A ‘destination’ restaurant that launched as Coventry celebrated its year as City of Culture has been crowned the top place to get a kebab in the city. Metropolis, in Earl Street, says it offers everything from coffee to cocktails and bubbles to beer.
And according to TripAdvisor it’s the top-rated restaurant serving kebabs in Coventry. With a rating of 4.5 out of 229 reviews, the city centre restaurant certainly has a lot of happy customers.
They don’t just do kebabs, with a wide range of food on offer, and their menus state that the independent business upskills unemployed young people to make the post-Covid world a fairer place. Half of their profits are donated to community projects.
One reviewer, who said his wife had a lamb kofta kebab at the restaurant said the venue does the ‘best peppercorn sauce in Coventry’ after opting for the mixed grill for his own meal. And non-meat eaters don’t have to miss out, with another reviewer saying the restaurant’s plant based kofta kebab was ‘lovely’.
Another reviewer said: “Lovely food - recommend the vegan bruschetta and vegan kofta kebab. Loved that there was a separate vegan menu and the drinks menu indicated vegan options.”
Visitors left rave reviews, with many promising to return.“Great atmosphere, relaxed and friendly and value for money,” said one.
“Warm and friendly service,” added another. “Great early evening meal, we shared chicken and lamb kebabs with perfect fries and amazing slaw. Decor is special too. We’ll be back.”
According to its website Metropolis is open Monday to Saturday from 11am to 11pm and on Sundays from 12pm to 7pm. Kitchen hours are from 12pm to 3pm and 5pm to 9pm Monday to Saturday and 12pm to 6pm on Sundays.
The restaurant was set up by Fleur Sexton and Dave Lewis, who said they wanted a venue where people are empowered through education and employment in the hospitality industry while creating a ‘must visit’ location in a stunning part of the city centre.
