I actually paused for a moment before deciding to review this place, something that appeared to be a typical high street kebab shop. I mean the line has to be drawn somewhere right? If I wrote about every new place I ate in then this place would be even more tired and mundane than it already is. Heck, I might as well start tweeting my every meal or something.
But then I realised firstly that I'm not really a food snob, secondly that no one actually cares about the ethics of food writing and thirdly - and most importantly - everyone needs to know about Waterfall Kebab Centre.
First up, let's start with the food: it was awesome. All of it. From the grilled meats (I had the Adana) to the fried chips to the salads, everything was prepared with such care and pride we started enjoying the food even before we tasted it. And once we did that I realised that this was a special place.
So on to service then. Our server was polite, chatty and engaging[1] - it was almost like we were visiting someone's home for dinner, and I guess in hindsight it's not really surprising that the place was a family run joint. We even started talking about movies and cake baking at two separate points. The free tea and baklava at the end was just the icing on the cake really.
Cost wise there were no complaints either; a tenner a head got us a spread of starters, a main each and a few drinks for the party. Totally worth it. If there was a distracting point it's that the place was essentially a kebab shop: it's probably not the place you would take the highly maintained Londoner date of today. Although quite frankly if they turned their noses up at this place I know which I would choose to stick with.
So there you have it, probably the best kebab shop I've been to. Totally recommended.
[1] And I challenge any of the guys I was with to deny fancying our server.
We had a fantastic day with my friends the other night. I am not a kind of person who writes review all the time so excuse me if I had not put a enough explanation.
Food was hot & fresh. Kebab interestingly given in a nice plate surrounded by fresh bread and in the middle there was lamb meat where under the meat there was a rice which was very delicious as it has been mixed in oil of lamb meat. As a side dish we were given a big plate of salad.
Drinks - we have taken ayrans & coke. Ayrans were really cold & delicious.
We also got baklava from the house for free. Nice touch guys.
Great family run restaurant, good quality food, clean place, hospitable owners, good portion size. From get go they serve bread, hummus and other items for free, Then tea and baklava served at the end. Would definitely recommend.
Very lovely and welcoming staff. Food comes quite quickly and is very reasonably priced; however the kebabs meat was quite oily. You also get a free salad and free bread, so definitely a lot more food that you'd have bargained for. I would highly recommend!!
This is one of the best kebab I've ever had in town! Their kabeb is so jucy, and the price is very reasonable! I do like their excellent service. They are so nice. I definitely will go there again.
Great tasting food at good prices and huge portions.
Great service with a range of dishes.
Had the adana wrap late evening. Fresh ingredients and friendly staff.
Fantastic food, eat in if you can. Ordered two lamb shish, came with side salad, tzatziki, chilli etc. really friendly service as well.
The lady was very hospitable. Chilled place and atmosphere. Great standard Turkish food, and you are served with Hummus and Salad alongside the main dish. Will be back again!
Went in to have lamb head soup so I can't comment about anything else.
The soup was absolutely lovely, they were generous with the portion. The price was also decent at £6.50 and it came with bread, salad, vinegar, chopped garlic.
I only give it 4 stars because there's nothing special about the restaurant. It's just a basic kebab shop with very nice lamb head soup.

Excellent Middle eastern- more like Turkish themed food, a family owned business which gives it a personal touch. It might be a bit pricey but it's worth the visit and the quantity of the food, with salad, humus, pickle- so a good bargain; and their baklava prepared in their own kitchen is a must try !!
Delicious food, generous portions and great value for money. The service was warm and efficient and we got so much more than we expected. The warm, fresh bread and free turkish tea and piece of baklava at the end was a lovely touch. We will definitely be back, I cannot recommend this place enough.
