    Great place to stop in for a quick, affordable and delicious meal. One sandwich is around 5£. There is limited seating inside and outside of the restaurant. The meat is super tender and flavorful. Definitely a great place to visit.

    Great news Cuban Sandwich Factory now has a new, bigger store! Don't worry though, they aren't corporate sell outs, everything you liked about their old shop is still alive and kicking. They've just given themselves some room to maneuver. The new store is located right at the top of Queens Arcade - as mentioned there is a lot more space but the old ordering system still remains. It's very simple - when you walk in you order, usually at the cash register but when I went a member of staff came to us. You are then given a ticket and you wait for your number to be called. Exactly the same as 'Chef'. The menu is also still the same - great value and flavoursome sandwiches are the order of the day. I went for the traditional sandwich for £5 along with a homemade lemonade. Unfortunately I drank that before my order was even with me. Love the new set up and the food - in terms of value for money it's about the best you can get in the City centre!

    Yum!

    I've been meaning to try this place since I first heard about it. I happened to be in town at lunchtime on Saturday and decided to make a point of going at last. I found it easily, right at the end of Queen's Arcade, the shop itself is tiny and it was packed! I had a quick look at the menu and decided to go for the Ropa Vieja - shredded beef and cheese, to go. When I got home and opened the package, I initially thought it didn't look like much, but it tasted absolutely amazing! It was so full of flavour and totally delicious, can't wait to go back for more!

    One of the most authentic food outlets in the city that I have come across, tucked on the corner of queens arcade and fountain street the smell alone lets you know you're near. Must do for lunch.

    I have passed this place a few times without checking it out. A friend recommended it.

    Popped in for some lunch while passing through and was greeted by happy and friendly staff. Said it was my first time trying the establishment and she immediately began to run me through their menu. I went for the Cuban Reuben. It was lovely, slightly over toasted but still a good sandwich. I will be back to sample the rest of what sounded like a great selection

    Classic Cuban - £5. Can't beat the crusty bread. Food coma inducing!

    Most flavorful lunch I've had in NI so far. The small store in the arcade is stuffy but it is well worth the brief sauna to retrieve a delicious, filling sandwich for £4-5. I fell for the bread, unsurprisingly--it was toasted and pressed to be crusty but was not tough at all, providing the perfect chewy texture to complement the salty pork, cheese, and pickles it enclosed. I could've had more pickles to offset the salt, they seem to use those quite sparingly. It was one of those instances where halfway through the long baguette, I thought to myself, "I should stop eating this," but somehow 10 minutes later the whole meal was gone. Cue food coma in the afternoon at work. It is a heavy enough meal that I could imagine going maybe once a month at most, but I would relish the greasy meaty treat. If you work downtown, definitely visit the Cuban Sandwich Factory at some point to insert some variety in those all too common cafe lunch sandwich options!

    Classic Cubano, amazing!

    Such a gem around the city centre of Belfast. Was there this morning and got a classic Cubano sandwich and it by far exceeded my expectations (which were already pretty high). Amazing staff were both kind and friendly and provided great service. Will be back again before I leave in a week!

    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.

    You can say that McDonalds are all the same. I disagree as I have been to some rough ones but this…read moreone, In Belfast, hit the top. Freshly cooked sandwiches in an extremely clean restaurant. Friendly staff. I'll put this one in my top five. Well done guys and gals.

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.

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,

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.
