From Doner Haus’ Instagram, err, well, three hours ago. The Shawarma Police were, to be frank, getting a little worried. On my final trip to the old gaff, I asked what the plans were, and a member of staff told me that they were looking to open a steak restaurant similar to their sister restaurant, […]
Hello, Hello, it’s good to… *the phone rings* “Shawarma Police speaking, who is this please” “My name is not important. Listen up. Were you really going to start a blog post with…” “Well let me interrupt YOU, sir, right there. These were CAREFULLY CHOSEN WORDS. I’ve not updated this blog in who knows how long, […]
Hello chums. It’s been a while! Well, no easy way to say this, though I hope you dear reader will understand – I’ve been pretty depressed of late. I’ll not bore you with the details. Regular updates will commence as and when they can. The last time I posted, I mentioned I was going to […]
HELLO, It’s been a while. 2023 was an odd year – I’m just going to leave that there on account that I am in no way ready to unpack any of it, certainly not publicly. I guess what I’m trying to say here is, there’s been not much by way of updates to this website […]
Hello! A quick one from me today – no review as such but a bit of news on the kebab front: Der Berliner is no more, and Döner Haus is shortly to be no more. Der Berliner, which opened (as a soft launch) in March, is to be replaced by Apostel, which opens this weekend, […]
Hello Hi Yes, Well, this was an odd one. The tl;dr here is that this here restaurant (pictured above) is indeed very good – for reasons that I will go on to explain in due course. The experience… well, I’m confused. In a good way! But confused. Last night, as I was returning home on […]
(Part 1 – David Cox Butchers in Bridgeton – is here) HOO! So, I did a post about David Cox Butchers back in July (on the 13th to be precise), about their rather splendid kebab pies, and I finished by saying that I would follow up with another post about where to get pre-baked, warm, […]
Hello again! Who remembers when summer happened, eh? That was a good week. The sun was out, the temperature got to nearly 30°C, and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. I say this because I’m writing up this trip I did a few weeks ago where I wasted a perfectly good afternoon getting Doner […]
Underwhelming. Gregg’s Chicken Shawarma Wrap, £3.60 with a drink or £3.25 by itself. 4/10.
Good afternoon! Just wanted to say a big hello to new readers who have worked their way here from the recent Glasgow World piece (if you’ve not seen it, it’s here) – welcome! It’s an odd feeling – this blog has been sitting here in the background for years, and now there’s a slightly wider […]
