Macari's Take Away Glasnevin in Dublin

Great food and the staff are very friendly

I had an awful urge to have a spice bag as a treat once a week, but my local Chinese Takeawy only takes cash, and I had none only my card. Hungry and cold, I went into the Macaris Take Away next door. Disappointed not to be having a spice bag, I walked into Macaris only to be hit with the most amazing aroma, and in a millisecond, my craving for a spice bag vanished. The menu was mouthwatering, and my dilemma began what to order. However, I was only I the door and asked for my order in my panic. I said one fresh cod and 3 chips. Done order put it, but my mind was racing, asking me questions like you fool, what about smoked cod, batterburger, or even chicken? I was distracted by the good banter with customers and staff. Everyone was in top form. My order was ready. Do you want chips separate or all together? I was asked, but of course, altogether. Salt and vinegar, I was asked again, as much as you wan, I said. The bag of food was handed to me like I was receiving the World Cup. I live locally, but my drive home seemed endless as my anticipation was getting out of control. I rang home to have plates warmed and bread buttered for the most glorious of sandwiches a chip butty;. I was received by my wife, son, and yes, our dog, a hero. We ate our food in complete silence while watching Deadpool and Wolverine. Thank you, Macaris. we had a wonderful evening eating simple food cooked to perfection and all because I did not have cash. How fortuitous was that?

Lovely chipper, great chips and fish
