15/06/2025: Great pub to visit, outside area

16/05/2025: Great spot. Live music and nice staff

25/05/2025: The worst service I have ever experienced in my life. Went in the guy with glasses mumbled something at me and I just said no problem and no hurry. Then after 10 mins he said what you want and when I started my order he was laughing at me and saying I was being awkward with my order because I did not want garlic . Then he only half did my order. Refused to make half my order and I do not know why . I asked for his name and no answer . I had to walk away without my food and this guy should be in a office on his own.

03/07/2025: Great quality food and good service. Best spicebox in the ireland imo 👌🏻not too much focus on the chicken and chips and with nicely seasoned vegetables too, but would be great if they brought back indoor dining, after all, lockdown is long over. Please do this, Sohos. It would be lovely to sit in at your restaurant again 🙏🏻 🥲❤️

14/07/2025: We went for lunch on sat 12th July 2025. There was 4 of us. Two of us ordered the TOPSIDE BEEF. and the other 2 ordered the chicken and ham.. The chicken and ham when the chicken was lifted had a deli slice of ham..one thin piece.. The supposed to be topside beef was glorified beef slices again from a deli it was wafer thin. We use beef slices a lot so know what it's like..then on one of the chicken meal a piece of wood was found in the mouth of one of us. Brought it to the attention of waitress she tried to say it was from the stuffing a bit of herb ..no way was it. While we weren't charged for that meal it was so disappointing.as well as having to wait for nearly 30 mins. The plates were so hot they had to have come from the microwave.

09/07/2025: A family kitchen. A cozy place like home.

26/06/2025: Very good and fresh fish. They were very fast. The workers and the owner are very kind and friendly. If you wanna try an original fish and chips go there.

03/05/2025: Lovely workers but I got one of the worst kebabs of my life in here. Ice Cold, I mean its like somebody took their leftovers out of the fridge from last night and gave them to me. All that I could taste in the kebab was lettuce... I cant fully even tell you what else was in there (It was a veg kebab, but jesus, I didnt order a freezing lettuce kebab).

19/07/2025: Good place for kids but management sucks

10/07/2025: We had an extremely disappointing experience while bringing my daughter and her cousins for a play date. My niece and nephew (both aged 13) were refused entry to accompany their younger cousins aged 2 and 1. We were informed by staff that the age limit was strictly enforced. However, it was plainly obvious that older children, some of which were clearly at least 15/16 years old were allowed in without issue. When this inconsistency was pointed out, your staff simply stated that those individuals “must have lied about their age,” which somehow made it acceptable in your view. The 13yr olds were there to help us with the younger kids. Your entry policy isn't fair or consistent. If you're letting people in based on whether they can trick the staff about their age, instead of having clear rules for everyone, then the policy isn't working and it's actually discriminatory. The way you're handling age verification is really troubling. Your policy is both useless and deeply unjust. The manager's behavior made things even worse. They were rude and dismissive, refusing to explain the inconsistent decisions. This lack of professionalism is unacceptable, especially in a place for children and families. Considering other reviews, it seems this isn't an isolated incident. Honestly, it's not worth anyone's time or money to go there, given how customers are treated.

26/11/2024: Actually the good thing about this is u get all the Indian spices,pulses n halal meat here....but it's so over expensive....it's 3 times the price of the product..

06/07/2025: We ordered 2 buckets of the 20 x hot wing special and they tasted burnt and old, very disappointed! Ordered a few times and stopped for a while and unfortunately nothing has changed!

06/07/2025: Friendly, efficient fast serving staff. Place was clean and tidy, even though it was busy, they did they the impossible to clear and clean tables. I'll be back.

13/05/2025: Rip off. €22 for chips 3 batter sausage+ 1 garlic dip + 3 cokes. Way too greasy too.

25/04/2025: I made an order. I paid for it. My order never arrived and they blocked my number after many call attempts

13/04/2025: Ordered a chicken shish kebab, menu stated chicken breast, as is chicken shish anywhere else I've had it. Received some foul smelling minced thing, disgusting. Phoned and was told "this is our traditional shish".... straight to the bin.

20/03/2025: The food and service were great.

14/07/2025: I rang and made a order for a pizza the lads got it out to Glasson lake house no problem still hot and tasty highly recommended

28/05/2025: I recently ordered the burger deal from Apache Pizza Athlone after seeing the picture on their website, which clearly shows two burgers. Naturally, I assumed the deal included two burgers. However, I only received a single burger. Thinking it might have been a mistake, I ordered it again on a separate occasion, and once again, only one burger was delivered. I called to enquire and was told that the deal includes just one burger. This was quite frustrating, as the picture on the website is misleading and gives a very different impression. I would strongly suggest updating the image or providing a clearer description to avoid confusing customers. I was honestly unhappy with the experience and felt let down by the lack of clarity.

25/06/2025: A regular customer of Kens restaurant for takeaway. Absolutely horrified this evening when browsing the menu to order takeaway for the family to see main courses had increased by up to 4 euro. 17.50 euro for a thai green curry dish. An outlandish increase. Wont be ordering from Kens again after being a customer for years.

01/04/2025: Got food delivered to us last night at our hotel as our hotel didn’t have a good variety. Needless to say worst experience I’ve had. The chicken in my spice bag tasted weird, like it had been re-freezed. My boyfriend ordered sweet and sour chicken and while he didn’t complain about the flavour at the time we both felt awful this morning. Some big toilet troubles really was just the cherry on top of this mediocre (if I’m being nice) takeaway.
