Tasty food, great location, but cleanliness could be improved
This place is very close to the shopping centre and Kilkenny Castle, which makes it very convenient. There is a free toilet available on site. From what I observed, most of the orders are for takeaway, but there are quite a few tables available for dining in. The food was good, and the waiting time was short.
The only downside was the cleanliness of the tables. We dined in, and our table was quite sticky. I would understand if the place was very busy or understaffed, but we were the only customers eating in, and there were two staff members (not including the kitchen staff). They definitely had time to wipe the tables.
Overall, I still recommend it — the food was tasty and worth a visit.

Reviews
Avoid this kip at all costs. Starter and two main courses 44 euro. No drinks. Didn’t dine in. This used to be one of my favourite places to get food from time to time, can safely say that I will never ever get food here again.
Dreadful, this takeaway used to be a local and favourite of mine went back food has really declined and service was appalling.
Baby back ribs which are usually a favourite of my sons were completely full of fat with very little meat cheapest cuts of meat.
Sweat potatoe fries which were €8 for one bag that was is fairness a large but were completely re heated from earlier and soggy so had to leave both ribs and fries behind.
Spring rolls greasy also left behind, table we sat at table top was so greasy the menu stuck to the table top.
3 of us which one was a teenager and 1 child over €62 in the freezing cold plus we ordered food and drink when we ran out of drinks I asked for glass of tap water for my child waitress said no we only sell our drinks here. Shocked cold, cheap food reheated plus ignorant service and dirty tables while being completely ripped off.
