    No matter how bad a fast food restaurant is they always have some redeeming features.My favorite abra meal is a chip butty with garlic mayonnaise bacon and cheese and a portion on chicken wings(There wings are delicious nicest around)there kebabs are terrible though.

    You are without a shadow of a doubt the bravest person in Ireland

    I ate a Zaytoons kebab sober once and it just didn't taste right.

    They're phenomenal when drunk though.

    Zaytoon is just about the only place I'd eat a kebab sober. They're quality wherever your sobriety is at.

    Abra is overpriced ****e though.

    Lot of people from Athlone on here too; you have to be from a hole to defend a hole tbh. And Athlone is a hole.

    ah abrakebabra.

    back in my youth it was the only way to end a session in town. never actually ate in there that often. usually just got a doner kebab and a chip butty to go.

    one to be eaten on the nightlink , and the other for the walk home.

    its funny as i cant eat a chip butty sober but by god its great at the end of a night.

    :)

    they used to do a tray of chicken wings with a red sauce cup that was like cullinary crack. literally could lick the chicken off the bone. havent seen it in ages though as i think they switched to gougons instead.

    i still drop in to the one on south anne street now and again as they do a deal where ya get a doner and can of coke for a fiver.

    when theyre not rushed off their feet at 2 in the morning they actually have the time to do them properly.

    as someone else posted when ya get a good doner kebab its heaven, even if it looks like a car crash in hamster town.

    EDIT.

    oh here by the way if ya want a laugh, abrakebabra own the obreins sandwich bar group so their getting their money off all those franchises lads too.

    If Limerick city was a take away it would be Abrakebabra.

    4 quid for a kebab and coke in there, 6.10 in my local chippy. The maths don't lie.

    There must be something in the alcohol that makes Kebabs seem more attractive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭ItsAWindUp


    Would never eat that filth


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Their not the worst, but not the best either, very little similarity of quality in any of the braches. Have not eaten in the sligo one in years, get food in the Donegal Town one ocasionaly if home for the weekend, although its now trading under a different name with a very similar menu, and the Mullingar one (last time I was in it) had a 10% extra charge after 110pm.
    Was in the one in dun laoghaire last year and was sitting next to the counter and was staring at the fit one behind the counter cutting up the kebab when she dropped loads of the meat on the floor and instead of putting it in the bin it went straight into the container ready to be served.

    Was probably observing the 3 second rule, but in fairness, I'd say there is far worst in their so called Kebab meat, than whats on the floor.

    Ate an abra once while sober, wont do it again. The pain is not as bad when drunk.

    Ass like a Jap flag!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,988 ✭✭✭constitutionus


    ah bollocks.

    went to go in to the one on south anne street like i said and its gone.

    :(

    had to settle for a whopper and chips instead as i didnt have the time to get to west morland street.

    its a pity as the staff were really nice.

    things must be bad when abra is closing outlets !

    A doner kebab and a chip butty? Christmas present from Santy and your mum? Oooh la la...

    There's no recession in your house ;)

    Zaytoon has been overtaken by Mezza (Parliament Street).

    Abra is awful. Many years ago I rang their Rat-mines branch for a couple of kebabs and chips to be delivered. The food was delivered by a guy on foot - van broken down. :(

    Completely agree!!, Rip off and bad quality!!. I used to work in Abra in Kildare (luckily it was closed) and it was a complete disaster from every point of view (cleaning, payment to employees, treatment to employees), nothing positive. They didnt register the workers in the tax system, they owe money to the suppliers, they paid 4 euros one hour of work, everything bad!!!

    They do a kebab for 2 euro on a Tuesday :D

    And 2 taco fries for 1 at the Ennis store (which do excellent taco fries, by the way). I've outgrown their kebabs though, moved onto other places.

    Abrakebabra on St Patricks day, a dangerous place to be


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,825 ✭✭✭Fart


    I'm dying for a kebab now. Bastid!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭ziggy23


    Is there one opposite Phibsboro shopping centre? Think I've been in there a few times when p1ssed. Wouldn't dream of having a kebab though yuck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,681 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Iskanders opposite the central bank is the place for kebabs, although I'll second Zaytoon.

    I actually like the doner kebab from Abra. That should probably go in the unpopular opinions thread


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,351 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Never been in it but its quiet expensive. Love the local chipper though...chips mmmm! yum!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    I've said it before, Abra's dont sell Kebabs, only something that slightly resembles them. Why do you think they have dropped the 'kebab' from some of their logos and advertising.
