Delivery · Takeout
Lively late-night kebab shop with friendly counter service, generous wraps, and budget pricing, but mixed reports about cash preference, add-on charges, and occasional overcharging disputes.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Kebab Addiction delivers solid value through strong food quality with generous, freshly-cooked wraps and notably friendly, personable service. However, inconsistent execution on repeat visits and a cramped, utilitarian space prevent grade A territory. Best suited for late-night takeaway seekers who prioritize hearty portions and budget pricing over ambiance or reliability.
Restaurant Summary
A compact, counter-led kebab spot near the university that feels warm and bustling. Staff often chat with customers while grilling to order, and several diners note, "they cooked everything fresh while I waited." The vibe leans late-night-friendly with big, satisfying wraps and a steady stream of regulars and revelers. Do note that some past reviewers complained about extra charges and a cash preference, so check pricing and payment before ordering. The cooking is classic Turkish street-food style, not fussy: tender doner, juicy chicken shish, kofte, and a well-liked Home Mix Grill. The culinary approach is straightforward and portion-driven: familiar flavors, crisp salad, and sauces that can be tuned to taste. It suits anyone after quick, hearty comfort more than culinary experimentation. Families can do well here thanks to simple crowd-pleasers like nuggets, chips, and mild chicken. Portions are shareable, but the late-night, takeaway energy may be less relaxing for small kids. Vegetarian options are solid (falafel, halloumi, veg wraps), and vegan is plausible if you confirm sauces. If you need card-only payments or a calm sit-down meal, consider timing your visit earlier in the day.
