The best restaurants in Portarlington

29/03/2026: I used to be a very loyal customer of Costa Portarlington but now going forward never again I will go back and support this business after today. I went in today and went to go to the counter to get a coffee and scanned my Costa app on my phone and the staff member (her name Sakunrat) told me the item I was getting was free today as I had a coupon. Now I began to question her why did I have a coupon as they never normally give out free drinks just like that, and she didn’t explain to me and told me it was free. So I completed the sale and asked for a receipt just to make sure but little of my knowledge the only reason why it was free because she used it against all of my loyalty card points. I was unaware of this and neither would’ve I consented for this to happen as I was saving up those points for a day I might need them. I was left in absolute distraught and anger after this had happened. I was a very loyal customer of Costa Portarlington and I will assure you I will never support this business anymore until this disgusting behaviour is sorted.

27/02/2026: I would give them no star if I could. Let say that one "star" is for them, helping me to go look for another coffee shop in town which went really well. The dark hair Polish staff was very rude and unprofessional. I WON'T go there again.

25/03/2026: Good value and quick delivery. The kebab could be better quality but it's not bad.

22/02/2026: Got a “so called” chicken tikka kabab to break my fast today as i was running late for home. If you guys think boiling chicken and drowning it in some sauce makes it a chicken tikka, you guys really need to learn a thing or two about cooking. And this comment is coming from a guy who was fasting for 12 hours ( no food or drink) and your food was still unbearable.

07/05/2026: I don’t understand how this place is still open, food has completely gone downhill the last few years. If you order a delivery the food seems to be worse than in person.

21/02/2026: I’m extremely disappointed with the service and professionalism. I’ve ordered from here often for myself and my parents, and the food has usually as described . However, my most recent experience was unacceptable. I placed an order through Just Eat for a make your own pizza for me and my dad. I selected a couple vegetables, which included peppers. When the pizza arrived, it had pepperoni on it. As both of us are vegetarians, we could not eat it at all. I called the restaurant to explain the issue. The staff member then handed the phone to the manager, who raised his voice and repeatedly insisted the mistake was my fault, claiming I had ordered over the phone. I clearly explained multiple times that the order was placed online through Just Eat. He repeatedly asked for my name and order details but continued to insist I had called it in. It took several minutes before he finally acknowledged that the order had been placed online, but by then he had already spoken to me in a very disrespectful and unprofessional manner, raising his voice at me. This situation caused me significant distress, especially as I was ordering on behalf of my father, who is not confident speaking English. I am writing this review a couple of months after the incident because I was very upset at the time and was worried about the review being linked back to me and affecting my parents’ ability to order from there in the future. The experience was very stressful and left a lasting negative impression. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that situations like this are handled more respectfully in the future. Mistakes can happen, but listening to customers and resolving issues calmly makes a real difference. Based on this experience, I would not recommend ordering if you expect accountability or respectful customer service.
