Let’s start with a premise: kebab is a Middle Eastern dish made from mutton or lamb. The most famous type is doner kebab, which translates to “rotating kebab,” referring to the vertical rotisserie on which the meat is skewered and then roasted as it rotates on the spit.
Kebab in Palermo
It is generally served in a sandwich or wrapped in flatbread, and in both cases, the dish is accompanied by vegetables and sauces that add flavor to the meat itself.
Today, we focus on the places where you can enjoy kebab in Palermo, according to a ranking by TripAdvisor. Here are the top three spots:
Mounir Pizza e Kebab: In first place is Mounir’s establishment. He arrived in the city intending to stay only a few days, but since then, he has never left, completely in love with Palermo. The shop and its owner, for over four years now, have become a city landmark: the bread is made by Mounir without yeast and left to rest for 24 hours, and the meat is turkey, seasoned with spices whose secrets have never been revealed.
Busnaghi: In second place is Busnaghi Panineria Kebab, located in Santa Flavia, specializing in kebab and sandwiches. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday, and takeout is also available.
SKK Doner House: We end the short list with this establishment, open for over two decades and passionate about kebab fast food. It all began in 2001 with the opening of their first restaurant. The mission of its workers is to transform every dish into a true culinary experience, a unique experience indeed.
