    I've had a total of 2 kebabs in my life. I thought they were disgusting. Couple of bites from each. Whatever you're into I suppose.

    where did you get them from?

    One was from local Turkish place that most of the town loves. Other one was in big fancy place in Cardiff.
    I just didn't like them, plus I don't like the look of that kebab meat, looks like there could be anything in it.

    I used to love donor kebabs but too salty for me now so it's chicken shish all the way, might have to get a Zaytoon for lunch!

    I've only ever had one kebab and it was alright, but it was unbelievably messy to eat....and I was sober. Can't imagine the state of some people trying to tackle them at 3am!

    Had one last nite for supper, seemed a good idea at the time , I now realize that they are in fact pure evil my arse is in bits I’m up since 6 on the toilet. Please stay away from this evil food.

    That's not the kebab its the establishments food safety standards. I have two places near me that do great doner kebabs and i have never had any issues with them.

    It does smart a bit on the way out though, especially if in your drunken state you opt for the hot chili sauce. :eek:

    All you need to complete the look is a can of Dutch Gold in the other hand.

    A bottle of Berliner pilsner or Fritz Cola would be my preference.

    Not sure if they have Dutchie in Turkey, where kebabs come from, Austria where kebabs outsell burgers and wurst, or Berlin where doner sales were over €2.5 billion in 2010 and is hotly contested where the original and best kebab in Europe might be.

    Damn, I could do with one of those!

    A quick nose says that the place is currently closed, but due to reopen soon.

    100% would find it again, if/when I'm back in Munich. 4.5/5 Sofs, official rating.

    Abrakebabra. Despite the name, they are bloody awful. Frozen slices of kebab meat defrosted on the grill, and shoved into some pitta bread, is not my definition of a kebab.

    Local independents do theirs in a flat bread or a nan, delicious at the right time. Nicest in Ireland I have had, think it was Kebabish Tandori, near the Barge Pub, Dublin.

    Nicest ever was on a side street in Lyon, France. Hollowed out peice of bread, loaded with meat, salad and sauces.

    All washed down with a curry chip.

    :D

    I haven't had a decent Kebab in Ireland.
    But when I'm in Germany, I eat the f*ckers as often as possible.

    Its hard to beat the Turks for a good kebab. Its hard to get a good kebab in Ireland, I've heard they use meat from young calves not fit for rearing ..

    They're not evil, they're just largely (with a few notable exceptions) complete muck here.

    Go to Berlin and have one there - there is no comparison. I'd happily take a kebab over a steak dinner in Berlin.

    Zaytoon and the Capel Kebab House are as good as it gets here, but they are still a far shout from what it's like over there.

    Where would they get young calves? The traceability and animal ID system is pretty tight.
    And what's wrong with veal in a kebab? :D

    I'm sure it is, but it's probably handier for me to get to Berlin :)

    I don't eat in places that use numbers instead of words in their name.

    Falafel kebabs are where it's at!

    No scary meat to be concerned with, tasty as bejaysis and very hard to get wrong.

    Only pisser is that they don't tend to do them in the bog standard chipper!

    I also have never had a tasty one in Ireland. Germany had some amazing ones, but the best I had were in Gdansk, Poland. They were simply out of this world.

    I tried that passion4food place on clanbrassil and it was muck. Grisly meat, doughy bread and appalling hygiene in general. I heard there is a good one somewhere on Dorset st somewhere though that is the genuine article. I have been meaning to try it.
