The best restaurants in Newry and Mourne Southern NI

Waited 40 minutes for our food (breakfast) and it was clear that the young staff ‘feared’ the man / cook in the kitchen . I’m my view his attitude was not acceptable and he came across as a bully just watching how he spoke with the staff and their reaction. Other than that the food was good, abd the young staff were all friendly and pleasant, but I don’t think I would go back purely because of how the staff were treated.

Horrible company to deal with. Or at least, the owner of Dublin franchise Brian, was an absolute nightmare to deal with. He almost never answered his phone or texts, whatsapps or emails. When he eventually did answer a message, he just lied about following up on the issue in question, and did nothing. We were booked to provide services for this company on 3 different occasions and we had keep chasing them again and again for the payments. In the end, they eventually paid us for two of the services, but they kept fobbing us off about the final payment, promising to "look into it". Eventually, it seemed the company closed down, which I am not surprised about, given that Brian was so unbelievably disorganised and tried to blame others for his mistakes, which in turn caused delays and led to us having to change arrangements to accommodate him. Nevertheless, we managed to accommodate his requests and we were very flexible and punctual for him. And that was how he repaid us for that - by trying to get away with paying us and eventually never paying the debt for one of the services. It wss a relatively small amount that he owed us, but we are a small business, so everything counts. He was a bigger business, taking advantage of smaller businesses like mine. He knew he could ignore us because we don't have the legal backing or funding take non-paying clients to court. He is an absolutely despicable person, and no one should ever let him run a business again. And I would be extremely embarrassed if I was the owner of the OHO franchise, which is an international company, to know that this was how their franchise was being run by Brian.

My electric was off in the storm so what better way to eat than a sit down meal. I have been a few times. The staff are fine and a previous comment about a rude male worker is not taking into account cultural differences. I have come across a few Chinese males who seem rude but actually that is never their intention. They are just super efficient. I choose the two course evenings meal deal at just £12.00 a bargain. Slight disappointment that there was no English dish included in it as a fancied a chicken supper meal As a starter the salted chilli wings were actually fabulous garnished with strong lightly wok fried onions. I choose the honey chilli beef, otherwise known as shredded. There was a lot of sauce and chilli peppers and onions which made it a little unappealing and too spicy. Fried rice was ok. The lady serving was a typical Newry person rough and ready but friendly and attentive. For the price Monday to Friday before 8 o'clock meal deal is grand. Will be back.

First time trying so went for Had the chicken curry rice and chips was delicious with big chunky chips very filling definitely will be back 😋

I wouldn't usually be a fan of the typical "Sunday dinner" but I must say the food here is always of excellent quality and great value for money... very hard to beat these guys.

Absolutely horrible customer service was greeted with a “what do u want” and a 45 minute wait on a 12” peperoni pizza. The dough was perfect however too much sauce was applied sort of turned to a tomato soup pizza lol.

I agree with Frankm’s view. The couple who run it do work hard and are always courteous but to be honest the flavours don’t wow. We usually go for chicken tikka nan kebabs, but really only if we are stuck. The fact is I can buy M&S chicken biryani, their finest chicken tikka masala, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and non breads and rustle up bloody good chicken tikka nans at home. There’s three bonuses doing it this way - one, and most important, the food actually tastes better, two and almost as important, we know what’s in it and there’s no crap or artificial colours etc and third it’s cheaper. The one thing I can’t reconcile with all our Bangladeshi restaurants in the city is that they’ve pitched their main meals at top dollar prices but this is not reflected in the quality, portion size or the taste of the food. The fact is I had enough of crap Bangladeshi food some time back and the nickel and dimeing by Spice of India. The chap in there can nickel and dime like the best of them. The Water Street place put me off for life in this city. Our response - if we want a good ‘Indian’ meal we go to Indian Ocean Glengormley (they’ve also places in Hollywood & Carrickfergus) or Bengal Brasserie Lisburn Road Belfast as a second choice. Fact is while both places are a bit more expensive the quality in these places is so many, many times better. Our Bangladeshi restauranteurs would do well to buy a take away from Indian Ocean - Match the quality there. Match the price too and business will flow. Quality will always out.

Chicken burgers and washed down with strawberry milk shake very poor today and costly they must have changed recipes terrible I normally sing and praise them 😔

The chicken and ham and cheese sandwich was amazing

Great restaurant & cafe ... been here many times with my kids .. There is so much choice great service and staff who work very hard...Highly recommend this place and wheelchair pram friendly....

Beautifully clean and spacious toilet accessible to mobility limited. Bench seating has two power outlets (with two USB sockets) for each pair of spaces ! A selection of newspapers is available for customers to read.

Went in for lunch, lots of young girls standing around, was excited to to this place. I ordered a ham and cheese panini, no side garnish and it was over cooked with very little filling, £7.50.and tiny.shocking, I mentioned to the girl how gross it was and over priced but she just looked at me and walked off, I thought about returning it but had already paid and no staff available to talk to, would not return..

Had a really unfortunate experience. Despite normally receiving decent food and service, tonight poor packing mean our takeaway order was partly inedible. Burgers in boxes packed "opening side" faced down, tipping the contents of the box into the bag. Noone wants their food like this. Please take care and think it out when packing and order.

A nice, simple dining experience. Great American-diner style decor and fantastic tunes. Food is always fresh and tasty.

Ordered 2 Chinese banquets for takeaway. Most of it was OK nothing fantastic but no complaints except for the crispy duck and pancakes. The duck was completely burnt to a cinder and I mean it was literally charcoal. No could eat it and it all went in the bin.
