opposite my brothers house in erdington there is a row of takeaways with a chipshop come kebab place come curry house - the meat is great and they have a little grandfather type who as well as probably killed a couple of hundred soviet paratroopers makes fresh naan which is awesome. unfortunately seeing as its surrounded by council estates where vegetables are forbidden and the commonest request is for kebab meat and chips they dont understand salad and sauces very well.
gloucester has mastered the chicken doner thanks to the kurds and a decent salad spread goes with it so I dont regret moving so far south as much as I maybe should.
To be honest I reckon the south has got it spot on for kebabs.
Never had a decent one above the legendary Watford Gap and it hurts me to say this as I am originally a northern bastard.
