When it comes to culinary trends in Montenegro, one dish stands out for its irresistible taste and growing popularity - kebab. This eastern delicacy has won the hearts of many, and thanks to Glov, a multi-category delivery app, kebab is now available at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere. Given that today is World Kebab Day, this is the perfect opportunity to look back at how much the people of Montenegro have come to love this tempting type of food.

Through the Glovo application, over the past 12 months, kebab orders in our country have increased by an impressive 29%. A special record was achieved in March of this year, when Glovo delivered the largest number of kebabs in Montenegro. This data clearly indicates the growing love of Montenegrin gourmands for this delicious food that has its roots in oriental cuisines.

Spring turned out to be the time of the year when kebab is enjoyed the most. May is the month when this specialty is in particular demand, which perhaps speaks to how the warmer weather and longer days increase the appetite for this type of food. It is interesting that the time of day when ordering also plays a significant role. The largest number of kebab orders is recorded at 18 p.m., when 12% of average daily orders include kebabs. Bearing in mind that 35% of orders are made between 17 and 19 p.m., it can be concluded that this dish is most often chosen as an evening meal.

Sunday is the day when most users decide to treat themselves to a kebab, which accounts for 16% of weekly orders. This information is a kind of indicator that the weekend is perfect for enjoying this dish. The biggest kebab lover in Montenegro comes from Podgorica, with an incredible 143 orders in the past year, which is an average of almost three kebabs a week! Another interesting piece of information relates to the fact that the most expensive kebab order was from Budva, amounting to 124 euros.

Podgorica is the undisputed leader when it comes to kebab orders, followed by Budva and Tivat, which speaks of the spread of popularity of this dish along the Montenegrin coast and inland.
