Kebabs come in many forms. Wrapped in a puffed up naan, a warm pitta, a teardrop shaped samoon studded with black and white sesame seeds, and then stuffed with grilled meat or crisp, fried halloumi cheese. With salad. All the salad, no onion. Chilli sauce. Yoghurt sauce. Hummus. Extra pickled chillies, please. The combinations are endless.
Manchester is, of course, fantastically awash with them. But when seeking out the best, most-debated ‘babs in town, three names tend to come up again and again. And handily, they’re not far off being next door to each other.
The Rusholme Chippy, Kobeda Place and Jaffa, all on Wilmslow Road’s stately Curry Mile, are hotly contested to provide the best kebabs in the city. There are other contenders. Panicos and Turkish Delight in Chorlton. Abdul’s in Fallowfield. And then the likes of Cafe Instanbul on Bridge Street and the similarly entitled Istanbul on Bury New Road.

Despite its chain proliferation, German Doner Kebab is not to be sniffed at, Bab in the Northern Quarter and, of course, the Levenshulme Bakery are all excellent choices too, with the latter, at £4.50, turning out a bafflingly good bab for your buck.

For even the most seasoned festival dresser, choosing the right shoes can pose a seemingly impossible challenge. For festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach, one has to prioritize breathability to avoid overheating and sweat in the desert heat. But of course, skin-baring sandals are a wish death on the dust-heavy grounds of Indio Valley. And while classic sneakers like Converse Chuck Taylors or Nike Air Force 1s are a safe move for the miles of walking you’re bound to rack up throughout the weekend, you’ll have to accept that you might be matching with everyone in your direct vicinity. So, what’s the solution? The answer may lie in a decades-old company called Palladium Boots, whose Pampa boots were created in 1947 but whose roots actually go as far back as 1920 when the brand was originally founded to produced tires for the fledgling aviation industry. Since then, despite not being a household name, Palladium Boots has become a Hollywood fixture, adored by everyone from Brad Pitt to Kylie Jenner. And this past weekend at Coachella, Shawn Mendes made a convincing case that Palladium’s versatile and durable high-tops, which he paired with beige khakis and a white graphic tee, make for the perfect festival shoe.
