A cult-favorite North London kebab institution housed in a restored Victorian dairy, famous for elevating the genre with free-range meats and fresh flatbreads.
Ordering Strategy
Order at the counter for takeaway or a quick perch; ensure you get the house-made flatbread (lavash) rather than standard pitta.
What to order
Lamb Shish Kebab
Time Out explicitly states they "particularly like the tender chunks of chargrilled meat" in this dish.
Doner Kebab
Critic Giles Coren calls the doner his "desert island dish" and "magical", while Time Out highlights the "huge portions" served here.
Salads
Unexpectedly for a kebab shop, Time Out gives "top marks for its varied well-dressed salads".

Good to know
The Kentish Town location is the flagship with the historic interior; there is a second branch in Finsbury Park. Seating is very limited.
