There's a whole world of food in Birmingham, from fine dining to tasty takeaways.

And many of us feel like fast food when we're in a hurry, when we need something quick and filling or if we just can't be bothered to cook.

One popular choice on a Friday or Saturday, usually after a night out on the town, is a kebab.

The Middle Eastern meat snack, typically lamb that's been cooked on a skewer and wrapped in a flatbread with salad, is a go-to late-night choice for many.
