Maharajah Indian Cuisine
Naas legal town
22/10/2025: I got severe food poisoning after eating their food, I ordered their spicy chicken wings and their tandoori masala. The naan definitely looked old but I thought the food would be okay. Not recommended at all
19/10/2025: The best... don't miss it if you love Indian food.. And great background jazz music.. perfect atmosphere.. lovely staff.. It'll be hard to go anywhere else in Naas after this!

The Westgrove Hotel
Clane
10/10/2025: Could be a fantastic venue but needs more attention to attract the customes to come back.
12/08/2025: We've just had our day on the 9th August and couldn't wait to do up a review on our hotel and share it with you all! 🤍
The Westgrove Hotel 🤍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the moment we arrived at the Westgrove Hotel on Friday to check in, right through our wedding day on Saturday, the celebrations on day two, and finally checking out on Monday — everything was beyond perfect. We truly couldn’t fault a single thing.
Our guests have not stopped complimenting the incredible staff, the stunning hotel, the delicious food — absolutely everything was flawless. The entire team went above and beyond to make our special day feel magical.
To the wedding coordinators — Lorna and Lydia — we cannot thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us over the past 2.5 years since booking our wedding. As soon as we met Lorna, we instantly knew this was the place we wanted to say “I do.” She is warm, genuine, and such a lovely person. Then Lydia joined the wedding team, and honestly, she’s just as amazing — bubbly, kind, and so genuine. No matter how big or small our questions were, they always had time for us and answered everything with a smile.
The week leading up to the wedding was filled with last-minute changes and potential stress, but for Lorna and Lydia, it was like a walk in the park. Their calm, professional, and positive approach made all the difference.
We also want to give a special mention to James — what a star! From hosting our dinner and drinks with family and the bridal party the night before, to looking after us at our day two event, nothing was ever too big or too small. He went above and beyond and did an amazing job at every turn. And also our bar man, Tom - who was pouring drinks all night long and for the whole second day! Loads of compliments from our guests about James & Tom 🤍
A huge thank you as well to Bonnie, the manager, who is genuinely the nicest manager we’ve ever come across anywhere. She regularly came to check on us — whether to see if we needed anything or simply to make sure we were happy. Her warmth and attention meant so much to us during our stay.
To every single member of staff we encountered — thank you from the bottom of our hearts 🤍 You all made our wedding weekend the most incredible, unforgettable experience of our lives. If you’re considering this venue for your big day, don’t hesitate — you’ll be in the safest, kindest, and most capable hands imaginable!
With all our love,
From the new Mr & Mrs, Simon & Gemma Lee 🤍

Top Nolan's
Kildare
18/10/2025: We stopped here for a nice Guinness in a unique pub atmosphere. The pub was lovingly decorated, with lovely little seating areas and an atmosphere reminiscent of the good old days. The parlor door was also a highlight, and the fireplace in the far corner made the pint taste twice as good.
13/08/2025: Lovely little pub. We sat out front and soaked up the sun with a few drinks 🍻

Cook's Cabin
Newbridge
05/09/2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (for the chicken burger)
The chicken burger was absolutely delicious and the highlight of my visit-juicy, flavorful, and well worth it. I also tried the cheese & garlic fries along with the fried chicken, but those fell short as they were quite greasy and had a hint of old cooking oil. That said, the menu has some great value options, and the pricing on certain dishes is a real steal. The staff were friendly and kind, and it was convenient that they accepted Revolut payment when I didn’t have cash on hand.
16/08/2025: Fantastic taco chips around.
Great portions for the price and the crispy chicken is fantastic here.

Donatello's Restaurant
Maynooth
16/10/2025: Came here on a recommendation by the man at Equestrian World and it is a 10/10 recommendation. Delicious bread! Warm butter!! Server was boss lady in the best way!! Ordered the spaghetti arrabiata (medium) was delicious. Also had bianco and Neapolitan pizzas, both were raved about as well. Can't go wrong when needing something other than traditional Irish.
09/10/2025: Came to meet my son after he finished University for some pasta here.We had no reservation for a Wednesday evening but the place was very busy and they duly accommodated no fuss at all. The food /desert were absolutely divine, lovey vibrant restaurant with very helpful and warm staff, we will most definitely be back. Splendido 👌

Firecastle Kildare

11/10/2025: Everything was amazing. I was with a group of 16 people we have arrived late and we all managed to eat very fast. I really enjoyed this place and its pizza.
14/09/2025: Great little spot with amazing cinnamon rolls and coffee. The food from the deli wasn't heated too well but other than that, it is really a great spot.

Canteen Celbridge
Celbridge
03/11/2025: Love the option to check-in at a machine, the cafe in the lobby, and the complimentary water bottles in the room. The common areas are great, very nicely decorated and quite "hip" seeming. There are several elevators that move very quickly, in my four days/three nights stay, I never once had to wait more than a couple seconds for an elevator. The Cozy King Room was very comfortable with a big comfy mattress and nice-sized bathroom. The entire room could've used a deep clean, there was significant mold on the bathroom ceiling around the pot lights and some marks on the wall. The sprinkler on the ceiling was coated in half a centimeter of dust, as was the area behind the TV. I will also note that the room is hardly sound proof, and I was woken up in the mornings by cleaning staff in the neighbouring rooms running vacuums and knocking into walls. I was also woken up by guests speaking in the hallways, not particularly loudly, or music from the bar downstairs (I'm guessing the bar downstairs because I didn't see any bars on the same street corner which could've been producing that much noise). With that said, I enjoyed my stay and would stay again, but do be warned about noise in case you're a light sleeper. I would also love to thank the receptionist Cindy, who picked up the phone when I could not get the Chromecast in my room to work. She tried to help me over the phone, but when I could not get it running, she came up to my room within a minute and helped me get connected. I was seriously impressed by how quickly she was able to help me and how professional she was.
04/08/2025: Perfect location. Hotel is clean

Brown Bear
Ladytown
22/08/2025: We chose the restaurant through the Michelin guide, looking for a place to dine while breaking up the journey from Cork to Dublin. The restaurant is very local and, given its location, not frequented by tourists. The atmosphere is very welcoming, starting from the outdoor area and the beautiful wooden counter at the entrance. The wait staff is extremely courteous and professional (we met a Sardinian woman who has lived there for 20 years!). The cuisine is enjoyable, starting from tradition but veering towards contemporary, with some forays into other cuisines (Spanish, South American, and Asian). The three dishes we ordered were all balanced and delicious. The quality/price ratio was fair. A wonderful experience!
10/08/2025: Great variety of food, well served.

Scón
Naas legal town
19/06/2025: Have ordered scones from here a few times now and previously was delighted with everything. Most recent order (and the first one made in awhile) was not great, the scones are now packed in plastic which meant they were a little “squidgy” and damp maybe they were packed while still slightly warm. They had also been shaken a lot in transport so 2 of six were completely broken. They tasted nice but I think I’ll stick to visiting the store where possible
04/05/2025: Heard about this through colleagues and got a selection for my parents ,amazing selection ,great tasting and superb delivery service ,would highly recommend and will order again.
