Spice Waves
Bundoran
20/03/2025: Excellent food, great staff and great service! Hands down the best Indian food that I have tried and my favourite place to eat out in this part of Donegal.
18/03/2025: We were visiting bundoran for a weekend and decided to go to this restaurant for dinner after reading the reviews. But we were utterly disappointed. The food was terrible and overpriced. The biryani and chicken chettinad is nothing like the original dish. The chicken and rice in biryani seemed like cooked separately, it lacked the original flavours of the dish and they don't serve it with the raita like it is supposed to be, and chicken chettinad was just very sour. Mango lassi didn't taste like mango at all, it had ruafza in it. The sizzling platter had one samosa with cold stuffing in it. We waited for an hour for the food to arrive. But the food was so bad that instead of being extremely hungry we could only have few spoons. There was only one waitress who was serving all the tables. She was doing her best but she was definitely overworked and tired. The tables were dirty, the tissue and cutlery was passed in a very unhygienic way. Upon asking the feedback by their waitress we gave an honest feedback, but the chef Sayed came to our table was very rude and insulting. He said this is not indian style biryani, then why does the restaurant say it's a Indian restaurant? He started arguing and yelling. The manager never showed up to talk or to sort the situation. She simply ignored all the mess and yelling from their staff and no one acknowledged or apologised for his behaviour. If you cannot take the feedback then why bother to even ask?Worst experience ever.

Chandpur
Donegal
21/03/2025: Excellent experience! We didn’t have a reservation and the place was packed, but the staff managed to seat us and were so accommodating. Vindaloo was spicy and delicious, and the naan amazing. Great dinner in Donegal.
17/03/2025: We have been here 4 or 5 times and have always had a lovely meal with good service. We returned last night and had a nice meal again but just a couple of things we noticed have changed. The set menu which we had was 5 euros more than advertised on your website ( need to update this ) and we found the quality of the dips to have changed eg. Lime pickle very watery and bland and raita/mint yoghurt had a sweetness to it. A good meal all the same.

Chilli Shaker
Letterkenny
17/02/2025: Arrived 640pm on a Thursday night place quite busy, had set menu at 16.95 euro , which included starter main tea/coffee also included portion of poppadoms and nan bread. Took advantage of bottle of house wine at 14.50 which was good for house wine. Surprisingly food all served promptly as place was busy , staff polite and professional, starters excellent, definitely recommend the chicken shashlik kebab and the rest of the food good value for price The restaurant clean and had a nice atmosphere would definitely return.

Shapla Indian Cuisine
Letterkenny
02/01/2025: **Disappointing Experience**
We ordered takeaway from Shapla on the 31st of December, and I regret to say the service was unacceptable. When I called to place the order, I asked the person on the phone to give me a moment to get the Airbnb address. Instead of being patient, he told me to call back when I was ready and ended the call abruptly. When I called back with the address, he struggled to hear me and repeatedly moaned in frustration, even though I repeated myself several times.
When the delivery driver arrived, I couldn’t tell if it was the same person or not, but the attitude was just as unpleasant. We told him to give us a second while we grabbed the cash for our €90 order, and he sighed, placed the food on the ground, and snatched the money rudely before walking away without a word.
As for the food, the quality was equally disappointing. I found a hair in the food, the rice was unsalted, the chips were cold, and the butter chicken tasted like leftover curry sauce from the day before. The only redeeming item was the naan bread, but even that was overly doughy.
I understand it was New Year’s Eve and a busy time, but this does not excuse such poor service and attitude. Customer service is crucial in the restaurant industry, and sadly, none of that was evident during our experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone, and I hope the management takes this feedback seriously to improve both their food quality and their attitude toward customers.
21/12/2024: This seems to have turned into a "Just Eat" takeaway, whereby they have diners eating in, but don't really need them. The door banged endlessly due to deliveries, but waiter blamed the wind. Loud phone ringing constantly due to people calling up to order takeaways. Restaurant was not warm enough for
dining in. Food was very ordinary, but the nan was nice. Overall, not a pleasant experience at all.

Shapla Indian Restaurant
16/08/2024: Staff really unpleasant and didn't seem to want to help out. To busy dealing with the deliveries. This looked more important than offering good customer service. The onion starters came out burnt and rock hard. Asked for water and the staff wasn't att all happy. Poored water on table and floor
Never tried to clean it up.
20/04/2024: Best Indian we have ever eaten at. We travel from derry on a regular basis just to get this and have done for years. Food is amazing and staff are always very friendly and helpful and lovely. Great quality for money. Can't fault it. Will always be our fav.
