My housemate and I, travelled up the road to the locals favourite take-away, Ritchie's one Sunday…read more Ritchie's is your standard chippie and serves no b.s food straight up. I ordered a chicken burger and chips, whilst my housemate, a seasoned user, opted for the bizzare combination of chips with beans and thousand Island dressing. She swears by it, I'm not so sure. The price was good value considering the portions served. The chicken burger was a monstrosity of a beast, it came spilling out over the bun with it's bubbly batter looking like strange growths. It was one of those meals which would work better if you could dislocate your own jaw. The chips were also served in a massive long box and were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crispiness. It all felt rather wrong (attempting) to eat this greasy feast as my housemate and I watched Audrey Hepburn prancing around chic Paris establishments in the film Funny Face. I told my accomplice that we would never speak of this moment again. That is, until now. I would recommend Ritchie's for a fish supper or a lazy tea, but just be warned of the supersized portions.

I visited this McDonalds twice during my trip in Northern Ireland, once for a late night snack and…read moreonce for an early breakfast. There are kiosks to order if you do not want to wait in line to order with a cashier. I noticed there were a lot of young adults at this location, and that it was busy during both times I went. Service seems fast despite having a lot of customers inside. What I tried: -Terry's Chocolate Orange Pie is delicious. We don't have that in the United States. The pie is hot and crispy on the outside, and has a semi-sweet chocolate filling, similar to a pudding consistency, with an orange flavor. The overall taste of the pie is light, and not strong or too artificial tasting in either chocolate or orange. -Hamburger: The hamburger is very small and flat compared to the US, but tastes similar, just slightly healthier. -Cheese bites: Also a non-US item. These are tiny mozzarella and emmental balls in a smoky caramelized onion flavored breadcrumb coating. I thought the cheese would be gooey but it was somewhat solid (but warm). It's served with BBQ Dip. -Mini Hash Browns: Got this in the 15 piece instead of the 5 piece. I counted as I ate and there were 13 in there (oh well). I prefer the minis to the flat hash browns (we don't have the mini version in the US). The mini hash browns are crispy and perfect to pop in your mouth. -Sausage & Egg McMuffin: It was okay. The muffin top and bottom are very thin and the sandwich flavor isn't as salty compared to the US. -Breakfast Wrap with Brown Sauce: This is like a McMuffin but in a wrap. I prefer this since it's more filling as it comes with bacon and potato rosti (hashbrown) too. Brown sauce is hard to describe for me. It's not like a BBQ sauce, so it's not smokey or tangy, it's more spiced, sweet, tamarind-y, vinegary, like a cross of ketchup and Worchestshire sauce. The music was blasting at 8 a.m. so that's one way to wake yourself up. I went up to the second floor to eat. There's barstool seating along some windows, as well as grouped sit-down seating. Both the first and second floors were generally clean.

We're visiting here from Los Angeles and needed to find a late night place to eat and this was just around the corner. I've been to tons of Chinese food places where I live and I've even been to China and this was one of the best Chinese food I've ever had. We ordered a variety of food--hot and sour soup, shrimp fried rice, chow mein with seafood satay, etc and everything was delicious! The lady who worked there was also super nice. The food took a while to cook, but they're making everything from scratch and it was worth the wait. It looks like such a hole-in-the-wall place, but it definitely delivers in quality. I recommend eating here!

The Boston offer fresh Chinese food, nothing spectacular, but relaible and served in a clean envoirnment. I find the decor and atmosphere a bit more welcoming than The Ruby Star too, which has a bit of a menacing vibe going on. Their chicken curry is pretty tasty and their chips are extra crispy and yummy. The spare ribs in honey sauce come recommended too. Prices are pretty resonable. I've never had to use their delivery service but have heard that there can be long delays at the weekends. Proabably best just to pop into the Boston in person.

The seemingly unstoppable Irish giant has only dipped its toes into the Northern Irish market, and…read morethis is one of 4 outlets located here in good old Northern Ireland! Supermac's is a combination of the speed and convenience of a Mc Donald's but has more of the quality standard of a local chip shop or takeaway. Its menus consists of a combination of the most popular of al the big fast food outlets, including chicken meals like KFC and burger meals like in Mc Donald's. The standard is always good if you just want a quick bite to eat. Everything is always well cooked and things are served fast, which are the main things you are looking for in a fast food outlet. Where it has the edge on takeaways and chip shops is its small but perfectly formed deserts range, as it has a lot of keenly priced ice cream sundaes and muffins that are very nice for the minimal price! My best Supermac's memory thought is as part of the Des Bishop Work Experience that was on RTE a few years ago. If you have the cash or the spare hard drive space if you catch my drift, check it out and you'll get a slightly harsher insight into life at an outlet like this!

You know, when you enter a Chinese restaurant full of Chinese guests, that means they are great at what they are doing. Same here, the place was full of Turkish customers, so I was confident that this will be an authentic kebab, nothing fancy but good old meat, salad, sauce and pitta. And I was right! Food is great and even though it can busy in the evening, I was always in and out in less than 10 minutes. Their opening hours are great, they also deliver and you can also pre-order for collection.

A little bird once told me, that if you're looking for quality takeaway food, look for a outlet…read morenear a Police Station, certainly this holds true for takeaways in the Belmont area, just a short foot patrol away from Strandtown, and Istanbul Kebab is literally in the shadow of the old defunct WIllowfield station and still going strong, therefore they must be doing something right in my book. The menu is pure kebab shop, the usual array of kebabs on pitta, chips or naan, I plumped for the mixed doner on naan. Service was quick, and in the 10 or so minutes I was in the shop, another two punters came in, this was late on a Sunday, so that's a good sign. Home, and I unwrapped the kebab, there was a lot of salad, a lot of sauce and a lot of meat, I demolished it in double quick time and was struggling at the end, so it was literally a feed for £5.70. I'll be back, good late night filling grub,

Although I've never eaten here myself, one of my housemates swears by their 'chicken rojhan josh'…read more She says it is 'fresh and full of flavours and spices' and judging by the aroma of it, it certainly seems that way. Herself and her boyfriend eat there the occasional weekend and it's their fave take-away in the area. They always have their food ready to pick up pretty quickly and they've had no complaints about the staff either. A glance at the menu shows a starter is on average £2.50, kebabs and their vegetarian counterparts are under 5 quid and main courses are £6.95. Elsewhere on the menu there is a choice of tandoori dishes, chefs recommendations, masala dishes, curry dishes and some highly recommendable veggie sides. I recently had Saag Paneer instead of a main course when out for a friends birthday, it was delicious and perfect if you have small appetite. It consists of spinach cooked with onions and garlic and cubes of curd cheese. I'm sure I'll be sampling Taj Mahals version soon. There is ample parking outside which is very handy for visitors. Taj Mahal also offer a delivery service for orders over £10.

Such good value because I think you would pay £5/£6 for the equivalent dish. Their portions are huge and will have you belt busting before you know it.
