The best restaurants

02/06/2025: We had lunch at Harry’s in the Glenside Hotel recently and left with mixed feelings. The setting was pleasant and the menu looked promising, but the experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. Service was friendly but clearly handled by junior staff who seemed a bit unsure at times – not a major issue, but noticeable. The main letdown was the food: the chicken in the pasta arrabbiata tasted reheated rather than freshly prepared, and lacked the expected flavour punch. The kid’s brownie dessert was dry (and stale?) which was disappointing for something so simple. There’s potential here, but attention to food quality and a bit more training for the team would make a big difference. We may give it another try in the future, but for now, it was just okay.

28/05/2025: We travel a distance to eat here and it never disappoints. Lovely friendly staff, amazing food. Highly recommend the butter chicken or Chicken pomegranate. Mouth watering, good portions and excellent value for money.

27/05/2025: The first time here and we were not disappointed. Excellent food and service...and the owner Mohammed remembered us from 20 odd yrs ago in Belfast...lovely ambient restaurant with lovely staff...highly recommend....

14/03/2024: Nice and quiet place. Clean and friendly.

16/02/2024: Great coffee and all food I've had so far has been amazing. Freshly cooked too. Best place for lunch in clondalkin

05/10/2025: Tasty food, caring staff, and a charming atmosphere. A delightful lunch stop that went above expectations—definitely worth revisiting. Food: We ordered a cheeseburger and the daily special: chicken & ham. For a pub-style burger, it was quite decent. The chicken & ham dish was perfect, though I had to skip the mashed potatoes and stuffing due to dietary reasons, and swapped them for French fries instead. Everything I could eat was tasty and well-prepared. The portion sizes were just right, satisfying without being too heavy. The only slight letdown was that the daily special mentioned “vegetables,” but none were served on the plate. Rating: 5/5 ⭐️ Drinks: We only had water on this occasion, so there’s nothing to comment on here. Rating: N/A ⭐️ Staff: The staff member serving us was excellent, very helpful and attentive to my allergies, even giving recommendations on what to avoid or substitute. Service was quick and friendly. Rating: 5/5 ⭐️ Environment: The place has a cozy and comfortable atmosphere, with soft background music that made it easy to enjoy conversation. Rating: N/A ⭐️ Value for Money: A pleasant surprise! The food quality exceeded expectations for a casual lunch stop. If we’re ever back in the area, we’d happily return. Rating: 5/5 ⭐️ Extras: • There was a wedding taking place at the hotel that day; worth noting if you’re looking for a wedding venue. • There were goats and alpacas/llamas out front, which added a fun and unique touch! (Not sure if they’re meant to be petted, though.) ✅ Overall Rating: 5.0/5 ⭐️ (based on categories rated)

15/06/2025: My wife and I had two of the tofu dishes and they were absolutely delicious. We’d highly recommended for any vegans in Castlebar.

08/06/2025: The whole Sunday lunch experience was absolutely disgusting…..the food was second rate the beef looked like it came form a package in Aldi and was as dry as a Camel’s Gowl …..carrot /peas /lumpy Mash…..coloured water for gravy…..I don’t know how these people can serve up this rubbish and get away with it …I don’t know……battered Garlic mushrooms 5 to be precise for €6.50……..avoid this place at all costs….it overpriced and Tasteless….never ever again

02/01/2026: Cute local pub with a pool table. I played many games with the local kids.

23/08/2025: A very football-themed bar, with a slightly unfriendly waitress. But it's fine to have a drink. This is a nice, spacious bar.
