Will have a look, the little one wants a Flickr for her birthday so will shop around.

Tried Camile last night - very impressed with my noodles dish, not so impressed with the curry dish we got. I rang in advance and the food was ready when I got there 15 mins later. There was some confusion about the order but it was ok in the end and we got free cashew nuts so that was good. We wanted a sharing size portion that they had on the online menu but they didn't do or know about that option in Blanchardstown, so we went for the two mains for 20 take away option which was pretty good value.
The shop was really nice and there were a good few customers around. It has seating for around 18 people. Camile has definitely added to the village and hopefully Diep, Mao and Camile will all survive.

MrMaki · 11-09-2015 1:10pm

I was waiting long for this shop as on the other side of the boarder they have really good prices.
Went there today to find that they got mad... 1tb ps4 €493, bought the same one 3weeks ago in argos for €
349
Lego star wars large set €188, same one in Smyths €139.

I'm really surprised does toys r us thinks celtic tiger times are back?

Staplor · 11-09-2015 2:27pm

I was in there too, they certainly are pricey, I had picked up a toy for the kid the night before in Tesco for €6.99, it was €8.99 in there, and looking at other toys they were all quite pricey.

I saw that too.
I saw that the Twister game was 2 euro cheaper in Toys R Us (15.99 vs 17.99). It was the only item I checked - just a random check.

L1011 · 15-09-2015 10:02am

TRU are clearly stocking stuff through the UK and shoving a further margin on top.

Surprised at that as I did all of my lego shopping in ToysRus Newry at Christmas as they were so much cheaper than Smyths - even including the petrol I still saved.

That star wars set is £129.99 stg in Newry now which equates to roughly €180 ?

Smyths appear to aggressively discount Lego after it has been on sale for a few months.

Tried Camile. It only took 15 minutes to deliver (it was at 10 on a weeknight though!) and the food was really good.

Has Mao opened yet?

ThisRegard · 18-09-2015 3:05pm

Had some Camille at lunch, bloody gorgeous to it was.

Mao looks a while away from being open, the interior is still pretty much a shell, but if you walk by it on the street it looks open.

ThisRegard · 25-09-2015 8:25pm

Mao at Home is now open.

January · 01-10-2015 9:47am

Not sure if it's a relocation or a new shop but Baby Elegance are opening a store in westend retail park beside champion sports.

They have a store near Coolmine fire station. Maybe they are closing that store.

Wouldn't be surprised...don't think I've ever seen a single customer in there any time I've driven by

Had my first Camile last night. Delivered on time per time I requested on their online app. Have to say it was fantastic! I tried same green curry meal I had in Diep a few weeks ago and it was even better. Definitely getting my repeat business!

Unusual considering Toys'R'Us which also just opened will have a Babies'R'Us instore in the same park. Lots of competition!

I've tried them twice now. Super quick delivery both times. I had the satay chicken noodles the first time and they were lovely, if a bit too spicy for me. I got a duck massaman the second time and it wasn't a patch on the duck massaman in Diep. It was bland and had very little duck in it. The rice was bland too. I'll give it another chance though next time I couldn't be bothered driving to Diep. Diep's delivery charge is too high. It's free in Camile, for now.

The one in Coolmine was emptied this morning so they're obviously moving.

VeVeX · 09-10-2015 11:13am

I've tried Camile twice now. The first time it was excellent but the second time it was really poor. We got the same dishes both on both occasions and the difference was like night and day.

I sent them an email outlining my experience and they haven't bothered to reply. Wont be going back.

athtrasna · 09-10-2015 11:50pm

Wanted to get Camile tonight but couldn't get parking anywhere near it. Didn't look very busy at 8pm. Diep on the other hand was packed but I has no problem getting handy parking. Mao at Home was empty bar two teenagers.

ThisRegard · 10-10-2015 7:23pm

There's the carpark behind the Vineyard or whatever it's called these days. Mighy still be plagued by champers but you could run in, order and head back to the car.

Still plagued by clampers. 24 hour pay & display. If the choice is pay to park to get Camile or park for free by Diep/Mao there's no contest.

Is Camile a sit down dining place also or take away only? I saw some tables outside but not sure if they were just decorative or for customers waiting for their takeaways?

ThisRegard · 11-10-2015 12:58pm

There's seats inside and out so you could eat in if you want.

There's always ample parking by the Church, it's literally a 30 second walk from camille

Instead of holding their hands up and acknowledging the inconsistency in their product they rang me back and said they were replying to another customer with exactly the same name as myself who'd also had an issue from another store (Sutton). They offered store credit to a lessor value than the original order. I suggested they give the credit to a charity.

They called back and gave you credit, fair enough I think.

You would think so, I had an issue with the branch in Phisborough sending me the incorrect meal which unfortunately was something I couldn't eat

I contacted the store and they were very polite and quick to reply and offered me credit for the meal, I was perfectly happy with this as I wasn't looking for anything, was just letting them know that someone else probably got the wrong order also

The credit never materialised, despite me chasing it up (as it was offered I was going to use it), this left a bit of a sour taste
I have never had an issue with the food itself though when it has been as I have ordered

athtrasna · 24-10-2015 7:53pm

Got food delivered from Camile last night. Not overly impressed. Noodle dish was fine but curry had zero kick and arrived with brown/wild rice rather than the jasmine rice ordered with it. Back to Diep it is so.

ThisRegard · 25-10-2015 11:42am

Diep is nice, but their Singapore noodles are the tamest ever. They taste good but there's no kick, mostly chicken with every little pork, and no prawns whatsoever when I got it last night. Basically all it was was noodles and chicken.

ciaran76 · 25-10-2015 1:08pm

Had a takeaway from Camille last night too. A curry,Singapore noodles and pork belly.

Was nice but it all came to €31. I collected it too and seemed very busy.

athtrasna · 25-10-2015 5:04pm

Just had a call offering me a free starter from Camile for the rice mix up but insisting their curry was standard and that all their other customers liked it. With all the Thai options we now have I have no reason to continue to give them my money. I know my Thai food and that curry was not right.

Spot on. I got a green curry from Camile and it was tasteless. Diep is delicious, love the place and won't go elsewhere anymore. Really cannot see how Camile gets all the plaudits it does ðŸ€”

angel eyes 2012 · 26-10-2015 6:50pm

I was up in Camile the other night and noticed that they advertise on posters and on the menu that their beef and lamb is Irish and grass fed which is fine. However they only mention 'irish chicken' on the children's menu. Does anyone know if all of the chicken is Irish that they use as they are the only takeaway (I'm open to correction) in the area that mentions irish chicken? I appreciate this may be off topic a little but I am always wary of the origin of meat that I eat and Camile is ahead of the rest of takeaways in D 15 by printing the origin of their meat.

Toto Wolfcastle · 26-10-2015 7:11pm

I don't know if it's on their menu but Diep certainly does give the origin of their meat on their website. No idea about Camile.

Thanks for that. Diep mention that their beef, lamb and pork is of irish origin but nothing about chicken as far as I can tell! Again happy to be corrected

Maybe just an oversight on the menu and their About webpage, I wouldn't imagine they get in separate chicken for adult and children's dishes, it would be odd if they did and would have me reconsider.

They just tweeted that all of their meat is of Irish origin, they must have seen your post on here!

I popped into the new shop that has opened in Mulhuddart in the big ground floor unit beside the butchers. I was pleasantly surprised. There is a fairly good selection of clothes for men, women and children mostly new but there are a few racks of second hand. There was washing powder and toilet paper, toys, books and other bits and pieces. Reasonably priced.
Worth a visit for sure.

Similar experience to the one I had when I complained. I got the impression from the caller that she thought I was making stuff up or being unreasonable and the phone call was purely to appease me rather than addressing the complaint. I didn't like her approach at all hence why I told her to give the proposed credit to charity because I wouldn't be back.

If they had held their hands up and said right we fecked up, sorry about that, here's a complimentary meal to the value of the original meal I would have accepted and gave them another chance.

Didn't know this was there will pop in for sure.

Some of these are stores already opened but article in today's Irish times about new retailers at the SC.

Wow, €150,000 rent for that little place where Art and Hobbies is.

PixelTrawler · 13-11-2015 3:03am

Thats 3k a week before any other costs. You'd want to be shifting some amount of stock.

ThisRegard · 13-11-2015 10:16am

Yeah, it seems like crazy money considering the price range of the products they sell.

Supermacs opening on Navan Road in Mulhuddart in March and are hiring staff per link. I'm guessing that's at the new Maxol service station under construction on the N3. Makes a change from McDs or BK I suppose.

Sure yer man that works in Rosso's barbers next door to Empty Pockets told me many moons ago that the owner was paying 100K for that small unit. And that was bloody years ago.
