The price ranges from 500 -1000 yen for main dishes such as sandwich kebab, doner
kebab, kofte, iskender, sis, adana kebab and so on. For appetizer such as paste or soup is around 250 – 550 yen. Some of the menus are also available for takeout. Dessert such as Turkish rice pudding and baklava (Turkish pie) can be ordered for 350 yen. Notice also that all of the menus are halal; they put halal sign on the menu.
We came at dinner time to Kebab Café, and upon entering the restaurant, we were welcomed by the nice smells of the foods. We ordered a mix kebab (1000 yen), an adana kebab (950 yen), a chicken sandwich (500 yen), and a rice pudding (350 yen) as the dessert. The menu has both English and Japanese, and the waiter speaks English so you don’t need to worry.
Adana and mix kebab came with rice, veggie salad, and pita bread (I am not sure if it is called pita bread there, but it is something similar to pita bread/ tortilla). Chicken sandwich came with bread (of course) but it had different taste with the usual sandwich in my opinion.
If you want to taste the variety of the kebab such as doner, kofte, etc. I recommend the mix kebab, which is a special plate mixed with the most ordered kebab. Adana kebab is a grilled kebab, made of minced beef and lamb. I really like lamb so Adana kebab was my favorite. The portion of the Adana kebab is enough for me, while the mix kebab was quite big. The chicken sandwich was pretty small; it has the normal size of sandwich so it might be not fulfilling enough for lunch or dinner time.

We also ordered rice pudding as the dessert. It was sweet, and in my (personal) opinion it tastes a bit like Indonesian rice porridge “bubur sumsum”.

The place is small and quite cramped, there are only about 3-5 tables for two people. There are bigger table for group of people, but they are also not so big. The wall is covered with painting and photos of Turkey.
Inside the restaurant
However, in my opinion, the cramped place is the only drawback of this restaurant. The foods are super delicious, and the price range is basically affordable. I could say that this is my favorite halal restaurant I have ever tried until now in Japan. I had never missed to eat at this restaurant every time I went to Shibuya. I once brought my friends who visited Tokyo to this restaurant for dinner and they were satisfied with the foods.
