Brothers Kebabs and Burgers – Annandale NSW Restaurant Review

We had a hard night of moving hard rubbish between our new place and the hard rubbish pickup at our old apartment complex, which took multiple, completely unnecessary trips because it turned out to be extremely easy to book hard rubbish pickup in the Inner West Council area. By the time we had finished moving all our stuff, all planned locations for a late night meal were closed, and we ended up at Brothers Kebabs in Annandale for a late night feed.

This halal snack pack with lamb and chicken was good, but expensive. I’m not sure of the price any more, but I want to say that it was in the neighbourhood of $22, which is quite pricey but I guess reflects the rising cost of everything these days. The meat was good, the chips fresh and crispy, and the saucing generous, though we were given the chilli sauce out of the squeeze bottle, not the luxurious looking spooned-from-the-tub chilli sauce that they were putting on the kebabs. I will have to ask for that next time.

I hadn’t had a pide for a good long time, and this chicken type pide hit the spot. Again, post midnight, I did not manage to remember to get prices or even the name of the menu item down. I wish it had come with more lemon, but I’m sure I could’ve asked for more.

A pretty good meal, good hours, and a rare finding of lamb.

Capri’s Kebab Pizza – Arncliffe Takeaway Review

We’ve had Capri’s Kebab and Pizza n-number of times over our numerous night shifts. Capri’s has the distinction of being open until very late most nights, late enough for us to reliably order at the end of a long night shift ward round.

The establishment itself is actually quite confusing, as it shares a location and phone number with Megabite Pizza, however there appears to be two separate menus, with Megabite providing Middle Eastern kebabs and pizza and Capri’s the Greek version.

Mixed Yiros (roll $13) – Delicious yiros meat in a wrap with hot chip, salad and tzatziki. Just what you need to keep your will to live during a night shift.

Capri Special Pide ($18) – Fresh and hot and cheesy, an unfaultable pide for the time of night.

One problem that I will point out about Capri is that they charge an additional $2 for tabouli, which, on top of a $14 charge for the base kebab is a bit steep. Tabouli is in my humble opinion an essential component of your kebab, and a $16 kebab is just too much. The other thing I’d mention is that I prefer the beef and chicken mixed kebab over the lamb kebab at Capri’s (neither are pictured). This is because while the lamb in the lamb kebab is indeed real lamb, it is extremely fatty, whereas the beef and chicken are your regular doner fare.

In my opinion Capri’s delivers a known quantity of good quality food, and is my personal pick for the night shift grind. This is not an opinion held by all of my colleagues, however, some of whom prefer Capri’s arch nemesis Adam.
