One of the best kebab shops in Essex. Friendly staff. The meat tastes good, it’s not hard or rough and just melts in the mouth. Never had an issue with Hadleigh Kebab and it’s been here years.

Finally. Decent kebab shop. Best doner I've had in ages. Chilli sauce is fantastic. Nice twang and not too hot. Extremely friendly staff. Only stopped in while passing but I'll make the trip again. Even lent me a charger for my phone at 1.30 in the morning. Cheers guys.

Good food, available late into the night. Got back from a show and this was the only place still open. Had some ribs, chicken and chips and it was lovely.

Very welcoming owner and very friendly staff. Supplied food sizes are also reasonably large, fresh and tasty. During the COVID while working long hours, we had regular deliveries on time and when needed which was a great time saver. So, our staff and I are grateful for your service.

Have not been to this kebab shop in ages, wasn't disappointed the chicken kebab was lovely, just the right size for a medium. Chips where just been cooked, they where still hot and not soggy when I got home. Food was delicious A*
