Juba Kebab
Turkish Restaurant — Quartier Necker (Paris)
À propos
Juba Kebab, located in Paris's Montparnasse district, offers a Parisian take on Berlin-style kebab. The restaurant serves a €10 sandwich with spiced fries, featuring fried vegetables, crumbled cheese, and fresh parsley. The interior is somewhat cramped, with chairs colored like the German flag. While attempting to reproduce authentic Berlin kebab, the establishment falls slightly short: overly spicy sauces, prominent red cabbage, and a flavor profile not quite matching Berlin standards. The kebab is challenging to eat by hand, requiring a wooden fork.

Juba Kebab, Montparnasse
PARIS. Happy New Year and bonne année, Döner Fans! The inaugural kebab review of 2025 is brought to you from Paris, the city of lights and meaty delights, where Dr Döner spent a gluttonous weekend to chase away the January blues. Of course, this is not Dr Döner’s first report from France (who can forget the culinary charms of Freyming-Merlebach?) but it is his first review from Paris, thus making it a contender for Dr Döner’s most exotic location of 2025. Will he yet make it to farther-flung places this year? We shall see. Dr Döner is a literary man, as you well know, and his trip to the French capital followed in the footsteps of those two great titans of literature: Ernest Hemingway and Emily in Paris. After traipsing through Le Select and the Closerie des Lilas, and after haunting the Place de l’Estrapade where Emily apparently lives, I found my literary energy exhausted and was in need of a kebab. I arrived at Juba Kebab on the Rue de Vaugirard, in Montparnasse where I was staying, and got ready to slake my greasy lusts. Juba Kebab appears to have no link to the capital of South Sudan, but it does claim to serve ‘Berliner’ kebabs. The interior was quite cramped and the chairs were coloured black, yellow and red, presumably in imitation of the German flag. I ordered the Berliner sandwich deal for €10 with all the trimmings and took a seat. The kebab arrived with a mountain of chips, which were nicely dusted in spice. The kebab itself was a fair attempt at a Gemüsekebap, such as one might indeed find in Berlin, but it was not quite up to the standards of the Hauptstadt. The fried vegetables were tasty enough, and the crumbled cheese and fresh parsley were nice touches, but the meat lacked a certain je ne sais quoi and the red cabbage was a little too prominent in the mosaic of flavours. The sauces, too, were overpoweringly spicy, and had more in common with harissa than with good old Berliner scharfe Soße. The kebab was also very difficult to eat by hand, and I had to attack it with a wooden fork instead, which takes some of the fun out of it. Afterwards, I felt rather greasy and ashamed. All in all, it was not a bad kebab for what it was. But I do wish kebab shops would stop promising ‘Berlin-style’ döner if they are not going to deliver. Juba Kebab thus joins the lengthening list of kebab shops, together with Panam, Döner Haus and others, that have tried without success. Still, the year is still young. Who knows what fresh delights 2025 will bring!
