The Mighty Kebab

The Friday night Kebab has been a source of great pleasure over the last 30yrs but unfortunately, the end is now nigh, The king amongst men Bibis has it seems now lost its way,
A distinct lack of heath awareness and cleanliness has now caused a long term relationship to end, They just are not on it anymore. (possibly down to high staff turn over).
This is truly a sad sate of affairs' has anyone got a regular place that could now save the day in Burnley.
I do go with the theory that if you have a good measure of salad and cabbage on your feast you are off setting the negative of fast food.

Is K2’s still about?
Used to stumble in there at 2am for a kebab back in the day. They were huge too.
What makes a good kebab? Entirely subjective of course, meat to bread ratio and garlic sauce are mandatory in my opinion.

It must be swilling in chilli sauce as well, I think they shut down a long time back, if my memory serves me well they were the size of a small canoe.

haven't seen cabbage in a kebab shop for many a year which is a shame as lettuce just turns to slime.

Never mind the salad, more room for more meat without it.
A naan kebab with chilli sauce is the boy.
Lasts all weekend mind. Can’t beat the leftovers on Sunday morning for breakfast

I was always a Sumbuls large mixed man, although a chicken kebab from Planet Pizza was often decent although they close earlyish

I once woke up on a Sunday morning to find a nearly wrapped Sumbuls mixed kebab on the kitchen worktop.
I must have come home, set it down and gone upstairs to the loo then gone to bed
It didn’t go to waste though

My problem was once food was on my mind, I had to have it. Whilst waiting for my kebab I’d have maybe some fries and samosas, bhajis or whatever. Then the kebab always ended up in the fridge for the next day

Poznan Yes have been to that place and the kebabs are massive they run those shops like a military operation. Top place to go on the lash with a slice of culture to top it off.

Poznan is a great place been twice now with the Lads, tons of drinking an eating houses, it it well worth a trip out to the ground for a tour as well. Well priced as well.

I haven't eaten meat for over 10 years but the Armenian Kebab House on Harrowside in Blackpool is legendary. Nothing comes close in the kebab world.

I used to use Tulsi - they had an incredible mixed shashlik on naan that could feed two people on its own - but that place shut down.
I tried Turkish Best but it was awful.
Tried Burnley Kebabz most recently and they were actually almost at Tulsi standard so that would be my rec.

No idea if they're still going, but K2's is still my favourite donner kebab of all time.

Khyber in Clitheroe takes some beating, extra cabbage requested and given on every order

The “meat” is always at its best when taken straight from the spit, as opposed to having it steamed soggy for a couple of hours in a Bain Marie…
Bin the lettuce, it has NO place on a kebab. Plenty of shredded cabbage with a few cucumbers and tomato slices, fresh onions and chili sauce liberally applied and pickled chillies on top.
If someone finds that anywhere, please let us know.

The kebab should be stuffed inside a slit in the pitta along with pickled chillies and salad
Chilli sauce slathered over the top.
Never piled on pitta then buried in ingredients

How much is it for a kebab to be delivered in Burnley? Where I live, if you order something on Just Eat you're talking the best part of £15.

The first and most important rule of eating a Donna kabab is you must be at least half cut before eating it.
I very rarely get one these days as my local takeaway charges over £10 quid for it, and I don’t get ****** enough to enjoy it.
Last one I had was in Burnley after I went to oasis at Heaton park. It was lovely, although I reckon sober it would have been terrible

Correct. Kebabs in Hamburg are fantastic aswell. The bread is always cooked fresh each day and the salads are amazing.

Can’t believe someone said cucumber belongs on a kebab. What has happened to this country…..

The bit that can **** me off is this theory that people want a "soft pitta" . They are just crappage. And it's hard to get a proper bit of pitta at a supermarket. Morrisons have sold out completely , and you might get lucky elsewhere only if they don't stock Warburtons.

Chicken Tikka in a Naan Kebab from Taras In Rosegrove is immense. Chilli and salad and a portion of their chips..which are like steak chips and decent for an Asian Takeaway.
An honourable mention for Jaipur in Padiham too..but their chips are more like fries unfortunately.

I live about 200 yards from this establishment but , one pizza a couple of years ago aside, have not sampled its offerings. I’ll maybe give a kebab a go now.
