Irish Dhaba
Monaghan
11/02/2026: Yesterday I ate a kebab from this place and unfortunately felt very unwell afterward. I experienced nausea throughout the day, and in the evening my temperature rose to 37.7°C. My heart rate also increased significantly (up to 130 bpm), and I had to call emergency services for advice. Thankfully, my condition stabilized later, but it was a very unpleasant experience. I hope the food quality and storage conditions will be carefully reviewed to prevent situations like this in the future.

The Monte Carlo
Monaghan
18/02/2026: The food was absolutely diabolical and very expensive. I got a chicken breast that looked like it was cooked two days previous and kept warm until I got it. I couldn't physically couldn't eat it, it was so hard and over cooked. We also got a tub of coleslaw for €4 that was very poor quality.
Unfortunately we didn't open the food until we got home and therefore couldn't return it.
Definitely will not be going back.

Monte Carlo Take Away
Monaghan
04/07/2026: Dirty, smelly. Food was absolutely disgusting, had to pay 20€, took a bite spit it out and throw it away. The service is nice but the food is very bad
01/07/2026: Good friendly atmosphere, it was during the day when we visited so there was very little wait. We found it a little on the expensive side, fish was dryer than expected and hard batter. Chips were lovely although we asked for vinegar they were literally swimming in it. Still enjoyed it.

Apache Pizza
Monaghan
20/05/2026: I am very unhappy with this delivery service. I had waited over two hours for my delivery to come though. When I ordered I had waited an hour before I rang back and she had mentioend that the wrong number was given so I updated my details. It has been another hour I am waiting and I have not heard a single thing. Aswell as their website is complicated when trying to deliever as they said that dont to my area but as I had called they said they can. I will not be ordering from here again.
19/05/2026: On recommendation I got a Doner Kabeb in Apache Pizza Monaghan.
I just,say it was the WORST Kebab I have ever got.
It was like trying to eat luke warm carboard with a very small drizzle of the sauces. If the amount of sauce had been like most Kebab diners it may have been a little better.
The amount of lettuce and onion was poor.
Maybe the owner's should send thier staff up to Dahba in the Diamond and they will show them how a Kebab should be be made

Subway
Monaghan
26/07/2026: I've been to this Subway quite a few times, and overall the food is always good. The shawarma sub is definitely my favourite—it's really tasty and one I'd recommend.
The staff experience depends on who serves you. There's a blonde lady with short hair who seems to expect customers to know exactly what they want before getting to the counter. If you know your order, she's quick and efficient, and I've never personally had an issue with her.
However, I've seen her come across as impatient with customers who are unsure or take a while to decide, which can make the experience feel a bit uncomfortable.
On the other hand, there's a lady with black hair, who I believe is the manager, and she's always been lovely and welcoming.
There's also a younger member of staff who's genuinely one of the nicest people I've met—she's always friendly, patient, and makes everyone feel welcome. She has such a positive attitude and really adds to the customer experience.
Overall, the food is consistently good, especially the shawarma sub, and most of the staff are fantastic.
My only criticism is that some customers may feel rushed if they're still deciding what they'd like to order.
12/07/2026: Not sure if these girls are new or not but they are way too slow. We were waiting ages to be served and our food wasn’t even hot and we asked for it to be toasted. Needs extra training or quicken up a bit as only one girl serving for food while the other wasn’t doing anything.

The Hive
Monaghan
19/10/2025: We only had coffee/tea and a scone. All very nice and friendly. Alle the salads in the vitrine looked so fresh but we sadly had to move on before trying and tasting them all. We will be back.
16/07/2025: A lovely little spot that my partner and I visited for breakfast. It was quiet and the staff were quick to serve us. The breakfast menu has a nice collection of breakfast stables with something for everyone. We each had a Pancake Stack. Mine with Berries, Compote, Greek Yogurt and Honey. My partner's with Bacon, Maple Syrup and Pecans. The Coffee was good and fresh.
Would definitely recommend this spot and we will certainly be back again.
