Saray Kebab NishiAsakusa

About

The scent of grilled lamb hits you before the door opens. Saray Kebab NishiAsakusa is a small place, but the flavour packs a punch. The Adana kebab, a spicy ground lamb grilled on a wide skewer, is the star. At 1,800 JPY, it’s served with a fluffy rice pilaf and a sharp, pickled turnip salad that cuts through the richness. The lamb has a fine mince, almost creamy, with a whisper of chili that builds slowly. This is a halal-only kitchen, certified. Most kebab shops in Tokyo rely on beef or chicken, or simply aren't halal. Finding a place that does lamb this well, with the traditional spice blend and cooking method, is a genuine find. It’s a taste of Anatolia in a city that usually leans towards its own distinct flavours. The room is narrow, with a few tables and a counter overlooking the grill. It’s usually busy after Maghrib, especially on weekends. Asakusa Mosque is a 17-minute walk away. Go early on a weekday if you prefer a quieter meal.
