The best restaurants in Carlow

18/07/2025: Fui a una comida familiar 3 A 3 K, me decepcionó mucho el tamaño de la porción. Me sirvieron 2 cucharadas de arroz frito, donde todos los demás recibieron una porción individual de arroz hervido o fideos fritos. Tener que pagar más por arroz frito pero que te sirvan una porción de la mitad del tamaño del arroz hervido es muy descarado. No se molestará en volver.

26/06/2025: The food is delicious and definitely worth the price.

08/03/2026: Bins overflowing with rubbish. Rubbish on tables. Had to clean our own table. Floor covered in food waste. Staff cleaning windows

06/03/2026: Absolutely amazing service, and food was so yummy

03/03/2026: The room I got was great! It wasn't big but it was clean and cosy and perfect for my one night stay. The receptionist Jessie was great, she was kind, helpful and polite. The bar and wait staff in the bar area are brilliant, they were professional, polite, over all 100% legends. Food was good and given a great portion, loved the cutlery, dessert was delicious and everything was reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend

18/02/2026: didnt let me in for a drink because I was wearing joggers, went Tully's instead was miles better. Avoid this place

31/07/2025: Stopped for a coffee while I had a meeting, staff were very nice, coffee was decent and had a little treat. It’s a big enough space that you can find a quiet spot to work and have a coffee.

21/07/2025: Great spot for meeting people. Always a good stir in it

18/02/2026: Got a spice box tonight, no spice on it. Says shop is opened till 11, went in at 10.40,if you didn't want to see a spice box should have said yous where closing. Won't be back again.

18/02/2026: Absolutely amazing experience! The food was incredibly delicious from start to finish. The N7 Burger was outstanding — juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fries were crispy and fresh, and the grilled chicken was tender and tasted fantastic. The ambience was very nice — warm, welcoming, and comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!

26/02/2026: The guy who delivered, likely the owner, was very rude and condescending. We ordered a samosa, pakodas, paneer makhni and South indian garlic chilli chicken. Firstly, they had added INSANE amount of food colouring which is unhealthy and never a good sign.(bright orange paneer dish). Second, the paneer makhni was… SWEET. As someone from India who has grown up eating tandoori dishes, this is a SIN. Third, the potato filling in samosa was undercooked and had NO flavour. Pakodas and South Indian chicken were average at best. Overall, our food experience was horrible and I’m sorry, you are being robbed of good authentic Indian food.

13/02/2026: Lovely food at a reasonable price

07/02/2026: Best chips in bagenlstown. If you like chips with the occasional soft one, and not a bag of hard chips, this is your place. Staff are on the ball. Pre order before you arrive is the best way to get in and out fast. Take out only

24/01/2026: Had one of the nicest chicken breasts from and batter sausage lovely chipper would highly recommend, great options on the menu 2

10/12/2025: Lovely little Cafe, great coffee and Omeletr was just delish!

29/08/2025: Good pizza, but not amazing and very small. €22 for a pepperoni and €2 for a garlic mayo at Electric Picnic. I’m sure there are overheads to pay for the rental spot costs, but insane money for the size and quality! A hard time to be a small business!

09/08/2025: Nicest cappuccino ive ever had from a cafe

27/11/2025: Only had an americano. 3.50€ Very average and watery taste. Not for me.

23/11/2025: Has to be the best coffee around. Its always busy. The coffees from iced latte and chai latte to americano and flat white are exceptional. The sandwiches are really good as are the acai bowls

14/02/2026: I previously reviewed Lemongrass quite high, but after my visit today I have to lower it massively. Such a disappointing visit. Starter came out at regular timing and was delicious, but then we seemed to have just been forgotten for 50 minutes for our mains, despite several members of staff and we think the manager coming up to us to check on us multiple times. This was fine, whatever. Our main finally arrives, noodles were very greasy for my partner so she couldn't finish them, and an extra portion of chips we asked for were forgotten and had to ask for them again, another 5-10 minutes to get those. Once we finished and plates for main taken away, another 15 minutes for desserts to show up. We come to pay and because we were waiting so long they would "only charge us for starters, desserts and drinks". But sure didn't they double charge those so they didn't miss out on too much money? €68 euro for "2" starters, "2" desserts, 1 portion of chips, and 3 drinks (which were just cokes btw, nothing alcoholic that could've possibly bulked up the price). Other people arrived, were served, ate, and left before we got our mains. Can safely say I'm never going here again.

30/01/2026: Beautiful food staff are very friendly and welcoming

11/02/2026: I did not stay in the rooms , but had plenty of pints Lovely staff , very friendly And huge smoking 🚬 area outside , Got a bit cold , 🥶 But one of the better places

30/01/2026: Location was great. Rooms were good. Unfortunately I found the service to be lacking. Tried calling and emailing before my arrival but got no response. Tried knocking on the door too but the same. Eventually got somebody to let me in. I felt like a massive inconvenience rather than a guest.

16/11/2025: First time getting food amd last time , whats the point of putting notes on if they can't read english

02/08/2025: Had a take away and although it took a little longer than estimated. It was definitely worth the wait. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted deliciously authentic! Definitely recommend Will eat in next time...

18/01/2026: Half pounder good Pizza good Battered sausage good Chips ok Chicken stringy

09/01/2026: Unprofessional and inappropriate behavior from staff. Staff yelling across the room and overall environment, not very pleasant.

31/10/2025: We ordered the original doner. My friend didn't like the taste. Another friend actually said it was a pretty good place, so if you don't like lamb or beef like the Turkish ones, where they have minced meat sticks or something like that, you're better off trying other flavors.

26/10/2025: I ordered food for collection and the girl said yes about 15 minutes. When I got there in 15 minutes they kept serving people in front of me. I told the woman behind the counter I ordered my food for collection 15 minutes ago is my food not ready for me to collect? They said they had to serve the people who were there before me first and that is skipping the queue.. I said no that is a collection service and not skipping the queue. I told them that everywhere else offers this service and it is not seen as skipping the queue anywhere else. They said they half cook it as they don't want it to get cold if ppl take too long to collect, but it was very clear to me that they hadn't started cooking at all. This is not a collection service and not very nice to be accused of trying to skip the queue when they never told me they didn't do collection when I called up and asked for that service. It's a pity cause I ike the food but the ordering service is too long so will avoid from now on.
