OP I've done a bit of research for you, you can contact these guys and they'll help you out.

Aren't you hilarious....

Actually you are that was pretty good

I feel so stupid, so guilty, seeing debates here over the last while about sexism, transgender issues, the rights of homeowners against burglars, hunger strikes, animal rights, nuclear power in Iran and other trivialities, yet all the while there were people right here in Ireland suffering because of real, serious issues that we all ignored.

We should all hang our heads in shame...

your all so helpful, may as well close the thread now so

Now that you have rang to complain you can never order from them again because when you give your address they will make sure and wipe their dick on your food....unless you like it like that?

You should use the Kambo or let's eat in. Much better and cheaper.

No way this thread is Gas, it has legendary potential.

Have you considered putting it down as a bad experience and moving on and with regards to your rights you have the right to get your food where ever you want get it somewhere else next time!

Can I just be clear of one thing here just from the last few posts.

I have NO INTENTION of suing the place or something haha, I'm more just wondering am I well within my rights to a refund or credit or a new meal. Looking for cold hard facts so when I ring them back up again tomorrow when the manager is in that I can use them

In all seriousness I think you're being insufferably petty but you asked for serious advice so here's my few cents. You're right, her excuses are BS the food should be hot from a customer care point of view but unless it was stipulated then legally the food doesn't have to be hot! Ever wonder why signs in food outlets say 'hot food served all day' etc? Now you know!

Secondly even in the event it was guaranteed hot your problem would be the burden of proof which is on you. You could have eaten the food and then complained for all they know. It's one of those unfortunate situations that unless you brought the meal down to the outlet there's nothing you can do. Unless you scream bloody murder and the manager fobs you off with a few vouchers then you're stuck.

Here's a novel idea, eat it in the restaurant Then you have a case if it's cold.

Oh so when it's FACTS you don't mind them being cold!

What's with all the "I'm so laidback and ambivalent' smartass replies? It's not a big focking ask to expect your already overpriced food to at least arrive edible -and why the hell are Irish people usually all too ready to accept whatever second rate crap is flung at them? No wonder this country is floating down the focking tubes -"Ah shur it'll be grand" :rolleyes:

Giblet

Because you're in ****ing afterhours?

*Must wipe "dick curry" out of my head for the next time i order a take away*

Giblet

Why do you have dick curry on your head? You need to get it into your mouth woman!

If you knew what breed of meat was in you're curry complaining about it being cold would be the last thing on you're mind !!

.....Started to eat the food, around the edges as most would, only to find it quite cold. So went in for the middle bottom, and equally as cold.

Well man, it goes without saying dont order from that take away again.

But sounds to me they reheated the rice/meat etc and then were delivered to you. It wasnt cooked fresh.

Just avoid them man.

OP also complain that Curry is not a chinese dish, its an Indian dish, so you may get them for false advertising there.

"Sh*t Happens"

That place is notorious for delivering cold food. Best thing to do is not order again like most of the other customers have. It's nice when you collect it up there though.

How you went behind George's back though in Manley's is a disgrace to the man. The day of the infamous floods in Dublin the man was still bating through rivers delivering hot curry's to all the rich people of Killiney and Ballybrack!:D Big smiley headed legend:D

cloptrop

You have the right to start your own newspaper then review the takeaway and give it a bad review. Im sure you could afford it with your Killiney house and budget for chinese on a Tuesday .
May be cheaper to just go somewhere else though.

Thread just made me want a Chinese tbh

starbelgrade

I fucking hate Chinese take away food. Apart from spare ribs - I'd make an exception for them.

You should have ordered a half a greyhound and chips anyway.

Why didn't you tell the Chinese vice-president while he was here!!!

A 13.20 takeaway ( including coke and delivery nonetheless ) on Tuesday night...

How do I put a forever alone meme in here ?

This is by far the most pathetic complaint I have ever seen on AH.

That is all.

I doubt that. there has been far worse in fairness.

Only thing I'd be concerned about is whether the food was actually cooked long enough. I haven't had a takeaway in ages (it's OK, don't feel bad for me, I'll live ) but I think I'd automatically just put it in the microwave for a few minutes anyway*.

*Now, as said, this is going from memory, so don't take it as gospel.

OP, did you heat it and eat it?

Ill have it if you dont want it

Did we ever learn what the OP ordered? I would go back and look but I don't want my crispy aromatic lamb with boiled rice and side order of won tons to go cold.

Really? From a Chinese? How bizarre..


I find the Humble Pie one get's in Thai takeaways far superior to the Chinese humble pie.
