A staple of street food in Paris, kebabs satisfy all cravings and appetites, day and night. Describing various grilled meat dishes in many Middle Eastern countries, kebabs as we know them specifically refer to sandwiches filled with meat grilled on a spit, popularized in Berlin in the 1970s by Turkish exiles in Germany.
Nowadays, kebabs have crossed the borders of Europe but still take the form of a round, oblong or flatbread, filled with finely chopped meat grilled on a spit and raw vegetables (the famous tomato and onion salad), accompanied by fries and sauces. White sauce, harissa, Algerian, samurai—the choice is yours!
The name of the kebab varies depending on its country of origin; it is called pita, kebap or gyros in Greece, kebap, döner, or döner kebap in Turkey, dürüm when prepared in a flatbread, and of course sandwich grec or simply grec in France, particularly in the Paris region, a nickname it has had since the 1980s, when Greek gyros vendors were the first to sell this type ofsandwich.
Ultimately, whatever you call it, the pleasure remains the same. So, to discover the best places to eat a good kebab in Paris, read on!
