    Seems we have a new Indian in Trim, drove past it on Sunday and think it was called Masala Twist, it's in the same (doomed) place as the kebab shop and Thai Noodle was.

    Just googled it and came up with this

    http://masalatwist.ie/?page_id=7

    Now i THINK the logo for this place was exactly the same as on the new takeout, if so then it looks good

    They've got stiff competition with Khan Spices!

    We will certainly give this place a go. We like Khan Spices but have found portions to be smaller and one or two inconsistent dishes in recent times.

    A bit of competition would be no harm, that sister restaurant looks nice according to that website.

    Thumbs up for me. I've had the Chicken Tika Masala and Chicken Korma so far and I hate to say it but it's better than Kan's. This has now split my family in half as the last night we got take away my father and sister got Kan's while my mother and I got Masala twist.

    Is it a Red Indian or one of the original varieties?

    You can decide. Trim already has a fort and is known to have some cowboys as well :)

    Tried the Masala Twist this past Sat. night and discovered the chicken tika was almost raw in a few pieces. The rest of the order was ok but the raw chicken put us off the whole meal and it was discarded. It was an early take away so may be the cooking time was shortened but don't want to ingest raw chicken.

    Serving raw chicken is a serious health breach! Did you make a complaint?

    We ordered thru 'justeat.ie' and posted at least 3 reviews indicating uncooked chicken, however so far they have not appeared on their site. As mentioned above, the starters were ok and only after starting on the main dishes did we find some of the chicken tika pieces were just a notch away from being raw. That ruined us for the rest of the food and it was discarded. I posted the above as a sort of heads up if your order from them. It was an early order and was probably pulled too soon from the oven.

    I would have contacted the restaurant directly or called up to them to get an explanation! I don't think Justeat would include a comment about "raw chicken" on their site, considering they earn their money from commission sales.

    i tried it a few weeks back with mixed results, my doner kebab was very nice but portion bit small. wife had taco kebab which was just ok and her nan was burnt, unable to eat half the nan.

    got side portion of aloo gobi which was nice but again portion very small.

    my son had nuggets and chips, unable to eat the chips as they were under cooked by about 5 minutes.

    will give it one more try in the next few weeks.

    WTF! Why would anyone order burger, chips, doner kebabs, nuggets, etc., from an Indian take away?

    Maybe because it's a Kebab house and some 5 year olds don't like Indian food and wanted chips and nuggets.

    2 out of the 4 things i got were nice, 2 were not = mixed

    4 from 4 not nice would be crap.

    That spot, along with the unit next to SuperValu seem to be cursed. I can remember so many businesses in those 2 spots, all of which seem to fail.

    The entire Athboy gate seems to be emptying really, in the last year or 2 the Priory, Supertaste and the hairdressers have all either closed or left. I really miss Supertaste though :(. It was shoddy, cheap, fatty rubbish but by God it tasted good, especially after a night out in Xangos, which is also gone....
