Abrakebabra

Eathrin

So I got a menu there in the mail and it got me thinking;

Does anybody actually go to abrakebabra, is their extortionately priced food actually any good and how does it manage to stay open?

The name of the place puts me off

Chap who owns it is rich.

But it's the only place to go if you want food poisoning, they guarantee it free with any order where you spend over 5 yoyos.

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.

all kebab shops are a lottery

Their floors must be really clean if you can do that. Maybe they get a bad press after all.
I once dropped the insides of a kebab on a table people were sitting at as I was walking by them. I was so drunk I just sat down with them and ate it with a knife and fork off the table. Some fella asked me if I was looking for a dig . No I replied just my Kebab.

Good times.

Went there once with 3 friends - we all got food poisoning -never been since and never will again.

Because theyre franchised, the quality varies greatly.

The one in Athlone was poison, closed down about 7 years ago. The one in Letterkenny closed recently and I know a few people who were very disappointed, don't know what it was like myself however, the Athlone one has put me off Abra for life. There's one in the town I live in now, and in 2 years of living here, I've never even thought of going to it.

I used to eat there when I was a lot more stupid than I am now.

Athlone could turn a Michelin star restaurant ****, such is the ****ness that envelops the place.

Thank you for taking the time to make that stellar contribution from the sanctity of your magnificently appointed Tuscan villa.

Rarely.

For fast food it's either Lennox's, KC's or Hillbilly's.

Get the sand outta your vag. Athlone is a lovely spot.

Taco chips - no better way to end a night out! No worse way to start the next day with three 'sittings' on the throne in the space of an hour. Major ringsting, they should give you Babywipes and savlon cream in the bag instead of a fork and napkin.

How can something so right be so wrong

kebabs are best eaten when drunk, cause they look hideous when you're sober

rednik

Let's be honest, there are a lot of doners out there.

Why did you edit that?

It was perfect the first time but now it's just not. I'm going to have to unthank it now.

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

They're phenomenal when drunk though.

It's so everyone elso knows your genitalia works

We always fondly refered to the one on Dame Street as Stabrakebabra back in the day.

trixyben

the ones near me are completely empty during day and week nights but at the weekends there is a cue a mile long and even a bouncer to stop queue jumpers!!! They must make a small fortune at the wkends to be able to pay staff, bills etc...its a no no for me poor food, bad attitude staff,too dear ust to name a few!

Peetrik

It was always called Abraka'stabya in my School which is kinda catchy... then it was called Abraka'biteyournoseoff after an incident.

The food is garbage and over priced

The one in Carlow seems to be step above the rest, it's always busy and they never do any Abra specials

thebostoncrab

Abra can be hit or miss. But by God, if you do find a decent one, nothing beats it. Sober or drunk one of the biggest things I miss about living back home is Abra

The one in Tralee is a knacker hotspot.
Smelly dump.

I've never had a kebab in my life. Am I missing out

MyKeyG

I think the reason it manages to stay in business is because their stores are either the only takeaways in the vicinity or the only ones to stay open late.

I had a friend who would buy food from the one in Rathmines when we were full of drink and even then I wouldn't have anything to do with it. I swear to god you'd find something more appetising in a skip!!!

Please share your recipe? I've tried too and it wasn't bad but my bf didn't agree

From a proper kebab shop or middle eastern restaurant they're very nice. They're also notoriously unhealthy. It was reported a few years ago that there's the equivalent of two and a half wine glasses of cooking oil in each one. So if you don't mind consecutive heart attacks then taste wise you're definitely missing out IMO.

I love abrakebra

wilkie2006

Ever been in the one on Westmoreland Street, Dublin? On a Friday night, it's like a fcuking zoo in there; Celtic jerseys swinging from the ceiling and girls getting fingered in the booths (while eating a kebab, naturally).

The security guys in that place earn their cash.

Not, according to the Lonely Planet. Glasson have a few great spots, try the Westside of Town. Hudson Bay is still big.


You pay feck all for food, you get crap.

And your from?
