19/07/2025: Excellent experience super yummy food buffet was fantastic!!! Staff are extremely helpful!

18/07/2025: The food was amazing, and the staff are amazing too. Totally enjoyed Ngai's, we will definitely eat their again.

12/04/2025: Staff seem consistently unhappy.

10/02/2025: Realy good coffee and buns staff is really nice 👍🏽🙂 I really recommend this coffee shop

01/07/2025: Delicious food, nice staff, and a wonderful atmosphere.

21/06/2025: We love Indian and this is one of the best we’ve ever had. The onion bhajis were out of this world. We had the lamb acharii which was also absolutely incredible. The staff were very attentive but not overly so, which we liked. Decor is pretty cool. Seriously recommend this place.

23/06/2025: They were late to give my daughter her bday cake were left waiting hours only to be given the wrong cake. Showed no remorse daughter was promised a Taylor Swift cake. Don't even think they bothered making it I think they just chanced their arm. They refunded the money a week later. Too little too late damage wad done. Charged alot for the cake too

26/05/2025: Absolutely awful service would be an understatement. From when we entered everything seemed to be a issue for our server who had a huge attitude problem, continuously rolled her eyes, slammed cutlery etc on the table when asked for some and was just all round extremely unpleasant and unprofessional. There were also issues with food including a fly and it being stone cold along with waiting ages with it all coming out separately and taking up to 40 minutes for some dishes. This cafe has so much potential but our visit was really ruined by our server. As a waitress myself I completely understand the pressures of the job but I have never experienced service as poor in my life. Wouldn’t recommend.

28/06/2025: Great food, pastries and coffee. Lots of parking and a beautiful garden.

21/06/2025: What a delightful place! You are lured in by the beautiful mouthwatering cakes and scones at the entrance, welcomed warmly by staff and sadly we only had room for coffee but it was good coffee!

06/04/2025: Extremely slow service despite the restaurant being practically empty. Took over an hour for the first of the main courses to arrive. Did was ok but not too the standard it used to be at. Will not be returning.

25/03/2025: The atmosphere was amazing. The owner was very nice and the service he provided was superb! We had the veg muncharian and aloo tiki for starters, highly recommend! The lamb rogan josh, lamb nihari and butter chicken were one of the best I have tasted.

02/03/2025: Had a lovely meal here last night with my daughter and my sister whilst staying in kildare town for the night. The food was absolutely gorgeous i had chicken satay very generous portion and the service was brilliant! Would highly recommend ♥️

10/04/2025: Such a beautiful restaurant, food is always amazing along with the staff

09/04/2025: Visited Soul Burger recently and to say it was a disaster would be an understatment. We started with 4 cocktails, big mistake. The margarita was basically just a salt lick in a glass. No balance, no flavour, just straight-up undrinkable and it was the same for 2 other drinks. We sent it back, and somehow they still had the audacity to charge us for the 2 we sent back. It only went downhill from there. Out of 6 meals, 4 were wrong, not once, not twice, but three times. At that point, it felt less like incompetence and more like a joke. Either the staff weren’t paying the slightest bit of attention or they just genuinely couldn’t care less. Funny thing about this situation, it wasn't busy at all with only 4 tables occupied. And then there was the manager, easily the most unprofessional part of the experience. When we politely raised our concerns, she responded with pure condescension and attitude. No apology, no accountability, just dismissive excuses and a smirk like she couldn’t be bothered. Avoid this place like the plague. The service is clueless, the drinks are a joke, and management is downright nasty. Plenty of better spots around that actually know how to treat customers with basic decency.

16/07/2025: Nearly €18 for Goujons meal including local delivery food was ok but the portion size wasn’t great to be honest.

07/06/2025: Good italian fare. Friendly staff. Good food options.

02/07/2025: It used to be good but now it has deteriorated. There is no flavor, no taste. How can chef make the veg pakoras which are not properly cooked . It’s bizzare. Literally, the gram flour is raw inside. If someone is paying for food then can at least expect this much.

17/05/2025: The food here is all delicious and the atmosphere is super cozy. My only complaint is that it's quite stuffy, not enough air.

27/05/2025: Could not be a worse experience. Service was beyond appalling. Male server got the drinks order wrong, even after confirming it with us. No apology just into a huff. Customer service was non existent. Anyways, ordered pulled pork wrap. Absolutely terrible, no flavour, no rub or sauce used. Pork was hard, not shredded or pulled. Stuffed in some dry lettuce, no onion, no jalapeños, no cheese, no beans, no rice. Awful in every way. Place was deserted when we went in. Can see why. Sad

26/05/2025: Excellent from start to finish, the food alone is worth a journey .But the entertainment is the one , along with friendly staff the setup for the bands is amazing . Keep doing what your doing , class!

04/07/2025: The Dubai chocolate was the best that i ever tried *Delicious*

14/04/2025: Very nice cofe. Men who works there, are very welcoming. Coconut latte was amazing.

15/06/2025: Chicken Biryani is good and authentic. 💯 Halal if you’re looking for this option.

11/05/2025: The curries we had were excellent. Would recommend

26/05/2025: Dishwater in a cup. Awful cup of coffee.

16/04/2025: Can't really comment on food but overall it was great the coffee by the river is a great experience
