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

trixyben · 09-02-2012 08:14PM

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 · 09-02-2012 08:16PM

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 · 09-02-2012 08:26PM

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

I used to go for the taco fries.
I figured out how to make my own which is nicer.
The one in Tralee is a knacker hotspot.
Smelly dump.

Raditub · 10-02-2012 05:59PM

Wouldnt set a foot in it sober tho !

No food poisoning and always quite nice actually

same boat, been many times and never got food poisoning

Storminateacup · 10-02-2012 06:31PM

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

MyKeyG · 10-02-2012 06:37PM

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 · 10-02-2012 07:05PM

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

constitutionus · 10-02-2012 11:23PM

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.

cloud493 · 10-02-2012 11:39PM

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

Eathrin · 11-02-2012 04:24PM

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

ItsAWindUp · 11-02-2012 04:27PM

Would never eat that filth

Mint Sauce · 11-02-2012 04:33PM

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.

Darksaga87 · 11-02-2012 04:46PM

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

Ass like a Jap flag!
