I'm a regular visitor on my many nights out. Like all other comments, this is by far the nicest tastiest kebabs around Dublin, possibly even Ireland! They are much healthier than other kebabs too. Writing this comment now is actually making me quite hungry for their Chicken Shish Kebab now:)

This Dublin institution doesn't need anymore positive reviews, and its always too crowded, but I'm moved to comment anyway by my love for their chicken donner. This is the only kebab place in town that is just as delicious sober as otherwise. The staff have always been nice to me, and happy to give extra garlic sauce. It is more expensive than other kebab places, but entirely worth it - the ingredients always taste nice and fresh. Love it!

Alwasy excellent. The fresh veg makes the kebab. I could eat their red cabbage all day. For a carnivore I love the veggie kebab too. falafel would be a nice addition though. Only downside is that they dont really get a chance to take on board any serving requests like "feckloads more red cabbage and a pickled chili le do thoil" but I cant complain! If only beer was available!

We went tonight for the first time sober, it still tastes as good as after a few beverages. The woman likes the chicken shish but I'm a barg man myself. Always ask them to throw on a bit of extra red cabbage and green chilis and your sorted! The lunchtime deal is very good but we're never up that early. If shes lucky she'll get back to Zaytoon for the oul anniversary ;)

I wanted to try here for ages and finally got to go on Wednesday night. The kebabs are quite nice and huge. The meat isnt great but the sauces and the veg filling (especially the cabbage) are really nice. Reasonable price for a massive amount of food.

Hadn’t tried Persian cuisine before so this was a first. Had a delicious vegetable kebab – lots of lovely freshly roasted vegetables on a bed of mixed leaves with a tasty dressing. The portion was generous and very filling, just the thing to keep you going on an active sightseeing day. It wasn’t that busy as we were quite early for lunch, but customers began to trickle in as we left. It seems to appeal to all ages, and the value is good, particularly the lunchtime offers.

Called in here for a lunchtime snack whilst on a ‘discover Dublin’ day. They weren’t quite ready for customers but allowed us to sit down while they got things ready. They have some good lunch meal deals on so I had the chicken kebab with side salad, chips and a soft drink. This is not a place you’d go to for a special meal, but is ideal for a quick bite to eat in the middle of a busy day. It’s good to see food being prepared in front of customers. We didn’t have to wait too long but the guy behind the counter could have been a bit more friendly – more or less barked out that our order was ready. It seemed to be his general demeanour as he was like that with everyone. Can't rate the service here because customers collect their meals at the counter and take it to the tables themselves.The meal was very tasty and good value for two people, but what a pity the tables weren’t cleaned properly. We moved from one table before we had our meal because it was so sticky and the one we moved to wasn’t much better. That’s easily remedied with a basin of hot soapy water and a clean cloth – management please take note!

6 of us arrived here at 2 in the morning... Speedy service. Knives & forks are a must for this food & its great that they are provided. The garlic sauce is very garlicy & the chilli sauce is HOT! Chips are chips.. No complaints from our table anyway. A staple for the after hours reveller! We'll be back!

The best kebabs in Dublin - especially after a night on the tiles!!! Myself and 4 friends casually strolled in here at about 4am 2 weeks ago on a saturday night!! Quick, speedy, delicious with lots of tables! Though them guy behind the counter could be a bit more generous with his napkin distribution!! 5 ladies + pretty dresses + lots of vino + massive kebabs with extra garlic sauce requires a napkin mountain!!!! Go here for the best night grub in Dublin....!

I think every late-night pub drinker in Dublin holds a special place in his heart for Zaytoons. This is no ordinary afterhour kebab haunt. It is a legitimate restaurant with ridiculously tasty food (and yes it remains tasty when I'm not drunk!) for only ten or twelve euro - you can share as well. Ok let's face it, we know the audience they target. It's not for a romantic dinner for two, however, if that girl you're dating is now a little tipsy, I think this joint WOULD impress her any time after twelve. I have gone here during the day for lunch and have never been let down. The best kebab in Dublin is found here.

Arrived in Dublin really late and starving, found Zaytoon and had a really good Kebab... haven't given it full stars because it's not exactly fine dining but having said that I doubt you'd get better food at the hour I was searching.

THE best kebabs in dublin. Haven't eaten here in over a year and I forgot how good they taste. So fresh, bread is light and the garlic sauce is just so good. Would be better if it had a more restaurant feel but it is fast food really. i wont be leaving it a whole year to go back this time!

It is a great place to go the day after a big night. I would say this place does the best kebab in Dublin. I had the lamb kebab and with chips and drink for only €10.50, great value and very filling. The staff are friendly, atmosphere is very basic but you only come here for a quick bite.

There aren't many decent places open for food in Dublin after 10pm but Zaytoon is one of them and it is a hidden gem. Their food is fresh, tastey, plentiful, and the service friendly and prompt. The place is a glorified fast food joint but it's clean and furnished with tasteful rustic wooden tables & chairs, and safe at 1am if you're looking for an after gig bite of real food. Everything is made fresh no matter what the hour, from the salads and hummus to the kebabs, and vegitarians will do nicely here, too.

Well if i ever met somebody who didnt like this place...i would be in shock. I dine here at least once a week religiously...sometimes twice....on the rare occasion...3 times in the one week. The staff always greet me with a smile, never waiting too long for the food and the atmosphere is always great. I could fault the place at all...well maybe the toilets could do with a spruce up but thats it. Ill be back...probably tonight ! :)

This is not just a kebab after a night out sort of venue, it is by the best kebab I have ever had in Dublin. I will happily eat here during the day but it is even more welcoming after a few beers. The chicken shish would be my recommendation, proper chicken breast pieces with whatever toppings you wish. the mixed kebabs are often the slivers of meat but I rarely go for these. It's not a place for atmosphere but the service from the staff has always been brilliant. Overall, it;s an excellent place and I would highly recommend it after a night out.

Very basic, small, overpriced kebabs. The only decent thing here is the homebaked bread. If you want to enjoy the real thing head for the Clanbassil St shops. Zaytoon was a lot better and more authentic 7 or 8 years ago...

All I can say about this place is yum yum yum!! The quality is very consistent, I've eaten here on a night out after a few drinks and sober as a judge and the food is equally as incredible. The salads in the kebabs are very fresh and this place is always clean. I love the chicken shish kebab : )

Great place to go before heading home on a night out! Better quality than your average late night take away. The food is both tasty and fresh .I'v had the Chicken-Shish-Kebab whenever I'v eaten here and would recommend it, the sauce is delicious. Strictly a no frills dining experience!

Went here after a late night on the tiles for some soakage recently. We got the platter for two and I have to say I think it was expensive for what we got. We got a selection of chicken/ lamb on flat bread with hummus and tzaiki and some salad on the side. Chips had to be ordered as extra. The quality of the food was good however for €22 you'd like a few chips thrown in.

I dropped in for a pre-gig meal during the week and it lived up to its usual excellent quick service. I especially love the fish kebab meal here, amazing flavour and taste.Prices seem to sneak up each time I revisit which is a pity as its renowned for great value no-nonsense quick meal. Staff can seem somewhat gruff at times but I think this is on account of their command of english.

I have been falling in and out of this place for years and I love their Barg kebab but I must say that their quality has destinctly gotten worse over the last six months. I used to enjoyed all parts of their menu, donar, kubidesh etc., nut now I even have trouble with their barg's. Hope they remedy this soon or someplace else opens up soon.

I passed by so many times, but as Im not into Kebabs I never stopped, but last week I did go in with some friends, and was pleasently suprised: had a Chicken Shish meal, served in a freshly baked bread, chips, vegs. Chicken was barbecued and tasted amazing! and the side hummous was delicious!

Decided to try Zaytoon after a great night at dylan moran and don't regret it! A good end to a great night! I've never had a kebab before but the lamb donner meal was not only great value but it was delicious! The flat bread was just perfect and the lamb was lovely! I'd really recommend it to anyone for a pre or after theatre dinner or for that late night snack! Fantastic place, really recommend it!

Grabbed a quick bite to eat here before a show and I have to say that I prefer Zaytoon on Camden St. The kebabs are delicious there's no denying that, not mad about their hummous though, it's very bland and has no lemon zing about it. Service was fast but when he asked what drink I wanted I said 'Water' and he point blank ignored me and lobbed out a can of coke. We were happily eating our kebabs when a group of 5 young thugs came in and started harrassing the customers. This went on for about 5 mins before we finished and quickly left, despite having at least 5 burly men working there they did nothing about this which I thought was poor.

Greak kebabs, I had my first one while sober last week. It was even better than the ones I had previously at the end of the night! The place is no frills with a pretty basic interior, but as anyone knows who has been there before, you dont go for the dining experience, you go for a damn good kebab!

A great place to eat real kebabs! A nice casual eatery that is good for dinner or a quick bite.

Zaytoon is a great spot. I have been going to the one in Temple Bar for years and was delighted when the new branch opened on Camden Street. It's the only kebab place I know that I wouldn't feel bad about going to for lunch. The service is fast and friendly and the food is delicious. My only criticism is that at drunken 3 o' clock in the morning the kebabs aren't quite dirty and messy enough to hit the spot.

I have been eating here couple of times before and really enjoyed a kebab they were selling. Yesterday went there for my favourite mixte kebab(chicken and lamb). Lamb was quite fatt(much more than usually) but the shock came when saw and tasted chicken. I could say there was 80 % of chicken skin and 20 % of meat. Absolutely terrible do not know where do they buy it from but it seems like completely different and probably a lot cheaper source. I recommend to avoid this place. I have to say that really use to love this place but since yesterday there is no way I will go there again.

For fast food that feels a bit healthier than the average this place hits the spot. There is sometimes a little wait for food and when its busy you sometimes have to share a table with others. However, the food is tasty and its a reasonable price. Can be a bit messy to eat but that just adds to the fun of it!

I ate here with an iranian freind of mine last week for lunch, I had eaten here after the pub once or twice in the past and remembered it as being good. The food stands up to the sober test, its cheap and cheerful but also very tasty and a good wholesome offering for what is essentially fast food. A much better option that burgers and the like, I had the chicken sheesh meal with garlic, under a tenner and left with a full stomach.

Although you may not think a kebab place is traditional good for veggie food, there are a few places that are. This is not one of them. They did not have a good veggie selection and the kebab consisted of some grilled mushrooms and peppers. There was no falafel or any substancial meat substatute. It wasn't really value for money either... : (

This place has seen better times in the past. Have visited Zaytoon numerous times last year and in 2007 and it was a good place for Kebab. Was now yesterday with a friend there. We had chicken kebab and lamb kebab. And it seems that they are trying to save some costs by reducing the quality of the meat - mine was full with gristle - an unpleasent encounter. Nethertheless the place was packed. Was in the past a good place to get some quick food. Really casual and service non existing as you order the food at the tilt and you have to pick it up later as well yourself.

Belted in here after a pub crawl along Temple Bar but while we both were still relatively sober. Both had the mixed shish with chips. Very tasty. Service very efficient and impressed at how clean the place was considering its a kebab shop in TB on a Saturday night! Only criticism is the doors being permanently wedged open. Even in summer its too cold!

One of the slightly pricier post-night out joints, but so good. Kebabs are pretty amazing. I love the layout of the place. At 2am you literally have people crawling over each other. It's just THE place to be after the Turk's Head or wherever. I, unlike all of the other reviewers here, have actually been here sober several times. It's still one of the better kebab places but to be honest I prefer the one at Harcourt because they put the beetroot on it...

Admittedly I've never eaten here sober. But it tastes great at 2am!! Staff are remarkably tolerant of all the drunken louts. Kebabs are great - I agree that the chips could be improved on though.

I challenge anyone to fine a better kebab in Dublin. Chips could be better though. The staff are always friendly and restaurant it always clean...even at 2 in the morning. I'd be willing to bet it's better for you than any of the burger places nearby too!

I have visted Zaytoon numerous occasions... both after a night out and on a Saturday afternoon..... I couldnt fault it any of these times. Although its not 'fine-dining' its well worth it for the food. The chicken kebab is definitely the best Ive tasted... Its one of those things that although the stomach is full you just want to keep on eating. I would recommend a visit to anyone who likes a good kebab - anytime of the day or night!!

Best Kebab in Dublin, bar some fancy kebab joints, if they exist. Probably serves most of Dublins nightlife at some stage in their lives. Its quite nice during the day which says a lot for the place.

i have found it hard to find good kebabs around Ireland. So i finally tried zaytoon and have to say it is the best kebab that i personally have been able to find in town. The food is good there is a nice friendly service and you can watch how your food is prepared which i found very interesting. I would recommend this restaurant if you have like kebabs or if you want to try one.

Fantastic, the chicken kebab is just lovely. Unlike most other people, Ii seem to only have come to this place for lunch sober (as opposed to at 3am). The food is good quality and there is plenty of seating. I love the flatbread that the kebab comes on.

If you're a bit of a kebab freak, this is the place for you. Really excellent hearty kebabs made with the freshest bread, cooked right in front of you. This really is the best place in Dublin for a great-tasting, freshly prepared kebab. The portions are very generous too. Tip - if you decide to eat your kebab rolled up with your hands, be sure and get PLENTY of napkins. Things can get very messy very quickly!!

The Bible says that on the 7th day God rested.....this is false. On the 7th day, god invented a dish so mouth wateringly delishous and so phenomonaly tempting, that in the year 2008ad the Chicken Shish Kebab has replaced britney spears and heidi klum as being the most dreamt about thing in a young mans sleep. No longer can a restuarant be visited with out being rated on a toon scale of 1-10. Chicken can no longer be eaten when its not in a shich kebab. ledged has it that zaytoon is the best aphrodisiac available, future children may have zaytoon as a middle name.....dont miss out on this spot.......my best friend

I have been to Zaytoon on a number of occasions, and not just after many pints on a Friday night! I have always found the food to be good quality, although the service can sometimes be impersonal, they are always willing to help if asked and will accommodate most requests. If you are going in after a night out, be prepared to wait as you would with most late night food places but I would recommend this place over any other for a bit of 'soakage' as well as for a bite for lunch, but be aware if eating on your lunch break...........the garlic sauce is very moreish and very garlicy!!

You'll probably hear about this place from any kebab loving person. Unlike other cheap kebab places, this place while still offering relatively cheap kebabs for the quality, offers real meat. I mean instead of tasting only the sauce, you can actually taste the meat. Overall a good place to go if you're in for some meat!

Zaytoon is probably famous among the arabic community as it is recommended by alot of my arabian friends. Overall I think it's a not bad place to go, their kebabs are defo better than the ones those fast food places offer. Service can be improved. Pricing is good compared to other kebab places, taken into account of the difference in food quality. A good place to go if you're in for some meat!

They didn't have what I originally ordered, which was a bad start, so after another glance through the menu I went with a chicken kebab with chips. Service was quick enough although the person who served me seemed almost unhappy to have to take your order. The kebab itself was ok, chicken didn't seem that warm and there was a very bland tomato sauce on it. The bread was nice but was a nightmare to try to cut through even though the salad had soaked half of it. The chips were nothing to write home about. Its a nice place to hang out and has a good location but don't think I'll be running back anytime soon.

Went there last night with 3 other people and was very impressed. I'd heard a lot of good things about this place and you certainly get a lot for your money. It's a fun place to eat if you're in a hurry or just to hang out at with friends for a chat and a bite to eat if you're in town. I had the vegetable kebab and with extra hummous and the vegetables (mushroom, pepper, onion, tomato) had a really nice chargrilled flavour to them and the sauces were nice - not too much, just enough. The bread was also warm and fluffy. Would definitely go there again!

best kebab in town, whether you're drunk or sober. Only downfall is they don't do cheese. I know it's not very Persian but i can't be the only drunk in Dublin who likes cheese on his doner! Or maybe i am. Anyway homemade hummus is gorgeous and the staff are always good craic.

If you feel the need for this kind of food (usually after a feed of pints) then this place is the best I have come across. The kebabs are so tasty, fresh and good, you don't feel bad about eating them until the garlic is still in your breath the next day. Definitely worth it at the time though. I have walked a good distance at night to get to one of these.

I'm afraid to say I'm not fond of this place. The kebabs are nice. Their Shisk is very good. The problem is the service is rude, bordering on unpleasant. I have gone here for lunch on several occasions. If you ask for any level of service such as changing the can of mineral you ordered for another, you are greeted with at best, a grunt. It's a pity as the food is nice but rudeness is unappetising.

Tried my first kebab in here only a few months ago and i wasn't disappoined. I had the Chicken shish kebab and i enjoyed. You can see everything being cooked in front of you so not only does everything taste fresh, you know for a fact that it definitely is fresh. Also tried the chicken doner on a separate occasion and i prefer the doner to the shish. The meals are really good value, all come with chips and a can. The garlic sauce is also delish. This place is quick, easy and reliable!

One of my favourite places to go for a meal in Dublin. Chiken shish kebab is just delicious, but I've tried almost everything from the menu and no disappointment there. :) I recommend it to anyone.

I had the pleasure of experiencing Zaytoon at 3am on Sunday night...probably not the best time to taste its Kebabs...However I believe one only every goes to a kebab joint when very inebriated. I was blessed among men that night and it went down a treat with them, however I thought it was just ok & no better than any other kebab spot in tow. I was told that it is more than likely a man thing to crave meat after beer!!! All in all a good feed with plenty of sitting room to avoid the messy job of eating standing up!!!

Surprisingly very good, I’d say it’s been maybe 2 years since I’ve eaten a 1/4 pounder but I mean there was not much else on the menu as I’m not a kebab person (I know - apparently I’m a small minority) but I certainly had the best 1/4 pounder I’ve ever had. I got the meal which is great value at €7.50- definitely a meal worth while!!!!!!!

Best fast food option in Temple bar. All the meal deals are €10-11, that's for kebab, chips and a drink. Considering you probably pay only a euro or two less for much poorer quality late night junk food, I think it's very good value. The queues at peak times aren't a big deal because service is very fast.

If you haven't been to Zaytoon, especially during the lively post pub hours, you should definitely go. I love the food, but it is a bit expensive for lunch. The value is more in line with late night/possibly drunken food ordering when you are willing to pay whatever they ask for such good food. The fresh naan bread they make is great and its best to eat in if you want to enjoy their sauces because it can get a little soggy if you take the food to go. I will be there again.

Before coming here, my friends have told me that this is the ONLY place to get a kebab. And so this is still the place I go--haven't gone any other place. And I don't think I will since the food is always great! Granted, over the past year, it seems the kebabs have gotten a bit smaller--but the quality is still great. The service is efficient and the staff is very patient (especially after bar hours/wee hours of the morning). the chips could use a little work but when you're there for a kebab (chicken shish or my fave, lamb), you'll be satisfied. I also like the fact that there's security there at nights =) definitely a place to eat lunch/quick supper/late night snack =)

Very honest place to be in. Good meat! Service is not the best but the great chips (which is only second to nosh) make up for it. Thumbs up to Zaytoon, don't need to go to a chain fast food place after late night booze (the price is nearly the same). Also, fab for an informal lunch/early dinner. Will be your regular customer. The best dish is the chollo kabab which is not included in this e-menu.

It was my first time here, was looking forward to it as I had heard so much about it and I wasn't disappointed. It was great for a quick bite to eat on a night out. The food was lovely and fresh and there is a bit of a buzz around the place.

Eye catching diner!The casual ambience of this diner from passing simply got my attention.I pounce on the opportunity when friends came to visit.Although its a buffet style as you order and pay at the till.Food is extremely fresh with a fairly wide selection of lamb and fish for kebab. Food cant get any fresher too!!The houmous they whip up is simply sensational and leaves you satiated!!

If you want a kebab, this is the place to go. Good quality, they bake their own bread, offer the option of proper shish style chunks of meat on a skewer and not just the typical donor style. They make their own houmous, and decent salad and sauces. Service is always quick. Definitely one of the better "cheap and cheerful" places in Dublin's city centre!

I agree with the previous reviewer about the classification of Zaytoon. It doesn't pretend to be anything more than a kebab restaurant and certainly doesn't aspire to high class cuisine but the food is great and freshly prepared. The chicken shish kebab is excellent. It takes a little longer than everything else as they cook each from scratch. The decor and surroundings aren't great and the staff can be a bit peremptory but this place is more about food than anything else. The price is really reasonable as well.

Can you judge a movie by the kind? I mean a comedy can be a masterpiece as much as a serious movie can be crap. Well, Zaytoon is not actually a 5 stars restaurant, but it is for sure a first star Kebab place, the food is great, and all the people that I have been taking there are just as impressed. Italians, Americans, Spanish, Irish...they just love it!

A friend of mine introduced me to this place about 7 years ago and I've been eating there regularly since. While I wouldn't try everything on the menu (what sort of meat comes in the shape of an upside down triangle?), the chicken shish kebabs are great, and not just after a truck-load of pints. Go for the meal for €9.70 for the kebab, chips and drink. Can't beat it.

I've eaten here many a time, and will continue to. This seems to be the favorite place for an after pub meal, but can also impress without drinking for hours beforehand. The kebabs are big, and tasty, and never take very long to come out. The atmosphere is somewhat lacking, but really you're only there to eat and then leave and carry on with the evening... It's a great kebab shop.

Great food, affordable price, great for late night snack after having a few pints. Go there quite regularly, I usually order the veggie kebab, find the pieces are usually too big and it tends to spill everywhere when I try to eat it, but thats half the fun aint it? I'd definitely go back there again.

Would consider myself a bit of a kebab connoisseur and this is by far the best in Dublin. The bread is excellent and the salad is fresh. Its perfect drinking food and unlike most kebabs it is just as good sober! My only negative is that their chips are always overdone (then again there are not famous for their chips).

I live across the road from Zaytoon so when ever I'm feeling lazy this place is a real treat, the food is consistently excellent. The service is prompt, the value for money is excellent and there is good atmosphere. For €10.50 what more could you ask for only a freshly prepared\excellent tasting kebab\chips and drink.

A really great all rounder, bread is delicious. Staff are great. Go every week and you'll see the same faces, all happily drunk and full, also I've never seen trouble in here, everyone is to desperate to be fed, also a fear of not being let in next time. All kebabs are really good. Great value also.

Kebabs here are really authentic with the breads cooked in a type of clay oven. The meals are quite good value BUT the chips are always horrible!

This isn’t really the kind of place you would take your parents for a nice sit down meal, more the type of place you would take your pals after pints, that said, it is brilliant. The kebabs are beautiful, made of actual meat rather than indescribable mush. They are also huge and so tasty. You basically go to the counter and order what you want they give you a ticket and then call your number and you go collect it on a plastic tray, there is loads of seating which is unusual for a place like this and also a customer toilet, sounds silly but it really makes a difference to us girls especially after a few beers. It’s cheap too. I love this place so much that I would walk from the other end of town for one of their superior kebabs. Have also been sober and was just as nice. Worth a try.

I love kebabs and I'm so glad I discovered Zaytoon.... their kebabs are amazing! If you don't like kebabs then don't bother, as you'll be disappointed. Forget the chips they're terrible frozen ones but the rest of the food makes up for it and you'll probably be too stuffed after your kebab anyway. Great day or night, sober or drunk!

House made bread, baked in stone oven at front of shop is great, meats are standard kebab-house affair and salad filling could be stored at a better temperature to keep it a bit crispier. Overall though, a consistent well priced meal.

The service leaves a lot to be desired, the man at the door ordered us to stay outside in the rain until the queue had gone down inside then they wouldn't let one of our party take a seat while we ordered for them, they wouldn't let us take a seat after we ordered either and only allowed us to look for a seat when every one of us had our food in hand and there were no seats left. Food was ok but nothing special enough to go back to such horrendous service for.

Awful - absolutely awful. Maybe I should have gone when I was drunk, but I really didn't like this place. Is that really "meat" they put in those things? The bread in fairness looked quite authentic, but that hardly makes up for the rest of the experience. Disturbingly bad fries also served in a grotty looking room. Not my idea of food at all. If you're a big kebab fan, you might like it. I'll never go back.

Most definitely the best kebabs in Dublin! The only place for a good feed after a night out!

They have the best kebabs in Dublin by far, they are just so yummy. I love going in here after a few drinks, I'm always saying I'll go in for lunch some day but haven't managed yet. Anyone I know who has eaten here raves about it I have yet to hear of someone who doesn't like the food. If you haven't tried it yet get a move on!

Been going here for years and was just there on Friday evening. Was excellent as always, one minor niggle, which has never happened before, is that the bread was very thin this time and more like a pizza base then a kebab base. Other than that the best place for kebabs on the go in Dublin.

Was here last night after a few drinks with friends. It was not too busy but then again it was a Sunday night. Had the lamb dooner, as did my mates. Service was excellent. Only thing was the lamb was very scarce on the plate otherwise it was excellent.

A little expensive for the after beers kebab, but worth it!! The set for 2 is what I would recommend to people looking for a quick bite in the middle of the day, and at night, the chicken kebab, with tasty bits of actual chicken fillet is the best. The guys behind the counter are really friendly too... which makes the whole experience pretty enjoyable. The only downside is that half of Dublin sees this place as Dublin’s best Kebab Shop and the queues late at night are something else!!

This review is based is based on being there at 4am with a pint or ten in the stomach. The service is pleasant, you can see the food being made in front of you and it's an excellent kebab that you can eat with a knife and fork. WARNING: I'VE EATEN HERE IN DAYLIGHT WHILE SOBER AND THE TASTE IS QUITE DIFFERENT! BEWARE

A lovely restaurant that produces authentic kebabs. The breads and meats you can watch being made fresh right in front of you, and sauces, including hummus, prepared freshly that day. A very satisfying, and filling meal.

Brilliant for a number of reasons - it's open when you need it most i.e. after a feed or pints, you can sit down and eat your kebab with a knife and fork thereby reducing the risk of garlic sauce mess all over your person and you can gaze out the window at all the frivolity of Temple Bar at 4am. Entertainment and a kebab.
