Sandros Ballyhaunis in Ballyhaunis

Fabulous quarter pounders, lovely hand cut chips and curry. Friendly staff, happy to do business.

While visiting Ireland from the U.S., we stopped by this spot kind of on a whim—and I’m so glad we did. Right away, the service stood out. Adnan, one of the guys working there, was honestly amazing. Even though we had some loud and obnoxious toddlers with us and a pretty hectic order, he was extremely patient, respectful, and friendly. You could tell he really cared about customer service, and he made us feel welcomed. Knowing I was from America, Adnan went out of his way to recommend and personally customize a sizzling spicy chicken burger just for me. He added his own touch with jalapeños, spicy sauce, crispy lettuce, and a well-seasoned fried chicken fillet—and I’m not exaggerating when I say the flavor combo was crazy good. It had that perfect balance of creamy, spicy, and crunchy. The sauce had a nice kick without being overwhelming, and the burger overall tasted way better than a lot of fast food joints back home. Everyone in our group also ordered crispy chips (fries), which were done just right—crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and the QUANTITY was insane. We had such a heavy amount of chips which was actually insane. We also had a tandoori-style chicken roll that had great flavor. The seasoning on everything was strong but not overpowering. Now, the only reason I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bun and chicken on the burger were a bit too hard, especially compared to the softness of the inside. It wasn’t inedible or anything, but it did make the burger a little difficult to bite into. With a softer bun or slightly juicier chicken, this would’ve easily been a 5-star meal. Still, the taste was definitely there, and the service made it even better. I’d 100% come back, and honestly might stop by again before leaving Ireland.

Ali served me, a chatty welcoming employee who also made us up a chicken box. He listened to the ingredients, made it up for us and charged accordingly. If you need a late night feed in Ballyhaunis, here is your spot. My wife also got a kebab which was delicious and fair priced. Up Ali, a great worker for your company.

The chips are like I am in the uk. Minimum card spend €10. Gorgeous food, I stop every time I pass.
