciousness, but how wrong could I be. The large mixed kebab came with 9/10 small pieces of chicken and lamb and a small amount of dried out donar meat. The salad was nearly non existent and shrivelled up and limp. The same could be said of the chicken kebab except there was barely enough to feed a small child.After weeks of building this place up I was soon shot down in flames by the family who were left extremely disappointed and hungry, of course our retribution is that we will never use this place again.

Ordered one small chicken kebab and one small shish kebab. Wasn't expecting a huge kebab but was disgusted with what was delivered. My kebab was essentially a pitta with 5 single pieces of chicken in it. I paid 4.90 for 5 pieces of chicken. So disappointed. My partner equally had 5 cubes of lamb on his kebab. I've never felt so robbed in all my life, they need a mask and a striped jumper! When I rang them to complain I was told that was standard of small chicken kebabs, so don't order one expecting to be even slightly full because it was barely even a starter. Wasn't even offered an apology and was told it was expensive chicken! I'm sorry but how can one small piece of chicken breast work out at a pound each? Is it a famous chicken that I'm unaware of? I could go to the butchers and get 4 full chicken breasts for a fiver. Will never order there again, absolute joke.

Worst takeaway ever! Screwed the whole pizza. Couldn't even get pizza base right and very less portion of chicken in the chicken pizza. Rang to complain and all what I got "This is how we do it mate"; no apologies either. Never ordering again. NEVER!!

We've had food from here for many many years - eat in and take away and have had the best and pretty good foodTonight was very very disappointing! This place is not cheap but you get what you pay for - not tonightGranted - it's Saturday night and we asked for delivery but the food was completely coldPoor chewy lamb shish that had congealed in the fat - very very poor meatWhat's going on? It's the same guys as I drove past the other day and saw themI am dreadfully disappointed - I've tried to call them to complain but the phone lines are busy - maybe lots of people ordering? I doubt it on tonight's products the business will be people complaining!We will be very reluctant to return which is a real shame

Get takeaway kebabs from here quite a bit, it's more expensive than other places but you get what you pay for!

Perfect kabab and chips. But here the chicken is BBQ'd over coal rather than gas. So it tastes delicious. Frequent trips back to Sheffield and I have always aimed for this place. Good food. Good value. Enjoy.

Best chicken kebab I've ever had and I've had a few. Grilled and marinated chicken so you don't feel like you are being a fat blob having it. I've read they might have issues with delivery but if you're prepared to call in nd wait, it's worth it!

Love this place! I recommend the sheesh kebab, alway good! A little bit more expensive than most kebab shops but the best by far and worth it.

Just great tasting fabulous kebabs. Nice friendly people. Reliable delivery service. Give them a try, the best chargrilled kebab centre in Sheffield

I placed an order over the phone at 19:15 yesterday. 1 and a half hours later my food had not arrived. I phoned up Elif to ask where my food was and explained I did not want to receive cold food. To be told it was "busy". When the food arrived it was freezing cold and not edible. I rang back up to complain to be told that it was very busy and the manager would call me back. The manager has not contacted me and I am still waiting for a response.

I go on and off this place from time to time as it can't keep the standards up. But it's the best one around the area. Pizzas are good and the kebabs are of a higher quality to most take always. Although the bread is always soggy from putting it ontop of the salad! Amazing garlic sauce.

We've eaten from here on a few occasions, however the last few times we've ordered they've delivered our food and have forgotten something each time! On the last occasion we checked our order at the door and yet again found that a calzone was missing! The gentleman did sort this issue out ASAP but our friend was left eating later on alone! Won't be eating from here again!

Having placed an order pre 7pm for two kebabs and a portion of chips we were given the delivery time of 8pm.By 8.15 we rang to check it would be arriving asap? " yes its on it's way now". 8.47 it arrived having been on the road for over half an hour clearly as salad limp, chips resembled cardboard and the meat lukewarm. We had to leave the house by 9.15 so debated the merit in returning cold food and decided to eat it and ring to give feedback in the hope for a refund.Which had their customer service been outstanding would have immediately given little cause or valid reason to leave this review. I realise friday is a busy night but would have rather been informed of the change in time and recieved hot food that was something more than merely edible. I spoke to the manager because believe it fair to give a chance for errors to be resolved however I was told a five pound discount could be applied to a future order. On an over 12.00 take away this discount seemed unreasonable to myself.Perhaps I needed to ring and get the driver to pick up the cold takeaway which on a busy night would have left someone else possibly in a similar position. However it seems to have good feedback on this site over all so this is only an account of the service we recieved on a 'busy night'.

Great food freshly cooked with passion and taste. If we were in France they would give it a class of its own. The staff don't just serve you. They become your best friends. Please visit and enjoy.

The quality of the coal fired kebabs is unrivalled - highly recommend the Chicken and Lamb Combo.Definitely the best!

I, along with many of my friends & family have gone to Elifs for years. A few months ago I found a hair in my delivered chicken kebab, so I phoned to let them know and they offered a discount on my next order- fine. The night before last I found another hair after eating almost all of the kebab. I felt like I should phone to let them know as it is not very nice at all. The guy who answered the phone did not seem to hear me so he got the manager. As soon as I said I had just had a delivery, he shouted "Oh, this is the second time this happens to you, in 10 years noone has ever complained but you again!". I couldn't believe he was speaking to me like this, so I said "yes I know it's happened twice and that's wht I am calling". He recalled giving me discount as if that should have shut me up. I explained my case, that I did not want anything in return, but that the way he was talking to me was unfair. He said they all have short hair and when I said it was a short black hair he laughed in disbelief. He then tried to fob me off saying they will make another one, but as if he was doing me a favour- I again reiterated I was more bothered about the fact that he should take on board my comments and wear hair nets.I have never written a review/complaint before but felt so upset by the way the manager treated me that he led me to write this. It just shows, customer loyalty must mean nothing to them Please check your food for hairs before you eat and PLEASE say something if you find one as I simply cannot be the only person ever...Thanks.

MMMMmmmmmm freshly charcoal grilled chicken skewers on delicious salad of salted finely chopped cabbage, lettuce.. mmmmm melt in the mouth. Topped with chilli or garlic sauce...mmmmm

It's my standard easy evening meal in a hurry. The food is great, not cheap though, but decent quality, great taste. Flat bread not pitta, a choice of chilli sauce of garlic. The guys are friendly when you get to know them

I try to avoid best kebabs when elif is down the road but as it was snowing i walked to best kebabs as it is close to my house. Small portions for top price. Iv had bigger portions in london for less money and better quality. The small fat blokes seems quite rude. I shouldn't have to pay for the privilege of being mugged off by them, i already get that from the wife.

Elifs once had in my opinion the best kebabs, salads and pizzas on that side of Sheffield. This has sadly changed over the last few years...so much so that it's frustrating that they don't realise what a difference s few changes make. It has always been slightly more expensive than other takeaways but it was at one time worth it. The meat kebabs used to come with flame grilled onions and peppers...this has long gone, also the salad once had feta,,it now has a creamy cheaper version, and the pizza toppings and base changed to an inferior one a while back. It's sad because the people are friendly and service was good but I feel I would prefer them to put up the price or cut corners on packaging rather than comprimise the end product.

We stick to the kebabs which are fresh and tastes. Good value and service. We have had the pizza and burgers which are fine but the kebabs are the real success.

lve been 3 times now every time lve been ill next day

Fresh food, nice chicken - chips a bit dry and not a massive portion size - but would go here again for a decent kebab that tastes nice even when sober

I have been going here for many years and always, always excellent. Even my wife thinks they're great! My 'foodie' mate has even tried to copy the marinade! The char grilled chicken kebab is my favourite - cooked over real charcoal. Fantastic.

I've been here many many times since it first opened many years ago. I must say the charcoaled kebabs are delicious. The vegetarian and lamb are highly recommended. I always go for the Elif Special, getting a good variety, never disappointed. The garlic/herb mayo is probably house made and is a good compliment to all the kebabs they serve. The standard hasnt gone down since It first opened which is always difficult to maintain for a business. Keep it up!

Great food, top kebabs and the salads are superb. You can eat in but takeaway is better. Open really late too. The chicken kebabs are excellent. All kebabs cooked over charcoal which really makes them stand out from the crowd.

These are no ordinary kebabs. Delicious marinated meat and/or vegetables, grilled and served with nan and salad and a choice of sauces

Kebabs don't come finer than from here. Forget what you thought about them in the past. Elif kebabs are the best.

Superb kebabs from real meat. Try them and you will not be disappointed. At time when most fast food outlets serve processed foods, it is relief to see a place serving real meat kebabs.

I never ate kebabs before I found Elif's - in fact I never ate takeaway food before I found Elif's!! It is amazing...they are tasty, not at all greasy, and I think they are worth the price because you get a hell of alot of meat and salad stuff its just delicious!! The only criticism is not about the food but delivery, it is quick and friendly - but I have called often enough now you should know my address by now without getting lost and having to call me!! I just want my kebab...

Simply the best. Don't sit here reading this - go and eat an Elifs. NOW!!

The only kebab I can be proud of eating!

only kebab in UK that I'll eat!

Takeaway doesn't get better then Elif's char grilled kebabs. The pizza isn't half bad either.

very good, loses a star for price, but gains one for good salad and very good bread. only an ave.donner option which forces you to take the proper kebab which are very good but Still over priced, but that reflects the location!

I've recently been introduced to Elif and the mixed kebab, which is actually proper meat prepared from scratch... very good, well spiced and seasoned and the sauces are good too.
