Clontarf

If that sounds a bit too intense, the regular kebabs here are really delicious.

Mr Deno’s Kebabs
St Lucia
There’s a really good reason Mr Deno set up a kebab shop in the middle of St Lucia and it has to do with uni students and alcohol.

You’ll find the old favourites on the menu, served with your choice of salads and sauces. Thanks, Mr Deno!
