Harpenden Grill Kebab and Pizza in St Albans

Chicken meat was old and dried out hardly any chips not worth them price sausage was a joke

I was a bit nervous trying this place, having seen bad reviews, but my shish kebab was good. Reasonable portion and plenty of fresh salad.

lovely as usual. My favourite place for kebabs.

Like the cenobites in Hellraiser, I called them, they came. 10/10

We are regular customers here, chicken shish kebabs and halloumi wraps always good - staff friendly and polite

We have ordered from here 3 times now and we LOVE it! Each time has been delivered earlier that predicted. Food is always hot and taste amazing! Kids love the kids meals they do, nice amount of choice and reasonably priced! They aren't small potions either! Highly recommend.

Shocking service. Driver dumped food at reception and apparently tried to call me multiple times but no call made by restaurant at all. Rang the restaurant and they were very rude and told me it’s very busy. Food was silly cold and not great anyway. Will not use again.

You get what you paid for, can’t complain. Swift service and great staff

bought a donut, it smells really bad, I'm not satisfied, I won't go there anymore, guys, don't go there, it's not nice

Food is always nice. But I have more than once made notes about some salad preferences for our burgers or wraps and they are never right.

I walked in to order three kebabs/wraps tonight to take out. Place wasn't busy. No customer service. Plastic screen is the first problem. It sets the culture and atmosphere. A barrier between staff and customers, which staff are more than happy to hide behind. I didn't hear one conversation other than: Order. Pay. I apologise for being inconvenient. The lady who serves is especially unfriendly - very busy, absolutely unhappy to see a customer. Food: food was fresh, which is good. Yet 2 of 3 of our kebabs/wraps didn't have any sauce*. Like having a roast without gravy!! I literally made my own sauce when i got home. Would you expect to put tomato on a pizza or sauce on a curry? Do I think they'll care? No, because they'll be too busy behind their plastic screen ignoring anything or anyone beyond the screen. I live less than 200m away and will not use them again. *Why didn't i take my food back i hear you ask? Because I was hungry and my guests didn't want to make a fuss (hence making my own sauce)..

Honestly this used to he such a good kebab shop these days its awful orderd a kebab and it was the most dry thing I've ever eaten even with sauce. The meat was definitely old and been sitting for a while not impressed at all

Meat was really dry tasted like cardboard Really expensive for the quality of this food don't bother trying

I get kebabs from here quite a lot. I’m just going to say, they’re delicious; I highly recommend eating from here.

good and Rearly hot a massive improvement

Absolute worst place I’ve ever been to the staff are very rude and also been ripped off few days ago I went to get a burger meal and hummus with pitta coat me 9 quid 2 days after that went to get the same order they charged me 15 pound when I asked why they told me because “its lunch time the price changes” what absolute morons never will I go again

Worst kebab i had in my life The dry meat feels like last weeks leftover tastes disgusting! I had a feeling to walk away before ordering as it stinks in there I'm wondering they haven't been shut down yes! It was my first time eating there and won't be eating anything even if they pay me. Places like this are a health risk

Meat and chips not worth the money total rip off only order as local

Poor quality and small portions for price

After many years of being a regular customer, it has come to the point that so many of the recent orders have been below expectations that I will no longer order from here. Sad that it has come to that point. Harpenden needs a good quality kebab house

Awful experience, ordered a chicken shish with pitta and it cost me £10 and was the smallest portion I’ve ever seen, only 4 small chunks of chicken and a small pitta, I thought for £10 I would get a meal that would fill me up, would not recommend unless you like being robbed in daylight

Always good. Good to phone order through as they do get busy.

Always get a fairly good kebab from here , fresh and consistent and fast for when you just want a quick bite . We always use Deliveroo which to be fair does push the cost up a little to high . Overall no problems !

This used to be our goto but today the salad was less and the sauce was less it felt like they have reduce the amount as well.

Way to expensive for average at best food

Wasn't enough salad and rhe chicken was so little. Didn't look like a large shish I paid for.

Lovely food and great service every single time!!! Used to pick up my order but since I found Just Eat, I always order on the app and never have any issues.

Salad came mixed with the plate and so does the sauce making the fries soggy

Pizza was not edible testing meal was small and cold

I visited kebab shop for a kebab I’ve been coming here for like 15 to 16 years never been spoken to in such a rude and arrogant manner absolutely ridiculous dry Waithe, thin chicken,donna don’t like to complain, but it was absolutely an edible. Try left there all day. Asked for fresh one, as it was just cooked on the skewer and was told no I will not be returning. Such a shame for to be spoken to and so disrespectful and a very very loyal customer for many many years. Disgusting !?

Superb service, the staff were so attentive, even noticing when I was too hot and offering to move our table. The food was delicious and the decor stunning. A must visit, but book ahead as it's a tiny venue.

Dirty food food hair in food loads of hair Neva avoid at all cost

I ordered a mix kebab and chips…. Just look at what I got. First and last time! Absolutely horrendous! The worst kebab shop in Harpenden!

Food quality poor and cold driver was rude and could not find address restaurant did not answer phone as we tried to complain have been told they do not care they get payed anyway

Food was cold and dry, Order was wrong on the mix 3 and one set of chicken shish was missing. Was last thing sunday which might excuse it but would not rush to order again with all the other options available locally,

Half pounder with cheese. Needs no further comment.

Great Chicken Shish, really generous with chicken and salad

Few item missing but delivered 20mins later

Food portions are small chicken meat and chips there was more sauce than anything else was not worth the money wrap was ok but still not with the money would be cheaper to buy a chicken cook it cut it up and put in a wrap will not be ordering from heat again defo not worth the money

If you want poor rude service, and food you did not order then this is the place for you … If like me you want a friendly good quality take away use AN Other like I will be You have been warned

Kebabs and chips were great. Halloumi was undercooked and smelt off. Not usually like that.

Had a lamb doner and the meat was VERY dry - in fact it was literally crispy from dryness in places. I can't see how anyone could have put this into a kebab and been thinking "This is fine! The customer will love this!". This is more extreme than usual but the meat is generally way too dry. The salad was good, but then salad is cheap, right? Their burgers are good, I find, but for a kebab there is a much better place a little way down the hill that I will now go to. I recommend you do the same.

The worst I have ever had AVOID AVOID AVOID dinner kebab cold salad slimy and smelt funny chips wet limp and cold

Good food but not great service

Have to say absolutely Fantastic! Good food and good Service! Thankyou Harpenden Grill!

The halloumi wrap was cold overpriced and quite frankly a waste of 7£,the staff are rude and are constantly giving dirty looks to customers this is debatably the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant #pinarzontop

Superb takeaway food, specially the kebabs.

Ford order wrong again,food portion size has reduced a lot,defo not worth the money will be going to pinarz in future

Food was lovely but ordered large and if that was large I would hate to see what small size was especially for the price

Just not good wouldn’t order again

Extremely rude lady... Never ever again Avoid

I must agree customer service is non existent. Asked for a chicken doner no onions, got onions. This was the most disgusting kebab I've ever had and that's not many! Every other tasteless mouthful was chicken fat. I literally had to spit it out eventually and bin the rest. My son did the same. Asked for another doner kebab full salad and got cabbage and onions. First and last visit, don't waste your time and money!

Normally the food in this place is amazing. But today the chicken was hard And a bit burnt. I didn’t like it much

Great burgers thoroughly enjoyed them. Will Oder again, thank you.

Bad customer service wouldn’t recommend and the food is terrible

Food quality was very poor hardly any chips which were old cold chips reheated they were solid and hard.swimming in grease,bag full of grease,salad is old and off will not buy from these people again please avoid

Very good and great tasting food

Great food, great service, great price. 10/10!

Oh my gosh ! What a difference a shish kebab can make in 2 months ! Had a chicken one last night and it was so soggy. The pitta was so thin. Full of crispy (nice) lettuce .some onion. But no tomatoes. Over £1.00 more for the small size. ( enough for me tho). Wont be buying again. Trying to save £ guys ? Lost my custom !

The customer is clearly the enemy. They are just rude. The food is ok but the service is shocking. It is like they assume everyone is drunk or they genuinely hate people. Maybe shut and shop and go and work for Hermes. They genuinely hate people.

Lamb meat was poor, for price very below par

The chicken burger was dry with a funny taste and soggy salad, took 3 bites and couldnt eat it. The 'cheesy chips' were cold and the cheese was just lumped on the top. Had to warm up in microwave and add more cheese. Aside from the fact it was quick delivery maybe they should work on the quality of the food first before sending it out..been coming here for years amd very dissapointed

Normally good taste but rap salad was on one side of wrap not evenly distributed

Soggy kebab cabbage tasted off with sod all meat,lamb was all fatty All for £11 it’s a joke will not be ordering again has defiantly gone down hill with new people running it

This kebab shop is the worst I've ever visited the food is shockingly bad the staff are rude a pay not attention to personal hygiene.. the old guy with glasses couldn't have sneezed in more places without covering his face I think the food standards people should be visiting and quick

i order 2 lamb doner meat kebabs both with pitta but the pitta didn’t come with it…..

Been out shopping and nipped in for a chicken shish with salad and chips it was lovely the salad was lovely and fresh will be back again

Not the best, food was soggy by the time I got home and I don't like far. Was a shame

Brilliant service, food was delivered piping hot half an hour earlier than stated. Food was amazing, quick delivery and driver very polite. Will definitely order again.

Second time ordering and it was as good and fresh as last time! Thanks

£9.50 for lunch time special the only special there was is the salad. No meat in the kebab hardly. Worst kebab for quantity absolute shocking

Once again got the order wrong on the first delivery - consistently miss things out or get the salad combinations wrong

Easy to order (including sauces, salad etc) and tasty.

Customer service is non existent! If you order a takeaway to be delivered and your order is incorrect it is a waste of time contacting them as they completely ignore all correspondence even if a refund is due.

Really hate to leave a bad review as have been coming here for many years however standards have slipped. Ordered two deliveries recently and both times the pizza was not what I ordered. The first time I was brushed off and told I would be given a credit next time I ordered. Never happened. The following time my meat supreme had no meat - just the extras (peppers and onion) that I ordered. I shan’t be returning. Have been back and more rude service. Their reply is nonsense - they have no intention of making this right.

I have been coming here for 20 years. What is wrong with this place? The short lippy woman behind the counter who has so much attitude! I ordered a pizza. They didn’t ask if I wanted thin crust or Dee pan. A moment later I said could I have it thin crust and was told it was too late. She started an argument and even though the pizza hadn’t been made refused to change it. This is the fifth bad experience here. Have previously complained and they’ve apologised and asked me to call so they can make it right. They didn’t. Avoid this place. Small business…. Yeah good riddance.

Rude. Terrible staff. What happened to this trusty local business. Avoid

Bad food. Never a great experience here

Wrong crust. Gave me thin crust rather than deep pan. £20 for a cheesy tortilla wrap. No offering of refund or replacing the pizza. Awful

Lamb shish seriously undercooked, not just rare, raw and not even hot through. Why not just cook it for long enough?! There wasn’t even anyone else waiting. Such a waste.

Excellent quality of service and friendly amazing food

As a loyal customer never had a problem since, The delivery driver didn’t have my change £4 said he’d bring it back which didn’t bother(it’s just the point) I done a order for collection 3x chips and kids meal were missing I called to explain the lady said well we can just give you more chips next time what is the problem. The problem is that I came all the way from St Albans, after calling me a liar saying they’re going CCTV they called me back saying they’ll give me half my order money back. I called today explained with my name etc the guy called me a liar and said ‘why would he give me free stuff I either pay for it all of go elsewhere’ this place is going down hill the new girl staff members are so RUDE. I will never use this place again because of the way they’ve treated me and how little they don’t care about there customers. Wouldn’t waste your time ordering to get half a order, give your money to a company that actually appreciate your custom.

Great food. Well over priced. Quick and friendly delivery

My chicken was pink, you can eat it like that but I don’t like it that way so it put me off and I couldn’t each much

Zero stars food cold Disaster order was not taken properly twice!! Avoid delivery !!

Took 2 hours to arrive and when it did there were items missing or incorrect. Shame because the food was very nice.

My app said it was on the way for 20minutes and didn’t arrive. Then I rang twice and they said it was on the way and that they were very busy. Then my food still didn’t arrive for 20 minutes.

AVOID!! Very very disappointing. VERY Late. Cold. Terrible customer service. Food was ordered at 6pm on a Tuesday evening, with a estimated delivery time of 30-40 minutes. As soon as the order was confirmed by the restaurant this jumped to 1hr-1hr 20 mins. Even then the food didn't turn up on time. The food finally arrived after 1hr 40mins and was stone cold. We ordered 2 identical kebabs, 1 of which was half the size of the other. Called the restaurant multiple times, it just rang out, finally got through to be told they'd only offer us a refund if we returned the food to them?! So they could check it was cold! We asked if we could speak to a manager and were told we couldn't. I never leave bad reviews, but this is an absolute joke. Very unhappy. Terrible customer service. Will never order from here again and will be telling others of our experience so this doesn't happen to them.

Food delicious that’s why the feedback, but I think restaurant can use boxes instead of paper wrapped food . It’s not a complaint 😊, it’s better for appearance

Love, love, love this place. Good tasty takeaway (but can do delivery) If you've never had one try the houlami wrap with salad! Always good food and service with a smile 😁👍

Another delicious takeaway from Harpenden Grill and Kebab

Advertising a ‘tub of magnum ice cream but was only a ice cream on a stick

Good kebab, great delivery driver

Delivery was on time/early but the portion size wasn’t very good and the food was cold.

Expected time was 17:55 but it came 15 minutes early which was lovely!, the driver was so nice. The food was lush, was still hot, will definitely be ordering from here again 100%☺️

Lovely food, great meal. Only downside for us personally was too many onions in the burger salad.

Best Kebab around by far , never had a bad meal from here . Always impressed 😊

Ordered no bread as I am gluten free and my food came wrapped in a pita! Really not good or safe for allergies and intolerances

The food was lovely, arrived early and delivered in a professional and friendly manor.
