Maybe they watched Soup Nazi from Seinfeld

I'm definitely in agreement with Robbo on this one. The Salty Sultan is great - it tastes great drunk or sober and it's as close as I've come to feeling even remotely 'healthy' when having a donor kebab meal for diner.

I'd call them polite more than unfriendly they don't really get into unnecessary conversations but still there not bastards. Personally I prefer it than fcukers behind counter who talk sh1te away to ya and then let your burger burn.

Yup, I prefer the Sultan to the Charcoal Grill as well. Kebabs are nicer, slightly larger, cheaper and the salad tends to be fresher, in my experience. Friendly guys too. Ye can't beat a chicken doner from the Sultan after a feed of pints in Sally's

In between Java's and Sally Long's, across the road from CPs.

No word of a lie....myself and a mate were tripping after a kebab in the charcoal grill a couple of years ago, as in LSD. We were tripping for at least 5 hours laughing our heads off, God honest truth, no other explanation other than it had something to do with the kebab. They dopped a few tabs in the sauce, magic!:D

Spiked kebabs, it's a serious problem. You turn your back when he's putting on the chilli sauce, they slip in a roofie and *BAM* you wake up with a sore arse and a taste of elephant leg in your mouth.

Never leave your kebab unattended.

Kebab wasn't left unattended. It was a straight-up, stumble-in, order some sort of kebab, out the door and 15 mins later, walls are suddenly the funniest thing I've ever seen. if it was just me on my own I'd probably have put it down to some weird flashback but since my mate was also off his head, it was 100% agreed that the Charcoal had given our kebab sauce an extra unexpected treat

To be fair, most of those types of drugs (lsd mushrooms etc) take a lot longer than 15 mins to act..

It's the novelty.

Wheres that?

Saucy Sultan, surely? On Abbeygate St, just across from Hades.

I've been there just the once and had a wholly satisfactory mixed doner that tasted good despite being sober.

It shall from here on in be known as the Happy Turk. Or there'll be heck to pay at the beers!

to be honest, I don't understand what the Cannucks are worried aboot.

Sound, see ya otuside Kebab house at around 2am tomorrow morning. I'll be the one with curry all over my hands and cheese dangling from my mouth

Everybody loves the Charcoal. I worked with a lad last Summer, the two fo us shared the passion for the Turkish institution. Anyways on his last night out in Galway before heading for Austrailia for a year, there was a going away party and of course ended up at the Grill. When we told the lads that he was leaving, they presented him with a kebab with Doner and Skish chicken on the house. A tear came to his eye...

Tar.Aldarion

It's only when I'm really really drunk that I end up there, pity. All I remember about it is drinking half a can of 7up I found and falling asleep.

She's always been dead sound to me and anyone i know. She has a good head for faces so maybe she remembers you.

I had been going to Saucy Sultan recently due to their sheer convience of location right beside CP's..

Why you think im trying to organise a Meet for Sept 1st at Roisin Dubh....Kebab house only a few feet away!:D

Caliden

Had a charcoal large chicken donar on saturday night nad it was so damn good.

Was looking forward to it at about 2am but had to wait around till the rest finished up their drinks. Only lettuce and burger sauce on mine, anything else repeats on me in the morning and besides he puts more chicken in it when they are the only toppings I get.

DRakE

Lamb, DOUBLE GARLIC, lettuce and onion.

Oh yes.

I actually got a laugh out of her the last day, believe it or not! Mind you, it's cause she said it was the first time she ever saw me in there sober.


Yes people, I did it, I went to the Kebab House... SOBER

padi89

Well after this long thread on these "great establishments" i decided id give Kebab house a go on the way home.NEVER again,the (what i can only describe now as) asshole behind the counter decided to serve me two portions of stone cold onion rings, i dont even think they had been cooked.I should have been a bit more suspicious when they were served up straight away with a funny look but i would have expected better after recommendations here.The food is as good as how the place looks, Sh1t.

majiktripp

How anyone could walk into the Kebab House when the Bamboo Chinese takeaway is right beside it is beyond me! I just remember having their Monster (1/2lb) burger and having a does of the sh1ts the next day that would haunt me for weeks...
