Kebabzzbar - Chicken Kebab with the Lot


Kebabzzbar is your typical kebab shop, serving a range of selections. Lamb, Chicken and Falafel kebabs are available. They also offer a multitude of options with what's in your kebab - A kebab with cheese, egg, hommus through to a kebab with the lot.


A chicken kebab with the lot will set you back $9.40 and you can select anything from the complimentary salad bar - hommus, lettuce, cheese, onion, tabouli, tomato, green capsicum, olives, cucumber and jalapeƱos. There is a selection of about 8 sauces to compliment your kebab choice.

Presentation: There is no 'nice' way present a kebab. Each kebab is wrapped in paper twice around the bread, and then a Kebabzzbar staff member gives you two options, eat in or takeaway. If you choose to takeaway, the kebab is placed in a small plastic bag, if you choose to eat in, the kebab is cut in half, and the two halves placed on a plate. 5/10

Size: A good size, however if you are feeling less hungry, you can select a different option which wouldn't be packed quite as full as the one I had. 9/10

Value for money: Pretty good value, again, giving you different options as to what you want to eat and how much you want to spend. The plain kebab starts at around $7.00. 7.5/10

Quality: This is probably one of the worst kebabs I've had from kebabzzbar. Whilst it looks well packed in the original picture, the other end was falling apart already at this stage, causing major structural instabilities when I got halfway through the first half and the sauce was running down my arm. This was because the paper wasn't well wrapped and the kebab started falling apart. 3/10

Overall: I've had better kebabs, and especially from this shop. A disappointing week from kebabzzbar. 4/10

Winner: Kebab or memory of Kebab? Memory of Kebab wins hands down. The Chinese looked more appetising than this today.

Very thorough, technically precice and detailed review there David, Popular Mechanics would be proud.

I did note that the kebab in question appears to have been well packed, so it may be your technique (aka kebabagobble) that has caused the structual instabilities in this case.
