It may be a long trek up the Cowley Road if you live on the other side of town, but if you are a serious kebab connoisseur, we think you will find it worth while. The Thursday night chicken kebab is renowned (and very tasty), but the choice during rest of the week is far from limited. As with most of the kebab shops, there is a lot on offer.

As well as the standard kebabs and chicken, there are various shish options, including the evocatively named ‘Shazlik’. Oh, and the chips are wonderful!

Go into Bodhrum’s on any night and it will be packed. It is a well known option for locals, though there is a certain feeling of anonymity (even for us…) leading to a sterile, perhaps unfriendly atmosphere.

The chilli sauce is well flavoured and, mercifully, not too hot. Aioli from Bodhrum’s will keep your friends away for a fortnight, but is fairly watery, so there shouldn’t be any problem with cholesterol.

The competition from the kebab shop next door can only help to improve the general quality of the food on offer.
