Chicken gyros with chips and salad

Gyros and döner

Gyros and döner are two names for the same thing: seasoned meat stacked on a vertical spit, slow-roasted and carved to order. At Nosta that means Niko's Tavuk Döner with chicken, the Et Döner with lamb, or the Mix Döner with both. Each one comes with bread, sauce, side salad and your choice of chips or rice, so it is a full meal on one plate.
Acılı Adana kebab with chips

Acılı Adana, the spicy one

Named after the city of Adana in southern Turkey, this is minced lamb mixed with red pepper and chilli, pressed by hand onto a wide skewer and cooked over the grill. It comes with house bread and chips or rice, and a side of tzatziki for €3 cools it down nicely.
Lamb skewers with chips and salad

Lamb kebabs and skewers

Lamb skewers are the dish our regulars come back for. The lamb is marinated, threaded onto skewers and grilled to order, then served with house bread and chips or rice. We use locally sourced ingredients, so the meat is good before it ever reaches the grill. Kofte skewers, made from minced lamb, are the softer option.
Mixed döner plate at Nosta

Döner kebab, the original

Döner kebab comes from Turkey, where meat roasted on a turning spit has been carved to order for generations. At Nosta it comes on a plate with bread, sauce and salad, with chips or rice, or packed to take away. Want to know more? Read our guide to the types of Turkish kebab.

Cooked to order, every time

Every kebab, every skewer
Every kebab comes off the grill when you order it, with locally sourced meat. The döner is carved and the skewers are grilled while you wait, never kept warm. All our meat is halal certified, so if you are looking for a halal restaurant in Cork City centre, you can order anything on the menu.
Halal since 2012

Halal kebab in Cork City, cooked the Turkish way

Every kebab at Nosta is halal. All our meat is halal certified, as it has been since we opened on Marlborough Street in 2012: the lamb and chicken döner on the spit, the Acılı Adana, kofte, lamb skewers and chicken skewers off Niko's charcoal grill, the Beyti and the mixed grill. The same goes for the rest of the menu, from the steaks and burgers to the meat on our pide and pizza.
We are a family-run, Turkish-owned kebab restaurant, so our kebabs follow Turkish tradition: döner carved from a vertical spit, Adana minced lamb pressed by hand onto wide skewers in the style of the city of Adana, kofte made from minced lamb, and Beyti rolled in lavash bread and baked with cheese. Have them with meze such as hummus, ezme and tzatziki, or with Turkish pide and lahmacun from the wood-fired oven.
There is a fully licensed bar alongside the halal kitchen, and a few dishes are cooked with white wine: the Kremali Tavuk, Pasta Pollo, penne al salmone, the chargrilled salmon and the fish kebab. Tell your server and they will point you to dishes cooked without it.
During Ramadan the kitchen serves dinner until 10pm every day, so you can book a table for iftar after sunset. For Eid meals, family gatherings and student groups, book a table online, or for more than 10 guests send us a group enquiry.
Halal kebab takeaway is just as easy: order online for collection from Marlborough Street, or get your kebab delivered across Cork city through Deliveroo.

Questions

Kebab questions

What's the difference between gyros and döner?

None, apart from the name. Both mean meat roasted on a vertical spit and carved to order.

Are your kebabs halal?

Yes. All our meat is halal certified, and has been since 2012: every döner, Adana, kofte and skewer, plus the steaks, burgers and the meat on our pide and pizzas.

Do you serve alcohol?

Yes, we have a fully licensed bar. A few dishes are cooked with white wine (Kremali Tavuk, Pasta Pollo, penne al salmone, chargrilled salmon and the fish kebab), so ask your server for an alcohol-free choice.

Can we book a table for iftar or Eid?

Yes. Dinner is served until 10pm every day, so you can book a table for iftar after sunset during Ramadan. For Eid meals and groups of more than 10, send us a group enquiry.

Is your kebab takeaway halal too?

Yes. Kebab takeaway comes from the same kitchen with the same halal meat. Order online for collection on Marlborough Street, or through Deliveroo.

Do you have halal pizza?

Yes. Every meat topping on our wood-fired pizza and Turkish pide is halal, from the chicken to the sucuk. A gluten-free base is €4 extra.

The Acılı Adana. Acılı means spicy in Turkish: minced lamb with chilli, cooked on a wide skewer. Add tzatziki for €3 if you want to cool it down.

What is Beyti?

Minced lamb wrapped in lavash bread and baked with cheese, a Turkish grill classic named after the Istanbul restaurant where it was created.
