Favourite local take-away/delivery service

Out of curiousity, where (if any) do you frequent? I'm a big fan of Excelsior on Nutgrove Avenue in Rathfarnham.

Yeah, that's a good one. I love their thai green/red currys.

I'm a sucker for the Village Take-Away (chipper) in Rathfarnham village. Godfathers pizza ain't too bad neither.

They are quality. They've done away with their early bird restaurant deal though.

Golden Elephant (Chinese/Thai/Vietnamese) in Dun Laoghaire. Delicious food and super-fast delivery time to Blackrock.

Sunkist and Bombay Pantry in Clonskeagh and the chipper in Ballyogan. Fantastic chips.

Borza, Tallaght Main Street! (chipper)

Simple but has served me well for the last 15 years!

Royale with Cheese

I usually order from Let's eat in, in Shankill. Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai food. Can order online which is handy for internet junkies like many of us. Food is fantastic, mainly stick to the Indian myself

Possibly the best I've ever had.

I'd say go for the 3in1 and a portion of chicken balls.

I've been looking for a good take away lately. Whereabouts is it so I can pick up a menu?

Letseatin.ie is great too but they don't always deliver to my house. There's so much choice I love it. Wonder when the Sandyford branch will open? I know they'll deliver to my house but it's said "Open in Feb 2007" for so long now.

Restaurantexpress.ie is handy as they deliver drink(soft and alcoholic) and food from loadsa restaurants. You can get pizzas, Eddie Rockets, Indian and loads more depending on your area. Delivery is a fiver for the first place then like 1.20 or something for the next ones. Very fast delivery from there. Highly recommended!

If anyone has any other suggestions for Blackrock let me know. I'm always ordering the same things.

It's on Cumberland Street, on the left hand side, going into Dun Laoghaire via Monkstown.

On the row of shops that have all the new fancy furniture shops before where Iceland used to be?

Bombay Pantry in Rathmines is really gorgeous Indian.

feylya

Monsoon is now may favourite Indian. Knew my details from my phone number on their caller id, took 15 minutes to deliver food.

Moonbeam

Bombay pantry near clonkeagh is wonderfuil:)

Fratton Fred

The Real Burger place in Dun Laoghaire is great, they don't deliver but you can phone your order through and pick it up.

Funkstard

Lee's Kitchen (Chinese) after the pubs close in Dalkey. That time and place is something unique and wonderful.

Mizzoni's pizzas are the bomb. So much better than Domino's/Godfather's.

Royale with Cheese

Hey drdre, try and get your dad to add Mexican to the menu. There is a serious lack of Mexican food in Dublin.

feylya

Royale, Burritos and Blues in Ranelagh deserves to be checked out.

Frankiestylee

I'm a man who loves his Excelsior in Rathfarnham. Good game OP, good game.

MBC

Mario's on Monkstown Farm road (across from the statue).............always packed and does the best chicken kebabs - top notch place.


Used to really like Liberios in Deansgrange but recently it's quite pricey and burgers are shabby to say the least. Don't know what the hell has happened:mad:

I will ask him about that, he might have it on the menu for sandyford as he is devolping a new menu soon.

Sinfonia

Yumi in Clonskeagh
Aldo's in Cornelscourt (although it used to be better)

Tabnabs

Yummi in Clonskeagh is great but pretty dear.

There's a Chinese in Aylesbury (sp?) shopping centre in tallaght that a garda mate of mine was telling me is so popular that the local gougers come from miles just to get their chips and curry sauce, he's reckons that it must be one of the best as these lads are connoisseurs

When I lived in Rathfarnham I got food a couple of times from Exelsior and didn't really enjoy it. If it's improved, that's great news.

I always loved Silvio's, but went in about two months ago for old time's sake. Man do they know how to charge!!!! Looks great though since they've refurbished it (which would explain the prices) and the food is as good as always.

When I lived in Dun Laoghaire, we always got Indian food on Fridays. Sometimes from Jewel in the Crown and other times from Bombay Pantry. Both great.

IronMan

San Marino's near Windy Arbour for the fast food. Never got bad stuff out of there, and they deliver in 15 minutes. It makes me happy in my belly.

Dublin Fire Brigade - fastest collection and delivery times ever........:)

No way! It's very average. Nothing special at all. Nothing beats Grace's Garden.

Really? I've been disappointed any time I've had food from there. Poor quality meat and don't get me started on the curry sauce! I used to live very near it but would still order from elsewhere.
