The best restaurants in Dundonald Castlereagh South Eastern NI

A lovely café that gives young people with learning difficulties an opportunity to work in a caring environment. I'd be there much more often if I could. Every visit has been a delight.

Two of us had lunch here for the first time. We both had the VKFC chicken with sweet potato fries. It was amazing. The dish comes with BBQ sauce, but my colleague asked could she have garlic mayo instead and this was no issue. Really nice atmosphere, very busy and very clean. Looking forward to my next visit already as the menu looks great.

Top quality fresh and flavoursome food.

First time my wife and I have been and we'll certainly be back. The service was excellent, attentive but not overpowering and the food was of a high standard. We were so impressed with our dining experience in Little Thai that we've booked again in two weeks and intend having a family meal there in the New Year.

Great chinese always really friendly food excellent

Popped in to buy a take away scone When I opened it up the scone wasn’t much deeper than a pancake and felt and tasted very dry and stale I had chosen a fruit scone and all the fruit was distributed round edges leaving the middle completely fruit free. The edges were also overcooked The scone sadly was not enjoyable to eat. Not sure I’d be buying a scone from here again Bit disappointed Perhaps not a freshly baked scone?? Their tray-bakes on the other hand are usually exceptional

Do not pay any attention to the minority of bad reviews! This restaurant is excellent, I would say, one of the best in Belfast. A young dedicated staff, great attention to detail, very accomodating and the food is AMAZING !!!

Food was cold when it arrived which caused it to be dried up

Not great at all.. gone downhill BIG TIME!!

Amazing food but very run down. Went with family for Sunday dinner and the food was amazing as it always is, however when we first got to the restaurant we where greeted by a young girl and a kid (maybe 8/9/10 years old). The kid insisted on giving us our menus, she brought us to our table and dropped the menus on the floor (obviously by accident) but was just very off putting that we where being waited on by a child rather than our waitress. When we were brought to the table our seat was completely mangled as you’ll see in the picture below so my partner and I where almost sitting on-top of each other so neither of us had to sit on the damaged part. While we where ordering our food the kid was like lying her chest/belly on our table holding her head up just starring at us while we ordered and it was just so awkward and weird….got our starters brought out, unfortunately 1 was missing but once we told the waitress it was brought out quickly after. Unfortunately this isn’t the first time I’ve had something to complain about when it comes to the service in Rubys and I don’t like leaving bad reviews for places however, It’s just a real shame because the food here is so so good. The place just seems really run down and the some staff don’t seem to have a clue what they’re doing 😕

Hasn't been called the Elk Inn for ages, now Ruby's, but still brilliant

Excellent, We've been eating food from the Amethyst for years. Love the Staff ,the food and the sevice

Great food . Cooked how you like it.

Have visited this place many times but now I'm reviewing. I've never had a bad time in here, from work nights out to Christmas dinners the food has always been superb! The food still is, I'm happy to say. In the past, I'd say cocktail skills have been a let down but things have definitely improved. The "Cherrie on Top" cocktail is divine. I love seeing the rainbow flags outside hanging for Pride! Best wishes for the future 🧡
