It's been a long time since a thread on kebabs....

I'd back that up. Had a lamb doner wrap - it was lovely. Staff as Simon says were very friendly.

on the pot noodle front my teenagers gave it 7 out of 10 its a slow burner and doesn't make you quite as sick as quickly as other pot noodles and believe me they are experts on cheap bad food front.

interesting concept...im a vegetarian...and came out of kebabalcious...stuffed! :) delicious falafels with homemade houmous...chips that aint disappointing...and a greek salad that tasted really fresh, full of flavour for a simple salad!! must be tried...highly recommended!! p.s for all you non-vegetarians...the place was packed so i assuming their kebabs cant be that bad either! (",)

Tried it at the weekend. Very friendly and the food is indeed great, other than the sauces!

Excellent quality meat and nice fresh salad, horribly let down by cheap, squeezy-bottle sauces. Hopefully an easy fix for them, or maybe I just caught them low on supplies as can happen with a new business.

Overall I'll certainly go back, and I'll certainly comment on the sauces.

I tried the large lamb shish last night for the first time, and it got the b seal of approval. Top nosh.

I must admit I wasn't sure about my chilli sauce though. It looked a bit smooth and perfect to be home made.

Five stars for this place. Really good place run by proper North London Greeks. Me and the live-in-lady got two mixed shish and while we waited for it all to be cooked (on charcoal) the owner, Steven, sat us down and gave us a small plate of doner meat to try. Now, I usually avoid doner like the plague that it often is but the boys at Kebabalicious make it themselves out of the same cuts they make the shish out of. Meat was top quality but I see why previous posters had concerns about the source of the sauce - but I loved it. Will be making some regular visits I fear (especially as you can bring your own without paying corkage).

I get the impression that there probably isn't anyone left to convince, but I thought I would add my thoughts after my first visit last night. I wouldn't usually dream of eating donner meat but after a sample I was convinced and had a delicious chicken donner with lovely fresh salad for the bargain price of £3.90. The owner was lovely too. I wasn't keen on the chilli sauce, far too sweet for my tastes but the garlic was perfect. It's also on my route home from the Noble, so full marks for location, taste and friendliness. I was too drunk to recall the decor.

I feel that its time to resurrect this strand. Three visits to Kebabalicious so far:

Visit 1: great service from the new owner. Amazing salesman. Lovely food, beautifully cooked. Doner kebab tasted odd - like Sunday roast lamb - not my taste but I know other people loved it. Visit 2: strange service. Lots of people in there working. The owner was busy chatting up two 14 year-olds in the back so left it to his workers, who seriously overcooked the kebabs. Horrible. A few months later... Visit 3: one little old man working there. Lots of very odd things about the service and how they served things up (no pitta with the kebab?). The posh "Sunday roast" lamb doner has been replaced by the usual cheap plastic meat (much nicer).

How can things go so quickly wrong for new business?

1 visit back in June after reading the rave reviews on here. There will not be a second visit.

I'll schlep over to Crystal on Holloway Road when I next need a kebab.

I liked the "Sunday Roast" lamb but saw they now have a spinning elephant's foot so it's a no-go for me.

The sunday roast-style lamb was great. We were in there at the start of September and the guy was raving about how much better it was, how they were committed to good kebabs etc. It cost £70 I think he said, as opposed to £35 for an elephant foot.

Next time I went in they'd swapped it for elephant foot. I asked the guy behind the counter about it and he maintained they were trying out the elephant to see which one people preferred.

I pointed out they'd just lost their unique selling point.

Shame, as for the brief time that it lasted it was great to have good kebabs. Albeit, their elephant foot is better than most.

Roast lamb kebab is back.

Went into Kebabalicious on Friday and the elephant foot had been replaced with roast lamb.

A lot healtheir and less greasy than a typical elephant foot doner, and very tasty. Great kebab.

Went there the other week, it was alright. We sat in the back room and watched the footy while we ate. Nice bread and salad and the meat was alright, but the chilli sauce was awful - definitely not homemade. Had a suspicious, almost flourescent glow about it.

I used to think Crystal on Holloway was the best kebab shop, but have recently switched to the one on Blackstock, by the first bus stop going away from FP towards Highbury. I always get shish, so can't comment on the doner, but it looks alright. You get a really nice big plate of salad and olives, the bread is the lovely soft variety, not just cheapo pitta, and the meat is grilled to perfection - and the sauces are delicious. My friend knows the owners so they always give us a ladle of stew on our rice for free and it has never cost us more than a tenner for the two of us with drinks. The decor is a bit dated but I can live with that.

Mmmm! So do I! Think I'll wander down there shortly.

If you get the grilled shish option with rice and salad it's a very healthy, balanced meal.

Yes, that's the one! Thanks wideboy!
