Good place for dinner in Ennis?

SalmoTheLeaper

Yeah I'm a big fan of the Mogul indian takeaway above Xtravision (and getting bigger each time i go ) I usually go for chicken dopiaza- Quality! Staff are pretty friendly there too, I landed in there for a takeaway last christmas and they gave me a beer on the house!! Pretty sound of them!! Trying to cut back on the takeaways at the mo though so havent gone in a while. Never eaten in the restaurant, looks nice though.

I thought the food in CoCo was quite bland when I was there. Would have been more of a fan of The Jasmine Palace when it was there.

I'd be interested to hear about the Indian above Xtra Vision too. Where's the best place in town for Indian food do you think?

We stayed in the Woodstock hotel recently and they have a fantastic Indian menu. We have eaten quite a bit in a number of Indian restaurants and this is up there with the best of them. We ate quite a few meals from the menu and they were all great.

We liked the Sicilian in town also and the Abbey Tavern in Quin.

The Mogul [over Xtra Vision] is spot on. Food is lovely there. Have only sat in there once and really enjoyed it. Have gotten takeways 3 or 4 times and never had a complaint either.

+1. The Mogul is great, their chicken jalfrezi is fantastic. I go there quite regularly and really like the relaxed atmosphere. Nice food, really reasonable prices, staff are friendly, and no problem to bring kids. It's the best Indian I've had in Ennis, although the one on Carmody St (beside the Youth Centre) is not bad either (but less atmosphere).

the town hall restaurant definitely gets my vote !!! everything about it is great! the foos is very nice and atmosphere is great

I was there over the weekend and found it quite expensive, Eur 20-27 for a main course..... quite a bit in these times, that's probably why it was only 25% full!

Ya, tis pricey alright, we go there about 1-2 times a year because of the price, but we still think it is the best food in town (just we're too poor )

Been to the Town Hall a few times.
Their dishes are a bit half hearted. Nice meat or fish with a nice sauce, so far so good.
But the veg are the standard Irish pub grub, throw into water, boil and serve.
No sauce, no flavor, no imagination.
The potatoes in that cheesy sauce are nice, but are served with everything.
By international standards the food is halfway there, the veg dull and the prices way over the top.
Mogul Emporer is great, the Holy Well used to be good for a while, then went rubbish, the sadly closed.
Anyone been to the Thai restaurants? Two of them now, I'm amazed!

I used to go to the Thai Palace quite a bit - the Mrs was big into Thai food when she was pregnant. It was great food at a really good price, but then I heard it changed hands and wasn't good at all last time we went. But that was just one time and almost a year ago, so it may not be fair to say that.

Where's the other Thai restaurant ?

Dr Kamikazi

The other Thai restaurant is in Bindon Lane, where the Holywell used to be.
The entrance might be around the other side though, not sure...
If in doubt, Enzo's chips, the one in Parnell Street, nice.
Anyone tried Hillbillies Chicken yet?
I went once and wasn't impressed, sticking with Supermac's snackbox.

Chap who runs the Thai Restaurant came into the clothes shop I used work in to buy a suit. Lovely guy. Wife, kids, grandparents all offering opinions but they were really nice so it wasn't the typical hassle when you have loads of people in arguing. We gave him a 30" waist and had to take it in 4".

Really? I think Hillbillies is far superior to any of the fast food chicken in town, chips and gravy are also fairly good.

They seem to be doing good, anytime I pass the place is there is always a crowd inside

Getting away from all that fast food junk... the OP asked about a good place for Dinner, not scanger munchies...

Went to "Rowan Tree" on Sunday, it was GORGOUS. The goats cheese starter was and pasta spicy tomatoe sauce just melt in your mouth.

And the price of the stuff aint that bad either!
