25/09/2026: Recommended by our hosts at Shannon Breeze we had evening meal. My wife had Penne she said it was very peppery and could not eat it. I ordered Chicken curry with naan bread and boiled rice, what I received was a vegetable curry with a few cubes (6) of chicken a half of pitta bread and boiled rice. Chicken curry ? Onions ,chopped Tomatoes, Potatoes diced, Marrow I think, Three quarters of the meal was veg.All I got from waitress was Sorry. But not her fault. Awful.

02/11/2026: Vegan food was delicious. I even got a doggie bag(actually a pizza box) without asking him.....( the manager?) , as he silently left the box beside my lap and said nothing.......... And walked away..... thank you for the box.... but please say " here you go " or something!!! We were ignored alot by staff. Waited a long time to get seated so I just helped myself and read menu myself. Whilst standing ( waiting to be seated). One man ( the manager,? ) was shouting alot on his mobile phone / phonecall ( in Turkish?) very loud beside us . He could have gone outside . Blonde girl waitress was actually nice, but the brown hair girl waitress( ponytail) was a bit rude and ignored me when I say goodbye. Yes, it was loud with screaming kids,( not staff fault), But staff smashing cutlery right behind me , and a very loud TV with a football Liverpool match ( probably forced by Liverpool fans/customers)so that's probably not staff fault. The food was delicious, but staff were a bit odd / rude/ lazy , a bit too relaxed, didn't feel like restaurant felt like we were in someone's house( un-invited) maybe it's just Sunday staff are a bit too relaxed/ lazy / tired , I don't know, maybe the staff are better during the week. Who knows. It was my first time inside ( because winter) . Normally I sit outside in the sun in summer. I might go back again to see if any improvement.

29/10/2026: Food was outstanding with excellent staff. Highly recommended.
