Absolutely and utterly amazing and what I would confidently say is the best pizza in the world…read more That may sound like a bold claim but I really do think it is up there with the best of the best. This place is amazing to get food after a night out or even to take away for dinner. I always try to ring ahead, they'll tell you it will be five minutes but if you call in about 10-15 after you hang up then you will just walk in and pick up the food straight away. If you go in often enough they'll get to know your order and are the friendlist blokes in the world. They know me by name and it really makes you want to go back over and over. It really, really doesn't get much better. Especially if you get a Funghi Pizza or even a Doner Kebab on Chips. The kebab sauce is amazing.

Wow. These guys know how to do good pizza!…read more We weren't expecting too much more than an average pizza from here one evening we popped in ad boy were we in for a surprise, an a treat! The staff are super friendly and really chatty too, which is a rarity nowadays and they have every topping you could want on offer here so you really can go nuts and be creative! We decided to go with chicken, bacon, peppers, jalapenos and onion and the verdict? Awesome! If you're after really authentic pizza which tastes great then look no further!

Can't say that I am a fan of here. This is the first place I ever tried a kebab from and it hardly…read moreleft me ravenous for more! The only thing I was left desiring was a nice drink to wash the taste of the kebab out of my mouth! Much like most places on the Dublin Road, this place is aimed solely at the drunken dollar. They do the usual late night far of kebabs, burgers and chips, and they also do pizzas which I tried when my friend got one and I have to say they were not too bad, which is why this place has got a two star review! The shop interior is nice and clean, which is more than can be said for some takeaways in the local area. But after the positives there are always the negatives, and for me that is the kebabs! The meat is rubbish quality, with the only discernible flavour being salt! You can get any sauce and garnish you want, and I would advise you to use them to mask the flavour of the meat!

They do kebabs in here (obviously as the name states!), and pizza, for some strange reason. I think…read moreI would trust an fast food place like this a bit better if they specialised in one type of food and did it really well. The places that try to cover all the bases make me nervous, because you know something isn't going to be quite right. I haven't had the pizza from here, but we recently got a dirty great big kebab after a trip to the cinema down the road and it was my second experience of having a kebab, after only recently having my first one at the grand old age of 28! It wasn't bad - a bit 'drippy' with the sauce and all that, and there wasn't lots of meat - but it was okay considering kebabs aren't exactly haute cuisine. I think I preferred the first one I had elsewhere though...

This branch of Istanbul Kebab is just around the corner from our new rental, so we can say we are…read moreregulars now. The first time I entered I knew we'll get some really nice takeaway here. 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,

Yet another great sandwich place right in the heart of the city centre at the back of Donegal…read moreArcade, Sarnies is a wonderful place to get yourself sorted with either a mid morning snack or a quality lunch! The Signs outside are dilapidated and the interior is basic with all the space dedicated to the showcasing of the food on offer, but with seating space outside if you want it ( that is fortunately covered to hide you from Belfast's real "charms") this isn't an issue.What matters here is the food, and oh mama is it good! The sandwiches are all freshly made on site with fine local ingredients.There are a wide range of choices, whilst you can order up anything you would want just by asking. The man who runs the shop is a chatty and friendly person who is one of these people who seems to know everyone around town!He also knows what I want usually before I say anything which is probably a poor reflection on me.... but I can't help loving their white rolls with chicken, ham, stuffing and cranberry sauce, it is like Christmas in a sandwich! There are a changing variety of daily soups and stews, and other options like mini frys and sodas to appease those who want something a little different. Everything is reasonably priced too, which is another bonus. I personally loathe the "sandwiches" at subway with their mediocre bread, processed fillings and scandalous prices, and I wish people would abandon them for places like this which have quality food at a price that doesn't stretch the pockets!

One of the cheapest yet most fulfilling little places to eat in the city, if you're looking for a…read moresandwich then this is your place. Sarnies, good name by the way (i'm a fan of it, I don't know why but there is something quaint and local about it) is situated just off Royal Avenue so it's perfect for the lunch time shopper and or tourist. When I landed down I had a meatball sub which I'm not too sure if they do now as I didn't see it last time on the menu. The meatballs were lightly spiced in a rich silky marinara sauce, loaded with sticky cheese on a submarine roll. All that for under £3 cannot be beaten. Check it out.

Incidentally I didn't have pizza and didn't hear any jazz - no sign of bleeding gums anywhere! Ended up being a great place to meet. Really handy from GV Station and the City centre. Coffee was pretty good too. I went for a filter coffee and my pal opted for a fanta orange. There was even some free wifi to use. They were cooking up a storm in the kitchen and the pizza's smelt delicious, unfortunately I had to rush off to another meeting. The staff were great - let us have a table even though we weren't eating - I'll definitely have to go back to try the grub and I noticed they had beers on tap too. Great place for a pre theatre meal and a few beverages! Who knows I might get to try their offerings at the Pizza-Off!

It's funny when you pass a bar/restaurant a number of times but never actually think of trying it -…read morethat's me an Pizza Jazz basically until this Monday's fab pizza event hosted by them. The place itself is nothing special but it looks very Christmasy now and I appreciate that. You can "hide away" at one of the back tables which again is a quite good arrangement I think. Staff was very attentive throughout the night and even though we were not paying customers (I mean we only paid for a couple of drinks) they were really helpful providing great service. Also, their entry to the pizza off was a really nice one, not my absolute favourite but I would be a happy customer if I ordered that one - and I'm a bit fussy about my pizza ;) Overall, I am happy to get to know this wee place and definitely will be back to try their menu.

Not for them an olive focaccia, you are more likely to get a corned beef on plain sandwich bread but it'll only cost you about 3 quid with a drink, and that makes a difference when you are working in town. OK, so you might be greeted with a quick 'what's yours' but at lunchtime there's no time for pleasantries, there'll be a queue forming behind you!

From sausage rolls to soup, sandwhiches to pies, this place does it all and does it well. So well infact the queue is often out the door at lunchtime! There is no seating area so it is strictly take out but you wont mind once you taste the food. Its as cheap as chips with sarni's ranging from £1.50-£2, baps, rolls panins and baguettes. Their baked potatoes are amazing with lashings of beans and cheese...mmm. And on a cold winters day, and lets face it folks this is norn iron, we have plenty of em, the soup is delicious and comforting! Then for the days we are 'watching ourselves' the salad bar is a must! There's loads to choose from and the coleslaw and potatoe salad are fab! I'd eat a tub of each on their own! This wee gem really does have it all and they're not afraid to fit as much as they can into your sarni's-to my delight. Its cheap, delicious and I cannot wait to go back!!

Probably the best pizza bases you'll find in town, really tasty, plus these guys are proper Pizza…read moreChefs so there's no milk lurking in these stone baked bases. We had really great veg topped pizzas minus the cheese. So it is possible to get a delicious vegan pizza here, which with a bit of olive oil added was scrumptious. But it would be wonderful to see some vegan cheese and/ or specific vegan pizzas listed on the menu - hopefully these will appear in future. Bella Vita is both a small, beautifully decorated, BYOB restaurant and also a takeaway. There are also a few outside tables and staff are exceptionally helpful. Perfect location for a mate or date night out, especially before heading to the nearby cinema to enjoy a movie.

If memory serves me well, the Windmill Restaurant has been going strong in Belfast for the last…read moretwenty years or so. It's not fancy by any stretch of the imagination but serves good, reasonably priced food. Despite the name, this eatery is really just a basic cafe and not a 'restaurant'. However if you're after a fry-up (vegetarian options included), soup, paninis, chips and other such lunch or breakfast options then this is the place to visit. Over the years I've found Windmill to offer a good, consistent standard of food. The poached eggs on toast are spot on as a slightly healthier hang-over cure, especially with lashings of black pepper.

My time for the Windmill is late, when the streets are dark and you've went out for a drink after work that kept getting bigger and all of a sudden you realise you've had no dinner and it is a school night. This is when The Windmill comes into it's own, providing all the starchy goodness a reveller or late night worker would need. OK, so a cheesy chip may not be haute cuisine, but once you've had one here after the pub, you'll be craving one every time you just walk by.
