One of Leeds' best-loved kebab houses has revealed plans to open an actual Kebab House.
The proposed accommodation offering would mean guests could stay overnight in a house fully inspired by everyone's favourite dirty takeaway.
The Kebab House is set to include a naan bread bed, lettuce shower caps, and chilli and garlic sauce lampshades.
The curtains will look like doner meat and they're calling the bathroom the 'ke-bath'.

I Am Doner is hoping to take the pop-up accommodation on the road, touring across Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle, Birmingham, Liverpool and London.
It's also looking into locations at all of the above cities and hopes to open later this year.
The Kebab House plans have landed to coincide with National Kebab Day.
Inside the accommodation, there'll be everything from doner-inspired wallpaper in the bedroom, to kebab neon art, to kebab-shaped pillows.
I Am Doner will install a condiment cabinet, with 50 condiments inside including the restaurant's signature 20 sauces.
Lynsey Benton, I am Doner’s brand manager, said: "We’re absolutely obsessed with kebabs and so are our customers. Whether it’s using over 100 high quality ingredients in our kebabs, or making our in-house sauces.
"That’s why we’re offering our loyal customers the opportunity to take their obsession to the next level by creating a new pilgrimage to kebabs in the UK!"
I Am Doner has revealed the plans to coincide with National Kebab Day.
Guests who want to be amongst the first to stay at The Kebab House can sign up via I am Doner’s website.
Lucky bookers will be contacted later this year to book in their stay for up to four people.

Vinyl-only 1970s-inspired cocktail bar coming to Leeds from team behind some of the city’s best bars
A new cocktail bar is coming to Leeds city centre.
If you know a thing or two about cocktails, or just drinks in general, then you're going to be very excited about this news.
The very talented team behind Roland's on Call Lane and The Domino Club, just to name a few, are setting their sites on a brand-new venture.
Introducing Paper Plane, an intimate new cocktail bar that will be taking over the old Casa site in the city's beautiful Grand Arcade.
Paper Plane will be inspired by the glamour of 1970s air travel and will be a vinyl-only listening bar, serving a world-inspired cocktail menu alongside a carefully curated whisky collection.
The space will be lovely and intimate, with around just 40 covers, designed to transport guests somewhere completely different from the minute they step foot through the door.
And what a location too, joining a whole host of fantastic independents in the arcade such as Alfonso's Deli, Stuzzi and Sonder.
For now, we don't know many more details about the project, but we already know it's going to be exceptional cas anything these guys do turns to gold.
Not only has Roland's been consistently one of the busiest bars on Call Lane since they opened back in 2014, but The Domino Club was recently crowned one of the best cocktail bars in the world. Now that is some accolade worth shouting about.
We'll keep you updated with Paper Plane's progress, but Roland's have stated that the site is hoping to open this coming autumn. So we really don't have long to wait.
Big name restaurant closes Leeds city centre site after seven years
Clementine Hall
A popular restaurant chain has closed permanently in Leeds city centre.
Popular pizzeria Franco Manca has closed its Leeds restaurant.
The chain was famed for its relaxed atmosphere, quick service and affordable sourdough Neapolitan pizzas that were on offer for as little as a fiver.
The chain occupied the site on the outskirts of Trinity Shopping Centre on Trinity Street, next door to Itsu and overlooking the back entrance of Marks and Spencer.
Hoardings have now gone up, signifying the site is now empty and Franco Manca has permanently closed.

This can also be seen on Google when searching for the restaurant branch.
It was announced earlier this year that a number of Franco Manca's restaurants would be closing across the country.
This was down to a reconstructing plan approved by creditors for the chain. The brand said it had been knocked by “disproportionately high” UK taxes and a lack of business rates relief for hospitality.
Marcel Khan, chief executive of parent firm Fulham Shore, said at the time: “We are grateful for the support shown by our creditors today.
“Franco Manca is a fantastic brand with a strong heritage and loyal customer base. With this agreement in place, we will put the business back on a firm footing and press ahead with strengthening our customer offer and performance.”
The Leeds brand was not included in the initial list of restaurant closing, but it seems further closures were made.
