about us

Two generations.
One secret recipe.
Still arguing
about garlic.

Coastal Kebabs & Cafe is a family run kebab shop and cafe on the Pacific Hwy at Kanwal. Turkish kebab heritage, meat rolled in the family's secret spice recipe the night before, cooked on a vertical spit grill and made to order while you wait. This is the long version of why it tastes the way it does.

It runs in
the blood

Coastal is run by a family that genuinely cares: about the food, about the people who walk through the door, and about getting your order right every single time. That is not a line for the wall. It is the whole reason the shop exists.

Our family brought the kebab to NSW, and the recipes and the way we look after people have been handed down ever since. Real Turkish kebab heritage, cooked the way it was taught to us. Amazing service is how we were raised, so you get it whether you order a flat white or the works.

Two generations work behind the counter. One rolls the meat in the family's secret spice recipe the night before. The other argues about how much garlic is too much. For the record: there is no such thing as too much garlic. That is the official position, and it is not up for review.

Everything is made to order on a vertical spit grill. Nothing sits under a lamp. You order, we slice, we wrap it with up to three sauces and hand it over hot. Brekky from 8am, kebabs till 9pm, seven days a week, on the Pacific Hwy at Kanwal.
