I am not looking for "free range, organic, locally grown chicken" - just decent quality fresh chicken - like you would by in a super market. And not in a ready mead meal - what you describe sounds like that.. I would rather eat a cheese toastie that a ready made meal… these processed meats are full of extenders and binders of all kinds.. reformed meat - yuk.. so i would avoid on that account.. depends on one's standards i guess.. but like i said, if i go out for something to eat I expect it to be at least on a par with what i would cook at home..

The chicken I had in there was a fresh chicken breast poorly cooked - not processed chicken. You are accusing a restaurant of serving processed reformed chicken without any evidence whatsoever. That's not on. I had the same issue with chicken in Waga Mama's. Chicken was dry and overcooked as it had been pre cooked.

What is your beef with this restaurant? Please stop making unfounded accusations about a restaurant that you have never been to.

The other pizza we tried was a goats cheese one with mushrooms which was delicious.
the beer revolu wrote: » You formed your opinion from eating there. What chicken dish are you referring to? I didn't enjoy my chicken there. I wouldn't order the same chicken dish there again. I am confident that the chicken was pure chicken breast (it was the chicken salad I had with a whole chicken breast). I've enjoyed everything else I've had there - including the chicken pandan. I have no problem with people having different opinions to me. I do have a problem with people who haven't eaten in a restaurant making damaging accusations.

Is it a cork thing to use what i think is oregano in Indian dishes? Iyers is well up on my list, but i'm thinking more of a "get home from work and want a curry and some popadoms" type!

I live in the northside also and was looking for a place that would deliver recently and we were going to try there - haven't yet though. There's also an Indian in Glanmire - I think it's called Star of India.
