Kismet Kebab House

Kismet Kebab House (also trading as Kismet) is a halal Turkish-style kebab and pizza takeaway on Hanover Lane in Stranraer, the historic Wigtownshire ferry port at the head of Loch Ryan. The shop is one of a thin handful of halal options in the town and has built a reputation for late-night trade — it's among the very few shops in this end of Dumfries and Galloway that hold trading well past midnight.

The menu runs across the full Turkish-fast-food range — doner, shish, chicken and mixed kebabs, mixed grills, lamb chops, wraps, burgers, fried chicken, pizzas to order across a long topping list, pakora and starters, and a kids' meal section. The shop is registered as halal and trade is open to collection and delivery alongside a small counter for waiting customers. Reviewer feedback singles out the friendly counter staff and the kebab portion sizes.

The late-night trading window — through to around 02:00 at weekends — makes Kismet a fixture for shift workers, late ferry traffic and the night-out trade in the town.
