Temple in Belfast

Went on Wednesday 29th Nov. Food was amazing as always and the two girls serving were exceptional. My son is special needs and they interacted so well with him. He is non verbal (one word answers sometimes) but they asked him what he would like and he replied chicken. They were extremely helpful,pleasant and very welcoming. So thank you for our experience as we don’t get to do family meals often.

Well was in tonight and the serviced by a girl called called Michelle served us food was incredible. So friendly and accepting. This girl is a credit to the company. Would come back solely for the craic and the hospitality.

I love the temple food is always super hot and comes really quick I had the mushrooms for a starter and the were delicious then had turkey ham and stuffing for dinner it was beautiful good portions and cocktails r nice

Had a great lunch in Temple restaurant. Excellent quality food at a very reasonable price. The staff were lovely and very friendly and helpful. We had mains and dessert and both were delicious

I just want to say I had the most spectacular meal at temple. I was served by the most happiest, friendliest, and attentive waitresses i have ever experienced. Claire and Michelle. Best service I have have ever had. amazing. special . We will be back for the waitresses alone

Ein Traum, kleine Karte alles frisch zubereitet nette Bedienung, was will man mehr?! Achja, bezahlbare Preise, haben Sie auch 😉

I can’t fault the food it was perfect but we waited 30 minutes from starter to main. This did frustratingly spoil the occasion which is unfortunate.

Food excellent, fresh, warm, tasty. Staff courteous and friendly. Good price for what we ate. Cocktails amazing. Highly recommend.

We have been here before and always enjoyed it but on the last visit we were disappointed. Steaks not as good as before and could do with a bit more on the plate ie mushrooms, tomato, The corkage charge has also increased significantly as we were charged 2 x £3:50 (so £7) not sure if this was for 2 of us or 2 bottles

We visited The Temple on Thursday for a lunch with mum and daughters. The food and service was excellent and our server Colette went above and beyond especially for our 81 year old mum.

We ate here last night, table of 4. All our meals were delicious , fantastic service and lovely interior. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return

Great service from arriving and food was superb. Quality Sunday roasts and delicious desserts. Usually nervous booking for large group but will definitely be back. Great afternoon with the family.

I haven’t done a review in years probably because of covid and apathy but after the meal in the Temple I must review because the meals consisting of mushrooms and cheese garlic bread starters followed by massive sirloin with side and Guinness pie and champ were superb. A couple of cokes and a bill of £39 helped. The service was great and everything was on time and pipping hot. I’ll be back and would recommend it.

Très bon repas, personnel très agréable. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Nous étions 7 personnes et avons été très bien accueillis

Great food with friendly staff lively atmosphere family friendly over all brillamt restaurant will deffo be back

We went for the early bird menu. Staff were very helpful despite the restaurant being very busy . The food was excellent and good value for money. Steak was cooked to perfection and was very tender. It’s not fine dining but definitely worth a visit.

Family meal x8, absolutely beautiful. Everyone enjoyed their food and the staff down to earth and friendly. Will be back soon!

We recently visited the Temple for dinner. The food was very nice and the staff friendly. Would highly recommend good food reasonable prices and a good atmosphere. Well done.

Solo quiero agradecer al personal de Temple por una agradable velada y una deliciosa comida. Habíamos reservado para 7. 45, y aunque algunos llegaron tarde, esto no me molestó en absoluto, comí fishcakes y un sirlion, ambos fueron presentados y tenían un sabor encantador. Todos en la mesa estaban llenos de elogios, ¿sin duda le darían una bofetada si ya tienen las gracias de nuevo por parte del personal de yum?

We always enjoy a good meal out here whenever we’re over in Belfast. Relaxed friendly atmosphere and good traditional food. The pavlova is amazing!

Fuimos para el servicio de almuerzo buena comida precio caliente razonable Me sorprendió que pedí la mitad de las papas fritas y la mitad de arroz para el pollo con chile y llegaron mezclados. Comimos en otros restaurantes y estaban separados, no tendrían otra vez. El ambiente era amigable y cálido, pero aún así dejó de lado.

Hemos comido aquí unas cuantas veces, generalmente con un grupo grande. La comida ha sido siempre buena, me encanta el pollo tempura. Gran selección en el menú, para diversos gustos. Nunca un lugar para el desierto sería solo una queja, el primer plato y los platos principales son deliciosos y abundantes.

Very poor experience compounded by the fact that Paul (owner) was aggressively defensive and unwilling to accept any feedback whatsoever despite given the opportunity to discuss. He even told me I was making things up. We will definitely not return to Temple and good luck to any customers attempting to share feedback with Paul.

Great lunch- large portions and reasonable prices. Cute building and nice interior. It’s a redone home turned into restaurant which makes for a cozy eating experience.

Weekend visit to Belfast. This place had great food and I would go back again. You can also bring your own wine. We ordered breaded mushrooms, mussels, onion tartlet with goats cheese, scampi and beef.

Nice staff nice food quick service. Good variety on the menu. Chicken was very dry which is my only negative comment.

A warm welcome greeted us and the staff was so accommodating. The food was so tasty, it was really good . I hope we can visit again before we go home .

El templo es realmente una joya de restaurante.

First time there and thoughly enjoy the meal food was excellant and the staff could not have been more helpful and pleasant. Love everything about it .

Haben super lecker gegessen...nettes Personal..kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.

Really loved this restaurant, the staff is amazing and the food is even better! I’ve had burgers in quite a few different countries and I have to admit, Temple’s is the best!

been here a couple of times with the wife and kids, always a nice atmosphere and nice food, reasonably priced.

Lovely meal, great service, pleasant staff. Food was piping hot, with very good portion size and the surroundings are lovely.

I ordered the Pork Belly ( scrumptious) all of the accompanying sides were delicious & cooked to perfection! A must have!

If you are a visitor from any part of the world to Belfast. Make sure you visit the Temple restaurant in West Belfast. Here you have excellent food at reasonable price served up by very friendly staff and most likely by the owner himself Paul....

Called in here for Sunday lunch. They were very busy. The servings were huge, I had a child's portion - I'm an adult - my aunt had a child's portion too and the third person had an adult portion. Good value for money,

Went for an early dinner to the Temple on Saturday. Everything was excellent, as usual. The staff were very efficient and courteous and the menu was varied and very reasonable. Service was quick and the atmosphere was very nice indeed.

You cant go wrong here. The food is great and the waitresses also excellent. Very popular and recommend booking on a saturday night

Nice food, reasonably priced, decent portions, brilliant staff. eaten here a few times and I will be back.

We have visited Temple a few times and are always pleased when we leave. They are very accommodating and always make sure we get a table downstairs to suit the mobility challenges of our party. Staff are always friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. We had a mix of starters first off, squid, cheesy garlic bread, mushrooms and chicken tempura which were all very tasty. For mains 2 of the younger children and the ribs which they loved , Burger from the kids menu was perfect and three of us went for the green curry which looked lovely and was nice but was missing something so tasted a bit bland. Deserts followed which, the usual ice creams, brownies and cheesecake which were all very tasty.

Cuatro de nosotros nos fuimos para la cena y bebidas y pasamos una noche maravillosa. Los precios de la comida y del vino es bastante razonable, pero también puede traer su propio vino.

Viernes 10 de noviembre visitó para el almuerzo. Llamamos poco después de las 12 y rápidamente nos llevaron a una mesa. Mientras que el restaurante estaba bastante tranquilo cuando llegamos pronto llenó. La camarera fue muy amable y sonriente, y el servicio era rápido. Curry verde tailandés tenía pollo y mi marido tenía pollo goujons y patatas fritas. Compartimos la avellana y tarta de caramelo. Factura Total que incluía dos refrescos fue de £24. Bien merece una visita.

Ambos tuvimos una cena maravillosa aquí, pastel de carne asada Steak & cena. ambiente encantador, amable y atento. camarera a buen precio

As always, I return to The Temple when visiting Belfast. The food is consistently good, the service is excellent and the price point can't be beat.

Ha sido algunos años desde mi última visita ya que fue totalmente decepcionado con la última comida. La gente dice, ha mejorado, así que decidí intentarlo. El restaurante es precioso por dentro, personal configuración vieras muy amable no taaan hablador jefe. Me dieron suprema de pollo con puré de patatas y salsa de pimienta, que venía con col y tocino. Primer pollo como principal nombre del plato era miniatura. A través de raciones de bacon diminuto repollo, buena parte de col y puré, thankgoddness me hambre.

Once again an absolutely fantastic meal. Hubby and I went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and going to The Temple was just the perfect ending to a wonderful evening. I would have no hesitation on recommending The Temple to anyone, staff very pleasant, food gorgeous, tasty and warm, and the ambience and atmosphere was excellent. A BIG thank you to Paul and his staff for making our night. We will definitely be back.

Having been long loyal customers of Temple the way we were treated by apparently the manageress was a complete disgrace .We had booked a table and when we arrived there were 3 empty tables for two downstairs but we got the one beside the toilet door !!! I politely asked if we could have one if the other tables but was rudely and dismissively told NO they were booked well so was ours ! We decided to leave and will not be returning I did contact the owner but it would appear he cares as little about his customers as the so called manager he did respond in a very defensive manner and said he would look into the matter I am still awaiting a further response !! There are lots of choices in west Belfast now and we will certainly be giving our money to restaurants that treat people with courtesy and respect.

I came here with my husband and two children. The kids menu was great and had lots of choice. Child number one went for the roast beef and child number two went for the cheese burger and chips. Both loved their food. I had the roast beef also which was really tender. It came with mashed turnip, broccoli and a side of mash potatoes and gravy. It was really delicious. My husband got the battered cod and chips. The batter was nice golden and crisp and the fish was delicious. We had two courses for £15. Husband had chocolate fudge cake and I had pavlova for dessert. Both really tasty. Kids meals came with icecream and a drink. The waitress was really friendly too. We had a lovely relaxed evening here. Will definitely be back.

Have been here for a few meals and it has yet to disappoint.. food is delicious and know dearer than anywhere else, good sized portions and a great menu.. Staff are brilliant so friendly and helpful. its well worth a visit will be back again.

I brought my wife on our Anniversary for dinner to Temple Restaurant when we arrived ( we had to pre book - advisable ) ,The staff are very friendly and helpful they got us a table right away no waiting the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere . There is a great menu and super tasty food good home cookingThis establishment is well worth a visit and we will return here for a meal in the very near future.

Great food at great prices! I have been going here for over five years now and have never had a bad meal. Paul and his team keep standards high, and the food is second to none. Staff are brilliant too, always eager to help!

I and my family would love to recommend this wonderful hidden gem to all food lovers. The staff, ambience and food are all top quality. Great menu and super tasty food. Well worth a visit or two...

I recently took my family out for a nice meal. Restaurant was great, food was lovely and the staff were very friendlyI would definitely recommend

Amazing food, amazing staff beautiful setting firm favourite and I'm always well looked after as I've a nut allergy the staff couldn't be more helpful and always feel save and well fed coming here.

Had a Monday lunch in the pleasant surroundings of the restaurant. Tables were well placed. Service staff were pleasant and efficient.Food better than expected. had a main of roast pork and a bowl of mussels-and what a bowl. Apple crumble with custard was very light and easily eaten. Reasonably well priced. Could easily drive passed so be careful. Would definitely recommend.

It has been a while since I have been here. The food was absolutely delicious, the flavours absolutely amazing. The staff are always welcoming, attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

3 of us had a 3 course dinner for £16.50. I'd not been here before but chose here because normally Sunday lunch finishes at 3 or at the latest 5pm, but Temple continues to 7pm. We had a great seat upstairs beside the window with the sun streaming in. The walls are decorated with photos by a local photographer which I enjoyed looking at. We started with chicken tempura, prawns with wheaten, and carrot coconut and chilli soup. We loved them but especially the soup- so tasty and different. For mains we had Sunday roast, lasagne and steak and Guinness pie which all came with choice of side. We weren't going to, I'm not fussed on desserts but we took a look at the menu anyhow. I noticed that choice of coffee was offered as a dessert choice as part of the deal which is something I haven't seen before. But I chose cheesecake. They say the Cheesecake Factory in the states has the best cheesecake but this cheesecake was better than any I've tasted there or anywhere else for that matter. Glad I chose the dessert over coffee! Anyhow, it'll not be long until I'm back here. There was a great atmosphere, the food was served really quickly, the waitresses were really friendly and professional and the cocktails were great. I'll be telling all my friends. I only wished I'd arrived earlier and I could have sat outside in the sun for a while with a cocktail before dinner.

As always we found temple staff very accommodating and there attention to detail very good. Food served well and on time for our whole table. Standard of food excellent.

I have been here a few times with family for lunch or early dinner. I love the way they have kept the character of the old house, and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Generally the food is good, especially the traditional dishes such as sausage and mash or burger, but we have had a few disappointments too. On our last visit (weekday lunch) the mussels were small, not very plump and served in a sauce which appeared to be made only of cream, with little flavour. Other good was all fine but service was slow and we had difficulty finding someone to bring our bill and take our money. So, a nice place to eat but room for a little improvement.

Have eaten in Temple many many times and have always been net with a smile and a warm welcome. Love the food have tried most of the dishes. My favourite has to be the thye green curry. Excellent. The meat was lovely and tender and the sauce was delicious. Can't wait to go back again next month

Decent trip to the Temple restaurant today. Starter came out really quick and was a tad cold, could tell it was pre prepped. 3 of us ordered 3 steaks. 1x Ribeye and 2 Sirloin. 2 out of the 3 steaks were of good size, the other, looked a bit less than advertised 8oz. Service was good, quick and friendly. Price good too. With some tweaks could be a good spot for food in local area.

My family eat in this restaurant regularly, Ever meal has been of the same high quality, The rib eye, in particular, is my favourite and can also recommend either of the choices of pies. They do not scrimp on the filling with large chunks of succulent meat and veg in either the beef or chicken pies. Consistent high quality.Staff are always friendly and service is quick and professional. Any excuse to return, There is parking to the rear and off road. Also easy to get to by public transport,Highly recommend

This must be amongst the finest value restaurants in the city! Saturday evening 3 course for £15.95 between 4.30 & 6.30pm.Service is always excellent and the food is always tasteful and fresh. Extensive menu. Wine is not great if you're a wine fan but the £2.50 corkage on bring your own helpfully sorts that little issue! A real winner every time however I would love to see more of a presence on social media .... spread the word!

Called in starving after a long day. Staff were great and found us a table even though they had bookings coming in soon. Had the roast stuffed pork fillet and veg which was just the kind of home cooked food I was in need of. Would def recommend. Lovely staff and good craic too. Will be back.

Came here on 17th on a whim . It's a lovely day out and friendly.I got the mussel starter .Hmmm the mussles were tiny. Either they are not in season or the chef hasn't sourced his sea food. I then got the thai chicken with rice and fries . With a nan. Maybe we are spoilt in Glasgow as our Indians are some of the best in the UK and nann breads are the size of pillowcases but the nan in the temple ....like the mussles was tiny.The thai chicken curry Hmmm I've never had it with no coconut milk and Hey leeks in it must be a new thing but I'm afraid I'd try the small claims court for trade description as this wasn't in any way a thai curry.the chef needs to go read a book on thai cooking and maybe not buy supermarket nann breads .For the price ..im underwhelmed

Good menu, good food and nice surroundings. The staff were very warm and attentive making it a restaurant we would return to. We were part of a large group and with its multi levels it was ideal for large groups and small.

This must be the hidden gem of Belfast. We decided to eat out at the last minute so did not expect to gain a table but as luck would have it someone had cancelled. Our experience was an absolute dream , staff couldn't do enough for you Their knowledge of what was available the menu, second to none. choice of food covered all tastes and requirements. When the food arrived it was exactly as we had requested as my wife has a few little things that she requests but doesn't always get in restaurants. The quality of the food was outstanding, we will certainly be back.Taking into consideration the quality of the whole experience it was very reasonably priced and not hard to pay.

We went for birthday Sunday lunch and it was perfect. My friend brought her own wine as this place is BYO which is a big plus. We also brought our own birthday cake and just ordered a bowl of fresh cream and ice cream.It was really busy but we got the attention whenever needed. Waiters did a good job. Will definitely be back. The roast beef was tender and the steak was delicious. I absolutely loved the garlic chips.

Great resturant with a real family feel about it. Staff couldn't do enough continuously checking everything was fine - which It wasFood was delicious as we're the cocktails . Couldn't fault this place at all. This was our first visit and won't be our last.

This is a great spot with lovely food and very reasonably priced..BYO ALSO..although it does have its own bar bringing your own favourite wine is a bonus..

Pre booked for a birthday lunch at what was a busy session, so pre booking recommended. Promptly seated, drinks ordered and served. Unable to order food when requested as no menus had been provided. Oops. Quickly sorted. Carbonara went down well as did chicken goujons, wrong dip provided and changed without issue as was the red wine glass which was provided with prosecco. Bill redone to remove one item incorrectly added.Overall a pleasant experience with a few hiccups but the staff were great and everything was sorted without fuss. So I would recommend at least giving a try for lunch. I know I will be back.

We just had a beautyful birthday dinner in temple to night the only thing was the service was slow ,but the girls were luvy we will Deffo b back soon

Nice to find a good restaurant not in the town centre or somewhere out in the sticks.!! Local favourite of my mothers, I was pleasantly surprised at how good food was and at a fraction of what it would cost if in the city centre!. Very friendly, great service, great food . Happy mother!!

I have been here many times and have yet to get a bad meal. The food is always of high quality. And the portion size is generous. Had the steak with pepper sauce and really enjoyed it. Good staff who are curtious with a great relaxed atmosphere. Just unpretentious good food.

Went here with a large group last weekend,1st time ever here and I must say the food and service was top drawer....i will definitely be back

I ate at Temple a few weeks back, went on the Sunday and their Roast was absolutely amazing! Definitely be returning for another roast!

The moment I walked into the place the staff were brilliant ,my family surprised me with a meal and I wasn't disappointed with either the service or the food both were spot on.There were 16 of us and nobody was left waiting on their food all served together and food piping hot.Great wee place and would recommend

Best place for food Staff are first class and they go the extra mile for you. Have been and few times and will be back again.

we had a lovely meal in the temple, the food was good the service was great, the staff were friendly and attentive, Great hospitality Paul we will be back soonmaria mc

This came highly recommended , we tried this restaurant , uncomfortable big backward looking house , hard to park , staff lovely , food menu was expensive , chicken gouging starter ,tasteless and greasy , fish was exact same . We paid over £30 , and just left our mains , not we expected .

Great food, freshly made and served in good time. Friendly staff and nice relaxing atmosphere for an evening meal or a lunch date. Reasonably priced and they also do an early bird menu if you are working on a budget. Portion size good. Choose between one, 2 or 3 courses. The premises are licensed but, you can also bring your own bottle and only pay a small corkage fee. Great for a romantic meal for 2 or for groups and family gatherings (birthdays/christenings etc.). Seating both upstairs and downstairs.

As we have reviewed before i again have to say this place is great. Paul the manager/boss is very accommodating and helpful. All in all a must when looking good proper food I had a steak it was one of the best I have had my wife had the Thai curry and loved it Thanks to all the staff

great mealgreat atmosphere great value ..great menu and bring your own wine plus sample their great cocktails or choice of coffee

As the title says this place is always good food with great service, the prices are reasonable WELL worth a visit so good we have just booked for Sunday night

Breakfast, Lunch or dinner THE TEMPLE IS BY FAR THE BEST IN THE WEST..Food is always outstandingWarm Relaxing atmosphere with friendly helpful staff no matter what the occasion let the staff know as they always go an extra mile to make it specialTotally recommend for any special occasion or just for some nice grub

Great food and plenty of it ,nice family atmosphere and friendly staff made for a pleasant and worthwhile experience.
