Ah the wonderful Irish anomaly of the Italian chipper. The rest of the world associates Italy with pasta and ice-cream, and we associate Italy with a single and a batter burger!
Borza, and this one prides itself on being the original Borza, is a classic Irish-Italian chipper, and certainly one of the best chippers in the city. This family business produces some of the best chips you will ever taste - they even stand up to sober scrutiny. The chips are always fresh as the staff generally cook to order (certainly I've never been given anything less than a fresh bag of chips from them), and the Borza vinegar is so special that you might find yourself buying a bottle of it to keep for your very own!
Aside from chips Borza also serve a wide variety of other fast foods including burgers, southern fried chicken, fish and pizza. I quite like the various southern fried chicken boxes but have found myself wimping out and getting the 'Junior box' because the others are just too much! They're open daily from lunch time until late and pride themselves on only closing one day a year.
Borza also acts as a place you might find essentials such as milk, bread, and chocolate (you know: the staples!) if you find yourself out of them at an awkward time.
The downside to Borza is that if you're looking for something on the low-calorie side you're going to have to look elsewhere. These people have been known to deep fry mars bars! read more
