The Best Turkish Kebab in Hackney

Fast, albeit expensive. I wouldn't say they're the "*Best Turkish Kebab*" but they're probably "Better than Usual Kebab." Dry, even with sauces, but at least it didn't feel oily like most. Chips were nice if a bit bland. Nice kebab, but not £11-for-a-small-portion-nice.

I got one larg doner wrap it was like small for £12 absolutely waste of money

Not the kebab shop that I once knew. Gone down hill terribly since the last ownership. I still remember the quality of kebab taste back in the 90s era. Quality has dipped significantly since. The prices have gone up but the taste has gone down.. Five years on, new management have taken over in this kebab shop and it’s an absolute chaos in there now and the service has fallen down the pan. Food portions are now smaller, it doesn’t taste as it once did as the quality of food has severely dipped. It’s now your average kebab shop like any other. Not the kebab place I once knew and loved back in the mid 90s.

Me and my friend got some chips and kebab from here yesterday and the CHIPS WERE SO CRISPY! I was shocked by how good it was .The kebab was good too! And the people in the shop were do friendly! I don't live near Stoke but to eat those chips again I definitely will be back

best kebab outside of Turkey. even better’s than many there.

It is one of the best kebabs in London, and I highly recommend the lamb shish kebab.

Never had a bad meal from here, and I’ve been using Best Kebab since they opened and have recommended it to many friends

Good service but the meat has changed. Tasteless food! For the price you pay it’s not worth it

The best kebab I have ever had - hands down. The meat is the highest grade possible, the chips were good and the chilli sauce was flavoursome without being too hot/tasteless. Incredible.

It’s in its name… the “best”. Absolutely succulent as well as the amazing service I’ve experienced, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, it’s not your typical takeaway shop, this has the quality and the exciting experience with “behind the scenes”, which I mean that the way the workers work with dedication and perseverance, as well as the never ending energy, you can feel the passion! Makes you feel so elevated, alongside the Turkish delight, what a pleasurable experience, thank you staff! 🙏🙌🏻

It’s really the best Turkish doner in London

Gorgeous people, gorgeous kebabs. Recommend.

Busy and fast service. Nice friendly staff. They need bigger restaurant

The best in London, I’ve been coming to this spot for years. Reliable brothers. Clean. Respectfully they are the best.

I was shouted at by the short man with white goatee beard for asking for extra chilli sauce. These are the new owners. Doner use to taste better before. Awful customer service. I haven’t been back since.

I have been using this kebab shop for over 30 yrs, best anywhere around I drive here to get the best. But just recently I found out it had new owners ,last night I had done from there and straight away I noticed it was different meat,it looked different and was tasteless, then I noticed there were no lemon wipes which the previous owners always put in. No name on the bags. I will no longer be using this kebab shop,and by using cheaper meat they will loose the title best kebab that has been built up by the previous owners. They bought a name with a great reputation only to start loosing it.

We are in 440° atmosphere around a half of the current expection.

MashaAllah tabarakAllah allahumma baarik service and quality of food are top notch. Very friendly staff. Been going for years and standard of service and high quality have remained consistent. The staff in there work like machines with many working at the same time therefore very quick service. You can call in advance if you’re collecting. They’re more than happy to help. Their portion sizes are quite large. Price has increased a lot over the years but sometimes you have to pay for good quality. Chilli sauce also isn’t very spicy but very tasty (good for some!) Small space so cannot eat at the place but for a takeaway treat for yourself and family it’s very good. May Allah bless the business and the brothers. They’re doing very well!

Fantastic kebabs I come here all the time and never lets me down. The nicest people as well would highly recommend!

Won’t be going back, Donnor undercooked and their prices have doubled. Portions are smaller as well.greedy over rated kebab house.

Delicious food, good portions and presentation, friendly staff and lovely homemade sauce. 10/10 🌯

Very nice kebab wraps, been going for years. It’s a shame they are ruining it due to greed. Price is way too high.

It really is the best kebab, Chicken shish flavour is amazing, my go to kebab shop for decades

Went there for a burger and chips today and was such nice service. The guy was so friendly and the atmosphere felt super relaxed. Thanks for the amazing food guys!

Absolutely horrible hair all over my food

Is it even halal ....Turkish Kebab doesn't always = Halal.

The beef burger was the best burger I ever had in my life but I’ve had better kebab and the chips felt like they had been refried. Worst Turkish chilli sauce I have tried it isn’t even spicy, tasted like onion sauce

Very basic and overpriced food, to be honest. Don't trust these amazing reviews and celebrity visitors - this place is nothing but your local kebab shop.

Unsure if the owners have changed but the food is not the same. The chilli sauce tasted bitter. The döner meat has become tasteless.

Fastest and best kebab in town by far

The best and freshest tasting lamb doner kebabs in London. Highly recommended.

I ordered a lamb shish on uber eats the portion I received was ridiculous for the price I paid the most stingy Turkish place I ever came across

The best kebab in london! Anyone making reviews based on sauce pot size is an absolute hater. The quality of food here is 5* I’ve been coming here for about 20 years now at least and never had one bad experience. ❤️

One of the oldest kebab shops, apart from that, it's very average, to which I was disappointed. I ordered Donna wrap, and they are not so generous with the meat but over generous with the salad. At times, I felt like I was having salad wrap, but there was meat at some points of the wrap. Shop is too busy. Maybe they stopped caring as much as they used to,or maybe it's because most of their clientele are too drunk to care.

No idle boast! Best kebab take away in London. Just don't expect chicken doner though.

This Kebab house lived up to its name It is the Best Turkish Kebab house in London Amazing food and lovely friendly staff Will definitely recommend and will be going again very soon

Amazing food ,kebabs are very tasty and freshly cooked. staff are also very polite and respectful Best kebab shop in hackney highly recommended 👌 Got taste for yourself you won't be disappointed

This is the ONLY kebab shop me and my family have gone to for over 10 years, the food is delicious and always hits the right spot😍😍😍 The customer service is exceptional and the staff team are warm with a lovely atmosphere in the shop. Delivery is also super efficient (no joke as soon as I order it is dispatched within 2-3 minutes lol). Highly recommend 1000/10 from me!

Went to The Best Turkish Kebab last night for the first time and I was impressed. Really lovely, friendly and polite staff. Very clean too...loved it...food was great and people were lovely...thank you!

It's good food but the success has killed it a bit, no choice of salad, just a default box. No choice of sauce, just pots. Want a bit more customer interaction with my kebab

Don’t be fooled by its humble interior, this is a staple that will bring joy to your darkest (or most drunken hour) and as someone who has been frequenting for 15 years, I’m an expert. The traditional shish is truly the best in London. If you’re looking for a late night comfort blanket the ‘meat and chips’ is out of this world and will give you enough lining to stave off any hangover. It’s also worth going in, just to see the signed pics on the wall.

The best damn kebab in east london 🔥

Best kebab in London by FAR! So worth the wait to queue up!

Very good doner kebab, but used to be better when meat was cut by hand, now the machine does the cutting & meat is thinner & not the same, still good but not great. Their aryan is the best.

Been coming here for over 20 years. Lives up to its name

Food far from the best and staff Soo rude won’t be going back

The meat is so lean in comparison to every other doner kebab I have ever eaten, it’s lost its taste. Due to the lack of condiment choice and the disgusting chilli sauce, this problem is elevated. Better chilli sauce, sweetcorn relish and mint sauce are essential in any kebab shop. Service is too fast. For a first timer you don’t even have chance to think what you want. Would help if the staff smiled and were a bit friendlier.

The best kebab and the best team in London

Overpriced and average food. Had my iftaar today and I was disappointed

Great team, fast service and always up for a laugh. Fab kebabs, freshest ingredients and they have an automatic doner slicer!

This place is great, they do the best Donner Kebabs in London probably the U.K

You may be thinking about ordering a delivery from them. Don't. Walk there instead, order in person, and enjoy looking at the spectacle of this smooth-running kebab-printing clockwork machine. Have a chat with fellow patrons. Stare at the hypnotising motion of the doner cutting robots. Notice the little details, like how they clean the top of a coke can before handing it to you. The live experience makes the already great kebab even better.

Had a great kebab here. Would come back

Where to start, ill start at the finish which was one mouthful of the dry rubbery donnar meat that seemed as old as the discoloured rave reviews and photos hanging on the wall, I've read people's reviews saying its the best in the area which dosnt say much for the competition around here, Even the salad was below par with a wrinkled tomato I've given 1 star simply because I could park near it.

Very good falafel and doner 😍 and very friendly staff ! Will back for sure 😍

Been coming on and off for years. Twice in the last week and the food is good the lamb is very greasy though, I prefer the chicken. The cost though is a lot, you could sit in almost all of the Turkish restaurants in Dalston for £14.50 and get the same thing I order, it’s to much for a road kebab. I ordered Chicken/ chips / salad today for £14.50 but I had to eat it off an electricity pylon on the street.

Great Turkish food. Takeaway only.

It really is the best kebab I would have given it a 5 but nothing is perfect service was amazing so kind WOULD RECOMMEND 😀😀😀

Best kebab has gone downhill not how it use to be I have been coming there for 30 plus years and never will go there again his doner is not the same quality there is better places to visit like archway kebab trust me

Simply the best kebab I've ever had with no exaggeration. Great management and customer service.

Don’t bother. Ordered on Uber eats and paid £4.79 for delivery. I asked for lots of chilli sauce and garlic sauce on my Donna, which they didn’t do. Instead they gave a pot of chilli and garlic, which were modest potions at best considering I also bought chips. The chips had a very small potion of chilli and garlic on. If they had chilli or garlic on the menu I would have bought it but they don’t. £20.74 I forked out in total and very disappointed, should have known it always overhyped. The meat was tasty enough but nothing special I’m afraid.

They guys are friendly, been coming here for years now. The kebab is consistant never lets me down. Always look forward to it. Have it every week if possible. 😋

Appropriately named! Ordered from here twice, they have made all my requests above & beyond expectations both times and everything is delicious. Probably my favourite place I’ve ever ordered a kebab from :) thank you Billie

Fantastic shoulder lamb donor kebab, tasted completely different from your regular Turkish kebab place on the high street, you can clearly tell the difference, it was absolutely delicious, softer, melts in your mouth, absolutely delicious. The shop is so busy that they have machines cutting & shredding the donor kebab. You won't be disappointed if you love your donor kebabs. Me & my friend had parked around the corner from the shop & as soon as we turned around the corner you could smell the meat being cooked & it smelt absolutely brilliant. It's not called the best Turkish kebab for no reason 👌👍🙏

Fresh food, nice donner, on the pricey side though.

Ordered delivery and it’s my first time! It was so good and I asked for chilli peppers and they gave me a whole bag of it! So pleased with the quality and everything. Thank you so much guys. God bless you ❤️❤️

Really good service, food was prepared quickly and it was delicious! Will definitely come back when I'm in London

Excellent service. Food served very quickly. Big wrap for a small option. But they are the only positives. The meat is tasteless. I was expecting much more considering the reputation.

Immer wieder aufs neuste die 1 in London UK Das Essen ist 1a & hat ein mega Qualität - Preisleistung perfekt. - Die Qualität vom Döner ist mega, alles Homemade. - Super freundliches Team. Liebe Grüße

Ordered 2 large meat but got both small. I asked for both the sauces but only got one. Disappointed 😞

Great food great service and also great atmosphere Best Turkish kabab will always be apart of history in London

Over priced tasteless nasty products. Rude staff to top it off.

Exactly what it says on the tin. Best kebab shop in town, or at the very least this part of town (and the competition here is strong). The quality and consistency they churn out on a busy night is genuinely incredible.

Fresh and homemade, it was absolutely delicious!

I have been going to this place for many years First things first, during busier times you will have to queue before you are able to make your order which shows how popular this place is The food or shall I say Kebabs; they make their own Doner and have always for as long as I can remember, you should see the size of them when they start cooking. They usually close when the Doner is sold out so it's fresh everyday I can recommend anything on the menu as it's all good, you can have it served whatever way you want it You can have your kebabs with the salad served separately, you can have a couple of chips mixed in with your Doner; it's all good. This is the one if not the only place that I will eat a Doner kebab from. My current favourite is a Large Doner wrap with chilli sauce a few chips and salad. The chilli sauce is Not a hot chili sauce that burns your mouth or is overpoweringly peppery it's there to add flavour. The salad is more than just lettuce, tomatoes and onions; and it works well with your kebab whichever way you want it. I think this place sets the standard of how a Kebab shop should be.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent and fast considering they have a lot of orders incoming almost every 5 minutes. And I take my hat off for the memory of the man taking orders, he remembers who, when, what was ordered and after or before you are on the line (even tho there is not an actual line) while handling also what it seemed to be online orders. Place is very clean too. Prices, super cool

Wizard on the pass shelling out scran that’d be on any sane man’s desert island dish.

An absolute pleasure to watch these masters at work

These guys know their way around the kitchen - was a pleasure to watch. I also dropped a cube of my lamb shish outside and they came out and gave me a full tray of donner and sauce in consolation.

They know their way around a 250kg slab of doner let’s put it that way.

Typical Turkish culture. Always get greeted in a friendly warm manner. Always have been friendly with me. Food is always lovely.

Really nice and fresh donner fast service.

I really don’t understand the hype over this place before yes it was good now it fell off

One star for selling cold shish that tastes like a shoe. Used to be a good place. What a pity.

The best kebab for real!! I ll go again for sure!!😍

I have ordered a handful of times during Oct and Nov 2023. Food is always lovely, well cooked, tasty and everything is always very fresh. Chilli sauce is perfect. Also, always seems to arrive in a state where it is very obvious that they take their time to put it all together carefully. It's as if they take a customer's experience seriously, so every time I order, I feel like they appreciate my custom and ensure I am happy. I like that a lot and so I would say I am now becoming a regular customer. No chicken doner and so the mixed kebab is slightly different, but if you want to ensure spot on food these guys seem to have pretty much nailed it.

Impeccably dressed staff and wrapped kebabs

Kofte wrap used to be quite good. That’s no longer the case. The portion is smaller and the prices gone up quite a bit - I hope this isn’t the start of a deterioration.

I used to visit this place over the last 20 years and travelled out of borough Saturday night to be not only dissatisfied with the food but to be over charged by £10. I placed a telephone order requested chicken shish with pitta bread but once in the shop was hollered at by several staff members which made it confusing and a stressful experience. None of us (3 diners) enjoyed the food. Just a basic kebab not like it used to be. We remember the chicken used to be breast and your order was done to your specifications with chilli and sauces and salad done separately but we weren’t listened to then charged £10 over so had to return the following day for my money after members of staff spoke in Turkish on front of me. Felt as if I was in the wrong for asking for my money back. Sadly after over 23 years it’s not the best kebab for me and not worth travelling won’t be returning.

Food is good. Ordered a large lamb shish and a small doner and they charged me for a large doner. Will not be returning, will go to their competitor up the road instead.

This is the best donner kebab, not greasy taste exultant. I drive from Stratford to buy their donner.

Ordered larger doner recieved small cheap doner only thing was good was salad didn't offer refund all they said was its large what we sent everyone look at the pictures in which angle does that look like large doner salad was large not the doner waiting for a refund from ubereats and while making a complaint to them they kept taking orders wile I'm on the phone extremely bad manners 0% customer service skills

Foods always cold and bloody expensive

Definitely the best. Good pric, amazing food, clean and friendly. Loved it!

Food was exceptional and very tasty.However, my mum asked for garlic sauce in pot before we left. Twice to remind he confirmed and said all sauce in bag. When we got home it turn out only chilli sauce was given. Food would have been superb if we had garlic sauce.

Best tasting kebab and best service ever! Keep it up

My favourite worker was mo. I loved the food it was tasty and amazing this was really good but chips was a little bit soggy.

Best in the game! Delicious taste best service with great atmosphere!

UPDATED REVIEW 3/10/23 - ordered a large chicken shish in box. lots of lovely chicken. great salad and chilli sauce. added chips were perfect, plentiful and reasonably priced. sent a large pitta, but also a small one too. nice touch. as with my first order, everything carefully packaged. i like this place. they seem to take good food and service seriously and i think it shows. i will be ordering again soon. i can even live with the disappointment of no chicken donner. i think i will go there for the mixed special when next in the area. ORIGINAL REVIEW - negatives first then the good. website and info on uber eats app are amusingly unhelpful though app does have some photos but not totally conclusive. interested in the best special but not certain what it is. i think great to have such confidence in the food, but i feel giving us customers more info might help sales. i also understand items are always priced higher on the apps, but best special is 15 quid on menu and 22 with ubereats, so makes me pause. i had to assume the mixed kebab was like everyone's as no info, so expected lamb and chicken donner. actually it's lamb donner, shish and kofte. i always find lamb shish a bit tough but this was better than most re texture and tasted lovely. the donner and particularly the kofte were outstanding. i plan a kofte soon as was the best i can ever remember having. or maybe a chicken donner as i have been craving. decisions, decisions... all food packed very well with nice salad and pittas and a really generous amount and properly good chilli sauce. seems to me on my first experience that these guys take customer pleasure in their food quite seriously despite it also being a step into the unknown. i would love if they offered more mixed options as i would definitely order from here more often if i could get a lamb and chicken donner mix, or a lamb kofte and chicken or lamb donner mix. as it is i think i will return, but not as likely as if they had more options and as I'm moving soon i may try and find a place in stokey so i can go there. delighted to pay them for such good food. less keen paying uber almost as much just for delivering it. 50% increase on some items is troubling.

The owners have changed and so has the donner. I have been going here since 2000 as I was a kid. There was a time that I would not eat Donnor in unrecognised places (Asian shops who try sell Donnie) and only in certified places like best/super/alibaba etc. Those were the times when even the salad was pleasing and you wouldn’t miss it. Most recently I have realised the people have changed, miss the old guy! Now, the donner is in small pieces, it wasn’t fresh and a smell was coming. It was cold and wasn’t pleasing. Bread was not warm and was a bit rough, chips are not hot and fresh also the chilli sauce is a bit watery and leaks through the paper when you put it on the chips etc. (Today was the first time I never actually finished all the bread) this just shows doomsday has come I will however return once every 6 months just to see if they’ve improved after all I have so many memories in this shop.
