The Best Döner Kebab Spots in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Yes, We Tried Them All)
Whether you’re beach-hungry, party-worn, or just craving something wrapped in warm flatbread and slathered in garlicky goodness, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has a few solid döner kebab options worth knowing about. And if you’re roaming around Guanarteme or Las Canteras, the locals (and late-night wanderers) have spoken. Here’s where to go when the döner craving hits.
🌯 Abid Döner Kebab: Friendly Vibes & Fiery Sauce
Just around the corner of Parque Santa Catalina, Abid Döner Kebab has become something of a local favourite. It’s small, simple, and seriously satisfying.
💬 Why it’s popular:
- The younger owner is warm and welcoming, especially if you’re a regular
- The food hits the spot without hitting your wallet too hard
- Bonus: the spicy sauce actually brings the heat
📍 Near Parque Santa Catalina — close enough for a post-beach, pre-guagua snack run
If you ever find something better, there’s a moral obligation to spread the word.
🇵🇰 Laiba Kebab: Great Spot by Mercado del Puerto
Just on the corner of the Mercado del Puerto, Laiba Kebab is run by a kind Pakistani crew and delivers quality with zero fuss. It’s one of those places where the service sticks in your memory almost as much as the food.
🥙 What you’ll love:
- Warm, welcoming staff who are happy to chat and serve with a smile
- Tasty, honest food that hits that post-beer sweet spot
- One local summed it up in classic German understatement: “kann man essen” — aka, totally decent
📍 Mercado del Puerto
A solid pick if you’re nearby and need something that wraps up well (literally and emotionally).
🇹🇷 Las Palmas Kebab: The Post-Party Go-To Near Bar San Remo
If your night ends with laughs and cheap cañas at Bar San Remo, odds are it ends here. Las Palmas Kebab, on Calle Guanarteme, has quietly become the go-to for hungry partygoers looking for something real, hot, and satisfying.
💬 What makes it stand out:
- The team speaks English and actually welcomes tourists
- Proper Turkish cuisine that’s less greasy, better cooked, and surprisingly gentle on the stomach (a win after a night out)
- Feels more like restaurant-quality food than the usual late-night fast-food fare
📍 Calle Guanarteme, just a stumble from Bar San Remo
One reviewer even said it was better than what they get back home in Scotland, and cheaper too. We’ll take that as high praise!
🥤 Final Wrap-Up
Here’s the breakdown:
- Go to Abid for good vibes and bold flavours.
- Try Laiba if you’re around Mercado del Puerto and want something dependable and friendly.
- Head to Las Palmas Kebab on Calle Guanarteme if you’re fresh from Bar San Remo and need something comforting, clean, and actually delicious.
Just don’t forget the garlic sauce. And maybe a napkin.
