The Best Kebabs in Paris
Briefly

Kebabs, a beloved street food in Paris, illustrate the growth of culinary diversity driven by migration. Originating from Turkish and Arabic traditions, this dish gained popularity post-World War II. Gyros from Anatolian Greeks and döner from Turkish immigrants led to the kebab's rise. Since the 2000s, it became an unofficial national dish, gaining traction in French rap culture. Modern kebabs adapt with flavors like French cheese and natural wine, showcasing Paris's evolving culinary landscape and a unique blend of international influences.
Paris's kebab offerings encompass a swath of styles that reflect the city's history of migration, from traditional gyros to contemporary interpretations.
First a fixture of working-class neighborhoods, the widespread popularity of kebabs in Paris began to soar in the 2000s, fueled by references in French rap music.
