Bombay Diner 200 Barrack Street, Carlow, County Carlow R93 D231

"Used to be great, now it's like paying for scraps. €9 gets you two single prawns, €6 is literally burnt, deep fried vegetable waste. So called lamb? ..grizzled offcuts at best. My advice is not to bother, the standards of Bombay Diner have fallen through the floor ... you would get better food by dumpster diving out the back of Tesco. Complete rip off ...spend your money elsewhere."

"Food was okay, but too oily Service was very slow and nobody actually bothered to check on the customers regularly and also to take the order. Even though the restaurant was almost empty with 2-3 people, who were also finishing their food. Seems like there was no good respect or value to the customers who visit this restaurant. Even after so many similar reviews given by other customers, there are no improvements or changes made. I agree with almost all the comments related to service."

"Food was rotten and musty. The smell of it was all over the house. Rang the restaurant they did not care and told me if I am looking for a refund that is all I want, then never refund me. This is really dangerous and can poison anyone eats from that place."

"Food was great but the service quite appalling. Like, how hard is it to serve the only three tables that were dining, I wonder what is the experience like when all tables are occupied, I doubt it ever does with such behaviour. Lack of staff attending tables or even caring if the customer wants anything. Just hiding behind the desk and kitchen doesn't run a restaurant!! Also if you don't have some items in the menu then don't have it in the menu. It didn't look like staff wanted to serve people. Server not familiar with menu not asking if the dishes are to be prepared mild or hot or normal. After finishing eating we literally had to wait for more than 25 minutes and no one would even come out to see if we need anything or we want to pay the bill etc. Another surprise is when another customer came in at exactly an hour or 55 mins before closure and they said they will do only take away and not dine in. It was crazy to think that a restaurant who are not at all busy and has a sparse footfall will do this !! The two stars although are only because the food was good, not super good but just good."

"Went for Sunday lunch, great value and service, good selection of food to choose from. Could put a little tag on food to let you know what each dish is but no problem asking and they let you know each dish..would recommend Sunday lunch would go again and try the evening sit down."
