    a tough draw. but i’d got to say the most spiritual kebab experience i ever had was my first caspians. although, i had no idea how to actually eat this food at the time…

    I agree that the first Caspians experience was indeed ‘spiritual’. I was new to the country and such delicious offerings (I had only ever had one kebab before that and didn’t like it).

    I still insist Al Quds is better though, now that Caspians has gone downhill (or maybe just lost its charm? - Maz doesn’t seem to be there as often these days…).

    My best kebab experience, however, was a combination of the 2. My friend Mia acted as the getaway driver as I took a freshly made plain kebab (just meat - kobodeh - and bread) from Al Quds and sped straight up to Caspians before the steam from the meat had chance to make the bread soggy. From there I took-away a salad with sexy sauce and chillis (which the staff found quite bizarre). I hurried back to the car whereupon, and this is the important bit, I COMBINED the Al Quds “Quobodeh” with the Caspians-Condiments and thenceforth had become the inventor of: the ULTIBAB.

    It’s gotta be a toss up between the kebab kid “plane crash” (doner and chicken meat one side, chips and falafel the other side, all drowned in garlic and chilli sauce) and the mr kebab meat feast.

    The meatiest is ever come across is Mr. Kebab’s meat platter, but I guess that’s not quite what you meant… what was that place on the curry mile with the Afghani vertical clay ovens? That was pretty cool.

    I forget the names of so many kebab houses, as I’m generally drunk when I attend. Kebab Land in Brum did my favourite dirty-kebab.

    I suppose when you’re talking about absolutes, it’s an impossible question to answer. I did, however, have a kebab so good once, that when I split it on the floor, I still ate it.

    Guys - you should try the almost mythical…Marmaris. (bonus points for a scenic setting beside the weir!)

    Shabab’s kebabs are ruddy lush. The fresh baked bread makes it yum yum yum yum.
