Wha is your Favourite Kebab and where from?

Uncle Jims are, I believe, the only place in Worthing that make their own doner rather than buy something in from a cash and carry.

didn't 'uncle jim' have a shop in brighton, near preston circus many years ago? ''pure turkish dish, not a copy''

Would recommend the chicken or lamb shish from The Best in Peacehaven. Lovely chargrilled taste and quality meat.

Used to get a shawarma at a stall in Riyadh, that has never been equalled....nearest to it in Brighton, is the Lebanese place opposite the Temple Bar.

Same here but probably a different stall. I lived near Arabi's (name of Egyptian manager) in Nasyria, near the Ministry of Information. spent a lot of time in between shouting at Princes eating in there. The breakfast was brilliant, especially the kibda.

I was in Malaaz and Suleymaniyah...used to get wicked kebabs down by the old fort in the center....used to buy them a couple at a time..topped off with fresh mint..outstanding.

Last kebab I got was a chicken shawarma from Albion Kebabs and it was bloomin' marvelous.

Is Anthony's still there, just off St James' Street.
Monster kebabs.
I remember going in there on the way home one Saturday night out and requesting the biggest kebab ever.
He then produced a pitta bread the size of a shopping bag and filled it with everything, with a dash of hot chilli sauce, cost a bit mind.
A real two handed job.
I was walking back to Moulsecoomb and had to sit down on a bench at St Peters to finish it off.
I did succeed in finishing it but could hardly move after, so kipped there until the buses started running and caught one home, couldn't eat a thing till the following Monday.

Legend has it that back in the day, the original Uncle Jim and his wife used to set up kebab shops in towns where there was little competition, would run them for a couple of years, sell them on to other members of the Turkish community and then start again. I'm sure the Brighton was was one of theirs and there were a few around the South East.

Uncle Jims in Worthing has been owned by the same family now for quite a long time with the current owner being the son-in-law of the person who took over from 'Uncle Jim'.

apart from the standard doner (sliced 'lamb'), and proper chicken, not sure what the rest of meats are..

Kebabs over here in Germany are amazing.

Another vote for the German kebabs here.. Can be eaten without the need for 10 pints beforehand..

Best Shawarma ever was in Kuwait City - always needs to be Lebanese
