Best take away in Galway?

UrbanSea

I've seen a few take away related threads appearing lately and thought it would be a good idea to start a thread.

What's peoples' opinions on the best take away?
I'm trying to locate the place with the biggest kebabs...Tasty Bites used to do a lovely one and it was huge,but alas,no more. Anyone know where I can get one?

Norio's is probably my favourite take away at the minute.
5 quid for a quarter pounder meal with a dip delivered,can't go wrong.

Norios is my favourite anyway, i think capital kebab do a fairly big kebab

UrbanSea

Is that the one beside the Eglington no? Norio's kebabs are delish,just not humongous.

thesandeman

Capital are currently the biggest for Falafel anyway.
It comes in nan bread as opposed to pitta bread so its very filling. Chips not great though.

WesternNight

I've recently discovered Mizzoni's and am quite impressed with them.

edit - ah, kebabs, no idea.

snubbleste

Whichever one of them serves swan burgers.

I would have said Charcoal but now im converted to Capital Kebab. Better service, way better pitta and prices are a little better too i think.

lezza

charcoal grill ftw

joeKel73

Kebab House have the biggest I think, but there's a quality/quantity cost with it...

^ Same as this. Capital are really holding it up to Charcoal. Doesn't get the messy queues of Charcoal which is great, so keep it to yourself!

Vinny's on Dominic st. Best chips EVER

TheCosmicFrog

This needs a poll.

It really depends on what I'm in the mood for (and what pub we're coming out of at 2am). For pizza I'm a fan of Apache. For chips it'll be Vinnie's, McDonagh's or Kettle of Fish. For a burger it'll be an Angus from Burger King. For a kebab I'll go with Charcoal Grill.

yummycakes

Charcoal Grill all the way, best chili & garlic sauce, but they do give you a crazy amount of shish chicken!!

ourtrail

Charcoal Grill for sure. Especially after a night out it cant be beaten. Jack Jordans in Doughiska is also fantastic if you are getting food delivered.

biko

Best take away is the pizza place on Cross Street and second is La Salsa in my opinion but for kebabs I used to be mad for the Charcoal stuff, haven't been since last summer though.

Agreed but after last nights experience won't be going there again. Ordered 3 large chips, 3 battered sausages, 1 portion of sausages, 1 chicken nuggets, 1 tub of curry and 3 cans of coke. Got back home to Knocknacarra to discover 1 chips and 1 battered sausage missing. On receiving the food I had asked again if all of the above was in it and was told yes. Should have checked I guess, but won't be going back.

thesandeman

Jeez happyoutscan :-o
And I thought urban ate a lot.

You must be joking. Very hard to get nice chips in Galway, and vinnie's are like mashed potato with some deep fried bits stirred in.

UrbanSea

Ordered a kebab and a snack box meal from Norio's there. 10.60 delivered,not half bad.

Still meaning to try pizza shack,but low on the bean.

KylieWyley

Charcoal Grill (the original one, opposite the cornstore).

Claregalway123

charcoal grilll...............5 euro for a doner burger meal...........even late at night,,,,,,,,,great value

inisboffin

First time in to Capital Kebab this week and SUPER impressed! Loveliest fish burger I've had in ages nyom nyom (and to think I was once mourning Supermacs' decision to axe their codburger Capital's beats it hands down).
Prices very good too and staff really sound.

mizzonis TONY'S WOWTASTIC DEAL IS SAVAGE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

Shryke

I like La Salsa the best. Huge delicious portions for a decent price.

ben.schlomo

tried a pizza from Pizza and Pasta Napoli beside Neachtains last night, unreal, hands down best pizza in Galway, authentically Italian based on the Italian guy making it. Prices very good too.

UrbanSea

Hmmm reading this is making me hungry. Had Al Fredo's the other week,where Tasty Bites used to be out near GMIT. Snack box was excellent for a fiver,with a dip and can.

TheCosmicFrog

I don't know if it counts in the traditional sense of a takeaway, but the student specials menu from Scotty's Steakhouse in Cúirt na Coiribe is really good value for what you get. Juicy hotdog, big portion of chips and a can for €6.50. Sit down or takeaway. There's quarter pounders and chicken goujons etc. on the menu as well.

UrbanSea

I was never down there but I've heard some excellent reports.

One of my friends lived in Cúirt this year so we'd put on a film and nip down for a takeaway. The stuff from the regular menu is lovely too, but priced as such. Tried the vesuvio burger the last day. Half-pounder with mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce and bacon. Nom nom...

I've been eating at Scotty's since the Casual Gourmet/Grill days on Middle Street. Those were the days...

UrbanSea

Mozzerella cheese,marinara sauce and bacon?

Oh dear Lord...I wouldn't have been able to contain myself.

Wait even better would have been that on a chicken fillet burger.

I've never had La Salsa,what are the burritos like?

ben.schlomo

haven't eaten in La Salsa for a good while but always found there food way too greasy. no matter what i got the aftertaste was always grease.

pretty big if i remember right, the chicken caesar was my fave. Sometimes found the rice in them was hard/burnt though.

UrbanSea

Hmmm...might try it as an alternative to a kebab some time.

Madame Razz

I had Capones chips for the first time last week. Jesus, they were savage; best chips I've had in Galway bar none. Proper Italian chipper chips. Serious nyomage:D

Pizza Napoli is hands down the best pizza i've ever had

They're quite nice actually, but very filling. I'd only go for a half-burrito if they have them.

I don't get the number of people who've been saying that. I tasted it for the first time a few weeks ago and I have to say, I was really disappointed. I've had much nicer pizza elsewhere. Ray's New York Pizza beside the Central Bank in Dublin is a lot tastier. And I honestly think I preferred Ed's in Eyre Square when it was open.

thesandeman

Has the chipper part of Apache (sp?) opened yet?
I was looking at their breakfast menu last week and its the cheapest in town (veggie with all the bits for a fiver). Breakfast stops at ten or something so no no good for me.

kraggy

Where's Norios?

zero19

It's beside Gleann na ri

Eds was the best in Galway by a mile, id go there ahead of Napoli if it was still open, but the ones in Napoli are very good, far fresher and more authentic than the likes of Monroes with their burnt cheese top. The fresh pizzas are better than the slices too.

It's really funny you said that... I spotted Rays in Dublin and we went in to grab a quick bite a while back after being at a gig before legging it West:)
I had thought to myself 'mmm, slices, just like Napoli in Galway - yum'. Well I was reeeeally disappointed, no flavour at all in their plain pizza, and really dry. I had a bite of my friends (think it was pesto) one with extra stuff, and only marginally better. Their chips and dip was grand, but I think Napoli beats them hands down. The sauce on the pizza in Napoli is particularly good.

I am still mourning Bianconi though...

ben.schlomo

just had an 'after Roisin' Vinnies and seriously poor, cannot understand how anybody thinks its good. Got a mexican fries (average)and chicken fillet burger(or deep fried chicken burger from Dunnes), really poor and wont be going back again. Real let down given the rubbish some people say about it. Average at best and thats being very very fair.

Ah man, you should have tried their Irish Breakfast or Pepperoni pizzas. Both were amazing...

I don't go for the burgers or chicken. I always get sausages and chips. Their chips are lovely and the sausages are your typical chipper-types. Nothing gooey or messy.
