The best kebab in Hauts-de-France is in St-André-lez-Lille according to the ranking of the site kebab-frites.com. He even climbs on the second step of the restaurant podium in France. We sought the opinion of its customers.
Upon entering around noon, at Pacha, place of General Leclerc in Saint-André-lez-Lille, a small tension is palpable among the team of Daniel Nouri, the boss. We are in full fire, everyone is at their post, everything is organized. And that in no way prevents the pleasant and unfussy welcome of Julien, one of his three sons, now in the kitchen.

Customers queuing in front of the colored screens displaying the menus are called to the checkout in turn to place their order. It goes quickly, and for the short wait there is, it is also possible to wait for the delayed retransmission of the PSG – Real Madrid football match, won 1-0 by Paris, the day before our visit.
Two rooms, two atmospheres… If the first is used more by those who buy “to take away”, the second room located after the kitchen, at the back of the restaurant, is today more occupied by people having lunch on site.
Among them, there are Tiffanie and Kamel, two colleagues from Roubaix who came expressly during their lunch break (17 minutes by car) to discover the best kebab in Hauts-de-France. “We had a kebab not too long ago and Kamel knew that the best was here, so we came“, explains Tiffanie.

There is also Julie and Thomas, a couple each of whom is quite a kebab “fan” and who eats at least one, once a month. “Our favorite is the Bosphore, rue Masséna in Lille“, explains Julie who appreciates the meat”not greasy“of the kebab with white sauce that she is tasting.
If the other customers also seem satisfied, Kamel our Roubaisien is particularly demanding. He regrets the lack of a personal touch in his kebab: “cIt’s not like El Pacha at La Madeleine where there is a particular spice in each kebab. For the best kebab in the area, I would have liked a little more“.

Rated by its customers, on the site kebab-frites.com, who sends, after the fact, anonymous investigators to check the opinions on the spot, the Pasha of Saint-André has filled up with favorable comments in terms of reception, hygiene, freshness, quality of raw vegetables, sauces, meats, fries , bread and value for money. Out of 158 reviews, on each of these criteria, the Pacha obtains an average of 5 stars out of 6 possible.
Maxime, a former Parisian now living in the neighborhood where Le Pacha is located, particularly appreciates the attention given to vegetables. “In Paris, they almost only put meat, there it is better! It’s a war machine here“, he comments with a smirk about the organization and the speed of the cooks.

A kebab menu, fries, sauce, drink costs 7 euros here. This best kebab in Hauts-de-France is also the second in France according to the kebab-frites.com website.
In third place in the ranking is another northern restaurant: L’Unique. A small disappointment certainly for the Turkish family which manages the three Lille addresses, after having been crowned number one in France 6 times.
