Hungry in Phuket? It’s kebab time in Rawai

PHUKET: THE Kebab House in Rawai has been open for a little over a week, but locals are already dining there and love it. Here are a few reasons why…

Location: Simple. Kebabed between Serenity Terraces and the turnoff for Friendship Beach on Wiset Road.

The Döner Kebabs (chicken 85 baht, beef 120 baht): Many a mouthful of spit-roasted meat pleasure. Hearty portions, fresh yogurt and salad. You’ll be back once you try one.

Meat-free fetish: Vegetarians won’t be disappointed here and most dishes can be tailored to suit. Try the Eggplant Salad Babaganush (80 baht), or the Carrot Salad with garlic yogurt (90 baht) for a healthy dose of delight.

Happy to host: Turkish-born Omer Demir and his Polish co-owners are likeable lads and great hosts. They know the food they sell and greet patrons with a smile.

Menu surprises: Tas Kebabi (120 baht) beef stew with potatoes is worth a mention, as is the Iskender Kebab (140 baht).

Lunch and dinner: Open from 12-9:30pm every day, except Wednesdays.

You can contact the Kebab House restaurant on 085-577 0490 or 087-920 1400. Ask for Omer Demir.
