02/06/2025: Great food and service is excellent. Would well recommend to go there and prices are very good as well.

31/10/2025: Ordered a takeaway at 5.50, told to collect in 15minutes, when I got back I was asked to wait a few more minutes, 3 other people got their orders, the server was great who went to find my order... in the end it was what seemed to be a rushed thrown together order and Huge Chunks of what were standard chicken goujons in sauce, Save yourself the money air fry at home would be better then here

19/09/2025: I'm pretty new to Ruby King, past year. I find the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is amazing, hot and good size portions. Prices are reasonable. I find the food here is better than my local takeaway (different place).

24/08/2025: Really great Donor kebabs and chips. Fantastic service and great with kids.

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

28/10/2025: This happened on Oct 28, 2025 @ 5:40 pm I'de give 0 sta I could. No smile No welcoming No greetings The lad at the reception just kept refusing my requests. I ordered the same thing as last week, and he said no we don't do that... We don't serve that... With an attitude, like he was telling me to go away... I still can't believe it! It never happened to me. And just small detail. I'm a decent person, clea, good looking and very polite. I'm sure I didn't do anything wrong. No person with dignity should go to this restaurant BTW I drove 30min to go there and I regret it.

11/10/2025: Had the Shish kebab to start and it was amazing on par with the best I've every had, loved it and will get it every time from now on. I then had the chicken korma but with a bit of spice added. I highly recommend this as I have the Korma all the time and like the extra kick of spice to help cut through the cream. I've been many times and was very please with my last visit last week, went with the work crowd and they all loved their food too. A real hidden Gem

27/10/2025: The prices are absolutely extortionate. I went in with my take away cup (340ml) and ordered an oat milk latte with one pump of caramel. It came to €6.10, I then specified that I wanted a small latte, it came to €5.80. Absolutely crazy price for a small take away coffee, more than the cost of a pint. Won’t be returning. I acknowledge that oat milk and syrups usually cost extra, and the coffee was excellent, but that price is still outrageous.

13/10/2025: Gorgeous coffee shop with exceptional cakes and savouries

02/10/2025: Beautiful Cafe,well ran and very clean with good food

24/09/2025: Disappointed to be charged for 2 pots of tea with my breakfast when all I asked for was more water in tea pot. I'm regular customer customer for years.

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.

18/01/2025: 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.

28/10/2025: I was really looking forward to treating myself to a nice sit-down meal at Lann after about a year away. As a former weekly regular, I always raved about their exquisite food – bursting with authentic flavors and always incredibly tasty. But my visit on October 28th evening sround 6:15 PM left me terribly disappointed and queasy. I ordered the BBQ pork ribs as a starter, followed by the duck with steamed rice as my main, plus a Coke. The new waitress kindly agreed to bring everything out together. After about 10 minutes, the ribs arrived first. The initial bites were decent, but by the third rib, I discovered one side was fridge-cold while the other was barely warm – clearly undercooked or poorly reheated. The duck arrived midway through, and I flagged the issue right away. The waitress was apologetic, consulted the chef, and comped the ribs, which was a nice gesture. Unfortunately, the main course was even worse. The duck was rubbery and lukewarm, with no trace of the crispy skin or sizzling presentation it used to have ( microwaved?) The rice was tepid, clumped, and felt like it had been microwaved rather than freshly steamed – zero steam or vibrancy. I barely touched it and left most of the meal behind. When it came time to pay (around £20, though it felt overpriced for the quality), the waitress asked for feedback. I was honest: the overall standard has plummeted. It seems like they might have a new chef, as nothing matched the high-quality dishes I remembered. The service was friendly, but the food was a far cry from the gem this place used to be. I felt unwell afterward and won't be returning. it's heartbreaking to see such a drop-off.

04/10/2025: Good food servers have no idea what they are doing though. extremely long wait even though the place was basically empty also

02/09/2025: Stopped here for freinds to catch up, the service was fantastic and friendly!

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

03/08/2025: Should just close it at this stage. Asked for a chicken kebab and normally you'd expect salad and the trimings but no such luck. As dry as cardboard, just chopped up bits of chicken thrown into a cold, limp pitta and not as much as an ounce of flavour. Very disappointing. The girl at the counter barely said thanks and the rest of the staff seemed like they had no interest being there. Nowhere near worth the €25 price. Been going for years but from now on I'll take my chances elsewhere.

11/07/2025: 4 years ago I got the worst food poisoning of my life from Antonellis. I hadn't stepped foot in the place since until today. Ordered 2 fish and chips. One fish looked like a battered fish and the other looked like it was begging to be put out of it's misery. It had been cooked more than once and tasted disgusting. I ate a small bit, struggling to even chew it and I have not felt well since. This place seriously needs to be inspected. Lesson learned, never again will I eat here again.
