The Ottoman Doner - Ilford in Redbridge

Quality food, my favourite branch. Donner always tasting 10/10, bengalis always making it better than actual turkish restaurants. Chilli sauce is one of the best you'll get in east london. Call up in advance and your food will always be ready in time. Recommend the smashed Donner burger, empire burger or meat chips and bread. Bread is top tier here. Keep it up guys

Amazing quality doner and great taste. This is my new go to!

Best doner I've ever had. Portion is very generous with the super deal, for basically a tenner you get a fat meal.

Very impressed with their food and portions. I ordered the mixed doner with chips. Their salad was nice and fresh. The meat and chicken was flavoursome and the portion size was very generous. The triple cheese burger was also really nice and great size. Highly recommend.

Great food, great service! Will come again definitely!

I ate there yesterday. We ordered mix doner, empire burger, both with chips, barbecue wings and milk cake. Everything was nice especially the Turkish milk cake but the empire burger was very dissipating as is tasted off, not fresh and flavourless. I will never order any beef burger from there again.

Bad attitude. Bad service. Bad food. Never going back.

Great customer service and great food

The food was amazing, the best doner place in ilford lane. The sitting safe is very big enough for a whole family. I would recommend coming here. The staffs are also very nice and friendly. They treat you like family 👍

Banging food service was amazing if you want your tummy’s full come down and give them a try super good customer service

Their donor & chips box is amazing, with generous portion. Definitely feels like high quality food to me.

One among the best shops to bet for Doner. Chicken Doner with Bread is my go to dish. Good one in Ilford.

good food but poor delivery arrangements with uber eat.. have to wait hours...

Was recommended this place by my Mrs.....pricy but well worth it....one of the best Kebabs about!!! Meat perfectly seasoned and perfectly perfect!!! Very Pleasant Staff too! Defo the spot!!!

Food was great, will try again.

Arguably the best fast food restaurant ilford lane has to offer! They’re prowess lies in their quality meat and generous with condiments and adequately rewards loyal customers.

Tight with the sauces. Gave us 1 container each of chilli and garlic for 2 large meals. Chips tasted old. Doner was ok.

Some of the best donner ive ever had mashallah

We went there take a look, lady that was working there didn't even seated us or said hello or even gave us menue so we decided walk out and notice the restaurant opposite (Watan) large queue so we decided to go there instead. It took a little long to get seated but much worth it. The food was absolutely banging. Glad we did not waste our money at this place

Had an iftar there. Bought chicken doner. it was hard and not fresh. Came home suffered from upset stomach. Not the best and over priced! Not sure how it's lasted all this time.!

The food was nice. Tasted like any other burger joint to me. However the doner meat was good. They have a prayer space which is good. Overall was a nice experience.

Food are really awesome, i try first time, I love the food. their staff's are very friendly?? Good place and so on!! Thanks for everything!!

Really great food and lovely guys and who looked after us. Big portions, we all really loved it. We’ll be back.

Great food and service. Large satisfying portions

Really great meal and well looked after. Portions were great,staff were attentive and accommodating and is a spot I would be happy to return to, both to either eat at or takeaway from!

We were welcomed by the staff immediately very accommodating, helped us choose our meals as this was our first time at ottoman donner. They even cut a burger in half for us as two of us wanted to try a naga burger. Food was very tasted large portions and very fresh. Would recommend ottoman donner especially the illford branch as they have a real sense of community even with those from out of town like my self

Chicken and lamb doner box is delicious... especially when you're super hungry. Cash-only this place

Ordered chicken doner kebab to take away, went in there like 1h ago. They made me wait like 20min and after I asked where is my food the employee at the counter just said "I didn't see you" and that "food is ready for more that 10min". All that time he was chitchatting and didn't bother to come and look for a customer even if I was sitting downstairs just next to the counter. He didn't bother to call me as well so I had to take cold food. Maybe next time concentrate on your job instead of singing and chatting? I was the only customer in the building while waiting and only delivery drivers used to pop in. Shame - not a service. And I was kinda regular in there 👎👎👎

Waste of money rude staff the quantity they are giving is not enough the amount they are charging you will find 75% chips and 25 % meat if you order donor with chips worst experience every time.

It's good, kebab shop, economical prices, good ambience

Don't accept cards to avoid tax. Scammers!

Upstairs has nice booth if you come with loved ones and has a prayer room

I went today with my family around 2pm and the service was appalling. We ordered 2 meals and the front man taking orders were very rude. Not friendly at all. He treated us very badly after we grabbed a fizzy drink instead of the water bottle. He mentioned it’s 40p extra. We replied saying that it wasn’t a problem. He started saying “I’m running a business”. We replies saying that’s fine and he started justifying himself. We didn’t have an issue with paying extra, he was just passive aggressive. We don’t like his attitude. Disgusting. Won’t be going there again!

The service is very very bad they can’t speak good with customers…I never suggest next time go.

Food was good, service was also satisfactory only issue is they don’t accept card.

Lovely food and customer service. 👌

Came down from barking to collect my order only to come home and find the wrong food was given!! The manager did offer me a free meal if i come back in in future. But was very disappointed overall

Ordered on Uber eats with priority delivery, not only did I choose this restaurant for the first time and considering now everywhere is closed. My wife is heavily pregnant and ordered herself a wrap that she fancied. All food arrived cold, which is impossible for a priority order delivered by motorbike at 12am, I watched the driver and he drove here with 11 minutes so it being cold is completely down to the restaurant. Double cheeseburger was dry, everything freezing and they missed out my wife’s wrap, so I now have to order elsewhere for her. Will never order with them again, when I rang them they actually tried accusing me of lying or the driver of stealing in some sense but the the bag came sealed and they claim to have put the wrap in there but they never. I’d avoid if I were you. Very disappointed, I was hoping it would all be great and become a regular as we are new to the area.

Went a few days ago with my friends and as we came we realised it was cash only but the bossman was very kind to offer bank transfer as the service provided by him and his team was very well. Also, kind enough to let us pray upstairs and made me and my friends feel very welcomed.

Normal pfc doner ….. Nutink special , Still has different organ fat and bones …..!😀🤦🏽🤷🏽‍♂️

Took whole family to dinner very nice location also very nice place to dine in with big groups Friendly staff. Food always nice

Haven't been for a while but never seems to disappoint, fed the family for under £25, great value for money especially in the financial crisis.

As beautiful as the location is the service is top quality and food is just mouth wateringly tasty. Nice and perfect for families to eat in. I loved it with my family.

The food was very nice and different. The lamb donner is the best item on the menu. Good customer service from abjol

The customer service was beautiful the food was so good I had too come back a second time the customer speak to eachother and are very helpful this restaurant in my opinion 10/10

Staff is good food is very good atmoshphere is very osmmm

I recently visited this place. Whilst placing my order I was informed they ONLY TAKE CASH. This is ridiculous, how on earth does a takeaway shop not have a card machine in 2023. Get with the time lads, everyone knows why you don't have a card machine. Also, they no longer have a cash machine in their store.

This is not a fake review as I have receipt to prove that. I am not sure how people ended up giving The Ottoman Doner, Ilford branch, the 5 star review. Yesterday, me and my mother went for a lunch. We ordered their signature/must try burger the Empire burger. After placing the order the meal came within a few minutes, which was strange for us. However, we just ignored it and had our meal. First of all the actual bun was too small to handle the content inside it. Secondly, while eating I had some hard stuff/material in my mouth, could be bone etc. However, I again ignored it. The worst thing was that we both had a bad tummy in the evening, which proves either they gave us the old food or their hygiene standards are very bad/low. The Ottoman Doner is quite close to us but I do not think, I will be visiting them again.

Food was really good and friendly staff. Specially sitting was so comfortable, really impressed by staff and service. Highly recommended friends and family.

10/10 in all regards but especially in the service aspect, exceptional service, they really went above and beyond for our party of 7. Looking forward to our next visit.

Loved the food. It was delicious and big portions. The person serving us was very nice and gave us extra food as well

I feel they spent so much money on getting famous people here & instead should have focused on their food. From the outside I thought it was a delish boujee steak house or something but when we went in we found out it was just a regular burger joint. We opted for their most popular burger which is their biggest burger with beef patties & donner. They served it without the donner & when we showed them all the workers start touching the burger & we said we don’t want it after it’s been in so many hands. They made us a fresh one and it was ok. The sauces were 10/10 though

Bismillah alhumdulilah The empire burger was lovely 3 beef patties with doner, beef was juicy and well cooked Doner in a box with chips good size portion. Doner well cooked thin and juicy one of the best doners I've had. Chips crispy and fresh with nice dips Great service and very clean and tidy place..... Highly recommended with prices very reasonable.

Donner kebab is very good, the burger bun fell apart when I held it, so ask them for a brioche bun when you get the burger. Good food, good price, not much else to say.

Amazing customer service, very nice food ! 100% amazed and happy ! Well done guys ! Will come back 100% thank you !!!!

Friendly staff. Seating upstairs is very nice. Lahmacun wrap was excellent and full of flavour. Definitely recommend 👍🏽

Their lamb doner is nice. i like their caramel Tres leches milk cake more than their main offering, one of the tastiest milk cake i had in a while.

Quality of doner was very nice, service was very good and quick. restaurant was clean and provided a good relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely come here again.

10/10 Beautiful place, wonderful people and food was delicious. Must go.

Brilliant food, amazing service, the quality of the Donner meat was top, none of that rubbish you get from GDK. The service was on point, and the prices are very reasonable, £8 for a huge donner box !

My family tried Ottoman for the first time today and they really enjoyed the food. The food portions are big and well priced plus the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back soon!

Good Quality Meat in there Burger.

Interior looks amazing but food itself is very meh. Also they only take cash

Good place to be, food freshly made, fast service. I had my order modified and they were happy to do so. Good size portion.

Quality food, straight cut lamb doner and chips with the chilli sauce and garlic mayo is 10/10 Very welcoming

Excellent food and customer service.

Amazing Doner! This place should be more busy. The doner is sooo good that i’ve come every week! So much better than German Doner, portions are GENEROUS and staff are super nice. Highly recommend!

This has to be the best Ottoman Doner place in London. Excellent customer service by Khales, I thoroughly appreciated his skills and was awe of his calm composure in this busy place. At the last minute, I managed to hire the 1st floor space for my daughter's birthday party. All my kids loved it, enjoyed the food so much, they can't wait to have another party there again. Everything was clean and fresh, and I highly recommend this place.

Alhamdulillah one of the best doner places in ilford

I tried Classic Istanbul...you can also try...

One of the worst places to encounter, they have the worst service ,they don’t know abt the allergens they use , the food is smelly, there behaviour towards the delivery drivers who collect the food is even worse ,the guy on the counter was arguing and using very rude language.i would never recommend this branch to anyone it’s opposite to oodles.

A total disaster found in my Uber eats order, a hair.

Food tasted great!! The donner cooked well, service was amazing too

The burgers were really good. Friend recommended me this place

Great, delicious fresh food!! Generous portion and the delivery was very quick. I’ve got a sweet tooth and I highly recommend the milk cakes, they’re amazing!! Definitely recommend for great food!! ☺️

Great tasting food always come out fresh

Very gd food staff is very nice

Doner taste 4/5 Portion size: 4.5/5 Service: 3/5 Price: 3.5/5

Service was good but the doner with chips and rice was yuk

Amazing food, amazing experience. Amazing vibes. Big thank you to Shahin as he always looks after me with the food portion!

Not as good as Whitechapel branch Food was cold Bun was not big enough to hold all the meat it all just broke and hard to eat Place was nicely done though Staff was great

The place had a clean and Turkish themed aesthetic. Seating available upstairs, customer service was on point. Food was clean, tasty and served pretty quickly. Not really much else to review, just a great doner takeaway type sit in or take away joint.

Most amazing Doner in east London. I would give it 10/10. A must try

The service is truly amazing. The meal, portion and service was very good and had the best experience here. The doner is absolute 👌🏻, better than German doner for sure!

10/10 most delicious doner. The guy Ahmad is very helpful and giving us good customer service. A must recommendation for all.

Reasonable prices per person but the empire burger is very average.

Fantastic food. 10/10 u. You can’t go wrong. Tasty

Well priced, great sized portions and good quality meat used.

Fresh good quality food and friendly staff.

Probably the best shop to have food and deserts especially the Caramel trilece Milk cake! i come almost everyday and it’s the best!! Defo Reccomend

I comes here everyday!!! Best doner for miles !! Amazing people amazing customer service and the best around.This is a must try on Ilford lane !!

Service and the brothers were very welcoming to every customer coming inside, by far the best food and service 100/10 , come support OTTOMAN DONER

Very friendly staff, service is excellent and the food is amazing.

Excellent experience dining at Ottoman illford lane

Thumbs up to Shahin and the team for giving us tasty food in such an efficient and quick way.

It’s a shame I’m having to write this review because when Ottomans first opened we thoroughly enjoyed it every time we got it. but we have we came for a take out today and I must say we were very disappointed kebab meat was very dry and the garlic sauce was missing from the box. It tasted as though it was old kebab! I don’t know 🤷🏽‍♀️ all I know was it tasted disgusting! I doubt I will be returning.

Fresh food. Well presented. I believe people don't appriciate a good place and give bad reviews. I loved it. Good family place. Very clean. Must try.

the food was delicious, always above and beyond my expectations and never fails to disappoint my taste buds 😋. The best Donor in London Hands down!

I dined in with my kids n the staff were very friendly food was great would recommend it

👌. Bring back the chocolate milkcake 💔.
