Chifafa, Clerkenwell, London:
Chifafa, Clerkenwell, London: At the vanguard of the new ‘prima döners’, Chifafa has gone a long way to restoring the image of the kebab and banishing memories of the greasy after pub/club ‘treat’. They’ve done that by offering fresh, low-fat options such as the Breakfast Kebab on soft souvlaki bread (shown on opener). chifafa.com

Mangal II, Dalston, London:
Mangal II, Dalston, London: Not so much a flagbearer for the new wave of London kebab concepts, but rather the best of the old guard. Mangal II is quite simply an East London institution. Look out for Brit Art icons Gilbert & George who are regular diners – as are many of London’s most famous chefs when off-duty. The restaurant’s unapologetic twitter account is hilarious and at times outrageous. mangal2.com
