“ Great kebab place! Never disappointed with them! Food is delish and they look after you well with the portion size! Just make sure to bring cash! Boom ”
“ The quality of the Lamb Doner exceeds any other in London. They still use their original recipe from 30+ years to make the spinning delight. The portions are huge and the customer service is polite. You will get served quickly as the guys running the shop are experts and friendly people. ”
“ The best kebab for a reason. Has been my go to spot for many years now and quality and consistency has stayed the same. My usual is the meat and chips with salad and honestly the portion is huge, one can definitely feed two people very easily. Prices have also risen over the years a lot (currently £14 for the meal I choose) but considering it feeds two of us it's honestly justifiable in my opinion. Have tried the one in Stoke Newington (which is apparently a huge competitor) but the one in Upton Park definitely exceeds! ”
“ I’ve been coming here since my childhood days and it’s not changed one bit: the food, service and overall ambience has been kept consistent throughout the many years they’ve been open! A real legend in East London. I’ve moved out of the area now but whenever I’m local, I like to visit. This is by far, the best kebab takeaway joint in the area, there’s no comparison. The quality to price ratio of all items, such as; doner, lamb shish, chicken shish is fantastic. The food always tastes fresh, there’s a generous portion of salad & sauces as supplements and staff are always very friendly and accommodating to your food requirements. If you’re visiting for the first time, I’d recommend trying the lamb doner; it comes with a hot pitta bread, a huge amount of fresh salad of your choice and sauces to complement it. You will not be disappointed. Speak thanks to Yakub and the whole team at The Best Kebab for consistently producing great takeaway Turkish kebabs, for as long as I can remember! I highly recommend this food place to anyone in the local area that wants only the best authentic tasting Turkish kebabs. ”
“ We have been loyal customers to the best Kebabish, defo 20 years if not more. They are so generous with their portions and amazing prices for the quality you receive. So generous with pitta bread and sauces we have had to ask for them to take some back. It is very rare to find restaurants that are committed to giving more and charging less than other kebab shops. Their uniforms are smart and classy. Always clean. The darling man who has been there from the beginning, the OG. He recognises my voice on telephone orders, even when I haven’t ordered for a while. They have made a loyal community over the years and it means a lot when they remember you and appreciate your custom. The shop is always full, Allahumma barik. Their customer service never slips. When they go on their well deserved break, we don’t go elsewhere, nothing comes close to their hospitality. I have recently moved out of the area, but when I come back to East Ham, BEAT KEBABISH is always on the to do list. Thank you for your care, and good food. ”
