Uni Kebab wins big at the 12th annual British Kebab Awards

Uni Kebab on Burgess Road, Swaythling, picked up the award for best ‘Customer Satisfaction’ category.

It’s not the first time that the eatery has been recognised for its work, having built up a collection of national and local awards since opening 12 years ago.

It’s the fourth time Uni Kebab has won an award at the British Kebab Awards, having previously collected honours in 2018, 2019, and 2022.

Commenting on Uni Kebab’s latest award win, Isaak Gezer – who helps run the business with his parents Aziz and Emma – told the Echo: “Winning the award is a testament to the hard work the family has put into building this business from the ground up.

“Customers are at the heart of everything we do at Uni Kebab, so winning the ‘Best Customer Service’ award really means a lot.”

He added: “Our customers are more like family than anything. They're coming into our home to eat our authentic homemade dishes.”
