What to expect
Kebabinė Nr1 lives up to its 'Number 1' name for most regulars, who come back for the unbeatable value and the famously friendly owner. It's a long-standing local favourite on Gelvonų gatvė in the north-west of the city, the kind of unpretentious neighbourhood spot where the price-to-quality ratio keeps a steady stream of repeat customers coming through.
Portions are the headline: even a small kebab can be a full meal, and the 'kebab on a plate' (kebabas lėkštėje) is large enough for two to share. Beyond the classic wrap, you'll find dumplings (pelmeni/koldūnai) and French fries, plus a larger kebab set with fries and a drink. As with many spots in this style, the odd reviewer notes meat or sauce can be a touch inconsistent, but that's a minor footnote for the loyal crowd who rate it the best value around.
