Yes, although it's a cultural interpretation (that I share, FWIW).
Actually saying kebab is fast-food is not that wrong, even if it
sounds strange to me and others.

But the main point of fast-food is fast-meal, and actually people have
lunch in a fast food.  But you don't go to a coffee or gelateria to
have lunch, that's the main reason why ice cream places don't qualify
as fast-food.  Someone would query the database for fast-food in
order to have lunch, not to have an ice cream cone.
