Very bad service: Camden Town
I went in to have a mixed kebab with the intention of swapping one of the 3 meats (lamb shish with lamb shawarma) even tho this was a cheaper option, I offered to pay extra because I prefer the shawarma shavings over the cubes of lamb as I find then to often be chewy and I struggle to digest that cut. Anyway, it seemed to be a difficult task for them, so I decided to leave as they refused my request. The way the man behind the counter started screaming at the woman who took my order was enough for me not to return as she was only doing her job.

I've never had substitution issues in any restaurant I've been in before, I've even had things made that are not on the menu. It was unexpected and you should consider allowing customers to change a thing or two on the menu, it's not difficult. I don't like leaving bad reviews. Take this as constructive criticism.

I was too early for the stew, so chose a chicken burger and salad.   Title is misleading, as it was a slim deep fried re constituted oval thing with a couple of strips of lettuce in a bun.  Not a salad and not real chicken.  I didn't eat the 'burger', it was inedible.  The bun was fine, but the filling wasn't.    It was disappointing to say the least.

  I ordered a salad, and it was served with just a tiny piece of lemon, and I asked for olive oil.   The salad could have been dressed better, or at least have salad dressing on the tables.    The only saving grace were all the little dishes of various dips inc hummous with pitta bread and olives.
Those are very nice and a bonus.    I paid my £10 with cash when the wiatress brought the bill over.

 I went straight to Leyland to buy some paint, when suddenly one of the waitresses turned up in the shop I was in to ask if I had paid !    I still had the £10 change of the £20 note in my hand.      I was quite shocked, and told her I had paid. 

 I rang to speak to a manager this evening and she was was extremely casual and couldn't care less. She went on to inform me that they have been using the same chicken (patties) for 25 years and no one has ever complained.  As for running after me into a shop she replied, 'well darling, the cashier didn't know'.       
I told her I would write about my experience there and she encouraged it, in her sarcastic condescending tone. As I said she didn't care.  

I have eaten there before with friends, but not anymore.

London isn't known as being a cheap destination, but you can make it one!

When you dine in, your order comes with a giant serving of Turkish bread and sauces, your main course, and hot Turkish tea to finish.

£7.90 Chicken Kofte...delish!
£5.90 Chicken Schwarma...delish!

The food here is definitely legitimate as it seemed to full of locals and Turkish/Middle Eastern looking folks eating here. I'm only sorry I didn't get a chance to here a second time.

One of my favorite places to go when I'm hungry for Turkish meal I love it way too much you got a big portion of food and it's very filling

Amazing food! I finally came to try out this place, and it def delivered. I order the kebab wrap but over chips. It was filling and chili sauce was spicy just how I like it - I was surprised being that it was in the middle of a tourist market where ppl thing mild is spicy smh.

Great place to be satiated for under £10 !

I really love the food of the place but the customer service was awful, they literally told us: "There are people waiting, do you mind leaving?" 
I had never felt kicked off of a restaurant, first time i guess.

The perfect antidote to a hard night on the tiles, Woody Grill is perfectly between the tube station and the buses north. 

Quiet a small space, it does have a seating area upstairs but this always seems to be closed late at night and so serves no purpose. 

The menu is your typical kebabs, thankfully their shish kebabs on the grill are very tasty though i could never try the elephant leg so couldn't comment on it. The chips are a bit cheap tasting but, then again, they actually are cheap so... 

The venue also sells some proper meals of lamb shanks and rice and some salads so there should be something for every drunk person that drifts in there.

Woody Grill is awesome.  It is the perfect place for a late nite bite to eat.  The staff is super cool and the food is fantastic.  Our order was made quickly and with the utmost perfection.  Keep up the strong work Woody Grill.  FIGHT ON

After walking past this small spot several times, we couldn't resist and it was a really great surprise. We got takeaway and everything was fresh and flavorful. Don't dismiss Woody Grill because it doesn't look like much--stop in.
