Food is great, great portion size and good value for money. Food is always fresh and friendly service. Couldn't ask for more

Been coming here for over 15 years for a reason. One of the best kebabs around!

Been coming here for years, always great quality and friendly service. Best kebab van in town.

Never had a bad portion of food, great bloke working the van and food stays good and hot every time.

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.

Lovely food and the owner is a really nice hard working guy. Good value too.

Great food (I had a kebab and chips) and the gentleman who owns the van is lovely.
