Kebab & Döner

The largest groups of kebab shops are in London, Berlin, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Munich and Hamburg, but the list runs through hundreds of small towns in Poland, southern Italy, western France and Finland. Berlin has about ten Gemüse kebap shops, serving döner with grilled vegetables, among them Rüyam Gemüse Kebab on Hauptstraße and Nefis Gemüse Kebap on Kottbusser Damm; the style turns up again at Tavuuk Gemuse Doner in Soho. Stuttgart reviews talk about yufka wraps, Munich and Hamburg ones about dürüm, and Rotterdam reviews of Hira Döner centre on kapsalon. In Nantes, Rennes and across Brittany and the Loire, reviews of shops such as Yayla Kebab mention French tacos and white sauce, while about two in five Rome and Lisbon entries double as pizzerias.

Hours run late: almost a third of the places with listed hours close at 1 AM or later at least once a week, Kebab King on Warsaw's Aleje Jerozolimskie lists 24-hour opening, and Zaytoni on Manchester's Oxford Road serves until 4 or 5 AM on most nights.
