Cafe Paridiso was a bit out of budget and i didn't have much time to research anywhere else, so we ended up at Yaun Ming Yaun (they said noodles and stuff was good) which I enjoyed, but i'm not so sure they did. Is there anywhere around that is vegetarian friendly, more on the casual side of things? It doesn't have to be fully vegetarian, just with a nice few options.

Happy eating guys n gals

I had crab claws in a gratin sauce for a starter and duckling for mains. herself had crab avocado first and monkfish scampi for mains. All were served with veg, potatoe gratin, and chips. With a shared desert and 1 glass of wine the bill was €86. Pricey but enjoyable. Will go again.

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.

nomeban wrote: » Spice Route has the best Indian Curry deal I've ever seen. Go in and ask for the "Chicken Tikka Masala Special Offer". For €6 you get Chicken Tikka, Pilau Rice, Samosa, Poppadom, Naan Bread and a bottle of water. It's a small portion of curry & rice but the whole thing fills you up anyway. I've never tried their other curries as this one is good enough and always hits the spot. The chicken is delicious and melt in your mouth. You can also ask for it to be extra spicy if you like. They don't do delivery so you have to eat in or take away.

nomeban wrote: » No the opposite actually! Only after lunch. They start doing the curries after 3 or 4pm, can't remember exactly.

That place is a carnivore's paradise. There is a veggie option on the menu too, grilled haloumi, but I'd be slow to bring a vegetarian there. A lot of stuff being gnawed off the bone, meat juices dripping all over the place. Might not be everyone's style, but it sure was mine. YUM! Chargrilled homemade marshmallows for dessert with hot blackberries.
