My first run-in with Kebab Factory had been many years ago when after a hard day's work, my friend and I went there to grab some grub. He knew it well, I did not. And, much to my dismay, I was pleasantly shocked at how simply amazing it was. The portions were massive, the food was steamy hot, delicious, and the venue, albeit small, was satisfyingly accommodating.
Many years have passed since that day, and it seems that Kebab Factory's fame has only grown. They are rated highly on all delivery platforms, never faltering in quality. When I see their food trucks driven out to conventions and other events, they always draw a long line of hungry locals. Kebab Factory is always a step above the competition, and I'm yet to personally meet anyone who says they don't enjoy their food or anyone who hasn't heard of the place in general. I can't pinpoint the exact moment of when and how, but I'm certain that Kebab Factory has captured the hearts and stomachs of Riga residents.
Kebab Factory is a must-visit if you find yourself traveling along Brīvības street in the direction of the Jugla district. Or, if traveling outside of Riga, make sure to check their other restaurants in places like Sigulda or Ādaži.
