Mr. Kebab is a halal-certified Turkish restaurant on Itaewon-ro in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, and one of the longest-standing kebab shops in the Itaewon dining district. Turkish-born chefs handle the meat preparation and grilling on-site, offering chicken, lamb, or a mixed option served as a tortilla wrap, sandwich, tombik (traditional Turkish bread), or rice box. The lamb kebab retains a distinct yet controlled gamey character, and the house sauces complement the charred meat without masking its flavor, a balance that has earned consistent praise from both first-time lamb eaters and seasoned enthusiasts. Individual kebabs fall in the 7,000 to 10,000 won range, a reasonable bracket given Itaewon's dining economy. The dondurma counter is equally iconic: Turkish-style ice cream made with natural cream and salep root produces a remarkably chewy, melt-resistant texture, and the vendor's playful hand-off performance, teasingly pulling the cone away before finally surrendering it, has become a street-side attraction in its own right. The interior resembles a brisk fast-casual setup with limited seating and rapid turnover; takeaway orders are common. Located barely a minute on foot from Itaewon Station Exit 3, the shop stays open late into the night, making it a go-to refueling stop for the neighborhood's after-dark crowd.
