    Aren't there only two: Abrakebra and Laois Kebab House?

    I've only eaten from the Laois Kebab House and was happy enough with it, a tad overpriced for what you get and the meat can be of poor, leathery quality sometimes. The flavouring sauces they use are delicious though!

    Tried Laois Kebab House and Abrakebra. Laois Kebab House is terrible, on two occasions, I found thick dark hair strands on my chips. First time I thought it wouldn't happen again, urgh! Will never eat there again. Abrakebra do a nice one in my opinion.

    As a kebab con....cona...coni...lover, I heartily recommend Zam Zam. Laois Kebab House is absolutely revolting as is Abra. Francesco's comes a close second to ZZ but the kebab is much smaller.

    Also, havent tried that new place next to Portlaoise Chinese. Anyone been there yet?

    Zam Zam are the best, abara are an insult to the word kebab to be honest.

    Abra did a decent impression of a Burrito last time I was in, but I'm well aware of the state of their Kebabs, no chance of me going down that road again.

    Their "attempt" at Mexican food is abominable. But that's different matter altogether.

    Its many a morning i've woken up nursing a hangover only to find a half consumed kebab nestled in the bed alongside me.

    There's also that weird need in the drunk mans mind to bring a can or half finished pint to bed with him, just in case you might reaise you can fit a bit more in or wakeup thirsty mid-coma!

    Those stacks often provided food for 15-50 people for the next 48 hours of partying before someone managed to get down to Abrakebabra for a taco chop and chip buttie!

    Yes of course because its the kebabs and taco fries that are causing people to fight. In no way could be the all the booze they have in their systems from the pubs and clubs:rolleyes:
