Sultan Kebab in San Bartolomé de Tirajana has 1,827 reviews and a rating of 4.8 stars. Hardly any other tourist eatery in the Canary Islands enjoys such popularity. The 12 best kebab outlets on Gran Canaria are scattered across the whole island, not just in Maspalomas. El kebab de Toqir turns its spit in Arucas in the north, whilst Laiba Doner Kebab Gáldar has 511 reviews on the north coast. In Las Palmas, a major city, a mixed crowd jostles at the counters. Competition amongst the establishments drives up the quality.
Kebab shops in Gran Canaria: prices and opening hours
The takeaways open from early midday and stay open well past midnight, as the Spanish evening meal doesn’t start until around 9 pm. A decent kebab costs between 5 and 8 euros, whilst a set meal with a drink rarely costs more than 10 euros. In smaller shops outside Las Palmas, cash is often still accepted. Iqrar Doner Kebab is situated in the mountain village of Santa Brígida, far from the coast. In Telde, Laiba Döner Kebab jinamar is open. Waiting times tend to increase in the south of the island throughout August and around Christmas.
Tips for your visit
All round the pedestrian zones of Las Palmas, the skewers spin right behind the counter, visible from the street. Alongside the flatbread, white cabbage salad with a spicy sauce is tucked into the pastry pocket. In Vegueta, individual eateries grill their food amongst the historic façades near Santa Ana Cathedral. Gladera’s Kebab House leads the pack in the capital.
In the south, the snack bars are nestled amongst 113 bars. Some owners serve up ‚papas arrugadas‘ with mojo – Canary Islands wrinkled potatoes alongside Turkish kebabs. RICO RICO KEBAB in Mogán serves generous portions, often eaten standing at the narrow outdoor counter. In Gáldar, meanwhile, there are two places serving kebabs: Laiba Doner Kebab Gáldar and, right next door, Rony & Kebab Cafetería Pizzería.
