not exactly what you are looking for but there is a good kebab place on Boat Quay, can't remember what it is called but down near Penny Black - more like the Kebabs from the UK. Worth a try if you are missing them :)

The place I kno is not a turkish kebab, but it's a russian version of kebabs called Shashlik.. it's located @ Far East Shopping centre, it's between wheelock(liat towers) and Hilton hotel off orchard road.

They've been around for many years.. U can see it in the decor & the ehm.. help.. the waiter's ages ranges from 40-60 somethin.. it's pretty interesting. Check out the link below for contact info.

It's pretty good I would say and they got this Borsch Beef Soup that they are well known for. Give Russian kebab a try :P

Shashlik has nothing to do with kebabs! And they also have very little to do with Russian food, their borscht is made with tomato instead beetroot for chrissake :x

I have yet to found a really good kebab place in Singapore, but Cafe le Caire on Arab St and Sofra Turkish on Beach Rd are both reasonably priced and fairly tasty (although they cut some corners on authenticity).

So what's the difference between a Shish kebab and a Shashlik?

Cubes of meat BBQ'd on a stick... I think it has a lot to do with kebabs. It is also very common in Russia, I think originally brought by Turkish immigrants. Very much part of Russia though.

I think kebab is found all over the world these days, originating from countries in the middle east like Turkey, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt. Nothing beats the kebabs and falafel in Egypt for my taste, but as said, one can find it all over the world these days, including Russia and Singapore.

Back in Holland and Germany, it's a given: after going out til 4am or so, you end the night with a kebab, falafel, shoarma or alike in one of the zillion Arab snackbars.

I find the ones here around Arab street, especially Cairo bar quite good and it is also not presented as something culinary, just a nice tasty snackie.

There is a Turkish guy selling Doner kebabs at Peace Centre in Selegie Rd.

I expect that the Turkish restaurants around town such as Sofra, Capadoccia (Roberston Walk) and the Turkish resturant at Suntec (I can't remember its name) will probably serve both Doner and Shish Kebabs.

Can anyone else recommend any other Turkish restaurants or cafes around town?

Enjoy!
