true, bad bread, bad toppings, bad meat. but I think drunk people dont care
I can’t stress this enough. I have tried many places for a good kebab. Got disappointed every time.
There is a a kebab place in central Kyoto which seems really popular. Never been there but googlemaps ranking is 4.7 so must be good
Mezopotamia Kebab House

But the curry be bussin.
Low quality or not, you still get a decent amount of meat
Too expensive too import the amount of lamb meat needed for a decent kebab. So Japanese kebabs are 99% garbage. Not sure why you’d buy kebabs at an Indian run place either.
Turkish Cafe Karakus in Den-Den Town, Nippombashi, Osaka is not bad. Really depends which guy is standing there making them though. The owner’s son used to work there and he would actually take the time to wrap them up nicely and they were amazing.
600-900yen for a kebab isnt really that bad tbh… in australia you would pay almost double than that these days and although they’re “better” i wouldnt call it a world of difference.
Why are you eating kebabs in Japan
I enjoy the Kebabs in Ueno, Tokyo. Many places fail to meet expectations.
I had the best Shawarma I’ve ever tasted outside of the Middle East and the US the other day in Hommachi. The owner is Palestinian, so it’s legit.
The best kebab I had in Japan was this Turkish guy in Maniwa, Okayama. He would just travel around turning up to all the festivals.
Anyone notice a trend of Kebab places to put their meats in rice cookers to keep them warm instead of heating them while they are on the skewer?
This takes away the authenticity imo.
There seems to be only one major kebab chain around where I live with a couple of restaurants and about 20 food vans that go to all the major shopping spots around the city. Bit expensive (¥800~¥900) and so-so quality, meat is usually too dry and there are so many spices mixed in that’s impossible to taste the difference between the lamb and beef kebabs. Really miss the kebabs from the UK, they are way greasier but taste so much better than what we have here.
Why y’all paying 600+ yen for a terrible kebab?
I would not trust a 600¥ kebab.
I think the person working the stall is a bigger issue than the price. A truck was staying in my town but the kid didn’t care about the food so it was shit and they eventually moved from the location
Oh I thought the one in Kyoto and in Tokyo okachimachi were actually quite authentic and very close to the real deal in Turkey. Much better than dutch places who just soak everything in garlic sauce.
The shops were run by real Turks. You can know easily because they’ll let you know by their signature greet: “hellooo mai frieeend!!” Or the Japanese equivalent “aniki!”
Go get yourself a decent turkish kebab from “Kebab Chef” in shimo-kitazawa. I haven’t heard one bad thing about the taste from anyone I brought there.
