Taylor Swift's Secret London Kebab Spot Revealed: A Swiftie's Delight

Pop icon Taylor Swift may be known for her chart-topping hits and sold-out stadium tours, but the "Anti-Hero" singer has a surprising taste for something more down-to-earth when she's in London: kebabs.

While Swifties eagerly anticipate her upcoming Wembley Stadium shows, there's a lesser-known spot in the city that holds a special place in Taylor's heart: Kentish Delight Kebab Shop. This unassuming eatery in north-west London first caught Taylor's attention back in October 2017 while filming the music video for her hit single "End Game."

It wasn't just a fleeting celebrity endorsement, either. After wrapping up the video shoot, the Grammy-winning artist reportedly treated herself to a £7.50 chicken kebab with extra chilli – because if you're going to indulge, you might as well do it properly!

Kentish Delight, smitten by their brush with pop royalty, decided to commemorate the occasion by naming a kebab in Taylor's honour. The "Swift Kebab," as it's affectionately known, is a mouthwatering mix of garlic, turmeric, paprika, and a secret ingredient that, well, you need to "calm down" if you think they're going to reveal!

Taylor's love for Kentish Delight wasn't just a one-off. The singer has been spotted visiting the shop several times since, and the owners are understandably proud, proudly displaying photos of the star inside.

Last year, TikTok user Emily Talbut shared her own pilgrimage to the famous kebab shop, confirming Taylor's frequent visits were due to her boyfriend's fondness for the place. "She was so lovely every time," Emily shared, a sentiment any true "London Boy" would be thrilled to hear.

And if you thought the story couldn't get any more tantalising, earlier this year, Taylor and her entourage placed a whopping £100 order at the shop during her first round of "Eras Tour" shows in the city.

According to Ahmed Khan, the shop's owner: "From Taylor Swift, we get many, many orders." He added with pride that he's "very happy" to be Taylor's go-to kebab spot in London.

As Swift prepares to wrap up the European leg of her record-breaking "Eras Tour" with five shows at Wembley, fans might want to make a pit stop at Kentish Delight. Who knows, you might just find yourself savouring a "Swift Kebab," imagining you're sharing a meal with the superstar herself.
