I bought two medium chicken kebabs today. They normally cost £4 each, but today I handed over £10 and received no change. I asked the seller and he insisted that two medium chicken kebabs cost £10 (the board said £4 for a medium though). It feels like a rip off. Portion-wise it does not compare to Bodrum Kebab in Cowley. If you are near Headington, Dennis Kebab is the only option (but please ask the price before buying), but if you are driving, Bodrum is certainly way tastier and a better size portion.

Denis is a lively chap, out early until late and doing a terrific trade. Presumably he gets plenty of foot traffic coming from the railway station next door, but even at 9pm he was busy.

The chicken kebab is lovely; marinated as it should be and made with bite sized chunks. The provision of a fork means that you can avoid the bouncy pitta bread altogether should you so wish (and unless you’ve got some Rennie to hand it is advisable). The kebab meat wasn’t up to the standard of the chicken, but it was palatable. The portions are large, and the range of sizes/prices is ditto.

The salad consists of some onions, cabbage, lettuce and tomato (no cucumber!), and isn’t anything to write home about. Likewise the sauces. The aioli tasted of salad cream - no hint of garlic. The chilli had a distinct ketchuppy flavour.

If you ask nicely, he will cook an egg to go on top - to your liking. However, don’t bother with the cheese; a thin strip of rubber buried under the meat and fusing to the pitta isn’t worth 20p.
