What to expect

Kebabų ir šašlykų NAMAI — literally the 'House of Kebabs and Shashlik' — is a Šeškinė spot that many diners single out as the best kebab in Vilnius. The draw is a simple, generous formula: gigantic portions for very little money, kebabs stuffed with a lot of well-seasoned meat and fresh fillings, and an owner whose warmth and generosity comes up again and again. Don't be surprised to leave with a complimentary treat such as fries.

Come hungry, or come to share: the 'large' portion is enormous and can easily feed two. Beyond the standard wrap you'll find a deconstructed kebab on a plate (kebabas lėkštėje) and grilled shashlik (šašlykas) skewers, and card payments are accepted. One practical note from regulars: listed opening hours can be unreliable, so it's wise to call ahead before making a special trip out to Šeškinės gatvė.
