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

Due to covid-19 restrictions we met in Mauds Parlour for coffee and something sweet.... lovely way to wile away an afternoon with friends... coffee excellent and great choice of very tasty traybakes... lovely friendly staff... a hidden gem...!

Great coffee lounge on the first floor and great staff - shame about the bitter, unpleasant coffee (I had an Americano).

Quality of food is good. But quantity is poor, I ordered breast of duck and received 2 small slices of a duck breast. No Merlot or Malbec wine and a burger was ordered to be told there was no burgers left. Service is poor as I was told they were understaffed but staff had time to stand and talk to each other at the end of the bar. I was looking a 2nd glass of wine during our meal but no-one came near us while we were eating. At the end of our meal no-one came to offer desserts, tea or coffee. We paid the bill and pointed out these short comings.

Best curried chip in the country by a mile!

I’m leaving a review after multiple visits, with zero improvement in well over a years timeframe. Coffee is so-so, and overpriced, but can live with that, the food tends to be left out and on the couple of occasions I’ve grabbed something to eat, it’s obvious it’s not freshly made, had been on a shelf all day. The main reason however for the 1 star rating however is the staff. Unfriendly, uninterested and in more than one occasion, quite rude. They cannot even feign interest in serving you, I asked one person for a chair on one occasion and she all but rolled her eyes, the effort to walk 5 steps to bring it, as I could not carry it myself. It surprises me that it’s still relatively busy when I pass it, as this place genuinely have the poorest staff of any restaurant or coffee shop I’ve ever been in here at home or abroad.

Had a nice lunch here of a chicken wrap and ham and cheese toastie with coffee. The decor is very rustic with unusual corrugated iron fittings. Service was a bit slow and we had finished our coffees before our sandwiches came. There was also a workman next door drilling which was very annoying. Surely he could have waited until lunchtime was over.? There were so many other cafes and restaurants in Magherafelt that we will try on our next visit
