Eden Kebab — Local services in Albert-Eden

The food here is sooooo yum but we struggle to order from here: the Indian man that works here always tries to make me pay with payWave on my card (even though I do not have payWave active) so I can be charged the surcharge. They’re food is delicious however they’re portions aren’t the best. We usually get the mix on salad but there isn’t enough meat. So we got the mix on salad with extra meat, and charged us $26 , only to see they have put half the amount of salad they usually do and the same amount of meat. As a Persian I love supporting my fellow Persian business owners, but this is the second Persian kebab shop where the Indian workers cut us short , we love the food but I feel like I’m constantly being ripped off so unfortunately we won’t be coming back. I will enjoy the kebab meat through my family who usually buy the koobideh and take it home to cook but I personally will not...

I’m curious as to how this place made it onto the Urban List - don’t fall for it, it’s really MID.

We bought a mixed on chips and rice, costing us $41.

15-20 minute wait for: 50% Rice , 40% Salad and 10% Meat.

We are not from this area but we decided to eat here as we researched it prior. This place was so deceiving honestly, and we will not be returning again. Nor would I recommend to anyone else.

I went back and told the owner how I honestly felt, and he fully lectured me about how the salads now cost him $8+ instead of $1 etc.

Understandable, inflation has hit us all. But don’t be like that man, there are other kebab joints that deserve much more praise for what they have to offer at similar price...

Tried this place out after filtering through some local kebab options and seeing this was rated highly most consistently.

Would have to say I struggle to understand many of the reviews that posit this as a top kebab, however that’s not to say I didn’t catch them on an off form day - I will try again in the near future and reappraise in a subsequent review.

My partner and I shared chicken kebab and lamb kebab - I will say the lamb was several degrees nicer but texturally a let down, on the other hand the chicken kebab was significantly lacking in flavour.

I do hope this was just my own experience and that the hype is real here - I will be back...
