Zaytoon (Camden Street)

Covering Dublin with two city-centre locations (this one and a sister restaurant in Parliament Street), Zaytoon is on a mission 'to return the poor down-trodden and much maligned kebab' to its proper place in the food pantheon.

Your personal masterpiece will be freshly prepared to order with the salad accompaniments and sauces (chilli, garlic, both?) of your choice. You also get a lot for your money here - even the recently introduced smaller-sized 'special' kebab is generous indeed.

But what really sets Zaytoon apart from the rest is the quality of their breads (taftoon - Persian flatbread), freshly baked on the premises as needed.

Their Chicken Shish-Kebab is our top pick - difficult to eat neatly should you even attempt folding it and picking it up. Then despite the glorious mess you'll be making, it's just so nice that it's virtually impossible to put it down - until it's all gone.
