The owner of Taylor Swift’s favorite kebab shop has shed some light on the pop star’s takeaway habits. Kentish Delight in Kentish Town is known to have been one of the legend’s favorite haunts when she lived in the area with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn.
The 700 square meter kebab shop has seen a surge in fans making the pilgrimage to the takeaway, further boosted after Taylor shot a music video, End Game with Ed Sheeran and Future, there.
Ahmed Khan, 55, owner of Kentish Delight, said Taylor’s signature order was a chicken doner with garlic mayo and lots of salad.

Joe and Taylor were in a relationship for over six years, and Ahmed says he often saw them in his takeaway during this time. But when we asked about their relationship, he just raised his eyebrows and said he hadn’t seen Taylor since the breakup.
“I hope she comes in with her new boyfriend, but I haven’t seen it yet — you can only hope,” he said, referring to Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Asked if he had Taylor’s number, he laughed and declined to comment.
However, Ahmed said this was not true and explained that the order was a mistake – the real order came in under £100 and was for around 10 people, with the average large kebab being around £9.70 and a small, £7, 90.
In terms of public and media attention, Ahmed was on top, although he expressed his exhaustion at the media attention: “ITV and the BBC called me earlier today – it’s been non-stop.”
When he arrived, the business owner was asked to do TikTok interviews and sing along to Taylor’s songs — he said all he wants to do is keep his business going and doesn’t want any Swiftiemania to get in the way.
