Shebab - The best kebab in West London by claypole

Review by claypole

Rating: 5.00

Looking just like your standard kebab house from the outside, Shebab serves a great selection of kebabs, all wrapped up in a fresh Naan bread from the clay oven in the corner.

The place looks clean, the food is excellent, it's open late, the staff are friendly, there is plenty of space at the back to eat in, its a short walk from Shepherds Bush Green, and a very short walk from Shepherds Bush Market tube station.

It really is as simple as that! Highly Recommended.

You have to get here early if you want to get yourself a table at Patio without having to stand about being entertained by the madness within for half an hour or so. You get shouted at for everything by the wonderful lady that runs the joint; the waitresses do indeed say 'thank you' after everything you say (and it becomes harder and harder to stifle the giggles, especially when you're having a wine); the between-course vodka is a throat-burning treat; and the food is top notch winter-warming sustenance that will fill you right up and have you happily queuing to come back for more. Awesome hearty stews and not a bad choice of wine and beer. Not for the faint-hearted and I love it, love it, love it.You have to get here early if you want to get yourself a table at Patio without having to stand about being entertained by the madness within for half an hour or so.

Yep, a cracking feast of a meal is served here: tiny-priced epic-sized portions (my friend's Lasagne was big enough for two). Vine Leaves has a very lively atmosphere (probably because it was a match night when I went... everyone cleared out shortly before kickoff) but I agree with bluest_ruth, wine definitely not world class. Ideal for a quick bite for a match or a gig.Yep, a cracking feast of a meal is served here: tiny-priced epic-sized portions (my friend's Lasagne was big enough for two).

Adams Cafe is a very well established local restaurant. They have the best Couscous Royale in London if not the UK. Their tagines are lip smacking. The starters are perfect and their welcome is warm. The wine list is well matched and they allow byo as well.

Nepalese Tandoori Restaurant - Great takeaway by Fimb

Only eaten in the restaurant once or twice, but have used Nepalese Tandoori for delivery regularly for the last ten years without ever having any problems. The food is consistently good quality, hot and arrives in good time, and always has some extra poppodums or pickles in there. The staff are always very friendly on the phone and have never got an order wrong - and also send us a greta christmas card each year!

Highly reccomended for lazy nights in!Only eaten in the restaurant once or twice, but have used Nepalese Tandoori for delivery regularly for the last ten years without ever having any problems.

When it comes to middle eastern cuisine in London, it can either be expensive or of poor quality. Abu Zaad eliminates both of these problems as the food is of the highest standard and the ingredients seem very fresh. The menu contains mostly very healthy options that are good for those who wish to cut down on their fat and calorie intake but still wish to enjoy themselves. The service was also very decent and the people are friendly. I would definitely recommend it to those who can afford Â£10 a person (which allows plenty of food) and enjoy middle eastern cuisine.When it comes to middle eastern cuisine in London, it can either be expensive or of poor quality.

If ever in the area and in need of a quick meal, this is first choice. Be it that the food is loaded with things that are very bad for you, the laksa and char kway teow actually taste somewhat close to authentic even though it only took them 3 minutes to make it. And considering the prices of dishes in this restaurant/take away that's ok by me. Once in a blue moon.If ever in the area and in need of a quick meal, this is first choice.

It's a strange phenomenon that you never encounter any Thai folks dining in Thai restaurants in London, maybe like the Italians they prefer to cook their meals at home or Mama knows best.

At least when we turned up at this restaurant in Shepherdâ¬"s Bush we encountered some Thai diners. Like the ambience of the place the owner seemed downright miserable, but he did manage a few smiles when needed. When I prompted him on what I should order, he immediately reacted by saying 'everytink on menu goot'. Abided by a minute of silence he suddenly blurted out 'I like beep salat and today pomflett goot'. And sure enough both the charcoal grilled sirlion strips of beef salad and whole pomfret were indeed superb. The Tom Yum Koong could have been spicier but tasty nonetheless. Finally we also managed to lick the platter of the Pad Thai noodles clean as it was that good.

Thank you Mr Puntar, Mr Owner, for all your efforts and the lovely food.

Forget about the pretentions from the other Thai joints in the West End and the toned down cooking of the ubiquitous ones attached to pubs all over, this is the real thing, warts and all. Enjoy.It's a strange phenomenon that you never encounter any Thai folks dining in Thai restaurants in London, maybe like the Italians they prefer to cook their meals at home or Mama knows best.

Was a wonderful restaurant, so many happy memories of the place. Feel like I have lost a very good friend. Had not been for 6 months due to birth of our daughter. We were planning to go this week for our first meal out since the birth only to find it shut and being wrecked by builders.
Even worse news it is now being converted to a chicken Cottage, not too late to stop the licence please go to the council website and under planning search for 270 Uxbridge road
and oppose the licence to try and stop the onward march of rubbish Chicken joints down the Uxbridge roadWas a wonderful restaurant, so many happy memories of the place.

Slightly hard to find veggie restaurant on Goldhawk Rd, strangely with cow heads adorning the outside.

I've been eating here for 10 years, and the quality is just as good as the first time. The food is imaginitive and perfectly cooked, bringing some real interest to veggie food which even the confirmed carnivores I have dragged there have loved.
The atmosphere is warm and friendly, and the downstairs room is perfect for a group of friends to eat and laugh together. And the crayons on the table keep even the most bored husband occupied.

BYO alcohol helps keep the price down, and if you run out there is an off license just over the road.

The portions at first look appear small, but you will find them all very suprisingly filling - I blame the large plates!

We generally pay around Â£20ish a head for 3 courses.Slightly hard to find veggie restaurant on Goldhawk Rd, strangely with cow heads adorning the outside.

This is a very nice address if you are around, looking for a good place to eat in. Although they also do take-away and home delivery, I would recommend to have your food in the restaurant: the staff is very kind and nice, a great attention is paid to the service and to the decoration, and the food is excellent. Tasty, well presented, with a great variety of dishes for all the tastes. Overall a very good destination for a Thai restaurant with a price range that is totally in the market place.This is a very nice address if you are around, looking for a good place to eat in.

We were long overdue a nice meal out together - babies and work had got in the way. So I looked on TP for local places to eat, and read the reviews that suggested it was quality food, nice atmosphere, not OTT.
I can't claim to be a real foodie - but even by my modest standards, the food was a bit lacklustre. Maybe it was the regular chef's night off - it was a weeknight (can't remember which).
The Americans at the next table who were there for a farewell dinner, were complaining a bit about it, too, according to my eavesdropping wife....
But the atmosphere was nice and dark and cosy and the company was 5 star, so we had a nice evening anyway. We were long overdue a nice meal out together - babies and work had got in the way.

Although there is a restaurant and a bar, my overall feeling about this place was that the bar was taking over. The food was alright but not really oustanding. It is more of a place where you go to, rather than to enjoy a great meal. So if you are after a place to enjoy a drink and then have a dinner between friends from the media world... That is probably the place to go in this area.Although there is a restaurant and a bar, my overall feeling about this place was that the bar was taking over.

Authentic Thai cuisine. The food is cheap the service is good. The menu is confusing because there are too many options. In this area it is probably the best option. Also book your place if you are going for lunch it gets very crowded.
