Kebab & Döner in London

Doner, shish and chips over the counter are the staples here: nearly three in four shops deliver, more than half list halal food, and about half of those with a price list £1–10 per person. Some follow other traditions. Tavuuk Gemuse Doner on Bateman Street in Soho works in the Berlin döner style, with halloumi and falafel wraps; Santorini Gyro in Purley is a Greek gyros shop; Shalamar Kebab House in Whitechapel and Kebabish Original in Rainham are Pakistani; and Shawarma Time, inside the Greenwich Islamic Centre in Plumstead, is Lebanese and opens at 7 AM.

More than a third keep serving until 1 AM or later on some nights. Kebab & Burger House on Blackheath Road closes at 4:30 AM, and at 5:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, while Selim Kebab on Sydenham Road and Croydon Kebab Centre stay open until 4 AM at weekends. In South Kensington, reviews of Bosphorus Kebabs often mention its mixed grill, and Food Works Turkish Kitchen on Strutton Ground serves Turkish platters and adana kebab.
