I’ve posted before about Let’s Eat In, a takeaway with branches in Blanchardstown, Shankill, and Sandyford. The portion sizes are substantial and many of the dishes will feed two people.
Last weekend, I picked up one of their best dishes, the Chickpea Chana Masala (€7). I wasn’t enormously hungry so opted for it as a side [...]
Just-Eat.ie are currently running a truly excellent promotion: €5 takeaways in Cork.
There’s a very impressive range of options if you order through the Just-Eat site, including pizza, pasta, chippers, kebabs, Indian, Thai, and Chinese:
Bully’s restaurant: 7 inch pizza, garlic bread or french fries, plus a can - €5
Lennox’s: 2 small chips, 4 sausages, a chicken [...]
There’s a street in Dublin 8 that runs from South Circular Road at Dolphin’s Barn down to the canal, that has to be one of the most desolate stretches of retail I’ve ever seen anywhere. This street has a closed-down hair salon, a closed-down cobblers, a closed-down butchers, a closed-down shop that looks like it [...]
Thousands of years behind the Aztecs, Mayans, and Western civilisation, Mexican food has finally arrived in Ireland. Lidl is currently promoting Mexican specials, M&S has launched a new range of Mexican food, and the past year has seen the opening of Boojum on Dublin’s northside and Pablo Picante’s on the southside.
Okay, okay. We’ve yet to [...]
Way back when people were sneezing cash and feeding it to their cats and gerbils, Bistro Spice was well ahead of the curve. While the rest of us were bathing in fillet mignon and sleeping with tins of foie gras - you mean you weren’t? - this unassuming little Indian restaurant in the reasonably well-to-do [...]
I’m not a big fan of the old sangwich: one too many lunches where the cardboard packaging and the contents became indistinguishable. O’Brien’s slop has also turned me off the very notion of a filling in bread, although I’ve yet to try Rachel Allen’s signature creations.
Last week, I was wandering around the Stephen’s Green area [...]
I’d heard great things about Bistro Bianconi, but always put off ordering. Hmmm, it does look and sound lovely, but I’m always loath to pay for takeaway pizza. Dominos, with their horrible stodgy dough and sinister, shiny toppings, charges around 16 for a 12 inch pizza. Four Star, which jostles with Domino’s for the title [...]
I got a pasting last year for slagging off Ray’s pizza, but I was kind of asking for it. My gripe was that the pizza, although delicious, was overpriced. Our reader Nanazolie agreed:
A pizza is cheap to produce. I make some at home for less than 3 euros. The dough is essentially flour, water, [...]

I love Chinese Food. I love it so much I’m giving Food a capital ‘F’.
I’m prepared to try anything and have been insulted a few times on Parnell St when waiters in authentic neezers have told me not to order certain dishes because ‘there not suitable for Irish people’. Call me weird but I like [...]
This might be the best takeaway deal around. Marsella’s, a chipper in Churchtown, Dublin 14, is offering chips, a burger and a can of Coke for €3. The offer is valid all day.
Marsella’s will also be giving away 1,000 free bags of chips once they reach 1,000 followers on Twitter.
Burdock’s excepted, I’m not a big [...]
