Hussain's kebabs have, on every occasion, filled me with the love of a thousand burning suns. The taste, texture, smell, sight and sound of a warm comforting Hussains - there is no equal to the feeling in the most saccharine of fine romance. Many a time have I, in my highly inebriated post-Bridge state, found myself wandering the cold, unfeeling Oxford streets alone and afraid, only to stumble through blurred vision into the loving caress of a chips & cheese.
It is in no uncertain terms that I declare my undying love for Hussain's kebabs from the rooftops.

This kebab van is beyond wonderful.

There have been so many low moments in which the food from this van has made all the difference.

The staff are unbelievably lovely, and their warm smiles do not go unnoticed on a cold night. The food here is also SO tasty, and generous portions are given.

Would recommend without a doubt.

This is now my absolute favourite kebab van in Oxford! Kareema and Nadia’s warm welcome and generosity are beyond words - thank you both! As for the food, I had the doner kebab with rice - kebab is excellent 👌🏻and having the option of rice as opposed to just wraps is a massive plus and not available in all vans. Portions are uncommonly generous too! If you are reading this and wondering where to grab a bite from, look no further!

Wanting to recapture the magic of student life, we decided to introduce our sons to the Oxford institution that is the kebab van! Hussain’s not only lived up to memory, the humongous portions and bighearted service surpassed expectation. We had the special and all-in kebabs with chips. The chili sauce is fantastic too!

Whether it be a exhausting day of work, a fun-filled pub night or just the 12am munchies, Hussain's has your back. Never would I have imagined finding a more personable, friendly and good-humoured staff in any restaurant, much less in a kebab van! Every time I went, I have been met with smiles, jokes and warmth, a refreshing attitude that all the staff are able to maintain even deep into the late hours of the night. And of course their food is nothing short of exceptional! Their cheesy chips with curry sauce have been my go to order since living in this city, helping me survive through many an arduous night filled with problem sheets and stress. Compared with other kebab vans their curry is richer, with strong spice flavours and a nice balanced sweetness. This pairs wonderfully with their fresh, crispy chips that provide an excellent combination of textures with their cheese. I would definitely recommend you check Hussain's out if you get the chance as your time and money could not be better spent elsewhere!
