The best restaurants in Carlow

07/06/2025: Never a bad meal from here and portions are a good size .service is always great very friendly.

04/01/2026: I had the most amazing Szechuan Duck as take away from this place and I can’t stop thinking about it. It was spicy but definitely good. Big recommend. I did take away so cannot say anything about the service.

24/12/2025: Just got food for Xmas eve and hadn't got food there in a while as the beef the last time had a taste off it like it wasn't left to air after being in vacuum pack or was slightly stale but said could happen so would give another chance. Tonight's beef was fine but rice was undercooked, chips were mostly just crispy bits, all 3 ribs (poor portion) were really well done and fell off the bone but dried out and just sauce thrown on. Chicken wings were rubbish. Prawn crackers were just overpowering with prawn and chicken fried rice was plainer than what I'd have thrown together here myself in a few minutes. Paying premium price for a serious lack of effort or care. Rarely give poor ratings; this one is the result of being very disappointed because food like that shouldn't be dished out anywhere if they care about customers.

04/11/2025: By far the best pizza I've had in Carlow, the owner was so friendly too

25/08/2025: Friendly staff . Butger ok. Chips poor and very greasy

26/09/2025: We ordered a 14” pizza with peppers, mushrooms, pineapple, sweetcorn, and onion, a large bag of chips, and a garlic dip. The total came out to be €27.60. When questioned about the price, the lady behind the counter was not impressed, printed the receipt, and threw it on the counter. The pizza itself costed a whopping €21.60. The pizza itself (along with the other food we ordered) wasn’t bad but definitely not worth the price. Our first and last time coming here.

27/11/2025: Avoid this place at all costs When they get things wrong the manager talks over you and gives no apology Awful awful awful experience NEVER AGAIN I

25/11/2025: A good decent supermacs. Very good staff. I was complaining to the lady who served me about the wooden forks used nowadays and she came back to me with a real fork.

16/01/2026: Food arrived stone cold as delivery driver went to incorrect address even tho the pin can be seen where location had to be brought to and address was correct. Had to ring up to sort it now. Waited an hour in the end in the cold outside and when the food finally arrived the pizza was like cardboard by then. Not worth €20 spend of food to arrive so late like this and cold! Very unprofessional

21/08/2025: OMG. Don’t know what’s happening in Apache Carlow. Have ordered many times before and boy has the quality dipped. Ordered the Crazy Jalfrezi. The marketing photos look good but mine looked like someone dumped BBQ sauce all over it. Drizzle…couldn’t be further from a drizzle. The fajita fiesta was marginally better. Again a bit heavy handed with the sauce.

28/11/2025: Good was actually good. Great flavour. Decent enough spice bag!

06/11/2025: Great food, big portions orange roast duck was really good and it's special, never tasted anything like that. Just a really good sauce. Szechuan beef is good as well. My girlfriend said "this is better than cafe 500".

29/09/2025: Visiting from Scotland and Currently eating here with my partner and daughter,foods amazing,locations great and the service is absolutely fantastic,think we’ve found a regular haunt for future visits,thank you very much ladies Hayleigh

28/09/2025: Lady was super friendly and attentive

30/01/2026: This review is purely based on the upstairs canteen. I’m currently studying here and today I got a sandwich and there was two long hairs in it. Every other day the food is not great, watery eggs and the prices are ridiculous considering they are feeding students barely scraping by. Feels more like a money racket that a student support. Staff are nice but overall the food they serve is very poor for the price they charge, they even charge you money for a sachet of ketchup.

21/12/2025: I have visited 4 colleges in four different counties in Ireland and SETU Carlow looks the most modern and classy. Tidy and beautiful environment with a very welcoming international office. I recently graduated from this college and I loved the student experience.

24/12/2025: I rate it A 67 hehehehehehehhehahahahhaha

10/10/2025: Fantastic food, and the staff are always extremely friendly and helpful

10/01/2026: Went out for a family meal and curry was bad tasted like tomato soup with chicken in it wouldn’t recommend going to this place really poor food quality and chicken tasted like it was frozen chicken

04/09/2025: Loved this place! My wife & I were staying in Carlow. My wife loves Indian food, but finds it difficult to find a really spicy curry. I prefer milder dishes. We ordered a vindaloo & a jalefrezi. The food was superb, the staff were friendly & helpful, & the cost was very affordable. Highly recommended .

01/05/2025: I originally had given this restaurant a 5 star review on the back of having been there a number of times. However, having recently returned, I found that this place has dropped a lot in quality and service. I believe it has changed hands/under new management and it would appear to have gone downhill since then. Such a pity, it was a great place to eat and family friendly.

11/04/2025: Unfortunately, food was just ok and that's me being "generous". Service felt like we were back in 90s. Atmosphere was like a nearly closing down place. Huge potential in the right hands,but definitely not into whomever runs it now. I'm not the person to complain and haven't said anything while settling the bill (which was 74 euro for 2 people and not even a "thank you" received). Won't be rushing again to eat here,for sure.

02/12/2025: Paid full price , on 25 % off Tuesday, wouldn't give discount, excuse was there was prawns in mixed byrani. False advertising, the two prawns in the byrani were nice, worth loosing a customer over ?

26/11/2025: Very rude! Tried to tell me I hadn't made an order.. then eventuality admitted their mistake but acted like it was my fault.. food wasn't good and place smelled of burning plastic

25/12/2025: REHEATED chips, what a joke of a chippers. Not even a thank you when paying.

02/09/2025: Maybe a bad time (7pm Tuesday), nobody in.. ordered the 3 piece chicken and chips and curry sauce €13. Must have been yesterday's chips and the chicken carcasses, well oh dear. So don't order that. Total waste.
