Chef's Special Kebabs

[NoVetec]

Tend to have one when I've exceeded ten pints! Or less if I haven't had dinner, like last night.

It stinks out the house the morning after and destroys my innards, but it's irresistible when blind drunk.

Anyone else eat these absolute monsters at the end of a drinking session?

Which sauce(s) do you have? Garlic mayo with a dash of chilli are my condiments of choice.

Salad, or not to salad?

[Badvok]

There's a place for people like you.

[NoVetec]

I do sometimes have a browse through there for inspiration for a hungover takeaway. However, I'm normally too drunk to take a photo and post the 'bab, and I have a lot of salad with it.

I also eat it with a fork.

I say if you're drunk enough to be able to handle a fork and not just plonk your face into it, then you are able enough to take a picture too.

Yoghurt sauce and chilli sauce.... no salad.


.... and a fork ;-)

I have yet to find a kebab shop that does a proper chefs special but also does really decent hot chilli sauce and proper roasted chillis rather than the slightly warm tomato sauce and those horrible green pickled chillis.

Mix burger sauce and lots of chilli sauce. That is the holygrail. Loads of salad and pickled chillis. Followed up with a gut full of regret the following morning.

this is where people do not understand chillies . there is a taste element not just heat and you can have more than one type of chilli in your kebab

Not had one for a while as I've been on a health kick. The best chef's kebabs have to meet the following criteria in my book:

- Must be served on an over sized naan made specially for the king of kebabs.
- Must be served on the kebab and not in separate components.
- Must involve a couple of the sausage type seekh kebabs.
- The lamb and chicken tikka pieces must be cooked in a clay oven and then preferably stir fried with onions and peppers prior to inclusion.
- There must be copious amounts of dinner meat.

I usually have salad, red onions, chilli and mango sauce.

I want one now.

mango sauce on a kebab is a new one on me . i will have to try that. to be honest if i am in the state of mind to order one , when asked what i want on it my usual reply is "everything , with lots of chilli ."

The best chef special kebab I have ever eaten was from a Greek kebab shop in London that has unfortunately long since closed down as they went home to retire. It was about £10 in the 1990s and consisted of =

Mix of home made (none of this mass produced crap) chicken and pork gyros
lamb shish
kofte
2 lamb chops
rump steak
lambs liver
pig kidney
loukaniko sausage
greek blood sausage (can never remember what its called but its like black pudding)

all served on a massive home made flatbread with salad of your choice and lashings of really hot chilli sauce.

Holy fk that sounds good. If there was a place like that near me, the owner would be a strong contender for god father to my kids. Could a place like that exist now, with all these buger and chips for £1.50 places? We need a place like that in leeds.

Fair comment - must try harder!

Couple places where I am do a nice hot chilli sauce. One place in particular's (out of two of the 'usuals') sauce is very hot - so hot you feel it whilst very drunk - it's quite tasty too.

It's not a 'bab salad with them. The juice from them is lovely on the kofte.

Ah, the Indian kebabs. Usually I go for the Turkish ones as there are no Greek ones and the abundance of Turk-ran shops are located in every possible walk home from a night out.

There is one Indian place though - this will be tried soon.

It does sound good - very good.

I haven't had a Greek kebab in an absolute age. There aren't even any Greek restaurants that I know of anymore where I live.
