Abrakebabra /ˈæbrəkəˈbæbrə/ is an Irish fast-food restaurant chain established in Dublin, Ireland in 1982.

Contents

When the first Abrakebabra restaurant was opened in Rathmines in Dublin it attracted huge attention catering to late-night crowds with a fresh menu that included introducing the doner kebab to the Irish market. [3]

As of 2025, there are 24 Abrakebabra restaurants in total, 13 of which are in Dublin.

Cards

The Abrakebabra Gold Card (AKA Doner Card) allows the recipient free food for life. [4] It is sent unexpectedly, when a public figure expresses their interest or relationship with the brand. Singer Cheryl Cole received a gold card after telling a radio station that Abrakebabra's kebabs were the best. [4] Actor Colin Farrell stated in an interview that he and Irish musician Bono also have gold cards. [5]

Farrell stated in a Jimmy Kimmel interview that he was upgraded to a black card with the serial number 001. [6]
