The Indian on pearse st, think it's called something like kebab house, looks a bit dodge from outside but it's actually lovely takeaway Indian, no layer if oil on top of the curries like you'd get in some places, lovely homemade chips and the meat is really good quality

For the first time in ages, I had a salad burger (lettuce, cheese, chilli & garlic sauce, coleslaw etc) from Freda's in Baylough last night. It was REALLY disappointing. I remember she was always a bit tight with the toppings but it's gotten worse. The burger itself was paper thin. About half the size of a McDonald's burger if that's possible! Won't be going back.

Used to love Chips with everything from the diner opposite the RTC back in the old days? Yum!

We have also gotten on well without hover cars and robot servants but it doesnt stop people wanting them. Besides it just means people probably dont know what theyre missing out on.

Pizza Kebabish - Since Just-Eat won't allow me to leave a review....:

A) I'm pretty sure they are diluting their garlic sauce with vinegar

Twice they burned me for the can of Coke. Second time I made sure to check before closing the door, the delivery guy theatrically checked the car for the can of Coke, said he forgot it and that he would come back with it, never saw him again and won't either because I'm never ordering from there again...

I couldn't give a **** about the can of Coke, just don't treat me like an idiot.

Hardly worth bringing an old thread back to life to bitch about your bad experience. Did you let the business concerned know of your grievances?

I don't see why the date matters. My post is relevant, current and I'm keeping the information in one place.

No the fact is if I had created a new thread you would have tried to put me down by saying that it was a duplicate.

To answer your question though, no, I did not speak to the restaurant. If I thought it was simply an innocent oversight (both times) I might have but it very much felt like a premeditated FU.

The idea that it might be the driver acting alone would make me want to tell the restaurant but point A just makes it feel "organisation-wide". Of course it's possible I'm just paranoid

Why on earth not if his post is relevant to the subject of the thread ? (Which it is) - We need all the posts we can get on here to keep the forum worth bothering to look at occasionally....

I tried the hungry monk beside Super Value in Monksland there last week and thought it was really decent, nicest Chinese I've had from Athlone in a good while. Their menu is a little confusing but it was very nice

Never had a bad experience there. The original and best guy who use to have it now runs al lkebabish in moate. Quality. But poppadum/pizza kebabish is still delish. Best Chilli sauce in town.

I'm more into the Tandoori Stuff - Do any of the Indian takeaways in town have a tandoori oven and produce edible tandoori cuisine ? The last time I ordered one in town it was dire.....

Had Bethlehem for the first time there in a good while last night. Thought it was really good.

They have an offer for €10 for a 16" pizza, chips and two sauces, I dont know if just suits what me and the OH would normally order but this is serious value. They allowed me to do half one pizza and half another (one half Hot& Spicy and one half Bethlehem special). So comfortably feeding two people with some pizza left over for €5 each

Hmmmm Bethleheeeem chips!!:D

The Hungry Monk ? - That's a very strange name for a Chinese restaurant.......
