Be careful!
I visited this restaurant during a family trip from Dublin to Galway and was very disappointed with our experience. We ordered a chicken döner and a lamb döner. Unfortunately, we found two hairs in the chicken döner, and the lamb döner was severely undercooked, making it unsafe to eat. The meat also had a very unpleasant smell.

As a result, we had to throw the entire meal away. I contacted the manager the same day, and he acknowledged the issue and agreed to provide a 50% refund, which I appreciated.

However, my experience the following day with the restaurant owner was disappointing. Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, the response came across as dismissive, and I was encouraged to leave a review if I wished. I believe customer feedback, especially regarding food quality and food safety, should be taken seriously and handled respectfully.

I always discourage those who discourage the customers feedback. Highly not recommended.

Hello. Please, could you support my hobby and put your royal like for me? Thank you!
Very tasty wraps and French fries. Service is also good cause you can make a meal according to your own recipe. Meat is fresh and juicy.

Don’t overlook Turkish Charcoal Grill while walking through Galway’s Latin Quarter. I ordered the mixed döner (wrap) with chicken and lamb, with onion, red cabbage, lettuce, garlic mayo, and hot sauce. A döner is thinly sliced meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, and this one was packed with flavor. The seasoned meat paired perfectly with the fresh vegetables and sauces.

The staff were incredibly friendly, patiently answering all of our questions and making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.

The restaurant itself is small, with a few counter seats inside and a handful of tables outside, but most of the food is perfect for eating on the go while exploring Quay Street.

Whether you’re looking for a quick meal or a late-night bite after the pubs, this spot is well worth a visit. Highly recommended!
