Some friends and I were discussing how the best kebabs are Turkish, and how as you get further away from Turkey the quality deteriorates. Edits/Suggestions welcome…
Can someone please give Omar a job?

Are the kebabs in the Arctic circle and Somalia as good as the kebabs in Berlin? – I’ve been doing them a disservice, so.
i look no further than zaytoon on parliament st for all my kebab needs. don’t know or care about the nationality of the lads who make them
Turkish I’m nearly sure.
Gnome-gnome-gnome-nom-nom-nom !
Grabs fez and magic carpet !
:-)
They’re mostly Iranian in Zaytoon
“Persian cuisine”
“Zaytoon –
The only kebab I’d eat sober!”
Last time I had a kebab it was 1992. Serious hankerin’ for one now, albeit only ‘acceptable’ standard.
Jamaal 5 in 1 Inchicore – best kebabs outside of the place with the best kebabs
5 meats, 1 kebab !
Sounds good !
Unfortunately no.
5 ‘Cuisines’ in 1 takeaway!
I understand this is just kebabs…but doesn’t good national food and recipes travel with the diaspora? E.g. Little Italy, Chinatown, Irish stew etc. This map either indicates that Turks don’t emigrate far from Turkey or that the further they go the more they forget how to make a good kebab.
I think geography plays a big part. I would imagine a nice Irish stew would taste fairly crap in the Mediterranean countries in anything other than winter.
Best Doner kebabs are in Germany – nothing in Ireland has ever come close. It’s all about that bread they use….
As someone who would spend time regularly in Germania – I would have agreed with you – until I discovered Kebabish (odd name) on Clanbrassil st. in Dublin, best shishkebab on earth, fresh baked bread thing, cabbage, grated carrots, literally all the food groups in their kebabs, wear stretchy pants if you get one though….
and afterward go for a walk downwind of populated areas,..but toadally worth it
@kolmo Not to burst your bubble

Just adds to the flavour I guess
+1 Zaytoon
+ einmal mit scharfer Sosse
I second you on the German kebabs. Used to eat one for lunch and then another one for dinner, they were that good. I remember getting some fast food after a boozy night out – a mate of mine went for the pizza option while I went for the kebab. He took one look at my kebab, chucked the pizza in the bin and joined the kebab queue…
Yep.
Had kebabs in Koln. Superb.
i really do hope Omar gets a job soon….his maps are never less than entraining and intelligent but this latest one smacks of desperation…..
Ha, me too! I need a job ASAP, although I think it’s less desperation and more late-night boredom than anything else!
I hear kebab shops are hiring – you can work late there too
Hmmm… my Arabic and Turkish ain’t that good so I wouldn’t be able to have any bants with the lads I work with. I also may have to give up on the old vegetarianism.
I’m fairly sure nothing could be more of an incitement to vegetarianism than working in the kebab industry.
Great suggestion Joe, really helpful. Its no wonder people with talent leave Ireland with that kind of advice.
What on earth are you talking about? Do you think this man feels he has a sense of entitlement to work in his chosen profession? Like you clearly do? What’s wrong with working in a kebab shop while waiting for a better opportunity? Spit out your dummy.
Lads, Inchicore. At the lights passed the Spar. Kebabs? You ain’t tasted them till you’ve been to this joint.
Limerick folk. Turkuaz is my favourite. Istanbul Kebab ones taste great but they could make a run to the laundrette a bit more often.
Zaytoon tops em all though but I’ve hear there’s a better place in Dublin now, can’t remember the name as I tend to filter out the advice of self-proclaimed ‘foodies’.
Uhh. Kebabs are too complicated and scary for me tbh.
That meat never looks right.
Gimme a batter burger any day
so you want the meat hidden by batter? you’d be taking your life in your hands with batter burgers sometimes.
as an aside, the batter burger is the benchmark of any decent chipper. it’s one of the only things they usually make themselves from scratch.
is that a fact? from what –the rendered intestines of unused squirrels and other common rodents?
yep, slathered in batter and deep fried. oh yeah..
All the hunger in the world and yet people still won’t use a squirrel.
I’m pretty fussy about me batter burgers
And the burger meat always look a lot better that what you’d see in the windows along Dame St Georges Street and Camden Street
So the ponds of vomit on that same route on Sunday Mornings is no surprise
ah frilly it’s not just about the meat, some folks just can’t handle the tahini sauce. it doesn’t mix with the stout you see..
Best kebab in Galway?
Probably a quinoa patty wrapped in a buckwheat pitta, drizzled with macnas juice.
Germany has some outstanding kebabs alright. Despite being in the ‘Concept grasped but Quality Poor Zone’ Australia actually have some incredible joints for kebabs due to a large Lebanese population. Honestly, Bankstown in Sydney is right up there with Zaytoon for quality kebabs.
Best washed down with some crab juice.

Here here,
Dogubayazit in the wild east of Turkey, best kebabs ever. Proper shish mon.
Though echo the above poster, Aussie kebabs are also top notch. Love how some places toast them in the panini press as well.
End of thread.

Iskanders are the greatest kebabs in Ireland, there is no debate.
