You may remember The Oxford Kebab Experience’s last review of Kiku Moto (look back through your kebab scrapbook to Part 4). It wasn’t very good. In fact, what with ‘rubbery pitta bread’, dry meat and even dry sauce, it bore the brunt of all our criticism and wore the badge of ‘worst van in Oxford’ for a while. However, things have changed: the Kiku Moto enterprise has been transformed. It is now trim and efficient; the customers’ needs are paramount and fewer nasty bits sneak past the quality control. As a result, the superiority of the local competition (in the formidable shape of the McCoy’s van on Pembroke Square) might even be seriously challenged.

The kebab meat is now light, crisp and not too greasy. Chilli sauce remains good (the redeeming feature last year) with real bits of chilli in it. The chicken meat is also crisp, properly cooked and quite nice (but no marinade, which is a shame). The salad is crisp (our word of the week) and fresh (or at least it was when we tried it). Even forks are supplied automatically, without having to ask. On top of all this, the range of foods available has expanded to include various combinations of meats, vegetarian options (houmous), baguettes and potatoes with various fillings, and even chips (oven chips, but nevertheless a welcome inclusion - chips are surprisingly rare in kebab vans).
