London Doner in Islington

Be very careful when you go to this kebab shop. The food is fine but they like to overcharge people. This is a popular late night spot frequented by drunk people. They take advantage of drunk people by having them tap their cards multiple times (and tell them that the first payment did not go through). If they are challenged, they give you the money back in cash but a lot of people clearly don't realise end up and paying double. Make sure they give you everything you order. They like to charge you for chips and then don't actually put them in the bag.

To be honest with everyone. I was looking forward to this restaurant, but I was really disappointed. We made an order, we got a bowl of salad and some really thin bread and waited for over half an hour and what's worse is that they have served another table who arrived after us. Then I decided to go up to the till to pay for the salad and leave as the main meal did not come. We were then told that it's on its way with no apology for the waiting customer service was disgusting and the food and the portion of it was not worth the price at all. I will never go back again.

Exceptional food , service , atmosphere, best Mediterranean/alacarte ive ever tried in UK

点了humous鹰嘴豆泥酱，羊肉拼盘和一份土耳其沙拉，一份量很足，面饼片可以免费续，最后沙拉都没吃完打包了。图二就是large的羊肉，很多。

I’m too hungry to write well. But this is only the second time EVER that I have been to a restaurant that served our table NO FOOD. We arrived before 6pm and were shown to the basement - often not a good sign. We placed our order just after 6 and had to leave to get to the match by 7.20. There was no food by then. The poor waitress kept saying “five minutes” but was clearly getting nowhere. Of course it was down to really terrible management. And aggressive with it. Apparently we should have understood that it was a bit of a lottery whether any food would be served: the manager pointed proudly to two other tables where people had had to leave without getting any food at all. Clearly Gem was trying to profiteer off hungry fans and accepted every booking, even when the management must have known they were completely unable to serve everyone. I suppose it was a risk worth taking for the restaurant - just not for the customers. Gem by name but not by performance or attitude. Will buy some halloumi on the way home…
