The best restaurants in Waterford

10/12/2025: Staff and coffee amazing, perfect cosy spot x

14/11/2025: I’ve come here a few times in the past few weeks and every time I’ve enjoyed the visit. The coffee is great and the cakes and sweet treats are always great.

08/05/2026: A 10-minute drive is apparently a cross-country expedition?!? Avoid at all costs if you unless you have a penchant for the ridiculous. I tried to order delivery from this restaurant on a Thursday evening. I live exactly a 10-minute drive away – I know this because I’ve timed it, and anyone with a basic sense of geography would agree that’s hardly extremely remote. Yet the later on the phone they treated my address as if I’d asked them to cater a base camp on the moon. They refused to take my order until she’d spoken to the delivery driver, leaving me hanging on the phone for more than ten minutes. When they finally called me back, I was told I’d have to pay an €8 “excess delivery charge” – already steep, but I wanted the food, so I agreed. Then came the real insult: a €25 minimum spend on food alone, excluding the delivery fee. My order came to €19.80, a mere €5.20 short. A different, more reasonable-sounding lady on the phone even admitted that would “probably be no problem” – but the moment the manager got on the line, all logic collapsed. She flatly refused to place my order unless I hit that arbitrary €25 food minimum, insisting over and over that it was “because I lived so far away.” This situation is so nonsensical and frustrating . A 10-minute drive. On a Thursday evening. Isn’t that the whole purpose of the delivery service???? Not a blizzard, not a bank holiday, not a single road closure. And for the privilege of being treated like an inconvenience, they wanted to force me to spend extra money I didn’t want to spend, on top of an inflated delivery surcharge. So the actual minimum cost for a 10-minute delivery would have been €33 – €8 delivery plus €25 food – for what the manager considers a journey so inconvenient for them. It is scandalous. In what world is a 10-minute drive on a Thursday night “inaccessible”? The manager’s attitude was difficult , inflexible, and utterly detached from reality. I’ve had smoother, cheaper deliveries from restaurants twice the distance that were grateful for the business. This place, by contrast, made it abundantly clear they don’t value customers – they see you as a nuisance unless you’re ordering a banquet apparently. Rather than getting a chance to put money behind the bar of local business I was now forced to line the pockets of MNC dominos. Disgraceful customer care. A masterclass in how to lose a willing, paying customer over a fiver. I will never attempt to order from here again, and I strongly recommend you avoid this restaurant. Absolutely pathetic.

30/04/2026: Very good food and service. Thank you

16/02/2026: Issue 1: Ordered 2 dishes, one lamb and one chicken. I saw the waiter write it correctly and yet they came out wrong. They had prepared the wrong meats for the opposite dishes. Issue 2: When the correct dishes came out, the chicken vindaloo was inedible! It was just chilli and water, no depth of flavours, no substance to the sauce. We complained that there was no salt or other masalas in it to give taste. The waiter replied saying the was salt to us on the table.... My partner is indian and I lived in india and no dish is like that, nor can anyone eat it and say it was edible. When we left, we were offered shots of alcohol as a apology.... Disappointing and just bad service or response to a complaint. We also had a lamb dish which was ok. My partner and I shared it and left hungry and Disappointed for our valentines date. Reservation: 7pm on 15th Feb.

02/08/2025: Very slow service. Went to find someone after 10 minutes. Only to find d my table was given away

18/07/2025: A cocktail bar like you'd dream of. Nice, quiet ambiance, pleasant music, polite bartenders. The bar is a bit hidden, it was quiet, and it definitely deserves more visitors. Fair prices, good service, and first-class signature cocktails.

24/04/2026: Very impressed with this restaurant. The food is homely and authentic. Really delicious and the prices are amazing!

06/04/2026: I’ve been to this restaurant more than 7 times and always enjoyed it, but unfortunately my last two visits were disappointing. Both times the curries were completely tasteless. We ordered chicken chilli masala and lamb karahi, but there was almost no difference in flavour between them. When you order two different dishes, you expect different tastes, not something that feels like the same pre-mixed curry. The naan bread was good, no complaints there. But the curries definitely need improvement. We also ordered the starter chicken chaat with puri. To be honest, I know what puri should be — it should be made from fresh dough. Instead, it seemed like a fried tortilla wrap being served as puri, which isn’t really correct. That said, the staff are very good and friendly, no issues there at all. Just hoping the restaurant improves the food quality and flavour because it used to be much better.

27/10/2025: Staff are friendly & helpful. Food is tasty 😋

24/09/2025: Food and service is always amazing- the staff are so lovely and the pancakes are some of the best that I’ve had. I always have a good experience with the waitresses and they seem to have great relationships with the locals/ regulars. I have to say though, for the second time now, I’ve noticed the man who I assume is the manager/ head chef talking down to the staff and being rude to them. Could be just that he’s busy or I’m catching him at a bad moment but it definitely sets a bad tone for customers to overhear and get the impression that staff aren’t being treated right- especially given the great job they’re doing!
