Insomnia Coffee Company - Ardkeen in Waterford

18/09/2025: Party of 4 adults and 1 child. We dined here 2 weeks ago and I’ve been meaning to write a review. We usually get takeaway from here as it’s the best of a bad bunch in Waterford. This time someone suggested we dine in the restaurant; I was hesitant, as I am with most restaurants in Waterford. I’m anxious how Waterford restaurants will charge for subpar food. However, this day Peppers achieved excellence! It was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Our dining party members are no strangers to Indian cuisine and, in our collective opinion, this was exceptional. Some at the table complained about the wait time, but they had other engagements so they don’t count lol I thought the wait times were perfect. Allowed for chat and starter to settle. Upon tasting the food I realised where that time went. The chef put time and love into the food. Service was very good too. Bring your own wine is a nice touch. I’m looking forward to going back again. Btw the child in our group is a fussy eater and he ordered chicken nuggets and chips - so embarrassing - although Peppers obliged him. Top marks!
