Aleppo Kebab

Nov 8, 2020

We were exploring the options on Ubereats and noticed that Aleppo Kebab was doing BOGO and on top of that Ubereats gave me a 50% off coupon, which worked out to a pretty sweet deal even with the delivery fees. 

 
Half Aleppo Mix $33.99 (it's one tinfoil container not two)

It was a bit more expensive than the in-store price (which was likely due to the Ubereats mark-up), but it was still a lot of meat with lots of pita underneath and sauce containers on the side. It didn't come with rice or fries, but since we also had the mixed plates (below), it worked out to be a lot of food. 

 

Mixed Kebob Plate (BOGO) with Chicken Kebab, Aleppo Kebab, rice or fries (we got one of each), grilled tomato, jalapeno, onion, pita, hummus and salad $18.99

The plate was a lot of food and very flavourful and delicious - it was great value for money since we got two of these plates for $18.99 and it came with so much food!

After reading the BlogTo article on Aleppo Kebob last year, I've been meaning to try Syrian food.

I thought the half Aleppo mix would be a good start to try a sample of their kebobs

 

Half Aleppo Mix $29.99 

The platter came with two spicy Adana kebabs, two Aleppo kebabs, one chicken and one beef cube kebab. The Adana and Aleppo kebabs were pretty tasty with a flavourful spice mix (and some extra spiciness for the Adana kebab). The chicken and beef cubes were also marinated and seasoned well with good flavour and nice juicy meat with a slight char on the outside from the grill. 

The platter also came with grilled onions, tomatoes and hot peppers. I personally liked the grilled tomatoes, not quite the same as Persian style grilled tomatoes with the tomato cut in half and placed on the grill, but they had the char from the grill and were pretty tasty. I would skip the onions and hot peppers thought (except when eating the onions and parsley mix with the pita and kebabs - because that was delicious altogether). 

 

The sauces:  garlic sauce, babaganoush and hummus

The platter usually comes with hummus and garlic sauce, but they gave us a complimentary babaganoush to try. It had a slightly smoky flavour but the eggplant spread was really nice. The hummus was a little thinner than the hummus at Ghadir and had a slightly smokier flavour as well. The garlic sauce was delicious, but also not quite as good and addictive as the Ghadir garlic sauce. Overall, the sauces still paired well with the meats and it was really tasty! 

Large Rice $6.99

When I ordered, I wasn't too sure what would come with the platter since they only said 6 skewers, so I ordered a large rice to go with it. In hindsight, I probably don't need the large rice since there was so much food with the platter, but the rice was super savoury and flavourful with spiced with saffron and other spices to make you want to keep eating it!
