The best restaurants in Carlow

19/03/2026: Food tasted like an old boot no flavor absolutely sickened ribs were dry not one bit of flavor of them house special rice had no flavor either and spice bag wasn’t spicy and had no flavor also the prawn crackers were soft

08/09/2025: Ordered 2 portion of Vermicilli noodles and a portion of egg fried rice, only got one delivered along with the egg fried rice witch was black and burned and then the second one came burned as well and every veg on it and piece of chicken was black and the smell of smoke and burned food was to much ! Never again, bin the food you get of them , prices are over the top and for what ? Nothing trust me.

05/08/2025: Nice vegetarian Bento Box, staff are lovely.

22/04/2026: APACHE Portlaoise is the best Apache. I think this Apache could be much better with their pizzas…

12/02/2026: I ordered online, wasn't given an option to set a time to collect my order but for some reason it swtu collection time to 2 and a half hours after I placed the order. I arrived in the lashing rain, not a single staff member in sight for about 5 minutes, finally someone appears and asks if I want to order, I say I'm waiting on an order. He darts back to god knows where. Other customers call out for staff but no one appears. I cannot see any food being prepared. 15 minutes after arriving it's just me there, no staff, no other customers. For 5 minutes I call out to the empty staff area. Finally the staff member returns, I am in a very upset state, saturated, starving and starting to tear up as I ask if my order is ready yet. Immediately the staff member pulls out the order receipt and tells me about the time set,, before telling me it's my fault. I am shocked because I didn't set that time. Suddenly he raises his voice and keeps giving out to me repeating that it's my fault and that I should have told him about the error I didn't know about. He barely lets me get a word in as I try to ask to cancel the order because I don't have the time to wait another however long it will take for him to make my food. I eventually left. I am never ordering there, I am disgusted with the lack basic decency or social skills, I am autistic and even I know not to give out to a crying person. If you want to get pizza in Carlow, Dominos is better.

27/03/2026: It was nice to see this restaurant reopened and the food did not disappoint. There was a good choice of main meals and what I really liked was that my fish was cooked fresh. The service was very prompt and the staff were all lovely. Even a veg bowl for our baby wasn't a problem. The meals were lovely and the kids meals were good value as well.

04/01/2026: Got a panini there was too much sauce in it. Later on in the day i dont feel great either does my partner and we both got chicken tenders. Would not recommend and is an over prices deli

04/04/2026: Food was disgusting, really disappointed as I have been here before and it was nice, but will never be going again. The bag was sopping with oil, and the battered sausages were wet to touch with oil and tasted rancid, completely inedible. Even the chips tasted bad, would like a refund this food had to go in the bin!

06/02/2026: Very ignorant staff drove 20 minutes for food. When got home i realised I was given food with everything they were told not to put on it when contacted the woman on the phone to took the order was very ignorant and tried best not to take the blame

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 .

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

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

05/04/2025: Lovely places for food staff was lovely always so clean lots space fish was so beautiful

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.
