Kebab Plus brings a distinctly Syrian strand of Middle Eastern cooking to Courtenay Place, serving the Te Aro crowd from a compact central address. Diners can eat at the restaurant or use its pickup and delivery services, making the menu useful for a quick meal as well as a more generous spread at home. Homemade hummus and falafel signal the kitchen's attention to familiar staples, while the range extends well beyond a single kebab format. It is a flexible stop for lunch, dinner or a casual bite in central Wellington.
Kebabs remain an easy starting point, with chicken, lamb, mixed meat, falafel, vegetables and halloumi giving both meat eaters and vegetarians useful choices. The fillings are wrapped in house bread with salad and sauces, while the Iskander meals turn the same selection into a fuller plate with rice, salad, hummus and tzatziki. That distinction matters when choosing between something portable and something to settle in with. Vegan options are identified alongside the familiar meat and cheese combinations, so a mixed group can order from the same core menu without everyone taking the same path.
The larger dishes show more of the restaurant's Syrian character. Chicken mandi pairs seasoned chicken with Yemeni style rice, while lamb meatballs and Syrian shawarma provide two different routes into slow, savoury meat dishes. From the charcoal grill, mixed barbecue brings together skewered meats, with lamb kofta and chicken shish also available separately. Rice, salad and dips keep these plates balanced, and they make Kebab Plus as suitable for sharing across a table as it is for ordering one complete meal.
Vegetable dishes and sides add plenty of contrast to the grilled food. Falafel can be ordered as a plate or kebab, and hummus and smooth baba ganouj work naturally beside bread, rice and skewers. The sweet section stays close to the same regional identity, finishing with choices such as baklava, cheese based knafeh and pieces of Turkish delight. Together, those savoury and sweet details make the restaurant more rounded than its name first suggests, with enough range to build a meal from mezze through to dessert.
