Salamis Fish and Chips Kebab in Braintree is a classic “everyone can find something” takeaway, mixing traditional chippy favourites with kebabs, grills, pizzas, burgers and wraps, plus late opening on Friday and Saturday for easy weekend orders.

Salamis Fish and Chips Kebab sits on Fairfield Road in Braintree and is firmly built for those nights when you want a hot meal at home without overthinking it. The big appeal is variety. You can order like a traditional fish and chips shop, or go down the kebab and grill route, or pick pizzas and burgers for a group. It’s the sort of menu that works for families and mixed cravings, because you can cover a lot of tastes in one order without having to split across multiple places. The listing also keeps the practical details simple, with clear opening times, a Braintree town-centre location, and delivery mentioned, so it’s designed to be a straightforward “order and enjoy” option rather than a sit-down venue.

If you’ve never ordered from here before, it helps to think of the menu in a few easy lanes. First up is the proper chippy side. Fish choices include cod, plus options like rock, plaice and haddock, with scampi also listed. If you like adding extras that feel properly old-school, cod roe and fish cake are available too. For a classic order that hits the spot, a large cod with chips is the obvious starting point, and it’s the kind of meal that travels well if you’re collecting.

Then you’ve got the kebab section, which is clearly a major part of what Salamis does. There are German beef doner and German chicken doner options, plus mixed doner choices. The kebabs are served with salad, pitta bread cooked in a stone oven, and a pot of sauce, which is a nice detail if you like that proper takeaway kebab set-up rather than just meat and bread. If you want something that feels a bit more like a plated meal, the grills are worth noticing too. Grill items are cooked on a charcoal grill and served with rice, salad and pitta bread. That’s a good route if you want something hearty but not deep-fried, and it’s a solid choice when you’re hungry hungry.

Wraps are another strong option here, especially if you want something easier to eat and a bit less messy than a full kebab. You’ll find wraps that follow the same themes as the kebabs, including chicken shish wrap and lamb shish wrap, plus doner-style wraps. There are also a few choices that feel more “takeaway lunch” than late-night kebab, like steak and mushroom or steak and cheese wraps, and even a halloumi and salad wrap for anyone who wants a meat-free option without defaulting to chips.

Pizzas are where Salamis becomes very handy for groups. The pizza side is extensive, with multiple sizes including larger party-friendly options, and you’ll see both classic and more loaded toppings. Alongside straightforward favourites, there are doner-topped pizzas and chicken doner pizzas, which are ideal if you want that kebab flavour but in a sliceable, shareable format. If you’re ordering for a few people, the pizza deals can be the easiest way to do it. Deals include “double” and “triple” pizza bundles in different sizes, plus larger mixed deals that add sides and drinks, so you can feed a few people without building it all from scratch.

Burgers and fried chicken sit alongside all of this as dependable crowd-pleasers. Burger meals are listed as coming with chips and a drink, which is useful if you want a simple, set order for one person. On the chicken side, wings and popcorn chicken appear in the deals, and there are the usual “comfort extras” that most people add on impulse, chips in different sizes, curly fries, onion rings, wedges, and cheesy chips (with both microwave and oven options listed, which is an interesting detail for anyone who has a strong preference on texture).

If you want a quick first-order plan that usually works well, these are sensible routes based on what’s clearly on offer:

Traditional route, cod or haddock with chips, add a side like onion rings.

Kebab route, large German beef or chicken doner kebab, or a mixed doner, plus a portion of chips.

Grill route, chicken shish or lamb shish grill with rice, ideal if you want something charcoal-grilled.

Group route, a pizza deal in the size that suits your group, plus one or two sides like wedges and mozzarella melts.

Dietary options are present in places, but it’s important not to guess beyond what’s stated. Vegetarian-friendly choices include items like halloumi options and a halloumi and salad wrap, and vegetarian pizzas are listed on delivery menus. Vegan options are not stated. Gluten-free options are not stated. Allergen information is not stated. If you have allergies or need strict guarantees, it’s best to contact the shop directly before ordering, because takeaway kitchens commonly handle lots of ingredients and cross-contamination controls are not confirmed in the available information.

Location-wise, Salamis is at 18a Fairfield Road, Braintree, Essex CM7 3HF. It’s a handy town-centre area spot for collection, but parking is worth planning because the listing states there is no onsite parking. If you’re collecting by car, it’s sensible to allow a few extra minutes in case you need to park nearby and walk over.

This place is best for real-life takeaway situations. It’s great for families because the menu variety makes it easier to keep everyone happy. It’s good for groups because pizzas and deals take the stress out of ordering. It also suits those late evening cravings, especially on Friday and Saturday when it’s open until 1:00am. And if you’re the type who likes switching it up week to week, one night fish and chips, next night kebab, next time pizza, you can do that without changing where you order from.

Handy practical info is clear on a few key points. Booking is not stated, which makes sense for a takeaway setup. Delivery is stated, and ordering online is promoted. Payment methods listed are cash, credit or debit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Customer toilets are not stated. Contact phone number is 01376 331288. Opening times are Monday to Thursday 1:00pm to 11:00pm, Friday 1:00pm to 1:00am, Saturday 1:00pm to 1:00am, and Sunday 3:00pm to 10:00pm.

Overall, Salamis Fish and Chips Kebab is a practical Braintree takeaway that earns its place by being flexible. You can keep it traditional with fish and chips, go full kebab with stone-oven pitta and sauce, pick charcoal grill options if you want that smoky flavour, or feed a group easily with pizzas and deals. If you want one local takeaway that covers multiple moods, and you like late opening for weekend orders, it’s a strong option to have in your rotation.
