Breaking News: New Kebab Shop

Details are sketchy at the moment but not too far from Ritas, near the Pipe and Slippers and next to Rice & Ting on Stokes Croft is a new Kebab shop. It is called Shalimar Kebab and Indian Takeaway - it has a neon sign in the window which reads "KEBAB" which presumably can be illuminated when these are available.

I have a feeling this used to be a standard Balti house, but probably lost out to Indian Fast Food (see reviews passim) and Asian Spicy up the road. Now they have removed the seats and created a standard counter-style arrangement. They are still selling Indian food so I can only hope and pray the option of doner + naan exists.

After a delicious Rita's earlier in the week, things are looking up for Stokes Croft - could this be the new centre of Bristolian Doner Kebab Culture (BDKC)? Look out Gloucester Road, that's all that I can say.

I passed it again yesterday, I saw one of the servers happily striding outside to a waiting white van man parked on the pavement. He handed him a parcel which clearly contained a kebab of some sort as there were spots of grease starting to seep through the paper. Looks like incredible service - a review will follow as soon as humanly possible.
