18/01/2025: We went to this restaurant tonight for a long overdue Indian meal, first impressions were good, the decor was nice and everything looked very clean. We were told that our table was by the window and was round, but if we wanted a different table we could change, we weren't shown to our table or made to feel overly welcome, but we didn't mind, the restaurant was warm, and quiet at the time and we were happy with the window seats. The young lady who was serving and seemed to be the only waiting staff was pleasant and friendly, she brought menus and took our drink orders. We perused the menu which was quite small and not a lot of choice, but the basics were there, to my disappointment there were no karahi dishes listed, I was really looking forward to enjoying my favourite dish, but had to decide on something else, we decided to order poppadoms and dips for starters, which turned out to be approx 7 quarter size poppadoms and a teeny tiny shallow 2 inch bowl of onion salad, definitely not enough for 3 people (I did ask our waitress if we should order more than 1 between us and she said no) and a bit miserable considering that they were just under 5 euros, this was very disappointing as I was expecting at least three dips, just the standard cucumber raita, some mango chutney and onion salad, I would have happily paid a bit extra if these were provided, but my usual Indian restaurant provides poppadoms and 3 dips gratis and serve them immediately on arrival. For the main I chose lamb bhuna, whilst my two companions ordered chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka jalfreizi respectively, we ordered 2 servings of pilau rice, 1 garlic naan and 1 plain naan The waiting time for the main to arrive was considerable, but not to the point of complaining. The portions when they arrived were decent and the naan breads were beautiful. My bhuna was so so, but I wasn't blown away, there was a fragrance to it that I haven't experienced before, and although it didn't stop me enjoying the meal, it certainly didn't add to my enjoyment, I would have preferred if whatever was used to add such fragrance was left out, the naan was delightful though and the rice was cooked to perfection. I tried some of the chicken tikka jalfreizi and it was nice but again I wasn't blown away by it. I didn't try the tikka masala but my friend enjoyed it and said it was good. The ladies toilet was spotless clean and overall I had no qualms about the general aesthetics of the restaurant, but I think a bit of effort could be made with some music playing and a more welcoming atmosphere, I certainly didn't feel inclined to stay any longer than we did, but probably would have ordered coffee and dessert had there been a good atmosphere. I appreciate that we arrived at tea time on a Friday evening, and they were clearly busy with takeaway orders, but I was expecting a bit more authenticity, as I am used to eating at Indian restaurants where that would be standard. I terms of value for money, I would say it was fair to middling, but no more than that. 1 portion of poppadoms and 3 main meals, plus 1 can of Fanta and 2 sparkling waters for just under €80 is not unreasonable, but they really let themselves down with the poppadom starter and lack of atmosphere. Would I go back again? Probably not, I can travel slightly further and spend less for a much more authentic Indian meal experience and a friendlier vibe, albeit maybe not as aesthetically pleasing at my regular Indian restaurant, I would sacrifice aesthetics for the enjoyment of a truly Indian experience, with very friendly staff who treat their clients like visiting royalty over the blandness of bombay palace any day of the week.

18/01/2025: Not what I was expecting after reading other reviews, I eat a lot of Indian food and cook this type of cuisine very well myself, so my expectations were high. On arrival we were asked to wait 2 minutes, and then told that our table was the round one by the window, we weren't shown to our table and had to wait for a few minutes before the waitress arrived with the menus, so our first impressions weren't great. The food was mediocre, nothing special about it, I didn't particularly enjoy my lamb bhuna, but the rice and naan bread, which are both extra as you don't get a side with the main meal were nice. There was only one girl serving in the restaurant floor and they were clearly busy with takeaway orders, so the service fell below my expectations, as did the atmosphere which was bland and quite boring, no background music and overall a feeling of just eat and leave, there was a about the restaurant to make us want to linger any further than the main meal, so we didn't order dessert or coffee. The starter of poppadoms with dips was a bit of a joke, I specifically asked if we should order one each, but our waitress said one would be enough. I couldn't believe what came out to us, a few pieces of poppadom and one teeny tiny miniscule bowl of onion salad, nothing else, no chutney, cucumber yoghurt etc. For a fiver I would have expected at least enough to enjoy the poppadoms with, however we ate most of them dry because we were so hungry. My usual Indian restaurant serves a large portion of poppadoms with 3 dips and it's complimentary, arriving to the table very quickly after being seated. Overall the experience was nothing special, the decor was lovely and everything was very clean, the fact that the building was a post office once upon a time is a big plus and adds to the aesthetic charm, but the food was average and the pricing a little over the top for what you get. I would be reluctant to go back, unlike my usual Indian restaurant which I love for the friendly staff, excellent food and authentic atmosphere.

18/07/2025: Good food, fast service, affordable price.

08/06/2025: Excellent food always. I have been here several times and food is always consistently excellent. 😋

18/08/2025: We got a take-out pizza and were pleasantly surprised.

16/07/2025: I am visiting from New York, I wasn’t expecting to find pizza this good in a small town in Ireland — but Roberto’s completely proved me wrong. I had their pizza for the first time last night and ended up going back again tonight. That should tell you enough. The pizza is genuinely delicious — the crust has that perfect balance of crunch and chew, the toppings are fresh and flavorful, and the sauce and cheese are layered just right. It reminded me of the kind of authentic, well-made pizza you’d find in a solid neighborhood spot back in NYC. But what made this place even better was the people inside. The staff and the owner are genuinely some of the friendliest and funniest people I’ve met on this trip. From the second I walked in, they made me feel welcome and I became “Charlie”. It wasn’t just about grabbing food — it felt like a full experience. We joked, laughed, talked about where I was from, and by the time I left, it felt like I’d known them for way longer than just one visit. The service was quick and everything came out fresh and hot. There’s no cutting corners here — it’s real food made with love and personality. And as someone who’s picky when it comes to pizza (especially being from New York), I can confidently say this is the best pizza I’ve had while visiting Ireland. Easily. If you’re nearby or even just passing through, make it a point to stop by Roberto’s. You won’t regret it. I’ll definitely be coming back for more during the rest of my stay. And if you’re still on the fence, just look at the pizza. That alone should convince you. 🔥🍕🇮🇪🇦🇱

09/07/2025: Awful fish (cod) overcooked, dry chewy and not entirely white.

19/04/2025: Very friendly welcome and delicious pizza dough.

16/08/2025: Had breakfast here this morning. The food was ok but the service left a lot to be desired. After being shown to our table our orders were taken promptly by a friendly member of staff and our teas and coffees were brought out shortly afterwards. However, it went downhill from here. It took forty five minutes from when we ordered until our food was served. This was only after we alerted a member of staff how long we were waiting. When the food was eventually served, there was no apology for the delay. In addition to this, on the two tables adjacent to our table, customers arrived after we were seated and had their food served long before us. Quite frankly; it wouldn’t inspire us to return here.

15/08/2025: Highly recommended. We tasted a very good cake and the coffee with milk too. The place is very cozy and the service is friendly.

25/07/2025: I would highly Zaiqa, my Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious with Pilau rice

22/07/2025: Absolutely outstanding quality food every time. Ate here several times now and haven't been disappointed yet. I'm normally all about the hot Curry's but the Butter Chicken here is on another level. Mixed starter as well is fantastic. Highly recommend, does get busy on the weekend so might be worth booking 👌

13/08/2025: The owner is a brilliant man. Came from the kitchen to greet us and gave a warm welcome. Service was nice and friendly. Big portions. Curry was amazing and chicken too!

09/07/2025: The delivery driver on a Saturday is very good looking and is very nice to chat too

24/06/2025: I was in castlereagh Saturday the 14th of June with my family and rang in a order for collection at 11pm when I went to collect my order they told us that nobody had rang in any orders. Beautiful town the people in the shop’s and pubs and taxi are so friendly and help full. Shame there hard work is let down by one business.

08/06/2025: busy busy spot always good for food, plenty of it and good value! service with a smile too
