“ I’m just in Maidstone eating a doner kebab with delicious fresh salad and rice. There’s almost enough for two and only 8.50. I’m VERY impressed with the food which is a rarity for me! ”
“ We visited Kaniklar yesterday for lunch and were absolutely delighted with the experience. I ordered the chicken kebab, and it was truly amazing—perfectly juicy and packed with flavor. The dish came with a generous portion of fresh salad, drizzled with a tasty dressing, and a side of fragrant rice. The portion size was massive—it was almost a challenge to finish it all! To top it off, we were served a complimentary basket of warm, freshly baked bread, which was the perfect cherry on top. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic and satisfying Turkish food! ”

“ Delicious food. Welcoming atmosphere. Friendly staff. It's a great restaurant. Their Jumbo Platter definitely lives up to it's name! It fed 5 people to the brim and there was even an extra portion size left over - it's definitely good value for money! Definitely recommend! ”
“ Give these lovely people a try! Tried this place after seeing the big German chain across the street and we wanted to support local. The best decision of our year so far. Lovely and attentive staff and a very nice atmosphere. Food? Oh my god the food. Took a little while to arrive but worth every second. We had the platter for two people. Enough for four people and every mouthful was fantastic. Beyond what we had expected and a massive recommendation for all to try. ”
“ I’ve been here twice now and I really like the food. I came most recently with my mother on Sunday evening. I ordered the mixed shish (lamb and chicken) and it’s delicious every time. The meat is soft and tender and full of flavour- I highly recommend this dish. It comes with 2 types of rice, both are tasty but if you prefer chips you can swap (the chips are nice too). My mum ordered the lamb chops, the flavour was nice but they were a bit too chewy for her liking so I’d bear that in mind if you don’t like too much fat on your lamb. We also had the halloumi which was 10/10. The warm fresh bread that is offered is also brilliant and the garlic mayo is delicious. The establishment itself is lovely and staff are friendly and welcoming. ”
