Our review

Kebab House is a small kebab takeaway on Cornwall's Lane, off Main Street, doing Moroccan and Mediterranean fast food. It has a 1.0 on Tripadvisor from a single review and 3.6 on Google from 38, and the Index, leaning on the larger Google base, puts it at 3.70. The reviews were re-read on 6 September 2026; the newest is from July 2026.

The Google record splits almost evenly between five stars and one. The fans call it the best kebab house in Gib and among the best kebabs they have eaten, the lamb in particular; one reviewer raves about the crispy king prawns and onion bhaji with rice, coleslaw and dips, and another found it the only place in town doing a kebab-shop burger, served quickly and kindly.

The one-star side clusters around ordering remotely. The single Tripadvisor review, from July 2025, describes a Hungry Monkey order placed shortly before closing that turned into a collection, shouted phone calls from the shop demanding the customer hurry, and food that arrived barely warm and missing every add-on. On Google, others report special requests ignored on online orders, and a phone that went unanswered until they discovered the shop was shut with its hours not updated.

Food complaints are fewer but sharp: one calls it diabolical with sore bellies all round and warns off the aioli, and a Czech reviewer found the doner cut into huge pieces and barely wrapped. Rudeness comes up on both platforms.

Come in person, well before closing, if you want a cheap lamb kebab or those prawns; on the strength of the reviews, do not order online. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here; this write-up is from the reviews.

Written from the Tripadvisor reviews and both platforms' scores on 6 September 2026, not from a meal we ate — nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here. We show the Google rating but have not yet read Google's reviews for the write-up. The recurring themes it draws on are below.

What reviewers consistently say

Our summary of recurring themes across the 11 most recent reviews, written in our own words and read on 6 September 2026. Recent reviews from both platforms are quoted, with attribution, further down.

  • A small kebab takeaway on Cornwall's Lane, off Main Street.
  • 1.0 on Tripadvisor (1) but 3.6 on Google (38); Index 3.70.
  • Fans rate the lamb kebab, the crispy king prawns and the quick service.
  • Online and phone orders are where it goes wrong: ignored requests, an unanswered phone, a shouted closing-time collection.
  • Rude staff reported on both platforms; a couple of sharp food complaints.

What it gets right

  • A well-liked lamb kebab and crispy king prawns at a low price
  • Quick, friendly service on a good day

What it gets wrong

  • Online orders mishandled; a hostile closing-time account
  • Reviews polarised between five stars and one

How it compares

It holds 1.0 out of 5 on Tripadvisor from 1 reviews — well below the Gibraltar median of 4.1 across 106 restaurants with enough reviews to rank, and on only a handful of reviews, so treat it as indicative.

How the Gibraltar Index Score is built

It is not an average of the two. Each source is weighted by how many reviews it carries, then pulled toward the Gibraltar average so a high score from a handful of reviews cannot outrank a strong score from thousands. Kebab house scores 1.0 from 1 on Tripadvisor and 3.6 from 38 on Google, which the model blends to 3.7.

We read the 11 most recent Tripadvisor reviews and summarised what recurs, in our own words; the reviews we drew on are quoted below, attributed to their authors. The Tripadvisor and Google scores are each shown 1:1 as those platforms publish them; the Index Score is ours and the formula is above. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, so nothing is a first-hand verdict.

    Rushed, Rude and Disappointing

    We ordered food via Hungry Monkey about 20 minutes before the restaurant's closing time, expecting a smooth takeaway experience. We got all the way to the final stage of placing the order when we were suddenly told we had to collect it ourselves – not ideal, but we went ahead. While we were on our way (just a few minutes away), we receivemore →

    The food is pretty diabolical, but the real attraction is just how rude the staff are. Sore bellies all round. Avoid the alioli.more →
