Gallaghers Sports Bar
Fermoy
15/07/2024: Hard to call this a “sports bar” when they aren’t playing the euros final, and refused to when I asked due to “poor internet”, despite the fact that youtube was playing perfectly fine on the tv. Woman behind the bar uninterested and probably lied so they could go home.

Maxol Service Station Navan Road
Dublin
26/07/2025: The staff themselves are friendly if you are a local, but the owner is incredibly rude. Constantly ushers school kids out of the shop after school if they aren’t buying anything. Shouted at me once because I was “spending too much time looking”. He has a vendetta against the students that come from the nearby schools, as at the time I was wearing a school uniform. Constantly rude and patronising and often sexist. Other than that, I don’t mind it.

Bombay Palace
Castlerea
18/01/2025: We went to this restaurant tonight for a long overdue Indian meal, first impressions were good, the decor was nice and everything looked very clean.
We were told that our table was by the window and was round, but if we wanted a different table we could change, we weren't shown to our table or made to feel overly welcome, but we didn't mind, the restaurant was warm, and quiet at the time and we were happy with the window seats.
The young lady who was serving and seemed to be the only waiting staff was pleasant and friendly, she brought menus and took our drink orders.
We perused the menu which was quite small and not a lot of choice, but the basics were there, to my disappointment there were no karahi dishes listed, I was really looking forward to enjoying my favourite dish, but had to decide on something else, we decided to order poppadoms and dips for starters, which turned out to be approx 7 quarter size poppadoms and a teeny tiny shallow 2 inch bowl of onion salad, definitely not enough for 3 people (I did ask our waitress if we should order more than 1 between us and she said no) and a bit miserable considering that they were just under 5 euros, this was very disappointing as I was expecting at least three dips, just the standard cucumber raita, some mango chutney and onion salad, I would have happily paid a bit extra if these were provided, but my usual Indian restaurant provides poppadoms and 3 dips gratis and serve them immediately on arrival.
For the main I chose lamb bhuna, whilst my two companions ordered chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka jalfreizi respectively, we ordered 2 servings of pilau rice, 1 garlic naan and 1 plain naan
The waiting time for the main to arrive was considerable, but not to the point of complaining. The portions when they arrived were decent and the naan breads were beautiful. My bhuna was so so, but I wasn't blown away, there was a fragrance to it that I haven't experienced before, and although it didn't stop me enjoying the meal, it certainly didn't add to my enjoyment, I would have preferred if whatever was used to add such fragrance was left out, the naan was delightful though and the rice was cooked to perfection.
I tried some of the chicken tikka jalfreizi and it was nice but again I wasn't blown away by it. I didn't try the tikka masala but my friend enjoyed it and said it was good.
The ladies toilet was spotless clean and overall I had no qualms about the general aesthetics of the restaurant, but I think a bit of effort could be made with some music playing and a more welcoming atmosphere, I certainly didn't feel inclined to stay any longer than we did, but probably would have ordered coffee and dessert had there been a good atmosphere.
I appreciate that we arrived at tea time on a Friday evening, and they were clearly busy with takeaway orders, but I was expecting a bit more authenticity, as I am used to eating at Indian restaurants where that would be standard.
I terms of value for money, I would say it was fair to middling, but no more than that. 1 portion of poppadoms and 3 main meals, plus 1 can of Fanta and 2 sparkling waters for just under €80 is not unreasonable, but they really let themselves down with the poppadom starter and lack of atmosphere.
Would I go back again? Probably not, I can travel slightly further and spend less for a much more authentic Indian meal experience and a friendlier vibe, albeit maybe not as aesthetically pleasing at my regular Indian restaurant, I would sacrifice aesthetics for the enjoyment of a truly Indian experience, with very friendly staff who treat their clients like visiting royalty over the blandness of bombay palace any day of the week.
18/01/2025: Not what I was expecting after reading other reviews, I eat a lot of Indian food and cook this type of cuisine very well myself, so my expectations were high.
On arrival we were asked to wait 2 minutes, and then told that our table was the round one by the window, we weren't shown to our table and had to wait for a few minutes before the waitress arrived with the menus, so our first impressions weren't great.
The food was mediocre, nothing special about it, I didn't particularly enjoy my lamb bhuna, but the rice and naan bread, which are both extra as you don't get a side with the main meal were nice.
There was only one girl serving in the restaurant floor and they were clearly busy with takeaway orders, so the service fell below my expectations, as did the atmosphere which was bland and quite boring, no background music and overall a feeling of just eat and leave, there was a about the restaurant to make us want to linger any further than the main meal, so we didn't order dessert or coffee.
The starter of poppadoms with dips was a bit of a joke, I specifically asked if we should order one each, but our waitress said one would be enough. I couldn't believe what came out to us, a few pieces of poppadom and one teeny tiny miniscule bowl of onion salad, nothing else, no chutney, cucumber yoghurt etc. For a fiver I would have expected at least enough to enjoy the poppadoms with, however we ate most of them dry because we were so hungry. My usual Indian restaurant serves a large portion of poppadoms with 3 dips and it's complimentary, arriving to the table very quickly after being seated.
Overall the experience was nothing special, the decor was lovely and everything was very clean, the fact that the building was a post office once upon a time is a big plus and adds to the aesthetic charm, but the food was average and the pricing a little over the top for what you get.
I would be reluctant to go back, unlike my usual Indian restaurant which I love for the friendly staff, excellent food and authentic atmosphere.

Rage Restaurant
20/06/2024: Mi marido y yo, y amigos, habíamos sido grandes partidarios de este restaurante, ya que nos encantó la comida, el servicio, la comodidad. Justo antes de la Navidad de 2023 , mi hijo y mi hija nos compraron cada uno un vale por 100 Euros. Por enfermedad, no salimos muy a principios de 2024 , y decidimos utilizar los vales cuando nuestro hijo vino del extranjero en abril de 2024 . Sin embargo, nos quedamos atónitos cuando leímos el artículo de Lucinda sobre el cierre del restaurante, un par de semanas antes de nuestra visita prevista. No puedo entender cómo la gente del restaurante vendió los vales, uno el 16 de diciembre de 2023 y el otro el 24 de diciembre de 2023. Seguramente sabían que no estarían operando en 2024? Estábamos enfermos por esto.

Amber Grill
Dublin
03/11/2024: Pedí comida en línea y 60 minutos después sonó para que nos dijeran "lo siento, estamos ocupados, vamos a llegar a usted a continuación" Luego descubrí que este Chipper tiene ahora nuevos propietarios, esto explica por qué todo sabía diferente la vez anterior y las patatas fritas estaban frías. No volveré a pedir.
