No idea, have never gotten anything out of it.

I've eaten there a few times and I do enjoy it, they must have a loyal following to get enough votes to win something like that

Got a takeaway there recently because of the award and threw it out. Myself and my daughter both agreed the food was horrible. Felt like there was a lot of sugar in the sauces where they were supposed to be creamy. Very disappointed as it wasn't cheap either.

got a vegetable dish out of there a couple of years ago and it was really cat. The sauce was like soup and the vegetables were straight out of a packet of mixed frozen vegetables! Obviously havent been since, and its a shame because the 2 times I had been before that the food was lovely

Went to fairly newish cafe on West St. Ordered cappuccino and a slice of apple pie.

Bad enough that the cappuccino was luke warm, but when I bit down on the a portion of the pie I got a horrible crunchy sensation in my mouth.

Spat out a 1cm long pointed chard of glass.

Went in a fairly vexed, but controlled manner back to counter. Staff shocked and apologetic. Member of staff said that they buy all their pies in and that she would give me the name of their supplier.

As if. Insisted on getting the contact details of the manager/owner as I suspect it's done some damage to a dental crown. Only got a first name and a mobile written down on a piece of paper and handed to me.

Will most definately see this through. Is it OK for me to name the cafe on here?

I wouldn't think so, sounds like an awful unfortunate experience though, a bit odd they brought the supplier into it I would think...

I tried Aisha's Cafe & Bistro for the first time at the weekend. Very busy coming up to Xmas. Service was good but took a while to take our order and for the food to arrive which was fine as we were in no rush.
Had a starter and main and the food is fantastic with very big portions. Had to doggy bag half the food and it made for a nice lunch the day after!:)
Highly recommend and i will be back for sure. 8/10

Another negative for Ajanta I'm afraid. My parents tried it last weekend because they seen the award they won in the paper. They said it was fairly awful and they wont be going back

Was in Annie's today. I think the food is really good value (€8 for a Sandwhich a good chunk of chip shop style chips, and a coke) and really tasty. Admittedly, Mom seemed to get food poisoning the next day, so she's put off now

I've never had an issue though.

It's been a while but went to Sorrento's before Christmas - really nice! Service was quick and friendly - great walk-in option.

Went to Annie's on Saturday with my mam for lunch - it was rotten

Service was dreadful - appallingly slow. People who came in after us were served and finished before our food had even arrived. Mam got a Chicken Caesar Salad & I had the Club Sandwich. Both had turkey in them instead of Chicken. Highlighted it to the girl at the cash desk & to the manager, both of whom refuted that they had any turkey on the premises. Manager went off to check and never came back. Then mam was speaking to other diners who said they'd been in the day before and the same story - turkey instead of chicken and they were told that they had no turkey in the place either! Won't be back.

Where is Annies?

Annie's is in the Meatmarket Lane, which is the laneway at the side of Penneys in West St

The staff in it are horrendously bad, very impolite. Couldn't care less if you enjoy your food or not

Was in Bru myself only a few weeks ago, food was pretty good and service was excellent. Great choice on the menu too.
