The mix platter was lovely, I got to try the barg and some mother meats..I think the charcoal chicken might have been included too. It was tasty, didn't make me feel like **** but it's definitely a tiny serving for €10.50 each considering I could get a huge kebab meal for little extra. Maybe i just have a huge appetite.

Though I wouldn't be going for a kebab, find a proper authentic Turkish or Lebanese restaurant along there and ask for the full mezze. Its a huge feast with stacks of small dishes, flatbreads, salad, meats, etc so make sure to arrive hungry.

If you're back in London again and you like Indian then give Brick Lane in the east end a try. You need to do your research and pick wisely as its a mix of average to amazing depending on the restaurant. But if you pick right you're guaranteed a top class meal at very reasonable prices.

I went for the chicken shish which is breast marinated in lemon juice and saffron. The meat was really well cooked, great texture and the lemon and saffron gave it a lovely flavour. I bought a vial of saffron threads in Lidl last Xmas without knowing what to do with them, gladly I do now, gonna use it to marinate chicken along with Padraig Mor's famous kebab recipe in the thread over in the cooking club forum. Cant wait to try Passion 4 Food again, I'm really keen to try the charcoal half chicken. My only complaint was I wish there was more meat rather than a single skewer worth and also the knives are cheap blunt yokes which makes cutting through the bread a bit of a chore. Other than that absolutely top class kebabery, kudos to them. That strip where they are on Clanbrassil St seems to be fast turning into Dublin's Little Middle East, there must be around 10 kebab shops all within a few hundred metres. Has anyone tried any of the others?

Beechwoodspark wrote: » So folks from all the recommendations I was really curious about passion 4 food so yesterday I made my way to the clanbrassil street branch Had the lamb doner on bread with chips Staff were dead on and took the order very quickly and were having a bit of banter. Nice friendly atmosphere. Place was really clean I noticed too. So on to the main event. The kebab. Unreal Streets ahead of zaytoon and others I’ve tried at this stage. Generous serving of lamb Meat tasted really flavorful and succulent. Bread was fresh out of the oven and crispy and light They gave a mix of lettuce, onions in a sort of marinade, red cabbage, parsley cucumber, tomato, olives And some garlic sauce. (Even the sauce is superior to other places) The chips were cooked in the fryer there and then to go with the order and were v nice too. It came to 13.50 with a can of Coke Overall best kebab I’ve ever had in Dublin. I’ll be back. I just wish they’d open a branch somewhere a bit more convenient to me for lunch breaks !!!
