The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Ballymena North Eastern NI

Lovely staff, nice food and very reasonably priced. But would love to see some vegan options added to the menu it would bring in a lot of business:)

This is a lovely place to have lunch or a snack from modern and unique menu options. The lounge has really comfortable seating and tables. Coffee is really good and a window seat treats you to lovely views over the monastery grounds. Its a great place for meeting up with friends or family or sitting solo chilling with the paper.

Not the best meal I've had I ordered the haddock and chips everything tasted of garlic and the haddock was swimming in mushy peas. I've had the same meal in Coleman's and Jake's bar in Antrim much better and cheaper. Out of 10 I'd give the Halfway house a 5 .

Called in for brunch and we e weren't disappointed. Food and coffee were delicious, we will be back soon! Staff were helpful and pleasant also!

So the portrush store doesn’t seem to be available on trip adviser having had a great experience in the ballymena store as locals we were delighted to find there is a portrush store unfortunately having visited today as a family of 4 whilst staff were very friendly the bill of £19 was a little extortionate for one mocha frappe one americano two soft drinks and two tray bakes ( one of which was rock hard) would hesitate to visit again ☹️

So excited to finally go here with my daughter but the experience wasn't what I expected. For the prices there is no table service you have to order at the till. I was not advised correctly when asking about the Spanish hot chocolate. It isn't a drink it comes in a bowl for dipping biscuits in. I specifically asked was it like a normal hot chocolate you could drink and was told yes. I ordered coffee and 2 savoury pancakes. Paying by card I was asked to select what tip I wanted to leave. Feeling like I had no option I left one. Then we waited on our food. I had to go and order tea after the "drinks" arrived as the Spanish hot chocolate is not a drink and leave another tip. We waited again and after 35 minutes of waiting I asked for a refund. To be told that the food order hadn't been sent to the kitchen. We didn't have time to wait any longer. When the refund was being done they didn't ask what of your tip you would like refunded. I don't mind paying for service but we didn't get any. Can't review the food as we didn't get any of that. Won't be back. Sometimes best to stick to the places you know.

Quiet little gem, serving yummy homemade food with friendly staff. First visit but will be back. Recommend the pineapple delights .

Disappointed with our first visit to The Lab in Portglenone. The place is very small and not at all family/child/pram friendly. The tables and floors were all dirty. The staff were not friendly at all. Like didn't crack a smile one. The food was okay. Not enough to want to go back.

very friendly staff and the food was lovely and service very prompt

A superb lunch/dining experience. Good choice of food good food and great friendly staff. Been a few times and will definitely go back. Good parking outside. Great scenery too.

It's a great wee place in the sun. Staff are very friendly

This was the first time I was in this little cafe. I was pleasantly impressed by the friendlies and helpful staff, especially the girl with blonde hair tied up. I had a sweet chilli chicken with sweetcorn and mayo toastie with a side salad and a small half shot decaf cappuccino sprinkled with chocolate 😋 I will call in again. If I am in Ballymena 😊

Some things are little to expensive, but the rest is amazing, nothing to complain about, girls or guys, who ever works there are amazingly friendly and respectful. I hope, they get paid more than in others places. Who ever owns the place, open more of these, maybe open like a mobile one which goes to different places for example red arrows or north west 200, festivals etc, anyways nice place

Excellent food, very friendly service, great selection available on menu and of baked goods. The baked goods are very generously portioned - it's the sort of place where you want to try everything in sight! The restaurant seating area inside is very quaint with mismatched tables and chairs but limited in size, although there is outdoor seating available if weather permits. I cannot fault the quality of the food but be warned however, it is a little on the expensive side e.g. £10 for a filled soda and £5.80 for one sausage roll. There is a toilet available in a nearby wooden shed but bizarrely the is a sign inside which says "This toilet is not part of the Creamery Can and should not be reviewed as such" - which makes no sense whatsoever. It was badly in need of a deep clean when I visited, but I was glad that it was available regardless. Either take responsibility for cleaning it, or don't allow the public to use it!

Seriously disappointed !!! 😑 We popped in for quick brunch, tiny portions and untoasted, toast. We won't be returning or recommending 👎
