22/04/2026: It has been a while since we last got a take away and we loved Camile as our first one back. 😋

19/07/2026: This is easily our favourite takeaway in the area! The food is always great and the staff are so friendly. We especially like the onion bhaji, butter chicken and methi gosht (lamb). 10/10 always

14/06/2026: The food here is absolutly amazing. I have being ordering for years and any dish I have ordered here has been delicious. I have ordered from other Indian take aways and I must say this one beats them all. The staff and the delivery service is first class. I would recomned the Tikka Masala or the Butter Chicken.

24/03/2026: What can I say? It's been four weeks since we went to this taste bud prison. We still can't believe it. First of all, almost all of us ordered "tenders" for €10. FIVE TENDERS!!!!!!! I'M OUTRAGED. The tenders were as dry as the Sahara Desert and as small as a fetus. And let's not even talk about the extremely slow service, even though there were only about six of us in the restaurant. The €5 fries were just as traumatic. Sincerely, Lucie, Lucas, Joffrey, Garance, and Kathleen. (and Lilou) 😁

09/03/2026: Great as usual. Busy there on a Saturday but worth the wait.

02/07/2026: Came here with my son,with no reservation and we were made to feel extremely welcome. The staff are really nice.our food was delicious and just very tasty.we really enjoyed our evening here and would highly recommend.

18/07/2026: Really really liked my experience here, 5/5, 10/10. I was eating by myself and got a really great treatment by 2 waiters, great service. Also the food was just amazing. And they were fine of making an exemption for me, which I always appreciate very much. Many thanks for a great meal!

16/07/2026: A place to taste the good atmosphere of Irish pubs, and a Guinness, if you have one, make sure it's down your throat.

21/06/2026: We had a bad experience at this hotel. Our room's window was open before we arrived, it was above the bar, and smoke from the bar patrons filled our room. We were told there were no other rooms available. Additionally, the room was dirty and the shower didn't function properly. The buffet breakfast was good. I'm glad we were there only one night.

13/06/2026: As we arrived very late and left after an excellent breakfast we are looking forward to our next stay this year so we can enjoy everything the Carlton has to offer. Our stay, short as it was, brought our 5 day holiday in Belgium to a lovely end enabling us to relax, have a great sleep and breakfast before heading North.

07/07/2026: We had an incredible dinner at The Saddle Room! After spending 2 weeks traveling in Ireland, we had lots of great food. This meal was definitely the best! Our server Ellen was so sweet and attentive. She gave great recommendations and was very kind to our 1 year old daughter. Highly recommended this place for a fancy dinner.

02/08/2026: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of the best meals I’ve had in ages! The small plates idea is brilliant, it meant everyone could share and try lots of different dishes, and I loved that each plate came out as it was ready. It made the whole meal feel really relaxed and meant there was always something new to try. The prawn toast was the best I’ve ever had and honestly everything we ordered was delicious so hard to go wrong. The cocktails were gorgeous too. The staff really made the experience, they were so friendly and chatty, took the time to recommend their favourite dishes and cocktails, and made us feel really welcome from start to finish. Such a fab spot for dinner and drinks with friends. We’ll definitely be back!

01/08/2026: Such a nice modern taken on asian food. such easy service and ordering process. We cam for food, but stayed for drinks, their cocktails had the perfect mix of everything necessary.

10/07/2026: Upon recommendation we attended China Sichuan with family group of 7. Located in Sandyford in a rather unusual and built up location which was an unfished fit of the Celtic Tiger the resteraunt. From the exterior is very understated situated in the ground floor of a high rise apartment block. Parking can be a little tricky here so bare this in mind. Service was excellent from when we entered the door. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed with perfect lighting. This is not your run of the mill Chinese restaurant. Expect to pay handsomely when you come here. The food was absolutely delicious. My son who is a fairly picky eater is unlikely to stop talking about the iberico spare ribs for a long time. I had a little taste of his and I can see why. I tried the lettuce wraps. The taste was perfectly balanced and a perfect light start before My main of ginger and garlic Aubergine... Sublime. Everyone finished there plates and were beaming after the main courses. For 3 course for all but two. 4 alcoholic drinks. 2nteas and coffees it came to 560 euro with a 12% service charge. I would recommend this for a special occasion as it is expensive..however they do have a takeaway a few doors up and if it's anything like the resteraunt I would certainly try this on a more regular occasion. Thanks you China Sichuan for a delicious and memorable meal.

08/06/2026: The food was good and the service was excellent. It was mid week when I went and it was quite

30/07/2026: Whats the story with the baldy head fella with glasses. Being to the pub loads of times great because its pet friendly, we usually stop by for a pint and sit out on our walks but he picks and chooses when he wants to serve us. Just because hes having a bad day and cant take it out on the customers. Got told not today, what do you mean not today we always call in. All the other staff are great and friendly even give the dog water and treats, shame about that sour Man

28/07/2026: Great Irish pub with board games to keep you entertained while you enjoy a pint. Good selection of beers on tap.
