I just noticed yesterday that the one on Parliment St. was closed so checked out this thread to see what was happening to it. It's definitely opening up again?

I haven't been in a good while but I've a hankering for one now, might go to Camden St branch at the weekend.

My go to drunken kebab was Mezze on Parliment St which was a few doors up from Zaytoon. Think it's shut a few years now though.

Yeah just a month closure for refurbishment. I've never been inside the Camden street one before. I'll definitely go this weekend as in absolutely dying for one all week!!!!

Passion 4 food is leagues ahead of the rest.

And nothing has changed in 2 years

I've had passion 4 food in their Camden street branch last month. It was certainly good but just felt like a cheaper (in price and slightly in quality) version of Zaytoon.

Is there anywhere else that's like zaytoon and P4F? Chipper kebabs are fine but they're so different to the above mentioned places.

The Camden Street one is better imho. Don't know why, same ingredients, it's just a tastier kebab from my experience.

Glad to hear. I'll report back!!

Yeah they are closed for a month to refurbish the place.

Badly needed refurb in Zaytoon, its been very shabby for a number of years now

Yeah the footfall through Zaytoon is something else, it usually 50% full during the day and then packed at nighttime. Its no wonder they need to spruce the place up with a refurb at this stage, I'm going there since about 2008 and cant ever remember it having any kind of work done between then and now.

Agree with the clientele, a lot of Muslims during the day and then the drinking crowds in the evenings. It also must have a very good rating on Trip Advisor because it gets a hell of a lot of toursts too. Am looking forward to going back when it is done up.

Hot Chilli on Kevin Street do a great chicken kebab but I've only ever had it sober once.

I need to try out Passion 4 Food next time I'm in town.

yeah its very good,portions are huge in the pasha special for 2,iv been 5 times and 2 times some of the meat was a bit over cooked,i think that was the same chef but the flavour was good.Its defo better than Zatoon, but passion 4food is probably better.

Is this place still open. Probably the original Kebab place in Dublin. Was in a lane beside The Baggot in and Toners.. 1982/3ish

Had one of these not so long ago, it was awful.

Had a passion4food from clanbrassil street just there. Was lovely.

Is it better than zaytoon? I don't know, they're both equally delicious.

Next up maybe at the weekend will be Pasha.

I love passion4food, definitely my favourite. I had Zaytoon recently (the one on Parliament Street) and I wasn't crazy about it, my OH is the total opposite, down to individual tastes I suppose!

I tried that place at the junction of capel and abbey st the other day.

Ephesus I think it’s called

Would not recommend and won’t be going back

I’ve had so many kebabs out of that place, and couldn’t properly tell you if they are good or not. They more than do the job if you’re full to the brim with drink.

Passion4food is still my favourite. Even though I tend to order the charcoal chicken in there these days. There’s always guards waiting around for food when I’m there - seems to be a favourite of the police force. The lads working there are as sound as a pound as well.

Ate in Momo's in Tallaght a few evenings ago. As said portion sizes are huge, I'd guess there was around 400g of meat on the plate, it was massive along with the salad (which had olives in it which quickly got scooped out).

Got the mixed kebab meal which came with bread, two dips and a bowl of homemade chips which were pretty decent. If you ordered an extra bread it would be enough for two people, bit of a bargain for 7.95. However the meat was dry, they cook it on one of those revolving gas spits, something that only works well if the place is very busy and meat is constantly being cut off it. If its not busy the meat gets over cooked and dry like I had. Also the bread didnt come on a large plate but instead in a bowl and cut in four piices which was pretty frustrating assembling a kebab out of four times in a row. Overall its not bad and if the meat hadn't of been dry it would have be decent enough. Would try it again but at the same time its not on the level of Zaytoon. Gonna try Passion 4 Food soon to see what its like.
