When I first visited Lithuania there were no kebab places at all but over the last few years, they have been sneaking in more and more, you can now find them in certainly the big cities and occasionally at petrol stations too. Unlike the ubiqutious kebab in Poland that often makes use of ingredients which are cheap locally like cabbage and gherkins, the ones I've tried in Lithuania are more similar to the English or German style Doners.
The best one in Vilnius in my eyes is Deniz Kebabai Kavine which can be found on Traku gatve, in the centre. The decor is what you would expact from a cheap kebab shop, a couple of tables where you can sit down and a canteen feel with a couple of boards above a counter advertising the meals, strangely there are two taps on the counter which suggest the place sells beer and Estonian Cider but I think they reside there from past times and whatever the kebab shop was before it existed because the place does not serve alcohol.
Lamb or chicken kebabs served in decent Armenian lavash bread with some nice sauce and salad, served up by a Turkish fella from Antalya. Think the price was around 8 or 10 litas. This place acts as a great after-party stuff your face and spill most of it on your shoes type place. The chips are also notorious in the nightlife circles as being truly excellent.
