Wow! This was a store i researched by chance! And looking at the reviews! I was ot disappointment! The main attraction was the fact they sell Lamb! Which is a rare meat to order in Japan.

On arrival the shop has a nice shop front with a large cabin and kitchen. Seating is available inside and out. The atmosphere is great! I met the chef who kindly showed me behind the kitchen. The chef was amazing and told me that thr kebab meats are authentic Turkish. They also sell stick kebabs, and other dishes! It’s the BEST i’ve seen!

The lamb wrap was amazingly good! With fresh naan, and the mixed salad: onion, tomato, lettuce, olive’s. Also, a selection of self service sauces; mildc garlc yoghurt and spicy.

The lamb is aromatic and crisp, and deep in flavor. The chicken doner was just as amazing. A nice fresh pita, with a clamp shape presentation. The chicken was moist, crispy edges and a delightful taste.

The chef gave me some turkish tea, and was an amazing host!

I don’t often say “ this is the best kebab” but truly ! This restaurant is one...

Ali’s Kebab is a very small spot with only about six seats inside, so finding a place to sit can be tricky if it’s busy. The atmosphere is simple, and instead of air conditioning, there’s just a fan to keep things somewhat cool.

The menu is quite broad, offering Persian dishes alongside the more familiar kebabs, döner, and even pizza. The food itself is okay—decent enough if you’re craving something different from the usual ramen and sushi—but the flavors could definitely use a bit more seasoning and spice.

Service was fine, though not as warm and attentive as the typical “Japanese hospitality” you often experience elsewhere in Tokyo.

Overall, it’s an okay option if you’re in the area and want a change of pace from Japanese food, but don’t expect anything...

Only six seats inside and two out in front. Turkish decorations only in some trim above the paneling. Atmosphere feels more like an izakaya. Dinner menu is fancy but expensive. Lunch menu is basically a la carte. Wi-Fi available on request. Branch location about a year old and I was surprised by their Farsi. Some confusion about jalapenos, but now I think they don't have them. Perhaps they aren't halal?

The chicken Pita Sand(wich) Kebab was delicious but typically hard to eat. I managed to minimize the sauce leakage. I also added the extra sauces at the bite level, and especially liked the spicy one....
