The best restaurants

30/10/2024: If this restaurant refines just one dish, the “Tandoori Chicken” then the rest of Dublin’s Indian establishments might well close their doors, as this is the only spot truly serving authentic South Asian flavours. Unlike others, they haven’t compromised/diluted their dishes to cater to a universal palate. A standout is their “Laal Maans” which boldly showcases the richness of traditional spices. It’s no surprise that the restaurant consistently earns five-star reviews. Having ordered from here for over two years, I’ve yet to be disappointed. This restaurant offers a genuine taste of home away from home. - Thank you 🙏🏽

07/03/2025: This is the place to go if you want a beautiful surrounding while having an amazing dinner and lovely people around you. I do believe it is called the halfway house now.. but whatever it’s called, it was GREAT!!

15/03/2026: On maps said it is open. However it was closed. Sunday 14:00

27/12/2025: My daughter & I visited the Quays bar today & had food that was reasonably good. Unfortunately the place was absolutely filthy, our shoes were sticking to the floor. Toilets were disgusting & absolutely filthy with no toilet roll & when we asked we were told there was none. I dread to think what the kitchen was like.

16/10/2025: Noisy, very local, good atmosphere

04/08/2025: This place is nice, and the food and coffee are great. However, the only thing that really lets it down is the customer service. It felt like the staff assumed that because the shop is busy, they don't need to be polite or accommodating. While I was sitting and enjoying my coffee, I was repeatedly asked if I was finished and if they could take the cutlery. Even after I had finished and handed over my cup, I sat for a few more minutes — only to be questioned by the staff about whether I had even ordered anything. Apparently, the manager saw me sitting without a coffee on the camera and sent someone over to ask for my receipt. The food and coffee here are amazing, but the customer service is honestly the worst I’ve ever experienced.

02/08/2025: Ante todo diré que el café está bien. El servicio puede mejorar y la organización también. No dejaron subir a mi mujer a la terraza de la planta superior hasta que no tenemos la consumición en la mano, y tuvimos que hacernos una hora de cola, porque en Bray había un evento de las Fuerzas Aéreas. No tiene sentido porque arriba hay gente que no está consumiendo nada desde que nos sentamos. Precio-calidad-organización, si cabe mejorable.

08/08/2025: Dined on Friday at lunch and had a very pleasant experience. Food and service excellent. Well done to all. Lovely ambiance.

15/07/2025: Awful experience. The manager, a blonde lady, got confused with me and other man. I am now “barred” as I am bald and look some way look like a man who spiked a drink and who this establishment says “caused trouble”. They will no longer serve me or when I brought my mother. I recommend you drive on to Avoca. At least the service will be fair.

11/01/2026: Went for tapas on Christmas work night out. Gorgeous

07/01/2026: The place is okay. We paid €200 a night for 2 people, which is a lot, but understand, given there was a wedding and Country Arms Birr was fully booked, and it was NYE. Still, it was quite a shocking price—but then again, Ireland. It's expensive for what it is, but that's the nature of supply and demand, as they say. We stayed in the front room, and the traffic noise was really bad. Worse than that, the heating in the room was off, and we couldn’t find anyone to help us, so there was no solution, and it was freezing. We woke up with the heat on in the morning. It also has a breakfast with it, Irish fry up. It's okay.

05/10/2024: this goes to show how personal taste is, I saw one of the few bad reviews complaining that the polled pork wrap was tasteless, when I absolutely loved the flav or explosion it provided imho. it wasn't too salty, but instead had a lof of juicier flavor component blended together so well, that I struggle to name them. it was also a very good sized dish and came with 3 salads all of which were good, and I wish I could ask for the kale quinoa salad recipe (I am usually not a fan of Q or uncooked K but OMG soo good and light). yes I understand that it is a to go place and thus the cutlery is wooden, I honestly wish it would have been wooden chopsticks which would have made eating easier. I LOVED it . If I lived in the athlone region we would be regulars.

04/10/2024: If you traverse the country and need a food break, or just are lucky enough to live in the area, this place is AMAZING. yes it is nestled into a very utilitarian space but it has roofed outdoor possibilities in addition to the few cozy seats and a good restroom. But the FOOD..the food is just amazing. I had a wrap with 3 salads. And in addition to them being sooo good (but yes quite spicy) I can tell they are designed to hold up the "leftover" time periods of take out, which is rare in salads..also..a kale salad with quinoa that tasted good and LIGHT?? Amazing. If I lived in Arhlone this place would be at the top of my regular rotation for take out. Soo good. Thank you for feeding ne so well.

28/10/2025: Always forgets a part of an order usually drinks or a side , rang them to say my prawn crackers were not in my bag from getting a delivery I was told over the phone “well there only prawn crackers” if I pay for something I expect to get it

02/08/2025: they kneecapped me for doing a jackie chan impression
