The best restaurants in The Diamond Derry Western NI

My mum and I called today to have a quick bite to eat and where greeted by he loveliest staff member who we later found out was called Loretta. From the moment we arrived she couldn’t have been more helpful, nothing was a bother. It was very refreshing to be greeted and treated in such a friendly manner. well Done Loretta! We will be back!

Wonderful little gem .. had a beautiful lunch with the grandkids ..was served by a lovely blonde woman with glasses.. and hairband ...so friendly...The service was great ..the food was great ...and we ll will be back and recommending to our friends and family. ..

My family had a night out, 13 of us went to Rainbow. The young girl who took the order done her best but there were too many extra sides and 2 main meals too many. It was the next day I realised that I had been seriously over charged for mains and sides that we didn't order. I called in to the restaurant when it was quiet and approached staff to discuss the order (in a pleasant appraoch) and was quite rudely told by a middle aged female member of staff that the extra food was left on the table and so it must be paid for. My wife ordered an extra "portion of chicken" which they charged us for "a chicken curry with no veg or curry sauce" (most expensive side I've ever paid for), they also brought out an extra chicken fried rice main meal which nobody ordered and supposedly left it on the table. I explained that we ordered 8 main adult meals and there were 10 main meals on the order. The lady was dismissive and rude and basically told me that the food order on the reciept was provided and she fully supported that the "extra portion of dry chicken" was okay to be charged as "A chicken Curry with no Veg or curry sauce" (shocking) . There was also extra portions of chips and 2 extra portions of curry to the table that we didn't order which they kindly added to my bill.. there was loads of extra food left (that we didn't order).. The ladies attitude was terrible and after getting nowhere talking I said that I will not be back and she replied smartly "OKAY - BYE".. As for the food, it was greasy as hell. the floor was slippy with grease. Lesson learned - Neither me or my family will ever step foot in the place again. As for the owners, have a word with the staff about customer service, maybe teach the older lady member of staff some customer care. Advice - stand clear.

We highly recommend this restaurant. The food was excellent. The staff very personable- very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere lovely.

This is a lovely wee place, lovely staff, friendly punters, great music from local talent on Saturday evenings..definitely will be back more often

Can't praise highly enough the catering platters created for a party event. Great variety, very fresh, very tasty. Would definitely use again.

My friends and I were walking around the wall and I needed to use the lavatory. I saw the Anchor Bar so one of my friends and I stopped in. While she used the facilities, I ordered us 2 half pints. The lady tending bar was super friendly as were the folks sitting at the bar. We ended up sitting down and talking to some folks at the next table. We then texted our friends to come join us. We ended up staying for 2 or 3 rounds. The bartender came over and took a few photos for us. We had a great time there. The vibe of the place was just so laid back and friendly. We all loved it. We didn't eat so I don't even know if they offer food.

High quality of service by caring staff friendly fantastic people thank you for looking after us, looking forward to our next trip to the beautiful city of Derry

proper old style bar with the smell

Best fish and chips I’ve had for a while

WAS AND I SAY WAS brilliant bar...New bar staff are dismissive, ride and arrogant. Not wanting to help or explain cocktail menu. About 8 months ago brilliant attentive bar staff. Now, too focused on selfless, how the9y look and ONLY SERVING UNDER 22S...forget quality of service if your over 35 your told I DONT MAKE THE MENU JUST READ IT. Disgusted as I used to be a regular.

Nice restaurant and bar with good local food and drinks. Enjoyed the ambiance and location near the old city.

We have eaten a munes in this picturesque and unique place. Good and fast service. They had a menu for 10 and a half pounds with several options of the dishes they have on the menu. The portions were generous and we were more than satisfied. I think we'll come back for dinner too.

I'm coming to this place years now. Food is hot and good. Portions are a good size

What is the craic with the loud overbearing music? One man and his guitar crap that Derry loves these days, it doesn't need to be so loud!
