What the inspector found
- Hygienic food handling Improvement necessary
- Cleanliness & condition of the building Good
- How well they manage food safety Generally satisfactory
An inspection scores three things: how food is handled, the physical condition of the premises, and how much the inspector trusts management to keep standards up. At Turkish kebab the inspector recorded concerns over how food is handled. Because the overall rating is only ever as strong as its weakest area, that is what holds the score down.

Questions about Turkish kebab
What is Turkish kebab's food hygiene rating?
Turkish kebab has a food hygiene rating of 2 out of 5 (some improvement necessary), given by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council on 22 July 2026.
Is Turkish kebab safe to eat at?
A 2 means the inspector found problems the business is required to fix. The takeaway is not shut down, a rating is not a closure order, but standards were found to be below what the law expects at the time of inspection.
When was Turkish kebab last inspected?
Turkish kebab was last inspected on 22 July 2026, a month ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council rather than by the business.
What did the inspector find at Turkish kebab?
The inspector scored three areas. Hygienic food handling was rated "improvement necessary", the cleanliness and condition of the building "good", and confidence in the management of food safety "generally satisfactory". Lower concern in all three is what earns a high overall rating.
How does Turkish kebab compare to other places in Lisburn and Castlereagh City?
92% of the 857 rated food businesses in Lisburn and Castlereagh City hold the top rating of 5, while Turkish kebab holds a 2. 4 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council inspects Turkish kebab and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.

Is this your business?
A rating of 2 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at Lisburn and Castlereagh City, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
