Cob Shop

The Cob Shop on Narborough Road takes its name from the East Midlands term for a bread roll — a nod to its roots in the sandwich and kebab trade. The menu spans doner and shish kebabs, burgers, chicken dishes, and loaded cobs with the kind of fast, informal service suited to a busy pedestrian thoroughfare. Narborough Road's extraordinary cultural variety — home to shopkeepers from more than 20 countries — makes it one of the city's most competitive food streets, and the Cob Shop has held its own with a straightforward menu and accessible pricing.
