Kebab Kid. a kabab place whose logo is modeled after John Travolta's character in the movie Grease. need i say more? most importantly, it is my ramadan savior. good, halal food within walking distance from my apartment and my school.
at Kebab Kid, they offer "freshly backed" bread. i tend to find an inverse correlation between grammar/spelling and food quality at halal restaurants. perhaps it is because the food is more authentic (one can say, fresher off the boat), or perhaps it is because the restauranteur spent his time developing his cooking instead of engaging in futile acts of learning. i actually look for spelling and grammar errors when i discover a new place. until now my instincts have been correct. the exception to this rule is the entire country of egypt where i don't think i have ever seen a single word of english spelled correctly on a menu and yet all of the food is horrible (and cold!). so i guess my theory doesn't hold all the time, but nonetheless keep your eye out for the typos.
(if i remember some classic restaurant typos i will edit this post and add them. and if anyone remembers any, please post them in the comments)

Got to love Kebab Kid! The staff even keep coming up to me randomly in the street and shaking my hand... scary, but kind of cool, and I'm sure very useful if I ever need a kebab while really drunk on Cowley Road :-p.
