Turkish Shish Restaurant — Restaurant in London

Could not even eat the food purchased. Rice tasted like stale cheese 🤢 and the meat was hard/dry/smelly as if it had been there all day. Appalling food. I hope the food standards agency sees this and catches this restaurant!! This could have made my partner sickly for 2 days like previous places that say they are hygienic and cook fresh food but don't. Just look at the grease at the bottom of that rice and how old I wouldn't know. Due to wasting our money, had to leave this review and add pictures for other people to beware. Hygiene rating 1 for sure and nothing is fresh in those photos, not even 30 minutes after purchase 🤮. I saw other comments for poor customer service and the response was due to lack of staff. Lies, lack of manners more like, I definitely will not be back to eat at this disaster of a restaurant, charging £6.50 for a large kebab that looked like a medium portion. Honestly had to throw it...

I came for a takeaway and then felt the urge to eat in. Not only is it the same price as taking out, but the very friendly Turkish staff also serve you a nice large portion of gratis humous and salad with pitta bread beforehand. They dutifully watch you eat your starter before serving you with your main course. This all great, of course, but....

the meat used for the donner kebab meat was disgusting coupled with the rice being greasy. The large donner was £9.95.

Overview: Although staff cannot be faulted on friendliness and serving a decent salad the meat was revolting. And since the meat makes the substantial part of the meal, I simply cannot award the restaurant more than two stars (one for friendliness and another for the starter.)

Improvement is urgently needed. One final bit of info: their toilets are...

Fancied a quick lahmacun on the way to the station. Stepped in and it became a "let's just eat in" thing. Ordered two lahmacuns, "is that it?", says the glare from the waitress, as if our custom wasn't welcomed. I'm not one of these reviewers who write bad reviews just because I'm bitter about life, but this was poor customer service and it was only because of that British politeness that I withered in embarrassment rather than express how appalled I was. The lahmacun was presented nicely, in slices along with a salad and yogurt dip, but nothing quite like the standard of Green Lanes in terms of taste.

Unlikely to go again, why would I want to pay for such...
