Bar Kebabs in Blacktown, probably why they are always busy. I've noticed that the shop itself is a bit messy and untidy, so we usually just get a takeaway, we order a Donna kebab and it's full of flavour and taste fresh

If I'm ever wandering around in Blacktown and I feel hungry, there's not even a question of where I'm going to end up. Hooked on Kebabs is a hole-in-the-wall sanctuary that provides delicious comfort food.

I could describe their kebabs, but why bother? They're fantastic, as one might imagine. However, the outstanding dish of the day is always, without a doubt, their pides. I have had pides all throughout Sydney and this is the only place that seems to understand flavour. A tendency for pide makers is to stuff the Turkish bread with meat and cheese. Hooked on Kebabs actually takes the time and effort to season the meat with herbs and spices. The bread isn't packed to the brim in a way that results in messy eating. They also go light on the cheese, so it doesn't overpower the flavour of the meat. They also add onion and capsicum to the seasoning, making it a mouthwatering takeaway dish instead of a sub-par stomach filler.

Service is pretty decent, even when they're slammed. Not really a place I'd eat in though, because it can get messy quickly due to their high rates of turnover. One thing that irks me is that they never cut something exactly in half when we ask - it's not that hard to do! However, that's just not an issue in light of their pides. Furthermore, they're reasonably priced as well, at a bargain $5 for each pide.

If you think you know good pides, I dare you to try this! Absolutely wonderful, probably the only good place to eat on Main St, Blacktown.

Approximate cost: $7
