Please can we disqualify kebabs served in a naan, it’s not right, while we’re at it all this tikka stuff out too. Thanks in advance :)
Just to add any kebab that can’t be held in the pitta and eaten walking home without losing it also diasqualified.
Similar in that the kebabs I first had were cheap arse pitta breads, but once I started working in and around the city centre and found out about naan breads for kebabs I went totally the opposite way, for a while, the first question I would ask was if the kebab came on pitta or naan, if the answer was the former, I’d say “thanks but no thanks”.Exactly. Our first kebab experience was late 70's .... Oxford St. next to Odeon cinema. Donner or shish on a pitta, salad and lemon juice. Done. Superb stuff ... like the Greek gyros you get there now, minus the chips.

The best kebabs I've had without doubt were all in or around London. By far.I lived in London many years ago. The Shawarma kebabs on Edgeware Road are like nowhere else in the UK. I still crave them, I've never found anywhere else that comes close. Perfectly spiced meat, chicken or lamb, cooked on spits with nice crispy bits. Wrapped in a freshly made "fluffy" flatbread. Fabulous salad and pickle selections, I recall pickled cucumber, pink turnip slices, also some kind of spiced sliced onions. Selection of home made sauces, the tahini yoghurt sauce was the one for me, I did not feel the need to add chili sauce as there was so much flavour already, just a few pickled chilies.
Was really unimpressed with Leve bakery. The bread was nice but the meat was shite, the kurdish place opposite the overdraught is loads better (and a lot cheaper) for shawarma for me. Favourite place in lev though? Persian tasty grill, or whatever it's called now. Outstanding.3 best kebabs in Manchester…
Levenshulme bakery for the mixed shawarma in their homemade samoon bread.
Mazza in longsight for the mixed chicken, lamb and donner.
Or A Star in Levenshulme for their home made donner.
Thank me later.
