If you ever find yourself wandering down Orsett Road in Grays and catch the irresistible aroma of sizzling meat and warm spices drifting through the air, chances are you’re nearing Turkish Best Kebab-a hidden gem that’s quietly mastered the art of the kebab game in the heart of RM17.
Right from the entrance at 39 Orsett Rd, the place oozes a humble, no-frills charm that focuses on flavor over flair. The setting is casual, and while it may not have wheelchair-accessible seating, it does offer a welcoming entrance that keeps things simple and straightforward. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite, looking for a satisfying lunch, or fueling up late at night after a long day, this spot delivers consistently.
Let’s talk food. The Chicken Doner Mixed Kebab is a staple for a reason. Juicy strips of seasoned chicken, shaved fresh from the rotating spit, are paired with lamb or beef and served with warm flatbread, salad, and a side of sauces that hit all the right notes-from creamy garlic to spicy chili. If you’re the kind who believes in doing it all in one go, the Mixed Grill is your best bet. Think of it as the meaty jackpot: chicken shish, lamb kofte, doner, and gyro-all grilled to perfection. Each bite carries that flame-charred kiss that only a good kebab shop can deliver.
Craving something with an edge? Their Satay skewers bring a bit of Southeast Asian fusion to the menu, marinated in a sweet-savory sauce and grilled until they’re just the right kind of smoky. It’s a unique addition that adds variety without straying from the shop’s heart-Turkish comfort food.
What really makes Turkish Best Kebab stand out among other kebab joints in Essex is the freshness of the ingredients and the balance in their seasoning. Many spots either go bland or overdo the spice-but here, it’s clear that flavor is calculated. The vegetables are crisp, the meats are always tender, and the pita never feels like an afterthought. They’re also quick on the service, which makes this a go-to lunch or dinner stop for locals and those commuting through the area.
The Gyro is another strong contender. Packed with thinly-sliced, seasoned meat and often wrapped with veggies and tzatziki, it’s the kind of street food that doesn’t require utensils-or regrets. Whether you’re team lamb or team chicken, this one’s a crowd-pleaser with a Mediterranean soul.
Delivery and takeaway options are both smooth and reliable. If you’re local to Grays or the surrounding neighborhoods, expect your food to arrive hot, neatly packed, and generous in portion size. It's the kind of place where ordering a "quick bite" somehow still feels like you’ve had a proper, filling meal. Their counter service setup also means you can pop in and grab your food without waiting long-ideal for those lunchtime dashes or spontaneous dinner cravings.
Although the restaurant doesn’t boast modern decor or luxury seating, the focus is clearly on what comes out of the kitchen. And for that, Turkish Best Kebab earns its loyal following. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel-it just does what it does really well, with heart and hustle.
From hearty kebabs to late-night comfort food, from quick lunches to grilled platters that satisfy even the biggest appetites, this is one of those spots you’ll come back to-not just because you’re hungry, but because it’s consistently good. And let’s be honest, in a sea of kebab joints, that kind of consistency is gold.
Whether you’re a local in Grays or just passing through, Turkish Best Kebab is worth knowing. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the vibe is refreshingly unpretentious.
