    One of the best Kebab I had, huge portions and friendly staff. If it’s busy, might be hard to find a parking, it is ideal for a late night out meal. For meat lovers Suggesting to try once this shop, you won’t regret. Mix Kebab was excellent. Definitely go again.

    Food was excellent €25 for three althoughmy daughterjust ate mine as there was so much.. Big portion, so much so I was able to bring home nearly half my kebab to my son in a takeaway container provided by the restaurant. He was absolutely delighted. The food was very tasty with plenty of fresh salad and multiple sauces. My wife asked for a gluten free option and was given falafel with chicken and salad and said it was delicious. Nicely decorated, clean toilets, some foreign music on in the background and a multicultural clientele. Close your eyes and it was like being on holiday. Service was good and friendly. Looking forward to going back.

    I used to come here quite frequently, but unfortunately haven’t had the chance to visit in a while. Brilliant food at all times of the day. I recommend the Falafel.

    2 different meals!! 1 was meant to be just onions and no sauce the other was meant to be no salad!! Absolute joke of a place!! Don't answer phone or try to resolve issue!! €26 for something that I didn't order!! Avoid at all costs!!

    Chicken doner kebab or grilled chicken is what I'm coming back for. I'm a regular customer for many years. 😊 Large portions and good taste. Prices are quite high for a chicken doner kebab meal - 15 euro. Ps: Please consider renowating your bathrooms...

    The last time I had been here was 3 years ago and the food was good then, but it is great now! The staff is friendly, the ingredients fresh, and the Falafel are crispy - the home-made garlic sauce is wonderful and the fresh naan is to die for. I love that a meat eater and a vegetarian can both get a great meal here. The Falafel burger with a drink and (crispy) French fries cost 10 EUR, so not too bad for 2023. If you want the best Kebab in Cork, go here.

    Got the chicken doner kebab & mixed grill for one person with meal. The food was AMAZING. However the total was €36. As a tourist, i found it pretty expensive. Not sure if this is the average price of kebab shops in Cork. 🇮🇪🍖🧡

    If you are looking for an authentic kebab experience then this is the place to go. I always eat here with my wife and our favorite is their grilled kofta meal. You can choose to have chips or rice that can go with it and regardless of what you choose, you will never go wrong. If you will visit for the first time, when you order, i would suggest that you tell them to separate everything. That would separate the meats, veggies, sauce, and nan bread. This way you will be able to enjoy the food at your own pace as you dip their bread and meats to their amazing sauces to your liking. Their service is very good and they cook their food fresh. Value for money is very good as their food is amazing and you will surely go back once you experience it. This is a must visit when you go to the city. I have included their menu on the pictures and their opening times in case you want to go

    This place is a gem. Best mixed doner in town. The bread is hand made and fresh with good amount of meat on top, accompanied with vegetables and a very tasty sauce. Staff is friendly.

    Hands down the best kebab I have ever eaten. They take the time to bake the bread fresh, meat was a good portion and accompanied by a nice salad and sauce. Chips were nice too even though I was stuffed after the kebab. Well presented and staff were friendly. Can't wait to go again highly recommended 👌 ☺ 😌 👍 🙂 😊 👌 ☺ 😌 👍

    The food was amazing, especially the fresh naan! They were out of rice but kindly gave me a bowl from the rice they had made for themselves for free with my meal. Service was very friendly, food was great and very flavorful. The plate came with a generous amount of meat. Waited about 10 minutes for the food to be ready as it was being cooked fresh.

    One of the tastiest kebabs I had in Ireland, very fresh, meat tasted like it should. Place was also super clean and the staff was friendly. Only downside would be that it would be on the more expensive side, but I can see the place posted about it to inform and judging by both the quality and city centre location its okay with me

  • 5/5 Damien O' B. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the best Kebab shop in Cork City. I was born in Cork and lived here most of my life and Istanbul is definitely the nicest Turkish Kebab takeaway/restaurant in Cork. The food is consistently good quality. It's fresh. The staff are friendly. The shop is always spotless and what I like the most is that although it's in the middle of the drinking district in Cork city. They never comprise on quality so you're guaranteed good food whatever time you go. I wrote this long review as I'm sick of poor quality kebab shops around this city. I'm not going to name any. But, the quality in some of them is shocking.

    Wonderful food and very large portions. My husband and I shared a meal for one person and were very satisfied. We were very well attended by a friendly Brazilian woman.

  • 4/5 Paddy O. 4 months ago on Google
    Decent chicken kebab with a lot of filling for €20. Maybe a little wet to stop you holding it but tasty especially at end of an evening. Busy but they address queues quickly.

  • 5/5 Seán T. 6 months ago on Google
    Delicious food and friendly service, look at what you can get for only €10. Call in early.

👍 Crazy good prices on food and beverages. You sacrifice attentive service, but everyone I talked to there was pleasant and helpful.
