Always a pleasant date night option! will always return, can be busy at peak times and be loud, but usually it is a peaceful ambiente

Very slow service, was there two and a half hours! eating was a bit cold when it came out and looked like it had been sat on the pass. too many covers for the kitchen, as well as the floor staff

Booked for the Mother's Day. table for 1 and came there in quarter past and it seemed that they already gave our table for someone else. we had put together a makeshift table and we were told we had to release an hour and a half later. all very good, but the service is not so fast. I felt as if I watched my watch and still had no control over it, so not the best! staff very polite and beautiful, but not the most relaxing lunch I had.

We have ordered chicken shish kebabs for delivery from Rayleigh Kebab many times during lockdown and have always been happy with the quality. However, on our last two orders, despite requesting no sauce, the chicken was very spicy (chilli heat). This made it difficult for us to eat, especially considering the high price of over £18. When we contacted Rayleigh Kebab about this issue, they explained that it was due to the marinade they had used, which they claimed should have been used up by now. Unfortunately, they did not offer a refund or any other form of compensation. This lack of customer service and quality control is a major concern for us, as we could have had an allergic reaction to the chilli. As a result, we are hesitant to order from them again in the future.

This restaurant is the best takeout spot in town and I highly recommend it. Their homemade chili sauce is incredible and pairs perfectly with their kebabs. The food is very tasty and fresh. Thank you.
