Istanbul BBQ House Flaming Great in Kilkenny

Istanbul BBQ House – Flaming Great! Yesterday I visited this place and was pleasantly surprised — I felt like I had been transported straight to Turkey! It's amazing that a place like this exists in Kilkenny — if you live here, consider yourself truly lucky. If I lived in Kilkenny, I’d be visiting this restaurant every week without a doubt. I came from Monaghan as a tourist, and I can confidently say: this is a must-visit spot. The food is genuine, high-quality, and the spices are absolutely fantastic. What sets this takeaway apart from any other is, first and foremost, the incredible quality — this isn’t thrown-together fast food. Everything is made with care and from fresh, real ingredients. As you walk in, you see exactly what’s going to be cooked for you — right in front of you, there’s a display of fresh meat, and you can simply point and choose. Whether it’s lamb, chicken — everything is fresh and delicious, a true gift from nature meant to delight your taste buds. The cleanliness is exceptional, the toilet facilities are spotless, and I believe the seating area could comfortably accommodate around 20 people. So you can sit, relax, and enjoy your meal instead of eating in your car and risking a mess — because let’s face it, we all like to keep our cars clean. All in all, this place is magical, in a magical little town. Come and enjoy proper meals on clean plates with real metal cutlery — this is no ordinary fast food joint. I’d call it a real restaurant, and it truly deserves continued recognition for the level of service and hospitality it provides.

Stopped by on a whim as my gf and I were exploring Kilkenny on a slow Feburary Sunday afternoon. The BBQ House stood out with its flashy lights and bold smells and at that point we were getting pretty hungry so we decided to take a chance. For 17 euros amd some change, I got the lamb shish kebab and spicy chicken wings on the side. Everything was perfectly seasoned - I didn't reach for the salt, pepper, chili flakes etc which was phenomenal and frankly not my usual experience with ethnic foods. I took one bite of their toasted bread and took my jacket and scarf off because I knew I was going to go to town on that thing - the closest equivalent I could think of are high quality breadsticks fresh out of the oven from Mellow Mushroom or whatever mid-tier plus pizza chain in the states. Except you get two generous slices of them. That paired with the sauce-slathered lamb and fresh side salad with a pickled chili pepper? Exactly the pick-me-up I needed. Hmm...forgot to take pics, but hopefully y'all will give this place a shot. Oh, the chicken was pretty good too, small and not spicy but also juicy and flavorful. Spicy is relative anyway, who cares. TLDR: I wouldn't know what would be considered authentic Turkish food if it came up to me and shoved a chip up my nose, but I did quite like the food here and I left full and happy!
