"Definitely the best Kebab in Caen! This place is managed by a father and son, they are absolutely nice poeple! The Kebab unlike most of the shops, is made in the place daily. Very fresh and tasty. Anytime we are hungry, our first option is here! Thank you for bringing us one of the best kebabs in the world!"

"Dire que c’est le meilleur kebab de Caen serait mentir .. certes tout est fait maison et chapeau !! mais la viande est légèrement sèche . Le pain et les frites sont croustillants et le service est top . Nous avons commandé directement par téléphone pour ne pas attendre (toujours victime de son succès) ."

"Honnêtement ça m’étonnes même pas que ce soit le meilleur kebab de France. Si vous prenez que le kebab sans frites et boisson ce n’est vraiment pas gras le kebab est vraiment parfait.Aussi la sauce blanche maison est exceptionnelle .Mais les frites aussi sont sans aucun doutes les meilleurs que j’ai mangé. Enfin la formule kebab frite boisson reviens à 9,50. Alors entre ce kebab et un maxi best of je sais ce que je prends"

"The hummus was a little spicy which made it amazing!, I wish it came with more than one piece of bread though. It wasn’t enough. I had more dip left and nothing to eat it with. The chicken swarms sandwich was good but so incredibly greasy."

"Je dirais le meilleur Kebab de Caen car la viande est parfaitement cuite, la sauce blanche très légère, le chef en un temps réduit nous dorent de belles frites une fois qu'on y a goûté il est impossible de trouver meilleure barquette! Je recommande vivement. PS: je suis fanatique des oignons !"
