Hope you read this. you can tell a lot from the meat spinning on the grill. the first and last kebap places you went to have layered meat. this means actaul cuts of meat stacked on top of eachother and means higher quality meat. the other like Can Bey are just minced meat pressed together, hence the uniform color. its usually a lot cheaper, and blander tasting. thats probably why Honza said it tasted normal.
You are right the difference is that the layered meat is called Shawarma and the minced meat is called Kebab. People often confuse it and think its all kebab. Shawarma is from the arabic countries and Kebab is from Turkey originally i've been told.
05:05 it looks like real meat too, doesn't it? Otherwise the difference is clear, at 2:37 we can see the uniformed colored minced meat pretty clearly, and at 0:46 the real meat. Since I got to kebabs less than 1 a year I never noticed that, I just remembered loving Gemüse Corner Kebab and disliking Can Bey, that must have played a big role :) thanks for explaining this
Döner Kebab is in bread like sandwich, Durum is wrapped like a tortilla! Both Delicious, for me durum is better because it has low bread to meat ratio!
Have u had a Lahmacun? Its a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat, minced vegetables, and herbs including onions, garlic, tomatoes, red peppers, and parsley, flavored with spices such as chili pepper and paprika, then baked.
afaik, "Döner" refers to meat grilled on a revolving spit, traditionally served on a plate with rice and salad. the "sandwich" and "dürüm" sauce-drenched variants are the late night munchies variants famous everywhere but Turkey I think ;) (PS: while the "sandwich" is "more bread", the "dürüm" is pan-fried in fat like a crepe. so... choose your caloric devil)
Kebab is the worst Junk food. Often they put the meat again into the fridge. Often it is just a sausage, includes a lot of chemicals and bread. If it is real "meat" it still contains 60% minced meet + pulse some junk.
The gemuse corner kebab also has curry (kari) sauce, they also add roasted vegetables to the kebab, potato crisps, green & red bell pepper. You pay a little bit more (150kč) but the quality of all the ingredients is phenomenal so that alone beats all the other places. Also the line outside during those mentioned peak times clearly speaks for itself.
From a Turkish perspective, I would say Royal grill seems the best one tbf. I know the whole kebab meat in Europe is delivered from a factory whereas in Turkey that's not the case. It's all prepared by a chef of the kebab restaurant. Royal grill's kebab seems the restaurant-made, but others seems frozen factory-made
You are true. Im living in Germany and 99% of Our kebabs is cheap crushed meat with Bones 😫. When i was in Istanbul i Loved the real meat Like Adana Kebab 😋
There are sadly only few places with fresh restaurant made kebab/gyros/shawarma in Prague. One of my favourite is "Al Dimashqi" tastes unreal 😍 and every fan of Shawrma or lamb halal meat should really go for a visit.
@@Hyde_Hill I mean, it's not exactly trendy fine dining, that's for sure, but their meats are very good, with multiple choices like vertical grill, char grill and baked as well If you have recommendation, I'm all ears :)
The Gemüse Döner style Döner Kebap was introduced first in Germany (Berlin I think) in the 90s, I guess they want to link themselves to that origin. Or they are simply trying to attract german tourists maybe?
I love Indian and Nepalese food. I don't know why exactly but those tastes are just perfect for me. My spice rack is filled with herbs and spices from India, I make my own chai and I do my best to replicate various dishes from India. Sadly my family does not appreciate some of those spices like asafoetida or black stone flower but that's their problem as it means more food for me. :-D
Brings some good food memories, the best shawarma/gyro/doner that I ever had was in Dubai in the 1990's. There was a place in Al-Ghurair Center and it was run by a Greek or Armenian man, and the way he did his rolls was to put them under a sandwich grill to crispen the flat bread(Lebanese khubz). This made it super delicious, and we often went there to have some.
In Turkish we have a proverb ''Atın ölümü arpadan olsun'', in English ''Let the horse die from barley'' meaning what is the point of living if you can't eat what you love😁
1:08 It's a complete meal with all components, meat, vegetable, spice, sauce, carbohydrate side dish (often bread, but sometimes you get a box as known from Asia snack bar, but the Döner Box can contain French fries).
Ahh Mahir Kebab, especially the one on Kubanske Namesti. ❤️ My favourite so far and I live just around the corner! I need to try the one in Podoli, I have driven past it so many times and there is always a line.
Here in most of Canada a kebab usually refers to meat or meat and veggies on a stick. We usually refer to Doner Kebab as a Shawarma. They are similar but their place of origin is different.
People, almost everywhere is industrial mixture that look like meat, but it's not real meat. Only few place in Prague have real meat in ther kebab. For me best of all is Istanbul, it's now moved to Krakovska street. It's real calf meat flavor, and reasonale price. Also good one is Ali Baba on Holesovice.
I love a good kebab! I found one place in Berlin a few years ago, it was amazing!!! And that's the minimum standard. I'll have to go to Prague again and try to find one better.
Finally, a video about something what I really like! Simple, relatively cheap, good and enought to feel full knd of food. :) I hope I can try kebab and goulash and other foods in Prague, mybe with a glass of Staropramen or Pilsner beer. ;) I live in a small town, but even we have a buffet where I can buy kebab. :) Best wishes from Sásd, Southern Transdanubia, Hungary :)
Kebab is one of the main things I miss, living in the US. Side Kebab on Karlovo Náměstí is my favourite overall, but Royal Kebab at Lezarska Tram Stop and Kebab Star on Národní Třída are best to pickup before taking the night trams home after a long night of drinking. 😋🍺🌯 P.S. - You will pay the price for "extra spicy" the next day, but it is so worth it!
Janek I am from Turkey. What you are eating is not called kebab here in my country. It is called " tavuk dürüm. dürüm or like Arabic countries say shawarma. Kebap is something different. Btw if you ask me you can eat best Turkish food in Prague in Istanbul restaurant which is so close to Wencesslas square
You are right, but tavuk is only the name of the meat. Döner Kebab is more a german-turkish creation of famous Kadir Nurman in West Berlin, Germany in the 1970ies. With a lot of sauce and salad inside pide bread. In cacik sauce is no mint, like in typical turkish cusine. And its a standard that also the turkish people say "mit scharf" = acı Nowadays Döner Kebab or short only Döner is the most favourite Fast Food in Germany.
Hey honest guide! I’m visiting prague again very soon and I’m very exited! One thing I found had last time I visited prague was finding vegetarian/vegan places. Could you make an episode on these places?
Is this guy Czech? His English doesnt have any accent, he speaks Czech perfectly from what my Polish mind can figure out. Also, the kebabs look good in the video, made me hungry.
@UC2I_rEGdmTYHiZRGiAqR5Kg I also speak two languages, but when i speak you can tell straight away i am not native English speaker, i could not tell listening to him. And yeah, he sounds American, I just said no accent to avoid offending anyone haha. Thanks for answer!
OK, I know that the Turkish kebab places in your country throw around the term "kebab" for every kind of meat sandwich, but in most of the rest of the world, "kabab" has a specific meaning, and it is not a sandwich made with slices of meat cut from a vertical spit. Most people call what you are eating a "shawarma" sandwich or a "gyro," depending on the type of meat. The term "kabab" is mostly used when describing a dish that is made from either ground meat or solid chunks of meat that is cooked on a skewer over a grill. So you might want to use more precise terminology if you don't want to confuse everyone outside of central Europe.
I was living in Zizkov when I was a student, and I always, when I had some money, went to a Royal Kebab Grill (back then, it was called just Queen's Kebab or just Royal I think? It was between 2015 and 2018) and always had an amazing doner! The owners were two guys, not sure where they were from, but they were super nice and friendly, giving me discounts and putting more meat for me! :D I left Prague in 2018, and didn't come back since, but I'm just glad to see that their restraunt now is more polished and more expensive-looking kind of place! That's so nice! :D
The origin of döner comes from ottoman area where in Bursa(in Turkey) it was started to be eaten as only meat, some rice and tomato slices. We converted it into döner kebap(where it’s a plate filled with meat, tomato and rice(sometimes with salad). In the middle of 1900s döner was spreaded to countries, shawarma in arabic nations, gyros in Greece(after greeks in turkey moved back) and in EU later 60s. A turkish immigrant named Kadir Nurman gets the trademark “döner kebab” where he puts many dishes inside of kebab in the bread. This became very popular in Europe but it’s not so founded in Turkey since the kebab with many dishes is not so much how we used to eat” and same thing for Europeans as to eating turkish doner. A note that the döner kebab in Europe can be influenced by the turkish street food named Kumpir where we put dishes inside of a big and well cooked potato and put some butter & cheese in it
Turkish Arkabas.... we like really the turkish cusine. Really! Sis Et, Sac Kavurma, Ayran, Cezerie, Adana, Köfte and all the others... But Döner Kebab was found in West-Berlin, Germany by a Inventor with turkish roots. Turkish people come to Germany to eat the Real Döner Kebab. The difference is the sauce and the salad inside Döner Ekmek. Yes Kumpir is nice, but the sample was, that Customers in Germany loves fish or meat in a roll. Like Bulletenbrötchen (typical Berlin) or the famous Matjes. Also 3 (sausages) in a roll ( Nuremberg speciality) or the good old Hamburger were very goog examples. A perfect sample is also Pastirma Sandwich (Jewish, German, NY Style) or pulled pork, like a "Bratensemmel". My favourite: Adana Sis Kebab, this is original turkish and is completly different from Döner Kebab. See you next time in Istanbul for a Balik Ekmek at Haliç, with fish in bread and citron.
0:45 Sometimes it's not the right word order. The name is Gemüse Kebab Corner. It's comparable with bakeries in Germany "Konditorei Schulze Bäckerei" means "Konditorei Bäckerei Schulze"
Moast of the meat used is prepared and frozen in a factory. A good kebab meat it's locally prepared and it's much more healthy and delicious, you can spot it vert easy in the video, the frozen meat on the grill is very compact, the one prepared locally has a different texture and look...the last place had the real one.
Could you also make video on Indian restaurants in Prague ? When I was checking on Bolt Food, I found out that there are more than 40 Indian restaurants in Prague
eating kebab with a fork is a no go, you would never see something like that in germany (because the bread here holds the fillings inside better together)
I'm mesmerized at all these delicious kebabs. It's my to go food whenever I travel through Europe - it's delicious, affordable, healthy, packed with proteins, and generously served. Plus, for some reason it never really caught on in my country =(
I hear you but kebab is far from being healthy. The meat used in 90 % of the places is the absolute cheapest hyper-processed meat made of the most undesirable parts of the animal and reconstructed into a meat slab with tons of salt added.
Jánek Caan you believe that in France there was protests against Kebab shops saying they represent Islam and they should be closed! 😂 Loved the video like always, please stay always open-minded ❤️
When I as a Beliner see that one eats a Dönner with a fork, it hurts in my heart. Just for info, the Dönner Kebab that we now know throughout Europe, was invented in Berlin.
When I as a Berliner see that one eats a Döner with a fork, I know it may be a good Döner place, because they put so much inside the bread, that you can't eat it without a fork.
The general rule is - the closer you are to the Berlin - the capital city of Turkey - the better the kebabs are. I was born in the north-west of poland and throughout my life i've moved to the east - i really miss the kebabs i could eat as 15 year old.
Hey Janek and Honza, I'm really delighted to see a new video of yours, since I have been following your channel year and a half. I'm still waiting for every new video each Sunday, but somehow I get a feeling that you stopped with some topics which you started with. Meaning - main sights, history about places, special Prague gams, etc... So if I'm not talking just for myself, which I'm letting others to give a comment on this, I'd like to remind you of those core topics in order to not forget about them. :) Wish you all the best, and also waiting for new videos from you guys :D
From the german perspective, where theres a lot of kebap places, its awesome to see that theres littl kebap places that accept card. Unherad of in germany :D
Gumuse is definitely great. However, there is Istanbul kebab in the center close to the museum they have the best beef kebab, the proper kebab which you get in Turkye
Basically all Kebab places in Prague do make lamb kebabs as well. However, Czech people generally like either a mixed one or chicken only versions for some reason (me included). Perhaps the reason is that lamb dishes are not common in traditional Czech cuisine, so people are not used to the taste.
once the covid madness ends eventually, I'll definitely be back to prague, even if it's just for a weekend (after all, it's not that far from Vienna by train). I won't go for a kebab sandwich though - there's so many delicious things to eat after all! (and I'd rather have a greasy grilled sausage at ~2am with another beer ;) )
Hi Honza and Janek, I am really grateful for your reviews and also enjoy turkish food. Here are your 5 best kebabs best for tourists (gold is the one closest to the city center) (There are six Tasty Döner - I justed picked on close to the city center) Can Bey Doner Kebab, Ječná 547, 120 00 Nové Město Gemüse Corner Kebab, Podolské nábř., 147 00 Praha 4 Royal Kebab Grill, Seifertova 350, 130 00 Praha 3-Žižkov Mahir Kebab, Plzeňská 254, 155 00 Praha 5 Tasty Döner Kebab, Konecchlumského 672, 169 00 Praha 6-Břevnov
Real nice timing 👍. I was looking for this today. Tomorrow i will definitely be at couple of this places. Awesome 👏✊👍 It would be really nicer to catch you guys 😉😇😜
When you ever come to Salzburg, you must go to the small city "Laufen" in Germany. They have the best Kebab there 😉and a Video about Salzburg would be also nice 🙂
The real question is why Prague/Czech doesn’t do lamb kebab 😢 only thing I miss about London 😅 doner is actually a processed meat in pita so technically not a doner but all look great
Great tasting🙂 I´m looking forward to the burger test. My favorite burger in Prague? Go to the "El Asador" at Prague Hrncire/Seberov. A absolut great place, we are there every time, we are in Prague. Also for the sunday brunch ;-)
We had some wraps from Original Shawarma in Vodičkova and it was a banger, had it late night and it was delicious through and through. If you want a bigger meal I would suggest the 'Original Talir' option that comes with fries, sauce, coleslaw veggies and chilies at 145 crowns. Definitely one of my favourite joints!
Anthoney Bourdain ...ohman I miss him and No Reservation Series 😪 keep it up, quality content long one is called Dürüm /Yufka and with minced meat and tomato/paprika paste spread on it its called Lahmacun this even more yum when puttin Kebab meat in and run it thru the garden (like all toppings, lettuce, tomatoe ..onions and so on).
You make me want to travel to czech republic again! I'm really sad that my school has no partnership in Praha, but I'll definitely go to Warsaw or Wroclaw ! Close enough, the train is cheap enough ❤️
Hope you read this. you can tell a lot from the meat spinning on the grill. the first and last kebap places you went to have layered meat. this means actaul cuts of meat stacked on top of eachother and means higher quality meat. the other like Can Bey are just minced meat pressed together, hence the uniform color. its usually a lot cheaper, and blander tasting. thats probably why Honza said it tasted normal.
yes exactly. I've red an article saying the same thing you said 😉
100% true, when there are separate pieces of meat on the pole it tastes better, than those foam-tye uniform color cones.
Ehrenmann!
You are right the difference is that the layered meat is called Shawarma and the minced meat is called Kebab. People often confuse it and think its all kebab. Shawarma is from the arabic countries and Kebab is from Turkey originally i've been told.

Döner Kebab is in bread like sandwich, Durum is wrapped like a tortilla! Both Delicious, for me durum is better because it has low bread to meat ratio!
And it's easier to eat.
Have u had a Lahmacun? Its a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat, minced vegetables, and herbs including onions, garlic, tomatoes, red peppers, and parsley, flavored with spices such as chili pepper and paprika, then baked.
afaik, "Döner" refers to meat grilled on a revolving spit, traditionally served on a plate with rice and salad. the "sandwich" and "dürüm" sauce-drenched variants are the late night munchies variants famous everywhere but Turkey I think ;)

Kebab is the worst Junk food. Often they put the meat again into the fridge. Often it is just a sausage, includes a lot of chemicals and bread. If it is real "meat" it still contains 60% minced meet + pulse some junk.

Janek is living my best life, eating Kebabs for a living
The gemuse corner kebab also has curry (kari) sauce, they also add roasted vegetables to the kebab, potato crisps, green & red bell pepper.
You pay a little bit more (150kč) but the quality of all the ingredients is phenomenal so that alone beats all the other places.
Also the line outside during those mentioned peak times clearly speaks for itself.
From a Turkish perspective, I would say Royal grill seems the best one tbf. I know the whole kebab meat in Europe is delivered from a factory whereas in Turkey that's not the case.

There are sadly only few places with fresh restaurant made kebab/gyros/shawarma in Prague. One of my favourite is "Al Dimashqi" tastes unreal 😍 and every fan of Shawrma or lamb halal meat should really go for a visit.

something in shawarma just doesnt fit for me, like a herb or spice. is it cinnamon or something? i prefer turkish döner
1:33 i wonder why it says "Gemüse" when its a place in praque.. Gemüse is the german word for vegetables.
The Gemüse Döner style Döner Kebap was introduced first in Germany (Berlin I think) in the 90s, I guess they want to link themselves to that origin. Or they are simply trying to attract german tourists maybe?

Giros Giros in my country Montenegro my friend !
0:45 Sometimes it's not the right word order. The name is Gemüse Kebab Corner. It's comparable with bakeries in Germany "Konditorei Schulze Bäckerei" means "Konditorei Bäckerei Schulze"
Original shawarma and kebab, vodičkova 5 is definitely the best I had... and it is like the original middle eastern lebanese kebabs
Moast of the meat used is prepared and frozen in a factory. A good kebab meat it's locally prepared and it's much more healthy and delicious, you can spot it vert easy in the video, the frozen meat on the grill is very compact, the one prepared locally has a different texture and look...the last place had the real one.
Kebab is very big chálec
Could you also make video on Indian restaurants in Prague ? When I was checking on Bolt Food, I found out that there are more than 40 Indian restaurants in Prague
eating kebab with a fork is a no go, you would never see something like that in germany (because the bread here holds the fillings inside better together)
wrong, because some places in germany putting so much inside the bread, that you can't eat it without a fork.
I have never had a kebab before... Might have to find one and try it.. looks good
lol
@@waslos36 yes i know im not very cultured... I hunt most my own food. I never even had pho tell last year. I liked it
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a video experiencing the Prague Farmers market on the river !!!
Gemüse kebab is really nice. They also don’t have the foam meat, but real layered meats
I'm mesmerized at all these delicious kebabs. It's my to go food whenever I travel through Europe - it's delicious, affordable, healthy, packed with proteins, and generously served. Plus, for some reason it never really caught on in my country =(
I hear you but kebab is far from being healthy. The meat used in 90 % of the places is the absolute cheapest hyper-processed meat made of the most undesirable parts of the animal and reconstructed into a meat slab with tons of salt added.
Jánek Caan you believe that in France there was protests against Kebab shops saying they represent Islam and they should be closed! 😂
Loved the video like always, please stay always open-minded ❤️
Wait really? That's crazy whattt :0
congratulations you eat first time on restaurant kebab in czech republic. that kebabs come from?
When I as a Beliner see that one eats a Dönner with a fork, it hurts in my heart. Just for info, the Dönner Kebab that we now know throughout Europe, was invented in Berlin.
True Story Simon. Lets invite Honza and Janek to Berlin to eat Real Döner Kebab.
When I as a Berliner see that one eats a Döner with a fork, I know it may be a good Döner place, because they put so much inside the bread, that you can't eat it without a fork.
Kebabs are the best by far. Easy to eat, tastes amazing, never expensive
The general rule is - the closer you are to the Berlin - the capital city of Turkey - the better the kebabs are.
I was born in the north-west of poland and throughout my life i've moved to the east - i really miss the kebabs i could eat as 15 year old.
First adress for burgers in Prague is definitely Burger Pup Na Hubalce in Prague 6. Food is top notch for small money.
thanks. little bit of freshness after all the mess appening
Hey Janek and Honza, I'm really delighted to see a new video of yours, since I have been following your channel year and a half. I'm still waiting for every new video each Sunday, but somehow I get a feeling that you stopped with some topics which you started with. Meaning - main sights, history about places, special Prague gams, etc...
So if I'm not talking just for myself, which I'm letting others to give a comment on this, I'd like to remind you of those core topics in order to not forget about them. :)
Wish you all the best, and also waiting for new videos from you guys :D
you should try kebab pizza national dish in sweden nowadays
that sounds interesting! guess the italiens hate this as much as pineapple pizza, because they didn't invented it haha
From the german perspective, where theres a lot of kebap places, its awesome to see that theres littl kebap places that accept card. Unherad of in germany :D
Gumuse is definitely great. However, there is Istanbul kebab in the center close to the museum they have the best beef kebab, the proper kebab which you get in Turkye
Been watching a few of your vids. This is the one that earned the sub. The power of food! 😂🙌🏽
I miss the kebabs from the UK, with lemon juice and chilli sauce. Proper lamb ones.
Basically all Kebab places in Prague do make lamb kebabs as well. However, Czech people generally like either a mixed one or chicken only versions for some reason (me included). Perhaps the reason is that lamb dishes are not common in traditional Czech cuisine, so people are not used to the taste.
Gary what you mean is Shawarma...with lemon, its more arabic, jewish.
Döner Kebab is turkish, german.
@@TheIrisCZ The ones I see in Prague are not lamb - they are "teleci" - Veal
@@GaryPrague I am 100% certain that all the places I go to for kebab have "jehněčí" - lamb, not veal.
Hi!! I went to try Gemüse, it was in my opinion not a kebab, and it was not the best of the worst I had 😂
Btw you’re my favourite RUclipsr ❤️
once the covid madness ends eventually, I'll definitely be back to prague, even if it's just for a weekend (after all, it's not that far from Vienna by train). I won't go for a kebab sandwich though - there's so many delicious things to eat after all! (and I'd rather have a greasy grilled sausage at ~2am with another beer ;) )
Noor Kebab in Palmovka! The best and they have a delicious spicy sauce to kick up the flavor!
Hi Honza and Janek, I am really grateful for your reviews and also enjoy turkish food.
Here are your 5 best kebabs best for tourists (gold is the one closest to the city center)
(There are six Tasty Döner - I justed picked on close to the city center)
Can Bey Doner Kebab, Ječná 547, 120 00 Nové Město
Gemüse Corner Kebab, Podolské nábř., 147 00 Praha 4
Royal Kebab Grill, Seifertova 350, 130 00 Praha 3-Žižkov
Mahir Kebab, Plzeňská 254, 155 00 Praha 5
Tasty Döner Kebab, Konecchlumského 672, 169 00 Praha 6-Břevnov
As a Turk who worked two summers in a kebab shop (in Istanbul) I say that the last one by far was the most authentic one.
my favourite kebab places are the stand at Skalka, the stand at Tyršova in benešov and the shop in Strančice
Real nice timing 👍. I was looking for this today. Tomorrow i will definitely be at couple of this places. Awesome 👏✊👍
It would be really nicer to catch you guys 😉😇😜
I´m so hungry after this video :D
What's the name of the backpack you have, Janek?
I have watched all your videos except those that are >40mins yet ... great video!
We just tried Galata in Prague and it is amazing
'Bistro Lanka' on Mlady Horakove does the best kebabs. It's now called 'Tasty Doner Kebab like in Istanbul' (the one near the Hotel Belvedere)
I went to Gemuse Corner last year and it was great! Thank you for the tip :)
In my opinion presentaion wise the last one (Royal Kebab Grill) is the best because of the seared onions on top
I love your videos. So calming
When you ever come to Salzburg, you must go to the small city "Laufen" in Germany. They have the best Kebab there 😉and a Video about Salzburg would be also nice 🙂
The best Döner is and will always be in Berlin.
The real question is why Prague/Czech doesn’t do lamb kebab 😢 only thing I miss about London 😅 doner is actually a processed meat in pita so technically not a doner but all look great
I've been to the kebab shop that Anthony Bourdain visited in Turkey... but Czech kebabs look suuuper delicious 😋
Kebab crawl will be a great travel plan next time I can visit Prague😋
If you like to do so, go where the Döner Kebab was found. Berlin, Germany. Better price, much better quality.
Great tasting🙂 I´m looking forward to the burger test. My favorite burger in Prague? Go to the "El Asador" at Prague Hrncire/Seberov. A absolut great place, we are there every time, we are in Prague. Also for the sunday brunch ;-)
We had some wraps from Original Shawarma in Vodičkova and it was a banger, had it late night and it was delicious through and through. If you want a bigger meal I would suggest the 'Original Talir' option that comes with fries, sauce, coleslaw veggies and chilies at 145 crowns. Definitely one of my favourite joints!
must be very healthy 🤮🤮🤮
@@ProFettMoHaMett actually it was pretty much just chicken and vegetables in a wrap. Not much different from what you would've gotten in a salad.
@@BrunoMattei97 Could be but be car full. Kabab is fare away from only meat.
@@ProFettMoHaMett thanks for your concern, I'll keep that in mind lol.
@@BrunoMattei97 Google will help
Anthoney Bourdain ...ohman I miss him and No Reservation Series 😪
keep it up, quality content
long one is called Dürüm /Yufka and with minced meat and tomato/paprika paste spread on it its called Lahmacun this even more yum when puttin Kebab meat in and run it thru the garden (like all toppings, lettuce, tomatoe ..onions and so on).
You make me want to travel to czech republic again! I'm really sad that my school has no partnership in Praha, but I'll definitely go to Warsaw or Wroclaw ! Close enough, the train is cheap enough ❤️
Just enjoy Poland. It's much nicer country than Czechia.
HI, there is no map :(
Gemuse corner Kebab looks totally awesome. Will be visiting next I'm in Prague.
Hi, guys! Please, make a video about the best places to have vegetarian food in Prague. :)
I can recommend Lehká hlava, the food was great 👍
@@Seric_ Thanks!
The last one looked the best to me. But, i would have to try them all to know for sure. Hmm, maybe a visit to Prague is in my future 🤔
Adrianas restorant will always be the best place. Best place ever.
