It was the first time I had a kebab from here in a very long time. I was very hungry on my late drive home. It was the tastiest doner kebab I have had and I have tried a few different places in Cambridge. The doner meat was very tasty and also, there was fresh white cabbage in the salad which is a novelty these days. The salad tasted very fresh too. A very nice chilli sauce and also garlic sauce. It was a good portion size with friendly service. Please keep the standard going and I will be back.
