SAVED my LIFE last night guys - Literally!! Food was excellent, as always. Rapid service, even with a queue going out the door, all included with a handsome smile from each of you. What more could we want from our local Kebab Shop?! (Apologies, for my behaviour - that was a Type 1 Diabetic Hypo and I would have been in real trouble if you hadn't have looked after me.) See ya soon guys - For the Wings!! xx
Parking
CAMERA!! Issuing parking tickets to your door right outside the shop. (Park on the opposite side, and away from the Zebra crossing and you should be fine)

Been coming here since I was a little - Never once have I seen an opportunity to give negative feedback. Highly recommend the Chips & Salad combo, Hummus & Garlic sauce for my Veggie mates - Their salad is the classic mix, always fresh and chilled, how you'd expect salad to be!

A local kebab shop that has been open for many years and I would recommend to go to them. They’re one of the best local kebab shops you have to come to. Their food is always spot on and their customer service is always second to none

Excellent staff and great tasting food. Chips are always excellent and I love going for the mixed kebab. Best kebab I've ever been to. I recommend that you should at least try it once. If you are scared eating here because the food is halal. Don't worry too much as all meat (except pork) in the UK is actually halal. If a meat packet or restraunt does not have the halal sign. It's only because the meat hasn't been blessed.

I don't come here very often, but I've been going for almost 20 years. The staff are very friendly and the food is amazing, one of the best kebab shops in Thornton Heath! Prices are a little higher than competitors but it's what you'd expect for the quality you get. Chicken doner is definitely better than any other shop I've had it at!

I love this place, open till 2.30am Monday to Wednesday, till 3.30am Thursday, and 4am Friday and Saturday! Good quality food, consistently good, wonderful staff, always wearing their uniform and clean place. I think food hygiene rating is 4 or 5. Good portion sizes and good prices too.

The best chicken doner wrap in my area. Staff is friendly. Chicken doner wrap is juicy, tender. And even the chips is crispy, and tasty.Well done!

Always freshly cooked and enjoyable to eat. Staff are friendly and helpful. Although deliveries have started the only drawback is that they are cash only.
