What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ranya Kebab is lauded for its delicious and fresh Middle Eastern fare, particularly its shawarma and kebabs, served in generous portions at excellent prices. Customers frequently praise the friendly and quick service. While generally well-received, some diners have noted that the fries can be overly sauced.
"My wife and I enjoyed our falafel and chicken shawarmas. They were delicious! Mine even had fries inside."
Samuel Carrara
"We were warmly welcomed and didn't feel rushed to make a choice.
We got the Ranya platti and the Pitu Platti. Both were fabulous and generous with their meat. I loved the pita bread with lamb plate. They grilled the pita so it was crisp when you bite into it. Tastes a bit like thin pizza crust. Sooo good.
And I loved the creamy garlic sauce and hot sauce on my fries. Perfect amount. Not drowning in it, just enough.
It was the perfect ending to our trip around the island.
I have to say this kebab place is even better than the places we have at home in the US.
I hope this establishment stays and continues to do well. Really solid, delicious food and affordable for Iceland prices."
Pam Nguyen
"We were a group of 9 and had a wide selection of the menu. All dishes were great and portions were quite big with a large amount of meat in them.
The fries was a little disappointment. I didn't like the sauce on them and the were pre-drowned in the sauce from the chef.
Don't let the big Víking sign fool you on the house. There is no beer sold there."
