The Definitive Limerick Restaurant and Takeaway Thread

I cannot even explain how amazing the pizza is in four seasons at groody

Tried the Jasmine Palace buffet yesterday for the post Christmas party Stoney recovery therapy. The food is still nice but they've removed some things like the Thai curries, the black pudding, the pizzas and the sushi. I love sushi so am disappointed. It's just not the draw it once was. I think they've now upped the seating capacity and downed the selection and space dedicated to it!

Just got off the phone to making a complaint to Indira. I'm not really the type to make a fuss about things but they were taking the pish. Starter platter arrived out cold. The prawn main course, arrived out with three prawns (supposed to be 6-8 prawns for 15 quid) and said on the menu you get a portion of poppadoms with a main course which didn't arrive.

I won't even get into the fact it wasn't nice (but that's neither here nor there), it's holding out on what is advertised is what really got my goad. Spent over 30 quid there. Needless to say I won't be returning.

In Kaya over the weekend. Group of us all thought it was very good.
Aroi still better though

The Thai Gourmet is better than both

Just back from Australia and it was my first stop for takeaway food.

Run by the guys who used to work in Apache years ago. So greasy and the chilli sauce is still amazing!

No way a healthy meal, but it brings back great memories and great for a hangover

I don't even think the owner of Thai Gourmet would agree with that, I'm stunned to hear it but each to their own. You know what you like yourself.

They all have their benefits. For me, Aroi is the best by far.

+1 for Aroi but Thai Gourmet is by no means bad. I'd say it's a very close second!

I was happy to get take away from Thai Gourmet a couple of times a year but I found it to be a fairly poor and watery version of thai food, inoffensive but bland I would say. It still beats the hell out of any Chinese restaurant in town with the possible exception of the Jasmine.
Since Aroi and Kaya have arrived in town I can safely say that wild horses wouldn't drag me into Thai Gourmet. Is it possible though that they've upped their game in the light of the new competition??

tbh I've never found it in any way bland or watery when I've went in there, I always taught it was very well cooked and good quality ingredients.. Now Kaya is great too, I've only tried Aroi once and it was good but I'll definitely have to give it a go again.

Aroi is amazing, most authentic place in town imo. The tom kha gai is phenomenal.

Is the Jasmine Buffet really a shadow of its former self? Thinking of taking a few friends before Xmas but dont want it to be a let down.

bigpink

Never been to the Jasmine buffet but the restaurant itself is grand but lacks something

Excellent service in the Wokking last night - two irish girls working there. One with dark hair one with blonde hair. Utterly professional and lovely !

Has the Jasmin replaced that filthy carpet yet?

Not at all. Give it a go. I'm not a huge fan of salt either.

I was just going to ask if that place is any good, would normally head for the spice of india in town.

I've seen Spice of India mentioned here on numerous occasions as being the benchmark Indian in Limerick, I've eaten from there 5 or 6 times including once a few weeks ago and while it was absolutely fine I wouldn't rate it any better than most other Indians around town past or present. Have always meant to try out that Cream Room but for some reason it never registers when I'm thinking where to go.

I'm interested in other opinions on the Barbeque place on Henry street, I was in there shortly after it opened and was mostly disappointed, burger was excellent but everything else I saw or tasted wasn't great, any recent visitors care to relay their experiences??

Was disappointed with my visit. Had the pulled pork wrap and it was very dry and the pork pretty tough. Found the menu options a bit limited too.

Was in Zweton Fr. Russell Rd. other day.

16e for starter, main and drink (bottle beer/ soft drink / wine).

Great value, simple dishes done well, all nice and freshly cooked.

They have very fast service. I wouldn't say it is some spectacular authentic Chinese but it is good quality simple things.
