A kebab shop is a quick service food establishment specialising in various fast food and street food dishes, primarily doner kebab and related sandwiches, including falafel. [1] [2]
Kebab shops were born in Europe, specifically Berlin with doner kebab brought by Turkish immigrants,[ citation needed ] as a natural evolution of influences from Turkey into Germany in the early 1970s, where doner kebab, iskender kebab, shish kebab and the like were served with fries and beer.
