Our last night staying at a rental across the street from Kebab Pantin, we decided to finally run in for a quick bite to go. It ended up being tasty and a good value! We got a kefta sandwich and a kebab sandwich which were each about 8 inches and stuffed with meat, a little shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, chili sauce and white garlic/cucumber sauce. I found the sauces and veggies were skimpy--go ahead and ask them to load them up. The kefta are three spiced lamb patties freshly grilled in front of you before being packed into a soft torpedo roll (toasting the roll would be an improvement). The kebab is shredded lamb that was probably cooked on the turning spit--but could use some more seasoning or smokiness. The sandwiches were flavorful enough, though, and very filling-in fact I could only eat half of it and half the mountain of French fries that are included in the "menu" meal (plus a soda or water). Each sandwich meal cost around €7. What a deal, huh?!
Restaurant Kebab Pantin is not the type of place you should go out of your way for, but if you're in the area you should check it out for a reasonably priced tasty meal. They also had platters of meats with rice, fries and salad for €10-12. One platter could feed two small appetites or one super hungry person.
There are a few tables inside where you can eat, and it looks like the stairway leads to an upstairs dining room, maybe? Service is fast and prompt, but not that friendly. It's okay though, because it's just a no-nonsense neighborhood joint, like what you'd find in Queens or East LA. read more
