Rainbow Kebab Pizza Burgers

Rainbow Kebab is a long-running late-night kebab and pizza shop on New Road, the strip immediately south of Gravesend railway station that turns over most of its trade after dark. The shop is unfussy — counter service with a small standing area, paint-and-board signage rather than chain branding — and the appeal is the hours: weekday service runs from mid-afternoon to one in the morning, and Friday and Saturday push through to half-past three, which puts it among the small handful of Gravesend takeaways that genuinely cover the post-club window.

The menu is the standard Turkish-kebab plus pizza-and-burger crossover that dominates the New Road strip — doner and shish kebabs, mixed grills, a long pizza list, burgers from around three pounds, plus wraps, salads, sides and a sweet section. Card payment is accepted at the counter. Reviewers tend to use Rainbow as a benchmark for the better-quality New Road kebab — the doner gets called out specifically by Tripadvisor regulars — and the shop has had to contend with the usual run of late-night licensing scrutiny from Gravesham Borough Council that comes with trading those hours. As a working-volume late-night kebab it does the job consistently.
