We went there for lunch yesterday as it looked all right from the outside and unfortunately we did not turn back when we saw quite a bland and uninteresting inside, with plastic roses on tables, let me add. The waitress was pleasant and prompt however she had long, pointy, vampire like silver nails which gave us creeps. The food was the worst I've ever tasted in a restaurant. We ordered the special which was prawn stirfry with coconut milk. It was completely tasteless and included mainly fried onion - we couldn't believe what we got for 13 euro! The 3rd dish was salad with beef which was equally horrible with meat you couldn't possibly chew. To be honest I don't think there is a chef in this place as my 5 yr old niece could do better. Avoid at all costs!!!

i propose a change of name for this restaurant i genuinely believe it should be called house of cajan, they put it everywhere and i mean everywhere i must say haveing cajan on a salid was a new expierence for me and for the side of chips i had i was forced to shake off all the cajan before i could eat one. everything we were served was coated in cajan and as for its presentation, it was just a mess of stuff on a plate i wonder now was all the cajan just a cover up for really poor quality ingreadience served in a less than appetising way. the drinks list i had to turn over to see where the rest of it was if i had seen the food first i wouldnt have been surprised maybe i should have used the toilet first then i might have known. but i do now and i ask you not to make the same mistake as me

The worst restaurant I've ever been to in Ireland and here is why. Empty on a Monday night but that could be explained away, service was promt also, couldn't complain about it. Food was terrible! Starter shared was potato dumplings, perlitos (sic), all i can say is that they were hot, tasteless but hot. Main course of a pizza with spicy beef, jalepenos & mushrooms, tasteless, not spicy and I only ate a 1/4 of it. My girlfriend got the chicken fajitas, which arrived on a plate and not a sizilling platter as you'd expect, the chicken was processed within an inch of its life, the sauce tasted like sweet and sour and the rice with it was meant to balsmati, was certainly not. The whole lot came to €29, definitely not cheap for reasonable food but down right outrageous for this restaurant.
