Halal Turkish Kebab Inside Valletta’s Food Market
Among the stalls of Is-Suq tal-Belt — Valletta’s restored Victorian food market on Triq il-Merkanti — Konak is the Turkish counter: döner on the spit, mixed kebab pitas and shish from the grill, Zabihah-listed halal in the middle of the capital.

The Turkish Stall in Valletta’s Food Market
Is-Suq tal-Belt is Valletta’s landmark food hall: a Victorian-era market building on Triq il-Merkanti, revived in 2018 into a food court of stalls from around the world, with a fresh-food market below and seating above. Konak Kebab House is its Turkish stall — and for halal travellers crossing the capital, one of its most useful counters.
Konak is listed on Zabihah, the international halal restaurant guide, and works the classic Turkish counter format: döner turning on the vertical spit, kebabs and shish cooked to order, served in pitas, wraps and plates with chips and salad. Market reviewers remember the mixed meat kebab in a pita with chips as a serious feed — “huge, loads of meat and very tasty.”
The format suits the building: order at the counter, take a seat anywhere in the hall, and eat in one of the most handsome food spaces in Malta — a covered market that has fed Valletta for over a century, a few streets from St John’s Co-Cathedral.
The Counter
What to Try at Konak

Mixed Meat Kebab Pita
The order market reviewers write home about: a mixed meat kebab in a pita with chips — generously filled and full of flavour.
Döner Kebab
The counter’s centrepiece: seasoned meat turning on the spit, shaved off to order into wraps, pitas and plates.
Chicken Shish
Marinated chicken skewers from the grill — the lighter counter classic, served with salad, rice or chips.
Adana Kebab
Hand-minced lamb with chilli and spices, grilled on flat skewers — the one for those who like a slow heat.
Lahmacun
Paper-thin Turkish flatbread topped with spiced mince, rolled up with salad and a squeeze of lemon.
Baklava
The traditional sweet ending at a Turkish counter: layered filo, nuts and syrup — ask what’s fresh at the stall.
