Fantastic food friendly people running it and overall perfect moment to eat after a long day

Got food for lunch today in Salinas and couldn't be happier, was delicious and so so fresh got a mixed platter of their meats beautiful handmade kofta and the dips were devine. Will for sure be going back again and would recommend to anyone a lucky spot to have in Midleton if I could give it 6 stars I would

Good oriental food at reasonable prices

We really enjoyed the food here. We highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for something deliciously different.

Food was delicious, staff fab and owner/chef Abdullah checked in regularly to see we were enjoying all. A fantastic experience

During our recent visit as a family of five, including three young children, we were warmly welcomed by the attentive staff. The menu caters to a wide range of tastes, offering dishes that are both flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. Our children particularly enjoyed the kid-friendly options, while one of us savored the rich and aromatic Middle Eastern specialties, I'm very picky so I was delighted with the wide menu choice available. Absolutely loved the kids play area, what a fantastic addition to the restaurant. Salina's Bistro is a must-visit. We can't wait to return.

If you are looking for the tastiest food in Ireland, you're at the right place! I'm a regular customer at Salinas, whether I'm looking for a cheeky takeaway or I'm feeling fancy and want to enjoy a dine-in experience with my mates. From the salads to the mains to the desserts, it is absolutely amazing, I've never been disappointed with anything from the menu! Ask about the ice cream! There's always something different on the weekends, make sure to ask about it! The atmosphere is superb, Mr. Abdullah is a joy to be around and you will see him adding to everyone's experience with a friendly chat and some giggles!

Delicious fresh well flavoured food, a warm welcome and fabulous cocktails, highly recommended!

Our group of fourteen were at Salinas for Restaurant Week on Saturday, March 1, 2025. I walked in with a cane and couldn’t have been better treated. However, everyone else in our group said they were poorly to nastily greeted and pointed to where our table was located. I was disappointed I could not order off the regular menu, however, the extra meal,of chicken piccata was almost excellent as was the Mediterranean salad. The piccata needed a flatter, lighter noodle rather than the spaghetti noodle served with the chicken. Other than that, the meal was very good but not worth the high price. Unfirtunately, I ordered Limoncello after dinner. I have never tasted anything that bad. It was warm, there was sugar added, and sugar on the rim of the huge glass. As we all know, Limoncello should be served icy cold in a small glass. Please, never order Limoncello at Salinas.

We have been to Salinas before and always left happy. However, today we did not have the same experience. There were 3 tables in the restaurant and yet we had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come and take our order, the same issue re-emerged when we were finished our starters. My partner’s food was lovely but I cannot say the same for mine. I had asked the waitress if the spicy prawn tagliatelle (a beautiful dish that was on the menu last time we were in Salinas) was still available, to which she said that yes it was, it was this weekend’s special. The specials were not available to us so I could not cross check. I was delighted! The waitress did say that it was not pasta but it was something else, knowing Salinas does Arabic food I just expected the something else to be an Arabic carb or something of the sort, as long as I had my spicy sauce I was happy. The dish came and it was a bowl of a not spicy, cream sauce and about 10-13 over cooked prawns. There was a bit of Paprika on it but there was no spice for a spicy dish. We were in a rush so I didn’t send it back (I understand that’s where I lie at fault) but I paid €18.95 for a bowl with a cream sauce, garlic bread and prawns. I love prawns and so get them out whenever and wherever possible but never in my life have I paid such prices for what I got!!! This is not to deter anyone from Salinas, it is a fantastic spot in Midleton but just something to be mindful of!
