Last weekend I paid a visit to Ely with some friends. After the customary Friday night of gentle beers we decided to go for something to eat. My friend Mark fancied a kebab so we went out on the look out for one.
Fairly near the centre of Ely we discovered USA Fried Chicken which seems to sell most of the fast foods that are popular in the UK with the exception of curry. It sold fried chicken of course, chip shop food such as fish, pies and chips, pizzas, ribs and kebabs.
It seems that the chips were made with real potato though when we got there they had been sitting in the fryer for a while as it was at about half 10 just before the big pub rush. Mark and myself went for Doner kebabs which I would describe as above average. you could tell the meat was lamb. it was not too greasy. the pita bread was freshly toasted. there was plenty of cabbage and onion and the chilli sauce was quite hot though maybe a little thin.
Given that this is not a specialist kebab shop, I would have to give the quality of the kebab 6.5 out of 10. Doner meat is generally too artificial and I would have liked the whole thing to stay together better but in general I would say a good effort for a non-kebab specialist. Staff did ask us what we wanted as well rather than just assuming we were drunk so we just wanted everything.
