Kebabzzbar - Chicken Kebab with the Lot - Take two!

Earlier this month, I had a chicken kebab from Kebababzzbar (link). It wasn't overly impressive. This week, I had another one, everything almost exactly the same, except for the sauce (I had satay and garlic sauce this time). The only other difference was the server. This time I had Short Girl. In the grand world of kebab making, not only does the quality of the meat, the freshness of the salad all account for the overall goodness of the kebab, but the server making the kebab for you plays an important roll. A little bit too much salad here, a few too many olives, too few jalapeƱos and the flavour profile of the kebab changes.

Short Girl
is very proficient at making the kebab, you order, and she doesn't need to confirm for the third time that you do in fact want lettuce on your "kebab with the lot". You get the lot. She confirms the amount of jalapeƱos, and the fact that you do want olives, green pepper, and cucumber, but the rest is THE LOT. This is a great boon in the ordering process.
It means you can say a kebab with the lot, and continue talking to Corporal Kebab or foodcourtguru all whilst being served and not worrying about having to answer "do you want cheese on this?".

The other really good thing about Short Girl is the wrapping of the kebab. You may remember that last time, my kebab was falling out the bottom, and not wrapped very well. Short Girl obviously has strong wrists from day after day of kebab wrapping, and she knows exactly how tightly to wrap it without either food falling out the end because it's wrapped too tightly, or having big gaps of air with holes due to it being wrapped too loose.


Overall: The stock standard kebab that I've come to expect from kebabzzbar. A solid 8/10

Winner: Kebab, of course
