Well, there are already two kebab joints in slt and they both seem to be doing well.
Personally I'd love a slightly cheaper, maybe even smaller, kebab.

Sometimes I feel it is maybe unbearable always be traditional Chinese girl.

..and I'd love a slightly more in Shuangjing kebab than those SLT places.

Feel free to open in Shuangjing, then enjoy maximum success.

yup. shuangjing.
plenty of foreigners here and close enough to slt for deliveries or whatever.
make'em better than the kebab republic, please. their lahmacun is just sad...
deliver. maybe do a 24h delivery.
you'll make money, im sure.
just keep the meat fresh and fed something better than what the locals use.
i hope you import ayran, yeni raki, cheese, and
maybe you put some kinds of dolma on the menu.
i love the sea-food ones but the grape leaves are fine, also.
i will probably be at least 5% of your profits!

@wef,
speaking of lily's,
they seriously lost plenty of my business when they stopped delivering 24/7.
no idea why they did this, too...
im sure they made plenty of money from the late night deliveries...
i just can not make myself have something so deliciously evil before 4am...

oh yeah? well, let me ask you this: shut up!

Lily said they were basically too tired of working 24/7 most of the time for what amounted to very few orders.
Understandable when you consider that its just her and a couple of lackeys running the place.

But yeah, major shame.
A lily's burger was the perfect way to end a night out.

hero, you should move here, buddy.
close enough to smell the smut of SLT but far enough to never see it coming.

@aier, yeah, that makes sense.
i just thought i was in the majority of foreigners with the late night orders...

I would seriously love a Turkish Kebab place nearby though.

I love it but no way is it worth going to SLT for. Wish I could just order one.

I might move to shuangjing if you name a time of day where the bridge ISN'T bumper-to-bumper.

Yeah traffic here is somehow worse than Guomao.

It's also one of the only areas in town where it can be really hard to get a cab.

Admin should open a new sister-site, like Beijing-Kids but about Shuangjing.

Each branch topic can discuss different aspects of how amazing it, and everyone that lives there is.

Magnificent with me in Shuangjing!!!

In regards to OP's original question, I'd suggest you consider another location, maybe Shuangjing.

Sanlitun is a filthy shithole filled with the absolute scum of the expat population.

I end up there sometimes on drunken nights, but I usually regret it.

I for one like that.

I think the one called kebab republic is still opening, but it's bit like a fast food type. Maybe you can take a look there. It's in the first floor of le petit building.

Yeah I agree with you, fatih.

Kebab Republic is ok, better than so so, but a bit sloppy. Something you want to grab and go home so you can chuck it on a plate and not stain your clothes.

If you can improve on what they've got going, you'll attract the crowds.
