The Restaurant Recommendation Thread

Faith

There's been a crazy number of threads recently looking for restaurant recommendations, so I'd like to start a specific thread for it. Please post below about your favourite restaurants - why you like them, what price range they are, what type of food they serve, if they have an early bird, opening hours if you know them, where they're located. If you could include a link to the website, that would be great. The more details, the better. This is not a thread to post negative reviews - there's a thread in the main Food & Drink forum for that if you like. Basically, I want this thread to be full of recommendations, not positive and negative reviews. That being said, you can disagree with a recommendation briefly if you really feel the need to, but you must have a really valid reason such as an awful experience, rather than "I don't really like the food" or "It's too expensive".

Does anybody know where the Lai Qulia restaurant is? It used be where Coriander is now. I thought they closed down but I ordered from them the other day on Deliveroo.
I have no idea where it came from. They don't offer a collection service either.

Isn't it next to coriander ? I'm pretty sure I noticed the sign yesterday ..

Did anyone try eatstreet on it's opening weekend? Really interested to see how it is

Burgers are unreal. Wish I had ordered 2.

Chips not so much. No better than standard frozen oven chips

was that 30 from when you ordered or from when they left with the order?

It was 30 mins from when the food left the restaurant, per the Just Eat notification we got. It was maybe 1 hr & 15 mins from ordering to the food arriving to us.

We went with Mirch Masala (on Popes Quay) last night. The food was excellent - we shared a portion of butter chicken and various sides between the two of us and it was just the right amount of food for a dinner. The prices were somewhat high, but they seem on par with other Indian places I've eaten at. The food was delicious.

On reflection (and reviewing other orders I've made!) the price is probably on par with any takeaway I've gotten in recent times. It came to just over €30 for a dinner for two. Reasonable.

The only drawback was delivery. We live relatively close (less than 10 mins drive), but delivery still took the bones of 30 mins (we got a notification that the driver was on the way via Just Eat). Perhaps the driver had other orders to drop off before us etc, but the food was a touch colder than one would have wanted.

I would not hesitate in ordering again from them, just would hope the delivery is that bit quicker.

FWIW, the have their own online ordering website / app and offer free delivery & 10% off when ordering directly with them. We used Just Eat as we had One4Alls to use.

Got takeaway from Tequilla Jacks last night, they included a Tequilla Jacks face mask as a free gift with the order which I thought was a really nice touch!

Has anyone got food from spit jack recently? Thinking might do order from them this weekend? Looking to get a main course.

I'm really fond of the jian bing from LaoDao on the corner of Paul Street, across from The Roundy.
Jianbing are a type of crepe. They are really tasty and handy to eat. I like the plain one. Also comes with a variety of fillings duck and pork are nice, too.
They also have an Asian Street Food menu but I haven't tried this - fairly standard stuff.

First visit there today at lunchtime after reading your recommendation yesterday, I'd agree very tasty. Think the duck one is worth a try next as I had the basic one today. For anyone interested this is what a Jianbing looks like.

Beef Tiriyaka. It was a big enough portion but was 90% noodles and noodles aren't exactly expensive so don't see how it cost so much

Thanks. Would normally go for their stir frys or currys, will know to avoid the noodle dishes now as we only go there when we are starving!

Pre ordered them for this coming Saturday. Hopefully it will be worth it

€13.90 on the menu?
It’s steak is it, rather than a cheaper beef?
Most dishes are around €12, so if it is steak, it’ll be extra. Not saying it’s worth €14 either but not sure why you were charged €16.

Teriyaki Ramen on Deliveroo is 15.90

I think Cask might be a good option alright and she definitely has a lip for cocktails. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions

With Cask be weary some of the portions are small so make sure you get enough. Tasty though. Few veg & fish options too.

Had Soba there. Not sure why noodles, a few slices of beef and teriyaki sauce costs 16 euros.

Pure rip off

Since you're all on about Sober Lane, any idea why no pizzas? Would have thought that would be something they'd offer for collection but doesn't appear for order. Just going there for goujons or wings (not really a burger fan) seems meh for me.

saw that advertised on the Naturally Nourished fb page - where is the actual premises? couldn't figure it out... burgers are not my thing but I am big fan of Naturally Nourished so I am sure its good stuff (sister co. I believe)
