The best restaurants

19/07/2025: I have been eating in or ordering from this restaurant for many years. It is now under new management and the food unfortunately is not as nice as it used to be. The samosas are now in a horrible thick pastry, and the naan bread used to be thin and charred from the tandoor is now thick and dough like. There is a curry I have ordered for a long time, medium spiced, ordered a take away it was indistinguishable from a korma

23/06/2025: Our family had ordered from this restaurant for close to 20 years, the restaurant has changed hands and as a result the food quality has suffered significantly, the food is basically inedible NEVER again.

16/12/2025: Fantastic location with an easy walk into the town. Plenty of parking. The spacious twin room had an ensuite. Shared kitchen, that was very clean. Would definitely book again.

02/05/2026: Whenever I’m craving a taste of home, I head to this little spot in Ballincollig. It might look modest from the outside, but the food never fails to disappoint. It's the perfect balance of quantity and great taste—easily my favorite Asian kitchen in town.

25/06/2025: No flavour in one dish and other dish was inedible, like it had gone off! All went in the bin. What a waste of 50 something euro!

16/06/2025: Ok for a quick bite.. snack or lunch on the go.

21/02/2026: Not what it used to be. Ordered Singapore fried rice which was €11.50 and always used to be served in large portion. I got a tiny plastic tub the same size as the rice portion for €3.50. Rip off.

20/05/2025: Bad establishment. A big clique full of anti-Irish bullies who don't like real Irish people. They do love fake Irish people though who talk nonsense. Says it all when there own bouncer who back completely for bullying Irish people. Stay clear if you want a real Irish experience go down to the Mansion House or over to the hub much better. Better pints of Guinness and all drinks in general. Overall better service, food, drink and treatment elsewhere.

19/04/2025: Great bar with excellent staff :)

19/06/2025: I'm incredibly disappointed by the way my family was treated at Nando's this evening. We arrived to find no queue and no staff at the door, so we walked in. To our surprise, two staff members then asked us to go back outside and wait, despite there being visible available tables. This was particularly frustrating and felt incredibly arrogant, especially since I had two hungry children with me. As regular Nando's customers, we've always appreciated your service, but this experience was truly terrible and not what we've come to expect.

16/04/2025: I usually never leave reviews but I have to comment on Nick's friendliness and professionalism. Nick was very accommodating, making mine and my family's experience that much more enjoyable. He definitely deserves a promotion!

24/05/2026: Just had a very nice coffee and a particularly nice brown scone after our NCT. Staff were lovely. The place is huge so can be a bit noisy with the TV on. Would return to try lunch as looked lovely.
