Rowda Ya-Habibi
Kebab joints are a topic of zealous conviction. Superlatives are wielded like blades. As with books, sports and artists, everyone has a favourite, and their favourite is always 'the best'. Whatever you happen to like, it's inferior, because they know what 'the best' is.
Even with this bias acknowledged, there's no question Ya-Habibi ranks among the top kebab joints in Sydney. It is one of the rare places that remind you a kebab can be a work of art, not just an oily but necessary late-night mess.
Out front, meats are served that rank above most restaurant fare, and the felafels are known to reduce even sober patrons to tears. Those enjoying the epic banquets served in the cushion rooms upstairs are served with a charming abruptness, and get to follow their feed with the delight of peach tobacco through the hubbly-bubbly. Hyperbole can be a dangerous thing, but in this case it's appropriate.
