The Perfect Chef in Colchester

Very clean place with friendly staff. A few chips to eat while you're waiting for the food is a great touch. I had fish and chips, good sized portions. Both chips and fish were a little over greasy for my preference compared to others I've had. Cash only.

What can I say about this place other than it was perfect. The minute I walked into the place we were dealt with by happy very clean looking staff in a very clean environment. We were given a complimentary bag of chips while we waited for our food and they were lovely. When we got home and ate our take away we were not disappointed. Top notch food with lots of flavour and cooked to perfection.

You know your not gonna be let down love it

Superb quality and always friendly. 100% recommended.

Chicken tikka kebab only comes one size LARGE £10.50 😞 nice but too big like to have choice.

Chicken tikka kebab is now only available in one size large for £10.50 very nice but too big. Prefer smaller kebab and chips. Why take the size option away let customer choose.

Disgusting food! Great if you like muslims & their filthy muck!

Friendly staff. Tasty food very clean premises

Best takeaway service in Colchester don’t forget Crazy Chef, Kem Jay and Nige great guys always got time for a chat

Friendly staff and great food! What more could you ask for?

Excellent food and friendly staff. Still the same thank god.

Best Kebab in Stanway. Banging chips too. Staff are decent too.

I've had takeaway from perfect chef loads of time. Now the food is now over priced and starting go down hill. Looks like greed is setting in. No longer my 1st choice in Colchester.

Probably the best double cheese burger ever. Also great lamb shish wrap.

All brilliant, lovely staff and lovely food.

Very nice food, with quick service and free chips while you wait.

Good fast food , never disappointed

Very clean, good value and service plus given chips to keep you happy while you wait

Always good freshly cooked food. Good sized portions. Only take cash. No cards!

Lovely pie, sausage and chips. Beware we found medium chips enough for 2.

Always good food and friendly staff, great prices too!

As always, amazing food, great service and reasonably priced. Would get 5 stars if they took card!

Delicious food, friendly staff, reasonably priced. The kids love getting a few chips while they wait!

Love it here, staff are so friendly and polite, even when they are rushing around. The food is always spot on, fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend a visit or 2. Thanks guys ☺ Update: its still great here, the staff are amazing, you can tell by how many regulars they have. Food is brilliant too of course.

Perfect Chef is a great take away, selling kebabs, burgers, pizzas and fish and chips. They have kids meal offers for the small people and meal deals available. Food is always spot on and they will add salad / sauce as requested (always chilli and garlic for us!) As an added bonus when you go to pick up an order they give you a mini portion of paprika salted chips while you wait. On last few trips the kids also got a free lollipop which they were very happy about! A highly recommended take away!

Uncle. Great staff. Great service. Quality food.

Perfect doner meat and chips and is a must to take away place. Absolute banging dishes

Had a first take out from here Friday night. Real nice shop, decor looks great! Combo kebab was nice and kids enjoyed burgers. Portions pretty decent too! Curry sauce was a bit of a let down though :( will be back again no dout.

Wow. Amazing food. Good portion sizes. Used to go to Brits grill but will be going to The Perfect Chef from now on. I am sold. Keep up the good work guys.

One of the best Chinese takeaways I’ve ever had!! Always fast service, the staff are always polite and friendly, the food tastes delicious and usually get the right order first time 😊

Nice clean place and very friendly staff. I’m a regular now!

Delicious and wonderful and quick service. The big bold headed guy helped me to choose the best Kebab dish and he was very helpful. Recommend to anyone who loves kebab. 😍

Good food, amazing service and staff, loved the pizza made by Ali, would definitely recommend

Brilliant place excellent quality brilliant food and lovly staff highly recommend. Ali number one 💪

Came on Sunday lovely service and food done by Ali, would definitely recommend 😌

Favourite kebab shop ever. Kind chefs and tasty, quality food.

Visited for the first time today and I can't speak any higher of this establishment. Friendly staff and superb food, the chips are crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, the batter on my fish was nice and crispy and the portions are very generous. They even gave me a few chips to eat while I was waiting for my order to be cooked. 3 years after posting my review and I stand by everything I said. I've ordered from here several times over the last 3 years and every time the food has been delicious! The portions are generous and very reasonably priced, there are so many options on the menu that you're sure to find something you like the sound of. This is one of the best chip shops in Colchester!

These kebab were amazing and they were the best, the guy called Ali helped me to choose the best option me to eat. Recommend for everyone who need best kebab and doners. Loved it ❤️🤤🤤

Super food as always, and lovely polite and friendly staff, thank you

Only had 20 quid but the order was 20.5 let me off and gave some chips on the house!

The absolute best!! Me and my boyfriend are so impressed everytime we buy from here. Excellent service and great food. We wish you had a tip jar as we'd love to leave you a little extra. Great stuff.

Portions are tiny. Cod was not fresh. Over priced. Nindy's are better quality and value. Will not return if they were...

Great fresh food, highly recommended

Nice place, friendly staff, good food. Love it here.

Best kebabs in the area. Owner is really friendly. Staff are great and always give you a few chips whilst waiting

Been going here for years, always fantastic food, friendly staff and great portions. Really highly recommended!

Always good food and friendly staff 👍

Has a good reputation in the area. Only tried the fish and chips twice as just moved into the area but it has a varied menu which attracts many customers , especially on a Friday night. Manager and staff very customer orientated.

Plenty of food dishes to choose from, never been disappointed with the quality so far.

Great Food always get takeaway if in colchester, and staff are great

Food all ok need to update the menu so you can read it better

Excellent food.. very clean and hyginic... great price.. would highly recommend!!!

Really nice friendly staff and got a small portion of chips while waiting for our order

Great food friendly staff A++++

Nice cod and chips, well cooked and served by friendly staff.

Excellent Food Establishment. Kamal the Manager is a really friendly great guy. The food is of a very high standard for a takeaway. Very clean.

Good service And brill food as well I use all the time They only take cash

best kebab I've ever had chilli sauce is perfect used a few times and to be honest don't think i will go anywhere else kem and the team brilliant

Popped in on a saturday evening and it was very busy, which is always good to see. Got home and the food was really nice, portions were huge, I did not need large everything 😂 medium for me next time 👍🏻

I am local but usually dont use local chip shops as we call them. This takaway is clearly making an effort as I visited this outlet twice within two weeks and the tender remembered that I like my chips open to stay crispy and half with salt and vinegar so I can share with my wife as we differ in how we like our food. They make a lovely youglotu too! They could do with smiling more but the food is good and the place is so clean. Try it you will be happy.

A solid takeaway. Nothing special to get a higher rating

I ordered just a chicken salad and the salad was so disgusting, not fresh at all, almost like it had sat there all day. The lettuce was wilted and gross. Very disappointed. I will not be ordering from here ever again!

You can call and order to collect, the food is really good not had anything I didn't enjoy. Customer service is great all the staff are really friendly. You may have to queue as its popular.

They are open during the lock down👍

These guys need to learn how to cook chips there wet and under cooked. More like last weeks chips . They make a nice kebab though

The best fish and chips in Colchester by far, The batter on the fish is crispy and the chips taste so fresh just the thought of them starts my mouth watering, keep up the excellent work guys

Outstanding food I really love it here. The best take away in stanway for sure😁

The perfect chef , they sure are lovely food,we ordered several different items all fresh and hot , doing a great job amid the chaos of this virus , ordered via phone for collection lovey lady on phone , given order number shop is adhering to social distancing, to ensure they are still able to support the local community we have used both collection and their new delivery services, could not ask for a better customer services very friendly and able to sort my allergy issues , would highly recommend this company for all take away and delivery service keep up the good work

I ordered fish and chips and 2 kebabs on a pre order ready for 15 mins later. Arrived and paid. Waited over 30 additional minutes, to then be told my food was on top of the counter, I asked if it had been there all the time I was waiting and was it still hot/fresh...got a muttered response while he unwrapped my food and put his sweaty hands on it to feel if it is was still warm before wrapping it back up. Got home, unwrapped the food and not edible, chips reheated today many times and soggy, fish was thick with grease and luke warm. Chicken kebabs cold and slopped together in a container. Called to advice shop of this and they said fine for a refund if I came back in. Went to the shop straight away and they refused to give me my money back only new food! Why would I want to eat there after that experience, I will never eat here again - , they are unhygienic, handling cash and touching food at same time, no social distancing, too interested in taking cash (why no card payments!) rather than hygiene. WILL NEVER USE AGAIN IMPERFECT CHEF !

Best kebab in Colchester by far had kebabs when I lived in London and in Tottenham. None of this greasy meat fresh salad n fresh meat had the 10 pound double wrap with homemade garlic yogurt sauce 10/10 banging bit of grub from boss man well recommended

Nice takeaway would recommend the bbq pizza

Our local favourite. Particularly enjoy the Pizza and they make some of the better chips I've had since living in the UK!

The food is 5* and is a very clean place would recommend thanks.

Fabulous food and great customer service

Really good food, great vegi burgers and nachos

Nice place. Good chips. Still good after being taken over

Been refurbished.. new owners always got good food from here and staff have always been pleasant when we have been in there

Good menu choice, friendly staff, prices a little on the higher side of rest around

Quality fast food, great service

Not bad food just on the pricey side 👎

The worst fish and chips I've ever had in my life. Chips looked and tasted like they had been cooked in black oil. The fish was absolutely terrible and plastic tasting and the curry sauce was congealed. avoid

Delicious food cheap but a bit of a wait

the smallest and the most expensive doner I've ever had... I'm very disappointed

Truly the best Shish kebab and chips in Essex! Great atmosphere, a very clean and modern business with friendly and approachable, positive attitude employees. Credit to the business! The selection on freshly made food is amazing. The chips are dusted with cinnamon and taste mouth watering. The standards of sourcing the meats are of very high, I would say London Restaurants Quality. Fantastic customer service, and food preparation is second to none. Take away packed into sustainable paper brown bags and the sauces are delightful. Competitively priced and good value. High Recommended.... I LOVE the Food!!

Delicious chicken shish. Friendly service.

Been coming here for a few years now, they're possibly the best takeaway in Colchester. Highly recommended!

Nice food, fresh and friendly staff!

Friendly staff will be returning

Really good takeaway. The best doner I’ve had in 20 years.

Honest David's reviews Friendly staff selling good take away food. The pizza are well priced and in my opinion better value than both pizza hut and dominoes pizza. The 15" pizza are very fairly priced and they offer buy one get one half price (at the time I wrote this) so it was two 15" for £16.50... much cheaper than dominoes!!! They do all your other usual stuff including kebabs which look very nice. It's local ... It's cheap... And it gets **** from me

Best take out .. love the kebabs!!

Always good food and friendly service

I have to agree with everyone they are very polite and welcoming. We liked the food and didn't have to wait that long for it to be cooked either and they gave us some chips to nibble on whilst we waited which my littlest loved. I'll be back to try the tikka kebab I've heard good things about!

Lovely chips will go back again when I am in Colchester

Great variety and very tasty food with very friendly staff. Perfect when you can't be bothered to cook.

The food is great, the place is clean, what's not to like. They are welcoming and work hard to get the food to you got and wrapped ready to go. 😁

Best kebabs and friendliest shop in colchester. The chips while you wait are immense !!

Such lovely staff so very helpful and also very polite nothing is too much trouble. Food is great with large portions and always very hot usually cooked while you wait. A small parking area but is not normally a problem.

Just ok, not great. Kebabs not good value for the price (pretty small, not much filling). Had heard good things about this place but was very disappointed.

Brilliant place. Really nice chaps and excellent food!
