Afghan, Turkish and Middle Eastern kebabs across Melbourne's western suburbs
The western suburbs run on kebabs. Late-night snacks, quick lunches, family dinners. Afghan, Turkish, Lebanese, and Iraqi-style kebabs all have a presence across Sunshine and St Albans. The competition keeps the quality high and the prices low.
A good kebab shop does three things well: the meat is properly seasoned and cooked over real heat, the bread is fresh, and the sauces hit the right balance. These seven deliver.

Derrimut Charcoal Chicken & Kebab does double duty. Charcoal-grilled chicken plus kebabs. Order a half chicken with kebab sides for the best of both worlds. Real charcoal grill, not a gas rotisserie. You can taste the difference.

Local tip: The kebab scene in Melbourne's west reflects the Afghan, Turkish, Lebanese, and Iraqi communities that call these suburbs home. Each brings a different style. Afghan kebabs lean towards charcoal-grilled skewers with rice. Turkish kebabs favour doner and bread wraps. Try a few to find your preferred style.
A good kebab is one of life's simple pleasures. These seven do it right. Browse all cafes and restaurants or explore businesses in Sunshine and businesses in St Albans.
