    This little gem is fairly a new contender to the Kebab scene, yet has taken the local crowd by storm with value-for-money and smoking-hot trade of meaty goodness. Rapture your eyes at a drool-inducing towering spit enrobed with slabs of meat. Be seated in the open-air dining space juxtaposed the stall, and linger for your kebab while observing patrons chomping down the gleefully. Either wrap your kebab in pita bread with a handful of greens and herbs or fret it by its own, your heart will certainly be racing for another as soon as you finish your first bite, justifying the never-ending queue.

    This cozy restaurant is a realm of Middle East delicacies, where Nasi Arab and Briyani steal the limelight, and the most sought-after sides are their toothsome kebabs. The meaty goodness is tarted up with fresh tomatoes as well as onions and then grilled beneath scorching charcoals. The exterior of the meat is pleasantly charred while maintaining the moist flesh that is utterly tender. Best enjoyed with spongy naan bread and gravy.

    Nestled amidst Pasar Borong Pandan, this unassuming stall is constantly flocked by patrons, all in the hunt to devour their freshly made chapatis, naans and kebabs, done the Pakistani way. The first thing that claps  onto your eyes is burger-like patties or cutlets but that’s actually a Chapli Kebab, a popular dish in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The plump patties are infused with minced beef meat, green chilies, diced onions, eggs, fresh herbs, and spices, then dropped on the sizzling griddle. Each bite into this tender meat just bombards your palates with flavours and usually no one stops with one as its wallet-friendly too. Best paired with kheemah and Cheese Naan.

The atmosphere itself is unique; it’s a simulacrum of walking into a jungle with foliage of greens and wooden interiors. Perhaps an upscale Robinson Crusoe for a day. Among the standouts that yearn to hit the sizzling stone is their NZ lamb kebab and marinated chicken kebab, served with black pepper sauce. Once you’ve grilled to your liking, just sink into the succulent and juicy meat that never disappoints your palate. Sides of corn and fried rice complement the dish.
