Orient Express Kebab - Lambeth

Kebab, Burgers, Meat

Orient Express, a long-standing favorite in Leyton, showcases a mix of customer experiences. While some patrons praise its fresh, flavorful dishes—especially the homemade chili sauce and tender shish kebabs—others express disappointment in service mishaps and less-than-perfect takeaway orders. Loyal customers commend the consistent quality, generous portions, and friendly service, particularly during late-night visits. Yet, issues with incorrect deliveries and unprofessional handling of complaints cast a shadow on the overall reputation. Despite these setbacks, many agree that the tempting menu makes this establishment a must-try for those seeking authentic flavors in a casual atmosphere.

Was User at Orient Express Kebab a mag?
I arrived at this restaurant late and received excellent, friendly service. The owners were generous, which was exactly what we needed at that hour of the night. There aren't many other places open late in Leyton, but I highly recommend giving this one a try. View all feedback.

What User dislikes about Orient Express Kebab:
I ordered two smiling to deliver. Unfortunately, they only sent one and one hugging and chips. that's obviously not a big problem because I thought I could just call her and change it. but when I called the man, refused, they believed that they sent the wrong one, called me a lousy and went up on me. Eat was good and the only reason why tuis is not a star review. View all feedback.

Love this kebab shop. Very clean and the food is fresh and delicious. The chef has worked there for years and is very accommodating and polite. Great chili sauce.

I ordered two lamb shish to be delivered. Unfortunately they only sent one and one chicken and chips. This is obviously not a huge problem as I thought I could just call them and get it changed. However when I called the man refused to believe that they sent the wrong thing, called me a liar and hung up on me. Food was good and the only reason tuis isn’t a 1 star review.

I rarely leave TripAdvisor reviews as you'll see from my profile but I felt compelled to do so after eating a lamb shish kebab at Orient Express. The chili sauce is homemade and it is absolutely amazing, the meat was high quality and full of flavour. I really hope this place becomes a chain with an Orient Express in every town as I need it in my life.
