Punjab Kebab

Punjab Kebab is a beloved kebab restaurant (kebab­ravintola) located on Kirkkokatu in the heart of Tampere, with over three decades of serving up delicious and satisfying kebab cuisine to locals and visitors alike. Since opening in 1987, this family-run eatery has built a loyal following with its generous portions, bold flavours and tradition of hospitality that makes every guest feel like part of the family. Punjab Kebab’s menu showcases classic Middle Eastern and South Asian kebab (kebab) dishes with hearty accompaniments and a variety of ways to enjoy grilled and seasoned meats.

The star of the menu is undoubtedly their kebab ranskalaisilla (kebab with french fries) and pitakebab (pita kebab) — tender, seasoned kebabliha (kebab meat) nestled in freshly baked pitaleipä (pita bread) or served on top of crisp ranskalaiset (french fries) with fresh salaatti (salad) and house-made kastike (sauce). Punjab Kebab also serves popular variations like kebab salaatilla (kebab with salad), kebab riisillä (kebab with rice) and indulgent rulla kebab (kebab wrap) with a mix of vegetables wrapped inside warm flatbread. For those seeking more texture, kebab iskender (kebab Iskender) comes with a mix of riisi (rice), leipä (bread), pippurijalapeno (pepper jalapeño) and a blend of sauces, creating a full and flavour-packed plate.

Punjab Kebab doesn’t stop at kebabs — the menu includes tender kanakebab pitalla (chicken kebab in pita) and kanarulla (chicken wrap) for those who prefer poultry, along with satisfying sides like ranskalaiset (fries), hot wings (mausteiset siivet) and crisp falafel pitaleivällä (falafel in pita) suitable for vegetarian diners. Dip options such as valkosipulidippi (garlic dip) and aurajuustodippi (blue cheese dip) add extra depth to every bite. With vibrant flavours, generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere, Punjab Kebab remains a go-to spot for casual and crave-worthy kebab fare in Tampere.
