    <comment>It was the firts time that I visited this restaurant.I went for the Thai Green Curry- I think I've tried that in every single Thai restaurant and with every take-away in the greater Dublin area- and this is one of the better ones!!  The service is good and prompt, the staff are very nice and possibly the only authentic Thai thing in the place. A wonderful place</comment>

    <comment>Decided to go for a spur-of-the-moment dinner with my boyfriend here - a 2 course meal for 2 with bottle of wine for €50 seemed like a fantastic deal!

I was quite impressed with the selection on the menu - with these "special offers" you are usually quite limited with the dishes you can order - however there were about 6 or 7 choices here, and 5 choices from starters.

I went for the veggie spring rolls and the sweet and sour prawns. Both dishes were abolutely delicious! The prawns were large enough and so tasty, and full me up. Well, not so much that i didn't want dessert :-) This is where I minus-ed a point for food, otherwise I would have given it 5! We both ordered the Chocolate fudge cake...well it looked like the weirdest fudge cake I've ever ordered! It was a round shape, and also tiny. It was ok to eat, but I've had much nicer before. And for 5.95, so not worth it.

The service overall was good, we were waiting a while before our order was taken though.

But overall, this menu deal is fantastic, and will defintitely be back! (without the dessert ;-))
