Awesome food! Kebab on chip was wonderfully seasoned, the chicken we got was well prepared and juicy in the best way. The fantastic service really topped it off. The man serving us was so kind and knew that we were sharing a large meal between two people and split it into two boxes for us. Definitely coming back the next time we are in town! (Pictured is one of the portions given of the large kebab on chips)

Amazing Kebabs and Indian food! However the fish and chips weren't what I thought as they weren't battered and undercooked. Every other dish was amazing though

Food was fantastic and tasted really fresh. The samoas were lovely and the kebabs were great. We both had lamb and they were so big we was so full by the end. You could get 3 sauces in the wrap which was great. There was plenty of meat inside too. The team that work there are really lovely and helpful and there was a good atmosphere which a lot of tables taken and people coming and getting takeaway. I would certainly eat here again if I return back to the area! Plus a great price!

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the roti from Kabab King, and I must say, it was absolutely divine! The roti was perfectly soft yet had a delightful chewiness, with just the right amount of char from the tandoor that added a subtle smokiness to every bite. It was freshly made, warm, and had an unmistakable aroma that instantly transported me to authentic culinary traditions. What stood out the most was its versatility—it paired perfectly with the curries and kababs, soaking up all the delicious flavors without losing its texture. Even on its own, it was a treat! Kabab King has truly mastered the art of making the perfect roti. It’s a must-try for anyone craving authentic, high-quality bread to elevate their meal. Highly recommend!”
