Mallow restaurant

sunshinegirl

Can anyone recommend a reasonable restaurant in mallow. there will be a large booking so somewhere that can take 15 people or more.

thanks

Would a Chinese restaurant suit you? If so, then go to Jumbo. Imo it is the nicest Chinese restaurant in Mallow.

If you'd rather a "normal" restaurant, I've heard that both Essink and The Bayleaf are nice but expensive.

Chinese is a no go. Has anyone been to ruffles?any other suggestions are welcome

thanks

Ruffles, was its old name and way better than the current one. The best restaurant in Mallow bar none is the Indian restaurant at the top of the town across the street from paddy powers, it is sensational, fricken amazing and down right good value. A word of warning don't go in to hungry as they take there time in preparing their food, which is always worth it!

Indian is top notch but last time I went in with a group of 14 we were all plastered by the time the main courses came... they do take ages to serve.. look after take away orders first..

Essink is a great restaurant and have a €19.95 deal for 3 courses in the evening. Menu is a little limited but I've always enjoyed any meal I've had there.

The Gallery is great as well if you're looking for a more relaxed night, although I'd stick to steaks, burgers etc and away from the pizzas.

Welcome is the best chinese imo...

I think the Welcome is the nicest in terms of ambiance/atmosphere.
But foodwise, Jumob can't be beaten imo!

Its good but the portions are to small as are the plates, but its good. The Indian is the winner by one hundred miles though.

Jesus thats a bad review alright, i have eaten there twice and to be fair i loved it, but im no food critic!

sunshinegirl

yeah was searching for restaurant reviews online and well that review put me off.
As did my friends not enjoying the food there. The menu looked expensive for simple food.


I went to the Indian restaurant it was very nice,the pasanda was good.
I would like to try the Thai restaurant soon.

I think Essink Restaurant is great value for money you can get a 3 course meal for 19.95 at any time any night, i think they did this recently, the food is really good. I recently went to the italian and i had the worst pizza ever, i prefer the Kentucky's pizza!
Anyhow i recommend essink good value for money at these recession times.

I have been here quiet a bit too, at first i did not like the place but my girlfriend at the time did so we went a few times. It grew on me a little after that, but the Indian is just unbeatable!

On the flip side, I've been to the Italian twice and it's been great both times, and I haven't been to the Indian in a good while as it was awful on 3 consecutive occasions.

Jumbos is excellent, as mentioned. The takeaway from The Thai place is good, but expensive. I got gone-off salmon with my scrambled eggs when I went to the ex-Ruffles place for breakfast. Not sure how the Black Lamb is lately and the Place above Fitzies bar might be worth a look - the lunchtime fare in the bar is pretty good. The Gallery restaurant/bar is good as well and well run.

The Gallery can be pretty expensive and service is a bit hit and miss at times, what about The Arches? It's nothing fancy but good quality food and they definitely can cater for large groups, i'm craving their garlic bread right now!
