I seem to be fierce lucky with midlands Indian restaurants…read more Yaadgar is located in a charming little courtyard off of Tullamore's main street, and what attracted us was big sign that advertised two courses for €15. And this was during the evening, not some sort of early-bird special. We were greeted by a very polite gentleman and shown to a table. The restaurant itself was decorated on the fancier side of the standard Indian decor template. There was only one other table there that evening, who, although they arrived before us, were still there when we were leaving, their plates long since removed. There was a decent variety of dishes on the specials menu. I ordered a Peshwari kebab for my starter, and a chicken rogan josh for my main. The two courses were served almost simultaneously. A Peshwari kebab is in essence a lamb burger - which was grand - and the rogan josh was very tasty. I was pleased to see that the two course deal included naan breads. It's always nice when they don't try to stiff you by not including such essential extras such as naans. I can't remember what the other two lads had, but it's safe to say that we were all thoroughly satisfied. The service was very prompt, almost too attentive - there was a waiter posted over my shoulder almost constantly, and he took up the bill almost the second after I'd paid it. I've mentioned before that I'm a teeny bit uncomfortable with the idea of being waited on, but I suppose i'm nit-picking, and I'd no doubt be giving out if the service was slow. Just as we were leaving, the chef and (I assume) the proprietor himself came out and shook my hand, which was an unexpected and nice touch. One word of warning, though - they bring you out a little saucer of toffees once you've finished the meal. I ate one which was soft and yielding, and when I chomped down on the second one, assuming it to be of a similar consistency, I almost severely damaged the muscles on the left-hand side of my jaw, so watch out for the toffees. Lovely food, excellent service.
My boyfriend and I stopped here for a quick lunch. We were super hungry because it was way after…read moreour normal lunch time. We were completely new to Killkenny and had no idea where to go. It didn't help that all the businesses around here close after lunch hours and then reopen for dinner! So, we saw the words pizza and decided to give this place a go. Atmosphere: Typical pizza joint. Ordering counter with tables to sit at. Good amount of windows with natural light. Fairly clean for a pizza place. Service: We were greeted very pleasantly and our order taken quickly. We ordered from the counter and then were told we could sit to wait. While we were waiting, the gentleman who took our order came over with out drinks and a vase of bendy straws and napkins. I personally was delighted by this because who doesn't love a bendy straw? Our pizza came out in 10 minutes or less. Granted it wasn't incredibly busy, but we were very happy because we were so hungry. The pizza was even delivered to our table. Presentation wise the pizza looked great! When we left we were also thanked profusely. Not too often that that happens! Food: Both my boyfriend and I got 9" cheese pizzas (personal pan size or 6 small slices). They were pretty darn good. Much better than we were expecting. The crust was delicious - crispy but not over done and still doughy enough to have that Italian bread flavor. The sauce and cheese were good as well. I also appreciated that the pizza wasn't greasy. If anything I would say there could've been more sauce, but that's because I like more sauce then most people. It came out nice and hot too which was great because it was freezing outside! I can only speak for the pizza but I feel I should mention that interestingly, this place also offers American fair such as burgers, wraps, fried chicken, fish, etc. and kebabs of all sorts. Different combination of food offerings than we are used to, but all the more power to ya! Cost: Totally reasonable. Our pizzas were 6 euros each and we had sodas too which were 1.5 euros each. Everything else on the menu is pretty cheap as well. We both ate for under 20 euros which is a bonus in my book! I would say give this place a try, absolutely. Well worth it.

The location is amazing, right by Dublin castle, temple bar, and river liffey. The restaurant is small but the tables are big. Food is always great! This is my second time here and I love the chicken shish, beef koobideh, and beef shish. It's a bit of a fusion place, as for a side you get hummus or tzatziki which aren't Persian, but it works well, and I'm sure it's great for non Persian people who may be more familiar with those items than more traditional cuisine. The prices can't be beat either. Such a good bang for your buck in the city.

We came across Zaytoon and wanted to give them a try. The ambiance was nice. It had a nice cafe feel. Plenty of booths, tables and spots to plug in and charge a phone. What blew me away was the hospitality! The staff were all extremely friendly! They wanted to give us a sample of everything! After the meal, we checked out the dessert menu. When we mentioned liking the ice cream they offered a sample, then a full portion! The meal was perfect too! We both got the chicken kabobs and accompaniments. It was so fresh and delicious! The freshness of the produce and meats here is next level! The mango ice cream at the end was a wonderful way to end the meal. I'm not sure if this is a chain or a mom and pop, but it definitely gave the feel of a stand alone restaurant.

The only down side to the food was that the platter for two was all burnt and tasted terrible, I was surprised that it even came from the same place, luckily I had ordered enough food to discard the platter, but seriously, sort out your basic onion bhajis!

Luckily, one of the girls had had pizza the day before, so the latter won. Unfortunately, there isn't much along the motorway, so we had to go into a city/town and this trip we chose Portlaoise. What luck! We found the Portlaoise Chinese Restaurant by chance while we walked through the centre. On one side there's a takeaway and on the other, a modern and sparsely furnished dining area. I ordered my favourite, chicken with cashews and veg with fried rice. What arrived was a beautifully presented bowl of chicken with piles of cashews and vegetables. Just piles. And lovely fresh fried rice. I'm so delighted that I didn't fill up on the 2 baskets of prawn crackers they gave us. Just a word of advise if you're blowing into Portlaoise, head to this place.
