05/01/2026: Fantastic food and 1st class service, even on a busy night

04/02/2026: Good facilities, freezing and the soft play area is too expensive... and don't bring in a reusable water bottle... it makes them cross! Edit: I've been reading other reviews and it seems Airtastic defends its water bottle policy saying it's standard practise. But it's not standard Airtastic. I was told I couldn't bring in my son's reusable water bottle and was then given tap water in paper cups. Kind of the staff member but what a waste of paper cups! It's unfair on staff who have to give out to people and unfair on confused customers.

03/02/2026: I gave the management of this place the chance to put this right and a week after putting in my complaint they still haven't bothered so I will warn other parents and share our experience here. We booked my son's 10th birthday here last weekend for a lazertag party. My son was picked on and held in the lazertag arena by a member of their staff despite asking to leave as he was very upset. There was plenty of staff available to escort my son to our table which was right outside the door. I was told during my complaint by a manager the normal procedure was for a staff member to allow the children to leave if they request and that she couldn't understand why my son was held inside as there was plenty of staff there at that time. My son panicked and left and came over to our table. He was then followed by the same male staff member who held him back who then directly addressed my son (not me or any other adult at the table) and roared and shouted at him for leaving the arena without his permission. This man then did the same to me when I asked what the problem was. I tried to keep the situation calm because of the children at our table watching and I feared that if I said anything to this staff member he would have more than likely lost control altogether. His behaviour was very aggressive and my son had already been through enough. We were only halfway through the party and still had to eat in the party room. To say I am stunned by the behaviour of this man is an understatement. My son's birthday was ruined by this disgusting behaviour. I can only form the opinion that the management have no regard for the safety and well being of the children under their care as no one has bothered to tell me otherwise. The patronising manger I dealt with named Michelle told me this staff member is on the spectrum and I must have noticed that. Wow is all I can say, as if that makes it ok. That's a disgraceful excuse. If he can't handle children and loses his temper so easily when a child needs to go to their parents then there's a serious issue and he shouldn't be working with children. She had already checked the CCTV and saw how we were approached by this man and has now decided to ignore our complaint despite my calls and messages since we spoke. My son will take a long time to feel safe again after this experience and I would urge any parent thinking of bringing their children here to think twice and look elsewhere.

05/12/2025: Great food and perfect place for people who like to try something new. The vegan options are vast and really happy to see that they also consider glutenfree options. Overall i would give you guys a 5 star rating because i am very satisfied with the food.Also I recently ordered for a delivery from them and it was right on time as well.

03/12/2025: Good food served quickly, big portions and tasty. Pop in until 10 pm. Recommend to everyone

20/12/2025: Food was very good will be visiting again

12/12/2025: Pleasantly surprised that the Spanish and Mexican dishes offered here come very close to the ones you would find in each country. It is so hard to find good Spanish food in Ireland and Picaderos is the place to go. We will definitely go back.

22/04/2025: Nice spot for a break while on The Blueway. Brought the two dogs and sat outside in the garden.

12/12/2025: Lovely coffee and kind staff ❤️

28/11/2025: Good coffee, friendly staff. It’s just take away

17/10/2025: Really nice coffee, probably best in Naas, girl behind the counter who's been serving the last few days, black hair foreign girl (didn't get her name) very nice, pleasant and professional, like all the staff there who do be working there.

13/09/2025: I was looked after by Colm. He was nice, warm and smiled all the time. He was genuine and clarified what I wanted. Thank you for your service e Colm.

05/12/2025: What a dissappointment, i just moved to Newbridge tried this restaurant for a takeaway delivery. They really need to change their chef with an immediate effect as this is worse indian food i have tasted living in Ireland for 20 years. No surprise on Friday night in a festive season not a single table was taken. Never going back again. Avoid it!!!

02/11/2025: Changing my review as whilst it is still great im not sure it is the absolute best between naas and portlaois anymore. Not that it has gone down in quality, just more competition. Some things were missing from my order today but i would not mark them down for this as mistakes happen and this the first time. The biryani i ordered was one the most flavourfull of the places ive tried outside some places in Dublin.

19/01/2026: My husband and I were here yesterday, Sunday. The food was delicious and the service excellent. We'll be back soon!

06/01/2026: Lovely night spent in Donatellos last Saturday night. We were a party of 10 and we were made feel so welcome by every staff member, there was an overall inviting, warm, friendly atmosphere, the food was amazing and service was exceptional. We would highly recommend Donatellos.
