    Certainly is. Paulo Nuttini commented on it after he visited Athlone for a takeaway.

    Remember the good old days when a battered sausage from the genoa was heaven.

    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.....


    The silver oak on church street has a decent tandoori menu and since it opened a year ago it's easily the best Indian in town. They have a restaurant in Mullingar for years

    Chinese - Row Inn Row in the Bawn (or Lotus opposite the Garda station if it's after pints over that side of town). Has Imperial on Northgate St. folded? It looked closed the last two times I was in Athlone.

    Indian - Mother India (just don't order the Madras without putting a toilet roll in the freezer first). I haven't tried that Silver Oak place yet, but have been a fan of Mother India for several years.

    Kebab - the kebab shop a few doors past Alfredo's heading out of town. The one on Pearse St. is similar, but the guys there are seriously scabby with the chilli sauce unless you remember to ask for extra.

    Chips - Mario's, Savio's, Alfredo's or Bethlehem (their pizza used to be decent too, although I haven't eaten from there in at least a few years)

    Thai - Kin Khao (yum!)

    I don't really know of any great pizza places that deliver - any recommendations (anything other than Apache - bleurrrrghhh!)?

    No demand for it.

    Only way to see if theres a demand is to open one up or at the very least ask. I certainly never saw a questionaire asking if we would like one or not did you? The "no demand" argument cant be used in situations where something has never been attempted or really properly discussed.

    Ok then lets start here and make it simple:

    1.) Would you be interested in a Japanese restaurant or take away?

    2.) What do you know about Japanese cuisine?

    3.) Do you like copious amounts of Sake?

    1) I'd try it and decide then
    2) Very little. But I know a lady born and reared not too far from Athlone who has books out on Japanese cooking and food. So I could quiz her more. She also says there's no interest in Japanese food much in Ireland, apart from some niche bits and pieces in bigger urban areas
    3) Can't say I do
