Chicken Kebob

Prince Deli

There are many delis in the city and even more establishments that offer a Chicken Kebob sandwich. The number of places that offers these equals the number of different interpretation of the dish. I have been both fortunate and unfortunate enough to try some of the best and worst. Due to that fact, I am going to give a gauge for all of us who enjoy Chicken Kebob. Bereket on Houston is renown for their Turkish cuisine including some of the best tasting Kebob in NYC. But, I will say, recently I had a Chicken Kebob from Prince Deli on 43rd and 3rd avenue and it was surprisingly impressive. First, the chicken is marinated in Middle Eastern spices and char grilled on a skewer. Then instead of a pita, it is packaged in a wrap with everything on it, which is how I recommend it, (hummus, babagenush, hot sauce, salad, pickled cabbage, tabouli, tzasiki, pickles, etc. then wrapped, pressed in a sandwich press and cut and re-wrapped top on bottom. Sounds like a lot, but the passionate staff is careful to include the perfect balance of flavors and not to saturate the sandwich.
