If I owned a Mediterranean/ falafel restaurant in Belfast right now I would be really worried,…read morebecause there's some serious competition on the scene. I've just had THE BEST falafel platter I've tasted in a very long time - in the recently opened Levantine on Callender Street. Absolutely delicious! Everything is vegetarian and there are loads of vegan dishes to choose from off a large menu consisting of platters, wraps, tagines, mezzas, soups and salads. Cannot wait to come back and try the eggplant falafel wrap, chilli and meat-free veggie balls...

The next 2 times however has been quite disappointing. 1. The ordering is a nightmare. They don't give you a number and don't remember who ordered so it's a bit of a free for all. No idea why they can't call out numbers on the receipt. Each time we go, someone is pissed about having waited too long. 2. The first time we went, we got hummus on the side of a delicious Halloumi wrap but the next time, there was no hummus and the wrap was completely devoid of any dressing and didn't have much filling at all. The lack of consistency is not appealing. If they manage to stick to consistent food and finally sort out their ordering process, this can be the best middle-eastern food in Belfast (in spite of being vegetarian!)

It boasts a wide range of authentic middle eastern food and the bets part is that it's inexpensive! The most expensive Falafel on their menu is £4.60 with some as little as £4. When you consider that a burger from other places along the same street can be a minimum of a fiver this is outstanding value! The whole vibe of Falafel is really laid back and the staff are extremely welcoming. The decor is traditional and the large glass front means natural light beams in to the cafe. There's also a small enclosed seating area out the front. Their sweet treat look amazing, I say look as I managed to resist. In particular there was one slice of heavily iced red velvet cake that was calling my name! I would highly recommend giving Falafel a go, a nice healthy lunch time alternative!

Belfast has a new food utopia! Forget Boojum - Mexican burritos are so last year. What if I told…read moreyou that you could eat a curry with your hands? You'd think I was mad, wouldn't you? Well I' not mad because Kurrito has just blown my mind and my taste buds. Sorry if this review seems a little all over the place, I'm still in food delirium. Right, I'm going to try and explain this is a way that everyone will understand - this is A CURRY BURRITO! The format of the place is similar to Boojum actually - you pick your meat and then you pick you additional salads, veg and sauce. I went for chicken of which they had two different types, medium and hot (in terms of spice obviously). The difference (from Boojum) apart from the curry thing I think I mentioned is that there is no queue and the portions are absolutely massive. I pretty much got a whole curry meal in a wrap. The taste was amazing, really flavoursome and authentic - absolutely no hint of processing - this is the real deal. A curry burrito will only set you back £5! This is a huge lunch - I actually ended up asking for some more foil to wrap up my leftovers for later. You can sit in or take away! I love this place and will definitely be back, probably when I'm hungover and in the need of a mega cure!

Tikka Tikka (shockingly) is an Indian Take Away restaurant on the Ormeau Road and is the haunt of drunk students swaying home after a night on the town! It's certainly a nice change from a curry chip from a Chinese. I adore Indian food and this place is certainly somewhere I'll visit again. The menu is really quite extensive and I love getting a mix of bhajis, samosas and pakoras to go with my kebab...yes I am a pig but when it comes to Indian food..more is better....especially as there's always some left for breakfast!

It is a haunt for late night revellers and students after a few pints who want to eat a nice, big kebab and chips on the way home. I have recently cut out the kebabs but in my day I woke up a number of times with a half eaten kebab by my bed and wondered what was happening to my life. In here the staff are friendly and will treat you like a regular if you are in often enough, like most kebab shops. The kebabs and curries are nice enough, just not world beating. For me, the perfect kebab is from Piccola in Bangor but this place certainly isn't the worst I have every had.

The first category is what i call 'a good old dirty' kebab, it consists of the type of kebab meat cheap and is cut in big long streaky lines. Most kebab places will offer this as standard. But every now and again you will come across a place like the Pharaoh that makes genuine kebabs where the meet is 'cut and diced' (thats the name of my second category). Mixed with Pharaohs house sauce, you have got yourself a mighty combination. Seriously sometime in your life you have to try one of these kebabs!!! There is lots of other good stuff too, burgers, chips etc

The service is attentive and friendly, and the food is quite good and varied.

The price was quite reasonable particularly with the sizes of the offerings and all comments positive on the meal. And by the way there is a fully vegetarian menu behind the regular daily one in front, the latter which does mention the potential for some of the items prepared veggie style.

As part of these birthday celebrations they gave an audience of 100 people plus a taster of what Cabaret was all about. The evening started with a crooner who was built in the mould of the original rat pack, he took on some Sinatra classics as well as some other classic sing alongs. The evening was hosted by the unbelievably entertaining Robert who sang all the classics and engaged with the audience in hilarious fashion (sitting in the front row I was inevitably on the end of some of his quips). Between Robert's songs there were talented burlesque dancers who wouldn't have been out of place in the Moulin Rouge. The club itself is deceptively roomy and the acoustics are perfect for these type of shows. There's not many other places in Belfast that couple eating and entertainment so if you haven't been down to the super club then I would suggest booking yourself in - you are guaranteed great entertainment and value for money.

So me and my mum and a couple of friends hit the Cabaret Supper club last night for their 13th…read moreBirthday bash. I've been to the venue before a few times for the general show and for some tribute acts. We were greeted at the door with a glass of bubbly, which lets face it kicks any night off to a good start! Seating wasn't assigned so being nice and early we managed to nab seats right at the front of the stage! (I believe you can reserve tables as well) Entertainment kicked off with a swing and blues singer who was very good. I love the style of music anyway so it was right up my street, My mum and I also got stuck in to a bottle of prosecco. It was nice but at the pricey range of some I've bought. At £32 a bottle it was good stuff, but I wouldn't be hurrying for more except on a special occasion. After the first bit of Entertainment platters of 'tappas' style buffet trays were brought round. This was a little different for me as I'd only ever eaten the full sit down dinner before in the venue (Which are great) The food was fantastic, but I think we chose the wrong seat. We had a few nibbles from the first tray and then the rest seemed to pass us by for the rest of the night. So in the end we got enough to fight off the hunger but were left wanting more. (The selection was great ranging from mini-burgers, fries, chicken goujons, pork belly and other little finger foods) The burgers especially were delicious. After food the main show kicked off. Our main host of the night was Robert Brown. I've worked with Robert in the past and I know how great a performer he is so it was nice to see other people who hadn't react to him. I was particularly impressed by the drag performer Cherrie who had an amazing voice and a great repertoire of songs, and off course the Burlesque girls were amazing. (There was a gentleman in the audience I am sure was drooling at one point and was completely mesmerised by the whole show. Also props for the girl who did the take on Jessica Rabbits scene from 'Who framed Roger Rabbit!) We finished up the second half of the show with a nice bottle of Chilean rose wine. It was nice, but again a tad on the pricey side, at £18 a bottle, just above the average and with a nice sweet bouquet it was ok, but think I'll hit the pints next time to save the wallet so close to the end of the month. Overall the Cabaret Supper Club is a great night out, the performance is great and the food is good. (I think the average price for dinner and show is around £30 per head so its very good value) Its a unique experience that will leave you wanting to come back for more. Bravo!
