It’s National Kebab Day, which means it’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a Friday night treat.
You can find kebab shops on most high streets in Greater Manchester, but if you’re looking for something more refined than a late-night snack before your Uber ride home, there are also loads of great authentic Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurants in and around the city.
