World’s largest kebab and fries fills dumpster-sized container and weighs 660 lbs

How many kebabs could you eat after a night out? One? Two?

Three hundred?

Well, if you’re ever in the mood to eat the weight of 110 bowling balls-worth of kebab, the place to go is definitely at King Kebab House in Campbelltown, Australia. Under the guidance of Mevlana Cifci, their team just made a 660 lb (300 kg) kebab to break the record for largest serving of doner kebab meat and chips.

The team prepped for 15 hours to make 660 pounds (300 kg) of uncooked French fries and over 1,300 lbs of uncooked chicken and beef for this monstrous meat cone.

By the time all the food was cooked down and dumped into a 100 lb (47 kg) container, topped with cheese and sauce, it was distributed to people at the Campbelltown street festival along tables over 300 ft (100 m) long.

Considering that one kebab usually weighs just under 1 lb (450 g), King Kebab House was able to feed approximately 300 people with one dish (and yes, it’s halal).

Teams of chefs worked for hours to cook the giant columns of kebab meat on the vertical rotisserie, shaving thin strips of steaming meat into silver cooking trays to await weigh-in. Other chefs stood over the flash fryer, dumping in bags after bags of yellow fries into the hot oil, and scooping them into bowls.

The meat got finished on the grill, while the fries sizzled on the hot pass, waiting to be served. They had hours of work to do by serving-time at 1 p.m. to assure the food was fresh for consumption but batched properly to break the record.

“While we were confident in our preparation, there was still some nervousness on the day. The energy in the air was electric, with hundreds of people cheering us on,” said Mevlana Cifci, the Owner/Operator of King Kebab House.

“During the attempt, I felt a mix of anticipation, focus, and pride. It wasn’t just about breaking a record — it was about creating a shared experience for everyone who joined us.”

The theme of the day was collaboration – besides the hard work from all the chefs and suppliers at King Kebab House, Civic kept thanking the crowd for coming to support his business. “Don’t be afraid to lean on the support of your community” he said, “achievements like this aren’t solo efforts — they’re the result of collective passion and teamwork.”

And the community certainly came out to support. The streets outside the restaurant were taken over by the Campbelltown street festival, and hungry partygoers kept peering into the shop to see what was cooking (and how much).

Once the food was prepared and weighed, a rope separated the crowd from the football-field length of kebab boxes being plated. Customers took their box of fries, meat, sauce, and cheese from the line, and chowed down on their record-winning kebab.

“The Campbelltown community has been incredibly generous and supportive of our business over the years, and we felt this was the perfect way to say thank you and give something back,” said Civci. “We wanted to create a moment that Campbelltown could be proud of, a moment that would unite everyone and bring recognition to our town on a global scale.”

And as Campbelltown residents know– the food tastes even better when you know the money is going to a good cause.

The event raised approximately $2,700 AUD, which was donated to the 24 Hour Fight Against Cancer Macarthur. The cause was personal for Civci, as he lost both his sister and best friend to cancer. He’s always tried to give back to the community that was so generous to his loved ones, and he viewed this opportunity as another chance to pay it forward.

“After breaking the record, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride and joy. It wasn’t just about achieving a Guinness World Records title — it was about what it symbolized: community, unity, and the celebration of our culture. Seeing the smiles on people’s faces, hearing the cheers, and witnessing the shared sense of accomplishment was truly unforgettable,” said Civci.

“If there’s one thing I want people to take away from our story, it’s the importance of community. Campbelltown has been a wonderful home for us, and this record was as much about giving back to the town as it was about achieving something extraordinary.

“It was a reminder that when people come together with a shared purpose, amazing things can happen.”
