With variations in Iranian, Turkish, Armenian, Arab cuisine and many more, kebabs are a takeaway favourite.

You can order anything from a chicken, lamb and doner meat to spicy Joojeh or shish kebabs.

Meanwhile the doner kebab, flavourful meat cooked on a rotisserie with salad and sauce, is one of the world's most loved dishes.

But if you wanted to discover the best place for kebabs in or near Southend, where would you go?

Luckily, TripAdvisor has a list of all the top takeaways and restaurants for doner, chicken, lamb and other style kebabs in and around the city.
