About Kebab Express

In Blackburn, Kebab Express is a kebab shop at 45 Johnston St, run by an owner/chef who has been making the same kebab rolls for nearly 25 years. The chapli kebab comes plated with naan and mint chutney, and the naans are made fresh rather than frozen. Kebab rolls are made to order in front of the customer, so each one is assembled while you wait at the counter. For a heavier plate, the mince meat curry comes with two chapatis. The shop is open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

Chapli kebab is the dish reviewers raise most, with several calling it one of the best they have had, served with naan and mint chutney or other sauces. Kebab rolls come close behind, described as made to order rather than premade and microwaved, and one reviewer recommends the kebab or tikka rolls. Also mentioned are a mince meat curry with two chapatis, vegetable pakora, and fresh tandoori kebabs and naan. The owner is described as friendly and happy to chat. The praise is not universal. One reviewer found the lamb kebab roll dry and bland, and the chapli kebab heavy on onion and light on spice. Another reports being given the wrong food twice and charged extra for a can of drink, and describes a young customer being refused change on a chips order. That reviewer adds that neither worker spoke or understood English well, though the food they did receive was quite nice. Reviewers who enjoyed it often close on the same detail: the rolls are made fresh in front of them.
