AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Shesh’s Egyptian kebab earns singular praise, described as a bold, soulful standout. Reviewers agree the food delivers a warm, unpretentious vibe that lingers.
“This is an Egyptian kebab with a piadina that looks like a pita. The chicken is well cooked, nicely browned, but it's cut by machine so it's thin. The piadina is thick, crunchy on the outside, but inside it's a bit elastic. The white sauce is very light, the chicken flavor is very light too. It costs €5, it's a good kebab, I give it a solid 8. The owner is super nice, they offer tea while you wait.”
