Decent kebabs, good value for money, authentic staff…read more I judge a kebab place based on the size of the meat skewers slowly being grilled and if the fire is on. Nothing more I hate than seeing a kebab shop where the meat isn't turning and the grill isn't on. Either they haven't had a customer in ages or they just can't afford to utility bill, neither of which is really promising. Marimaris has the meat on fire and turning and since I had missed lunch and dinner and was walking up Balham high street towards the common, I thought I'd give it a try. I got a large mixed kebab and the thing was damn huge. There was so much meat and veggies that I ate my fill (and I'm no shirker when it comes to putting away food) and still have a bit left over. I felt guilty throwing it away but you reach that point where you know another bite is just going to be a bad life decision. Yeah I was past that so definitely time to go. Food wise, the meat is satisfying but by no means the best I've ever had. It's good for 6 pounds to get enough food for two regular people and it's close to my new house so I'll give it another try.

The shop was still busy with customers eating in, the meat was still slowly roasting and the guys behind the counter still looked rather clean and neat. I liked this right away as it proves they are running a hygienic business. They have a little sofa for people to wait while their meat is done. We had Kebab and Sishe Kofte (one of my favourites), took it home and it was delicious and filling. I will go there again for sure!

It was one of the best rice that I had tasted in a Turkish kebab restaurant. The lamb was tender, the chilli sauce was nice, but not hot enough. I like the salad.

I wanted to have fresh mint tea, but, they ran out of fresh mint. What a shame!

Now, I've had my fair share of kebabs over the years, but I have to admit the 'Cuffley Spesh' was one of the best I've had. For the uninitiated, the 'Cuffley Spesh' consists of doner meat, chicken skewers, lamb shish, rice, pitta bread and side salad (for the health conscious). The doner meat was tasty, juicy, not overly greasy. The chicken was tender and full of flavour. Lamb shish nicely seasoned and melted in the mouth. As for the rice, well they obviously have a magical rice cooker because it was fluffy, and not stuck together like you can expect in most restaurants. Pitta bread, fresh. Although, if I were to offer any feedback, maybe cut the pitta bread in a different angle as it wasn't easy filling it with doner meat and salad. Additionally, the meat still tasted great 3/4 fours later into the evening. Still juicy when cold and a distinctive lack of congealed grease. On another note, the customer service was great. Friendly and polite. The evenings events consisted of 6 heavily weighted guys, and three 'Cuffley Spesh' were adequate. I scoffed at a friend when he suggested only getting three. Personally, I wanted one each. I probably could have handled one on my own, I'm a big of a badass when it comes to filling my mouth with juicy meats, but sharing one was definitely okay as well.

Luckily for me the BEST KEBAB SHOP IN THE WORLD is located directly outside of the station. Seriously, the chicken and lamb shish are so flavorful and succulent that just writing about them makes my mouth water. The portions are more than generous, and the staff is so friendly, even when the place is packed with drunkards at 1 am. The pitta isn't the best, but that's probably a good thing... if I couldn't find a single flaw here, I'd eat their kebabs every day of the week!

I can't help but associate them with rubbery offerings inhaled as a…read morestudent under an alcoholic haze, bringing with them that inevitable feeling of guilt and regret the following morning. My dad indulges himself every now and then - which, considering his penchant for 50p tea in polystyrene cups from a greasy spoon, is in itself a bad sign - and my mum's words of warning still ring in my ears that every revolving doner has been there for years, with nameless meat glued to the outside of the ancient cores. So I tend to stay away. But on Sunday night, not only sober (well, one Crabbies down) but at the comparatively early hour of 11pm, I found myself in a kebab shop. I'd been dragged there by my friend who was significantly more inebriated than me but had been extolling the virtues of Ali Baba throughout the pub quiz at the Wheatsheaf. The lamb kebab, she promised, was the best she'd had in south-west London. Her words were so strong that I was nearly tempted over to the dark side, but having eaten four sausages at lunch in an effort to stave off my impending hangover, the idea of more meat nearly made me sick on their nice clean floor. So I opted instead for a halloumi and vegetable wrap, which turned out to be the best decision ever, because they grilled it, filled the wrap with copious amounts of salad, and were super generous with the cheese. Apparently a combination of garlic and sweet chilli sauces is not authentic but I do I look like I care?! The guys behind the counter were all cheerful and friendly, bantering away without a hint of sleaze, although that may have been because we were with my friend's 6-foot-something South African boyfriend. I waited until I was on the tube to chow down on my prize. Dear god, it was good. The first three quarters, anyway. Unfortunately it was so packed full of stuff (and rather poorly wrapped) that it all fell apart at the end, which peed me right off. Understatement of the year. When a sandwich of any description collapses before its rightful conclusion, it drives me round the bend. It makes me want to swear, scream, and hurl the remainder at the wall. I know this is unhealthy and the manifestation of a deep psychological issue, but there you are. I'm damaged, but at least I'm honest. Luckily the fact that I was underground and in the presence of children saved me from turning into the Incredible Hulk but I had to bury the anger and that was even worse. Ali Baba, you've put me back a good few years and that's just upsetting. Any good therapist will warn you. Don't repress those wrappy emotions.

The first night we went, it was after 10PM and they were all out of the doner kebab (I took this as a good sign). My husband ended up with the lamb kebab wrap, and I got the lamb beyti kebab wrap (minced lamb with garlic and parsley). We also got a side of falafel and took it back to our flat. Is it crazy to say this was one of our best meals in London? The kebab wraps were delicious, a spicy chile sauce providing a good heat to the meal. The falafel was out of this world good - best I've ever had. We went twice more: my husband loved the doner, though I personally found it too salty. I also had the yogurtlu beyti, which was lamb drenched in a yogurt sauce. It was really good, though perhaps a little too heavy on the yogurt. We never ate in - it seems like the best deal is to just get takeout. Kebabs are only about £5-7, and you get plenty for your money. We watched them cook the kebabs on the grill, and the smell was heavenly. They even throw the wraps and flatbread on top of the meat to warm and grill them a bit. There's a little bit of a language barrier making it just a little difficult to order, but it's absolutely worth it. Best Mangal has two other locations nearby, one just a block or so up the street, and another at the bottom of North End Road near the Fulham Broadway Underground. A great find, and a culinary highlight of our trip.
