    This place was recommended to me, so I decided to take a visit. It was just after the busy lunch hour so I got in at the right time without a queue. I ordered a chicken kebab, with cheese and pineapple. I also grabbed a cheese chicken lollipop. The initial service was prompt and efficient. I asked the staff member to add some chilli sauce and mayonnaise over the chicken thatā€™s in the baguette. I made my way upstairs, as that is where the seating is. I took a bite and the bread was crispy, which I do like. Biting into the kebab and whilst the flavour was fine, without being anything spectacular, the temperature of it was lukewarm. The accompanied sauces and pineapple does add a nice tangyness to the kebab and the flavours do come out more. It was a shame that the kebab was not served hot. Opening up the cheese chicken lollipop from the bag, I actually laughed. I was expecting your Indian-style chicken lollipop but it was, in fact, a cutlet on a stick. Anyway, the temperature of the cutlet likewise was lukewarm, which was a real shame. The taste was ok, but didnā€™t really standout. The main issue with this however, was that there was not any taste of cheese at all. One wouldā€™ve thought a cutlet with cheese inside would have a distinct taste but there was taste of cheese whatsoever. I only ate half of the cutlet as this item did not appear to be what I asked for. Before leaving, I intended to let a staff member know that I felt that I received an item that was not as described. I didnā€™t even take issue with the fact that it wasnā€™t really a cheese chicken lollipop, but that there was no cheese taste at all. I approached the staff member and explained the issue. The staff member seemed quite defensive and passive aggressive at times. The staff member mentioned that all the ā€˜chicken lollipopsā€™ are cooked with cheese and that the cheese probably melted. But there was not even a hint of a taste of cheese, which is what I attempted to explain. This seemed to fall on deaf ears as the gentleman then said I cannot accuse them not putting cheese in (despite me not even saying that) and that it is probably just the lollipop I had. The staff member then offered to show me how they prepared it, which may have been sincere but isnā€™t particularly helpful as I raised an issue with my specific order. I stood around for a short while, waiting, but realised it didnā€™t appear that the conversation was going to be particularly productive. This was a disappointing end to the experience at Shabaan. Customer feedback is gold and the staff member should have taken my feedback on board whilst also displaying compassion and empathy. This was not on show at all. If there was indeed cheese included in the preparation of the meal, then they should be concerned that there isnā€™t a taste of cheese at all. Feedback from customer to business is extremely important but mine was not taken on at all. Instead I got a defensive staff member who continually insisted that there is nothing wrong with the ā€˜cheese chicken lollipop. The fact that there isnā€™t a taste of cheese is actually misleading the customer. The item is not as described on the menu. This was a great shame as my only other issue was the temperature of the meal, something that can be rectified quite easily. I was considering giving a 3 or 4* rating, but whilst the initial service was good the final service at the end was really poor as well as not receiving an item as described and the staff member did not search for a resolution to the issue. This i a well-rated restaurant, so I hope my incident is not a recurring theme however I find myself hesitant to return.

    Bought a special kebab for Rs135. Going by its reputation in Quatre Bornes over the years, I expected better. Tastes as good as any other kebab product in Port Louis. I admit that the chicken is well seasoned. But the sandwich in itself is not worth it at this price, even the regular version at Rs95 isn't. Update March 2023: It's taste is back and is possibly the best kebab right now. Suggestion to only get mayonnaise and a bit of green chilli. Updated from 3 stars to 4 stars. Still very pricy.

    Just go! Alright, their prices are not so affordable, but this level of quality must come at a price. And after tasting any item from their menu (from its notorious kebab, to the other ones on their menu, even Chinese dishes, Turkish pastries and other delicacies) you will have to agree that their sense of taste deserves praise. A must!

    Shabaan is always a reference on the kebab market but the quantity of food is not the same as before, sometimes you feel like eating a diet chicken salad bread instead of kebab chicken.

    We ordered 25 takeaways that include fried noodles and fried rice for office lunch . The food was really tasty and flavourful. They were very generous with the chicken/eggs and seafood portion especially the shrimps. Will definitely order again. 9/10

    Delicious food. Their Chicken Kebab is Awesome. Easily accessible and to locate. Service is alright (can improve) - specially if you go around noon to 0130pm - when it gets really busy and you may have to wait for a bit before being served.

    The Shawarma is good, but does not commend such a high price. Also, sometimes despite placing an order 30 minutes prior, the food is not ready when arriving for pickup.

    Shabaan kebab is very good. Service ok as there is always a long queue. Even if you do an early order, you have to wait to be served.

    Excellent food. Waiting time around 15mins max (for 3 persons, 3 different dish). No AC but fans (hence hot). Would visit again for the food though.
