takeaway in athlone

Where do you get your weekend takeaway?

BoB_BoT · 30-05-2014 5:48pm

Jia Jia for Chinese

Kin Khao for Thai

Bethlehem for chipper food

Pizza tends to be either Apache/Supermacs/Bethlehem depending on the mood

I second Jia Jia and Bethlehem. Reliable Chinese and LOVE the pizza in Bethlehem.

It's a shame we haven't got a half dacent Indian takeaway in Athlone - Do you know I wouldn't order food from any of the existing ones......:(

TheJackAttack · 02-06-2014 11:45am

It's a real shame there's no decent Indians in Athlone! Totally agree.

BoB_BoT · 02-06-2014 12:01pm

Mother India isn't the worst, Saagar when it was here was much better. My only problem with good Indian food, is the price :P

Long Gone · 02-06-2014 1:14pm

The thing is that I'm really into the Tandoori stuff ( Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Mixed Grills etc) rather than curries - Any tandoori stuff i've every ordered in Athlone has been adsolutely awful.....:(

TheJackAttack · 02-06-2014 1:20pm

Any stuff I've gotten from Mother India has been awful. Never tried Saagar - it must be closed nearly 7/8 years now?

Steven81 · 02-06-2014 2:09pm

Actually think the chinese takeaways are poor in the town, go to Jia jia but compared to other towns not a patch

Once saw the lads in saagar cleaning the counter with the same mop they'd just used to mop the floor...

Well they did claim that they were an authentic Indian Restaurant. Having visited India many times I can assure you that is authentic hygiene standards. In fact it would have been even more authentic if they'd used the same mop to mop out the toilets first....:eek:

Kebabs - Al Kebabish
Chips - Marios in arcadia, but they are so rude and take so long some times.
Burgers - Bethleem, sometimes I find their chips do be a tad undercooked.
Savios - is generally good, the pepperoni pizza slices are amazing, and the chips are pretty good too, along with everything, but their delivery can be very slow sometimes.

and the nicest of all is Kin Khao.

It all depends on how your feeling at the time of course.

If they're rude then I just wouldn't give them any business. There is no excuse for being rude to customers.

boredatwork82 · 04-06-2014 12:16pm

But they are doing everything half price the last few weeks/months.. and its nearby and easy to get to. So if you ring in your order and go down and pick it up 20 minutes later its grand.

TheJackAttack · 04-06-2014 1:07pm

Genoa Garlic/Cheese chips with Bacon on top - nothing more to be said. Mod please lock

I have to agree, with a little ketchup this is the ultimate food.

I wouldnt eat out of that place...

tubos · 11-06-2014 6:08pm

Agree, Marios best for chips. Not as rude as they used to be and still half price, have been for last 6 months, dont know how they are going to go back to being full price now!!

Double-Y, right beside it and is nice for chinese.

whyulittle · 11-06-2014 6:14pm

I've never found Marios rude, they just don't make stupid chit-chat with you.

Lenin Skynard · 11-06-2014 9:08pm

Can't believe Sizzler's in Baylough hasn't been mentioned yet. Best curry cheese chips in town since the old cookhouse closed and everything else is nice too. The owner would talk the back legs off a donkey too, lovely woman.
