Abrakebabra, Ireland’s iconic kebab chain, brought its magic to Grafton Street this week, with the official opening of its newest store on Grafton Street, hosted by the mind boggling Keith Barry. The store marks Abrakebabra’s 40th year in business and pays homage to the brand’s original retro branding from the 80’s.
Barry officially cut the ribbon and kept guests engaged and entertained with his mind-bending hacks and interactive performances. One lucky attendee, Caoimhe Byrne won a coveted Abrakebabra gold card, giving her and a friend access to FREE food for a year!
