The best restaurants in Kildare

16/05/2025: Coke missing. Dry chicken, tasteless Satay sauce. Charged fir two rice's.

05/03/2025: It’s a lovely place. Food is amazing there and taste unreal. Staff are always kind and lovely. Chelsea one of their staff members is so kind, attentive and always willing to go above and beyond for you to have a good time there.

05/03/2025: Great security and staff, especially Chelsea! 😌

18/06/2025: To be honest i have never eaten such a tasty and good pizza anywhere in ireland plus the services are quite fast and the staff are great and especially for home deliveries no pizzeria brings you the food so fast and in perfect condition. I recently moved to the area and i order almost 2 times a week it is really great I recommend you go and try the food.

03/05/2025: Only order from Paprika if you are a glutton for punishment and despair. Or maybe you enjoy food that is somehow both raw and also overcooked. The burger was rock hard to the point where if I threw it like a frisbee it would come back to me. I also asked for no onions and they gave me every onion they had left. The dough on the battered sausage was basically raw. If your gut tells you not to order from Paprika, I implore you to listen to it. Don’t make the same mistakes that we all made.

02/06/2025: Had a late lunch here and it made our day. It’s not easy to find a place in rural Ireland that does food and ambient surroundings as well as this. Each dish was incredibly well presented, fresh grown produce from their garden, the taste was sublime and the staff organised, professional and friendly. Decor is really well done too. Our dogs were welcomed- quite rare in Irish eateries in our experience. We’ll be back and will be bringing friends and family.

29/05/2025: Avoid. We arrived for 1.15 lunch and were not offered water or menu. At 1.50 we looked for waiter and asked for some service. It was plain to see staff were severe pressure. When food did come, some of the meat was completely raw. Burger was like jelly inside and chicken was pink. It's my second and last time to dine there. Last time was just as bad, but I decided not to leave review as maybe it was a once off. I don't like to ever leave a negative review but this place is a joke.

08/02/2025: Excellent cocktails and ambience, you’ll wait for the cocktails but they’ll be worth it…

25/01/2025: This was my first time eating at Donatellos. I usually avoid Italian food as it is dairy- and wheat-intensive, both of which I have intolerances to. I need not have worried. Donatellos had a vegan menu and a vast range of wheat-free alternatives and went through them over the phone with me in advance. The chargrilled vegetable starter was delicious, as was the mushroom risotto for main. To top it all, the dessert was a rare find for me - a gluten-free and vegan chocolate tart which was heavenly. Service was friendly and efficient and members of staff were well versed in allergens etc. My friends had various pizzas, pasta al mare dishes etc. and all enjoyed their choices. The décor is lovely and there's a good ambience. I'm looking forward to returning.

29/05/2025: Terrible place. Getting my food and told it was cash only. No indication anywhere that they are a cash only place. Food is nothing special on top of that. Don't go there.

21/05/2025: It’s against the Law to only accept Cash and not card

19/03/2025: Slow delivery and cold pizza. Do not order.

13/06/2025: Loving the new loyalty app, lots of free stuff and rewards. Food great as always. We got tenders, pizza and burgers and they were all lovely.

12/06/2025: Order useing there QR table code . Waiter can down ask did we order yes thru QR code Waited 15mins Ask about order said don’t have it. Went down to Abbey lodge bar good food

23/06/2025: Very relaxing food top quality very professional service

06/05/2025: The waitress (she looked Indian) has not smiled once to me or a table nearby, but she was all smiles to her boss when he was passing by! It was a chilly service, all polite but lacking warmth and care. The food was underwhelming. The wings were not crispy, you could peel fat from them and cost double than some of my favourite wings in other restaurants. The special of seafood pasta (penne) in rich tomato sauce made me feel like I was having a kids menu and it left my stomach upset for the rest of the day. Overall, bad, “chilly” service (please ask the waitress to smile, we are human beings, not robots) and change your chef! All this experience was certainly not worth 43 euro I paid. I came here for a treat after a spa morning. I will avoid this restaurant in the future.

03/07/2025: I was there today and I ordered from Beatrice and within SECONDS my food was in my hands with napkins and a little box and everything that you could ever want. FANTASTIC SERVICE!!

22/04/2025: Friendly staff, ladies always smiles.

21/05/2025: Quick service..quality of food questionable..cash only ?? Would not eat from here again..

29/01/2025: Best battered sausage and pizza in the country

24/01/2025: Left uncomfortable on 2 separate occasions as staff started fighting with each other infront of customer. On a following occassion staff treated me very rudely , embarrassing me and arguing with me infront of customers about my order. The owner initially apologised for it, acknowledged his staffs problematic behaviour. Went back two days ago and after i ordered the owner took back his apology.....I've never in my life met the level of poor customer care and unprofessional behaviour in any chipper, that I have met in this establishment. If you want to chance being treated inappropriately, upset & embarrassment or subjected to observing staff fighting..this is the place to go.... disgusted and upset with how I've been treated and don't wish this on anyone. They've lost me and my family as customers

23/07/2025: The sides used to be really nice here. Wings were unbreaded and essentially made fresh. Same with wedges - used to be real potatoes. Now both seemingly come from a frozen pack. Even spar wings and wedges would beat the crap out of them now. Staff are great and pizzas are still awesome. No point ruining the good pizzas and service with sub par sides 🤷‍♂️

10/07/2025: Shocking place in Maynooth. Was good up to about a year ago but the place has clearly focused on cheap ingredients, inexperienced low paid staff rather than hiring well. Portion sizes have reduced dramatically. Place doesn't even have Ketchup.

26/06/2025: Cozy and original, the first things that comes to mind when I think of a pub in Ireland.

21/06/2025: The staff is so rude. I don’t think she like her job.
