Anyone else think the standard of Rupee in Bettystown has dropped? In particular the chicken being served in the likes of Jalfrezi or Achari isn't the same quality as I've had there before.:(
Do you mean the take away?? I had my first take away from Rupee a few months ago and thought it was pretty good. Then the next time it was good too but the last one I got wasn't a patch on the other two. A pan fried potato and lentil thingy that I'd had before and loved, turned out to now be a horrible dry thing that had been crumbed and deep fried. The rest of the meal wasn't as good as it used to be either. Pity....

Yes the takeaway. I haven't eaten in the restaurant but we've used the takeaway approx once a week for the last 6 months. We've had two in a row now that had poor quality chicken so I'll be going back to Punjabi House if I get a third.Do you mean the take away??

I believe the pizzeria will still be open alas not with jean Carlos , heard his partner from previous years is back to run it - pizzas will hardly be as tasty .
On a positive note the rumour is that he ' s not going back to France and he might be back in business before ya know it

Was speaking to him earlier. He is def going but uncertainity over if it will remain open. They are still trying to sort out rent issues. I for one will miss the place. I have practically eaten there nearly every week for the past 14 years! Great times.:oblingrhino wrote: »I believe the pizzeria will still be open alas not with jean Carlos , heard his partner from previous years is back to run it - pizzas will hardly be as tasty .

Been lucky enough to eat out twice this week. Firstly in the restaurant at the Glenside Hotel last Sunday evening. Four of us for dinner and we were all very happy with our meals. I can definitely recommend the Penne Pasta with Chicken in a Roasted Tomato Cream Sauce. The Chef kindly made mine without the cream when requested
The Cajun Chicken Sizzler was apparently the best my brother had ever tasted! The other 2 diners had the Turkey & Ham and both were very pleased with their choice. All desserts were delicious, in particular, the Warm Chocolate Brownies...yum:)
Today, we ate in The Kitchen, South Quay for the first time. My friend had "Chicken with Pears" which sounded unusual, but was in fact delicious! The Hake in Chick Pea Batter got the thumbs up from my husband and my Tomato & Aubergine Pasta was really good. Desserts of Backlava, Eaton Mess and Lemon Drizzle Cake rounded off a great day in very pleasant surroundings.
I will definitely be returning to the Glenside and The Kitchen.0 -

Went there on Wed. Night (4th July) as part of a group of 5.
Table booked for 7.30 pm and we were ushered to our table, noted that it was not busy, about 30% full. We were given our menu's in old Comic Annuals (mine was the 2005 Dandy) which was quirky, but quickly noted that the menu is limited. Drinks order taken and arrived as expected, then food orders taken. We had decided (in advance) on Mains/Dessert/Tea, Coffee. Order taken circa 7.40.
We were then given bread, which was home-made, fresh, chunky and crispy. The butter came in a dish, (straight from the fridge) and was rock hard and impossible to spread on the lovely fresh bread. Bread was very nice, then it was 8.00 and nothing, then 8.10, we were about to check when we were given complimentary soup (Carrot and Coconut) in little cups, which was very tasty. The soup came with more bread. Its now 8.20 and other tables are having difficulty as well. We can observe heated discussions with the waiting staff and we decide to ask if all is OK with our order, we are told that our meal will be ready shortly. The first of many apologies is made, at 8.40 our meal starts to arrive, it took 3 visits by a single waiter to deliver 2 Spare Rib and 3 Chicken dishes.
Ribs: Very tasty and fell off the bone, but not as good as the Eastern Seaboard, they came with a potato salad, made from purple potatoes and a mayo dressing, although they tasted OK they looked "funny" and I did not finish them. They came in 2 bowls on a paddle, but we were not offered a plate or a bowl of warm water to clean your fingers etc. The food was tasty with a tight portion.
Chicken: had a lemon flavour and all (3) pronounced it delicious, it came with corn on the cob, which was changed to mixed veg for 1 on request, again all were happy with the quality of the food. I ordered a side of their "famous double cooked chips", which are more wedges in reality, they were nice except a number of them were quite large and somewhat undercooked.
The Manager then came to our table and apologised and informed us that we would be getting a complimentary medley of deserts.
When the waiter was clearing our table, he enthused about the forthcoming medley, which sadly took another 20 mins to arrive. We had to ask for plates to share them and again all were happy with the quality and taste. We were then given complimentary tea/coffee. The tea came in individual tea pots which poured well (not what one normally finds!!) and all professed themselves happy. The coffee was warm at best and disappointed.
Overall view, Food was very good, but the delays were very bad. We were not the only people to have issues. The staff are under pressure, but overall were pleasant. Although only recently opened, they should be getting their act together by now. Will need a vast improvement before I would return. (which I hope happens as this venue is a welcome addition to the town.:(:( 0 -
That's a great review mornington man - sounds like they are having trouble organizing orders, but are still focusing on quality and taste and apologizing for the mistakes and offering loads of complementary stuff to make up for their mistakes - it actually sounds like they actually care!!!!!

I was in Drogheda for some cake supplies on Saturday and as per usual didn't eat before I left the house so was in some state by the time I got done; tried that new Italian Deli on the quays - well I tried to - despite having a sign outside and the door being open the nice girl behind the counter told us that the previous night had been so busy the owner had decided not to open that afternoon. Great complaint but not one he should try too often I would say.
Anyway was heading back up Stockwell St and decided on Aileen's Art of Coffee.
A real little gem there - Soup & any Toastie for 7.50 - Tomato & Basil soup w/ Ham & Cheese toastie for me;gorgeous soup, piping hot and the sandwich was perfectly crisp with a generous amount of filling. O/H went for the fry-up and asked for no beans and juice instead of a hot drink. Nothing was any trouble and the cook even gave him an extra rasher in place of the beans. There was a lovely little area out back with a table and it seemed to be a real suntrap. The loo was spotless too. The outstanding feature however was the two ladies running the place - cheery, chatty and attentive without being intrusive and just seemed like really nice people - I hope the owner realises how lucky they are to have such good staff. Will deffo go back. 0
