Sizzlers is rotten very disapointed in it. Customer service is really bad too.

Please tell me you are joking about Tangos its nearly the most talked about premises on this thread:D (apart from eastern sea board )

Ps Tangos is gorgeous.

Not sure if anyone tried the new look "Village Kebabish" in James's St? So far I've only had a couple of nice kebabs but they have a full Indian menu so I must try out some of the other dishes, I think they might have a restaurant upstairs but methinks the Take Away is where they'll do their business. Nice food.

Popped in there with Mrs Sneem Man and ordered chicken tikka kebab,mixed kebab,onion bhaji and tandoori jhingia from the takeaway,it was scrumptious.
I'll try the restaurant in a week or two...

When you ordered the chicken tikka kebab could you hear the 'ding' sound....yes...reheated in microwave. Will stick to place on Trinity Street.

ER ????? Tangos has been tried by nearly everyone here and posts are common, by all accounts its very good and ecomonical, but go with an empty tank, its eat all you can night, one price for all.:)

:rolleyes: Well I went down the other day but the owner wasnt there. I just had my two daughters with me and we had a few starters and I must say the service was so much improved. They actually smiled at me and checked back to the table and brought me extra sauce etc. So much more improved. I am still going to go down and chat with the owner though.

Agreed, I was at the eastern seaboard last week and the service has improved a lot, I think I detected a smile too, but honestly cannot wait to hear what the owner will say lol. In fairness they do try and that business is hard.

havent been near it in month's, not surppised its gone.

Dropped into Peony Chinese in Bryanstown. The food has improved and is now as good as any local Chinese. Great Deal €42 for four course dinner for two, but they throw in a free bottle of wine.....in truth there was enough food for three or four people. Very few people there but the deal is very good......I hear Tommy Hanrattys has a cracking deal at the moment, something similar with free wine ,,,has anyone tried it.

Havent been hearing great things about Hanno's latley....

It's still open ( Sizzler's) passed it on Saturday and there was a few in it!

bottomdog

Had a meall in Indus the other night, the 30% off deal is over, so the prices are back up, not quite as high as they were, they now have GOAT on the menu ! still a good spot, but not quite the super value it was for the last few months.

Went to Scholars recently, the €25 menu is basically good value but the side dishes (potatoes/veg) are extra and the coffee prices are a rip off plain and simple - €2.90 for a cappuccino and €2.50 for an expresso!! :eek:

No, but this looks like the menu

disappointing there is no bottle of house wine with it though

compared to the prices on the right you are only saving a fiver or so really need to add the bottle wine to make it worthwhile

Can anyone recommend any other good Indian restaurants apart from Indus. Have been to Indus many times, always thought it was lovely but the standards have been dipping lately. any suggestions welcome...

Have you tried the Punjabi House on the Dublin Rd?

(Beside the Esso garage and the Railway Arms)

Takeaway food is always excellent and its not bad for a sit down meal either, its a bit quirky but always good fun and better than indus imo.

thanks furiousox, we tried the take away in Punjab house a few years ago and it was ok, we just never tried the restaurant so we may give that a go this weekend.

Agree, Veg and Potatoes are an essential component of a basis meal and should not be considered as an extra ( or 'sides' as they like to call them. Lets face it who just wants a steak with no veg or potato, so it nonsense to charge for sides.
But €2,90 for a cappucino is fair in my book as cffeee shops charge that

Only for lunch, and its very mixed. Just don't find the dining room an intimate setting for evening dinner.

Well, yeah ok €2.90 for a cappucino is probably not extreme, but €2.50 for an expresso is off the scale.

l got an expresso in the middle of Rome for 90c.

Try Bengal spice on trinity street, have not been myself but its an option, or Bengal Spice on Stockwell street, have not been there either but I hear its okay. Or Punjabi House...It is quite good food but a little cramped and the lady owner is not endearing to me, but hey everyone differs.

Ive been to the eastern seaboard a few times lovely ambience and very reasonable.

One thing l've noticed about the Seaboard is that the background music is always terrible.

The last time we were there, there was some grating meandering uptempo jazz number playing.

Both my wife and l realised we were eating quicker than we wanted to because the music was so "urgent"

Thankfully after a few minutes it was changed mid-song to something less annoying.
