Located near the Vatican Museums, Kebabbaro is an authentic Mediterranean take-out restaurant that is owned by few friendly dudes, and it got some delicious kebab at cheap price. Originally, I just wanted a snack but the portion was bigger than I thought and I was full! A kebab roll with fries and a can of drink is less than €10 too. The option also includes a falafel wrap or platter if you are somehow not into kebab. Anyway, it's primarily a take-out but there are few booth seats and you get your food extremely quickly. If you are tired of pizza and pasta, give this place a try! *Disclaimer: Okay I actually wasn't tired of Italian food. I was waiting for the metro strike to end, but I'm glad there was a strike because I wouldn't find this delicious kebab place without it!

Best off, the bread was warm, the ingredients fresh, and they didn't skimp on the meat. Yummy! Cheers! RS

They rushed us after we thought we were able to chose what goes in the kebab they told us to sit down. We explained dietary restrictions and they flat out ignored them and served us the wrong meals. The meals were still incorrect after they brought them out a second time. We didn't say anything we were so hungry. The fries also has no seasoning. Also it is a cash only establishment and it is not listed anywhere.

Our party of four came across this little place as we were walking back to our hotel after a…read moremorning tour of the Vatican, so we stopped in. We'd seen and rejected a couple of other doner places earlier in our stay in other neighborhoods because the menus looked odd: doner and kebabs were there, but seemingly as an afterthought to pizzas, hamburgers, and sandwiches. This one was the same, but now we were hungry so we gave it a try. I figured the burgers and pizzas were there to draw in tourists, but if we stuck with the doner, it'd be good. We ordered two doner sandwiches, a wrap, and a plate that came with meat, salad, and fries. We also got a plate of fries to share. Those came first, and they were crispy and piping hot. The entrees were also very good...but the meat was unlike any doner/gyros any of us had ever tasted. It tasted like carnitas. Ya know--shredded pork. I could see a sign from where I was seated proclaiming that all their meat was Halal, in which case it couldn't have been pig, but still... I wondered if they kept a secret stash of pork for the customers who didn't didn't appear to be Muslim, or if they had some weird technique for shredding their gyros that gave it such a different texture, but I didn't have the guts to ask our host. So the food here, while delicious, will always be a bit of a mystery to me.

The kuzu -- a Turkish lamb stew with potatoes, peas and red bell peppers -- was very good but salty. The cafe interior is very plain with about a dozen tables.
