Kebab means meat cooked over fire, and the form changes with the kitchen: seekh and shami in Pakistani and Indian cooking, adana and urfa in Turkish, koobideh in Persian, shish tawook where the meat is chicken cubes. Some are minced and moulded onto a skewer, others are cubes of whole muscle.

A kebab house is usually a grill house, so the same kitchen tends to cook chops, wings and whole birds over the same fire.

What is the Lime Card, and can I use it at Halal Kebab restaurants?

The Lime Card is the Halal Food Pass dining membership, and it is optional. Members show their digital card before paying at a participating restaurant, and the offer shown on that restaurant's listing is applied on that restaurant's own days, times and conditions. Whether a restaurant participates is its own choice and has no effect on whether it is listed here or where it appears in this directory. There are currently 2 Kebab restaurants with active Lime Card offers.

How is this halal kebab list kept up to date?

Listings are curated rather than bulk-scraped, and every live listing is re-checked automatically about once a week: opening hours, open/closed status and contact details. A restaurant reported permanently closed is removed automatically, and anyone can nominate a spot that's missing.
