The Chicken Shawarma Wrap, JD Wetherspoon

Hello! I do wish this was some kind of delayed April Fools joke, or at the very least a fever dream of some sort, but it’s not. You can now get kebabs, of a sort, in Wetherspoons. They look like this: Now, full disclosure: if you’re reading this somewhere south of Preston, you’re in luck! […]

Shawarma Grill, Paisley Road West

Hello, good evening, WELCOME! So I ran a poll (see last post) asking which eatery I should review next – the choices were Shawarma Grill, in the city’s sexy southern district, or The Partick Kebab Van, in the city’s up-and-coming “west end”. The poll was close, but here was the final result, and the vote […]

Vivera Kebab

Hello there! The more observant amongst you will notice the word “plant” appears prominently here. Plant? Yes, chums, these are vegan kebabs, made from plants, not chickens or sheeps. How did I get here? Read on… I wish there was an interesting story behind how these ended up in my shopping basket. I wish I […]

Falafel, Manchester

How do. Back once again with the renegade master, and this time around Shawarma Police have travelled some considerable distance with their D4 damager to report on some severely ill behaviour in the world of kebab – a mere 400 mile round trip to get some lunch to Manchester and back. “BUT WHY? YOU CAN […]

Lazord, Glasgow

Oi Oi! Before we get going on today’s excellent “content”, let’s delve into the Shawarma Police fan mail, shall we? “Dear Shawarma Police, I don’t think you’re a real policeman, and it’s only a matter of time before you’re exposed as a FRAUD and a PHONEY. Yours faithfully, Reginald Hollis” Well Reginald, that was insightful. […]

Shawarmarama, Platform @ The Arches, Glasgow

Hi hi hi hi hi, hi. Once upon a time there was a nightclub. This nightclub lived below a mainline railway station, and had many adventures. Then, one day, the Police got involved and said “Excuse me, Mr Nightclub, but you can’t have any adventures any more”, and shortly afterwards it shut down. This made […]

Aroos Beirut, Whitley Bay

Why aye. Back last month when I hot footed it down to Sunderland to go to Doner Haus, I didn’t stop there. OH NO. One simply does not go to the North East of England to have only one kebab. Not when beer has been had, and one is in possession of an all-day Metro […]

Preview: Döner Haus, Glasgow

Hello hello hello hello hello. The last time we figuratively spoke, I went to Sunderland to eat a kebab. Whilst this was a worthwhile experience (see Döner Haus Sunderland), it’s not something I could do on a regular basis – it takes time, money, commitment, and above all, a big lack of something better to do […]

Chompsky @ Broadcast, Glasgow

Good afternoon to you, dear reader. This week, we (by we I mean me) review Chompsky @ Broadcast. You know this; you’ve just read the title. I didn’t mean to insult your intelligence. Sorry. However – I am going somewhere with this – it’s an @. An @? Yes. By this, I mean it’s a […]
