Celebratory prosecco
Ciara S.

It's time I re-reviewed Kitch as I've now dined here numerous times. My first review was 5 stars and with this review I'm 5 starring them again. For me personally, Kitch is the best restaurant in Belfast. This is the sort of food that I would choose for my last meal on earth as it's so delicious. Kitch offer an extensive, dedicated Vegetarian menu and can Veganise many dishes on request. From Monday to Wednesday It's BYO and for the rest of the week you can choose from their well selected and reasonably priced wine list. Cocktails and liquor coffees are superb as well. By now I've eaten my way through most of the veggie menu having sampled the vegetable tempura, salt & chilli tofu, tofu satay skewers, flatbreads, vegetarian sliders, wild mushroom tagliatelle, roast butternut squash risotto and numerous desserts (the lemon posset is amazing). I've loved every single dish l've had. Plus I've eaten in Kitch with friends, family and work colleagues both vegetarians and carnivores and everyone else has loved the food too. If I could criticise one thing it would be that the chairs are not the most comfortable, however they're not so bad that I would knock a star off for this. The staff are friendly and helpful, decor quirky and casual and atmosphere relaxed. Most importantly of all the food is fantastic. I absolutely love this little restaurant.

I've been to Kitch twice now and I already can't wait to go back. The Food is absolutely amazing and the service is outstanding. Kitch have a great menu - I opted for 3 small plates - deep fried feta cheese with caramelised onion, potato bravas with chorizo and chicken wings. All this for £10 and it was enough for a main meal. It was so good I ordered more to take-away. Oh and it's BYO on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday.

Evening menu
Orlagh M.

Went here last night on recommendation from Yelp manager Stevie What a place!! This is too cool! The decor for starters is very laid back with mis matched chairs (I swear some were from my old school canteen lol!) with funky art on the wall ranging from a pic of Bob Marley to an huge canvas of Harland & Wolff! We were welcome warmly by the male host...who was so charming, down to earth and truly made the night for us (along with the food) We were able to bring our own wine which they allow mon, tues & wed nights, but they have an extensive wine list too The food...O.M.G!!! It was outstanding! We shared two starters...the salt&chilli squid, and the Korean chicken wings (recommended by Stevie) they were gorgeous! So tasty...could've happily sat and ate these all night no bother lol! For mains, I had the crispy seabass with mash & portavogie prawns, my friend chose 3 sliders (mini burgers) she chose pulled pork&bbq sauce, lamb with harissa, and southern fried chicken) and it came with 3 matching dips for each burger, and fried The mains were amazing...no word of a lie...it was truly gorgeous! For dessert, a hot choc brownie with vanilla ice cream which I can't believe we ordered seeing we couldn't breathe we were that stuffed lol! Again...lush! The only minor downside was the female staff weren't particularly enthusiastic, I wouldn't call them rude, but cracking a smile wouldn't be the worst thing in the world lol! Not to be deterred by less than welcoming females, I highly rate this place and can't wait to go back!

The Korean chicken wings.
Clare P.

First visit to kitch and I can't wait to go back. We went as a party of three before a belsonic gig. For starters I had the Korean chicken wings which were amazing, I had heard so much about them and they didn't let me down. The others had the popcorn prawns and the squid. The batter on the prawns was so light and fluffy. The squid was cooked perfectly. For my main I had the beef brisket served with mash, greens and gravy. The beef itself was so tender and literally melted in my mouth. The girls went for the shepherds pie and the flatbread. The flatbread looked a bit dry but when we asked for cheese to be added to it the staff were more than helpful. We decided to go for liquid desserts, 2 espresso martinis and an amaretto coffee. Monday to Wednesday it is bring your own but kitch have a great drinks list too including cocktails. That's another added to the list of great restaurants in belfast.

Wow! Fresh, farm-to-table, feel good, and gourmet all in one cute cafe. I had the kale salad with roasted butternut squash, grilled halloumi, and a Dijon vinaigrette and it was so good. My boyfriend had the fish and chips with hake and scalloped potatoes in a tomato and onion beurre blanc sauce and declared that he had "won" lunch and though mine was incredible, his was indeed even better. The portions were a bit small but that left room for dessert AKA THE BEST STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING EVER! Seriously, the butterscotch sauce was divine and I want it drizzled on every dessert ever from now on.

super yummy seafood entree (crispy fish and prawns)
Melina H.

Kitch was super close to our hotel, and both the food and service was on point. Management was also nice. Two things to note - they had some issues in the ladies bathroom due to the rain outside. Definitely watch out for that. Second - they overcharged for our drinks. We dined during happy hour, and had all of our drinks in the allotted time period. When we wanted to pay out, it was a bit of a process to get our tab corrected. So, check your tab before you pay.

Chicken supreme
Julie M.

Being given the task of organising a work dinner always comes with a lot of pressure. You need to please everyone (especially your boss) with every aspect. I did a lot of research before finally selecting kitch, based on price, menu and, most importantly, it's yelp reputation. I can happily report that not only did my colleagues enjoy themselves, some have actively suggested it for Christmas. Phew! Paul was very helpful on the phone and didn't get annoyed at my constant changing of attendee numbers, even when extra just turned up at the restaurant. The food was amazing. I had the cajun chicken flatbread which was a great size and certainly ticked all my boxes. The white wine was actually one of the best house wines I have had, which is definitely a compliment. I made sure to try a few glasses to make this a fair test of course. I didn't have a starter or desert but they also looked amazing, with the mussels getting a huge thumbs up. The decor itself us very informal and not where you would go for a posh evening. But it suited us perfectly. We had 21 people and they provided us with one u shaped table, much better than any set up I've had before where you don't see most people for the whole night. Overall it was great food at a great price. Only one pointer for the restaurant... Perhaps your bar staff should eat their pot noodles in private in future!

Feta fritters, honey balsamic and onion jam
Steven S.

Always nice to see a new restaurant pop up in this area of town, even nicer to see one that is regularly busy, and for a good reason. The food in Kitch is not only delicious, but with generous portion sizes, it is also great value for money. The decor feels nice and homey, and while when I first visited it I thought it was a bit cramped, it honestly didn't bother me since I was too busy enjoying the food. The starters are big enough to share between two people, the staff are very friendly and welcoming, plus it's close to the cinema/bars if you want to go for a nice date night.

Honey Chili Chicken

Wandered in after seeing great Yelp reviews. Located near our hotel it was a quick walk. The atmosphere was calm. As the night progressed, locals began to enjoy them selves loudly as the drinks flowed. The Irish spirit was in the air! The food was delicious. We started with the Honey Chili Chicken which had us fighting over the last piece! For our main course we shared the Shepherds Pie and the Beef Brisket.. both were delicious. The service started wonderful, but as more patrons entered we were left waiting for our bill for quite some time, eventually we made our way to the bar to pay, as it seemed our bill wasn't coming anytime soon.

Beef brisket
Phil R.

Kitch is BYO Mon-Wed The cocktails we got with dinner were great and not too pricey aswell. The menu covers a lot of bases from meat/fish lovers to veggies. I ordered a herb crusted beef brisket which came with mash and the best gravey i have tasted in a long time! The beef was tender and moist, which some other places find hard to do. Will be defo be coming back here again soon.

Henk D.

The lentil burger and the kale salad were outstanding! All we had to do was say the word vegan and they made sure everything met our needs.

Starter: honey chili chicken... so good!

Excellent starter... honey chili chicken! Yum! I had the chicken supreme...so good! I thoroughly enjoyed the white truffle gravy. My husband had the braised beef... also very good! Excellent service

Popcorn prawns are SO good!
Amanda S.

We're in town on a quick jaunt, and wanted to check out something local for dinner. Having checked reviews on Yelp, my husband, 10-year-old daughter, and I decided it a try. The inside atmosphere was simple but warm, and there was great music playing. We had popcorn prawns for starters, which were simply stellar. I had the Shepherd's Pie, which is made with roasted lamb. Oh goodness, unbelievable. So perfect! My husband had the brisket, which he deemed "fabulous" (not a word he uses lightly). My daughter had mini burgers and declared them the best she's ever had. The staff were all so friendly and we enjoyed chatting about music and the town. If you're in the area, you'll do yourself a favor to stop in here!

It could be a fairly alright 3 star on a good day but I opt for 2 stars. First we were crammed…read morecheek by jowl into a window table for 2, so close to other diners that their conversations were audible without our having to work at it. The family to my left were critical of the food but told the waiters it was 'lovely' on the four occasions I heard them being asked. This also annoyed them. There was also a dispute between them whether to go for a pint to 'Laverys' afterwards. The father clearly wanted to, his wife and daughter were lukewarm & hostile respectively and the son in law or potential in law was too polite to decline. So they unhappily agreed to disagree and went off two by two. When the male waiters (no female wait staff) attended the tables either side of us their elbows were inches from the side of my head with their movements occasionally forcing me move sideways. One waiters' derrière was 2 inches from my butter chicken a few times. Hardly a romantic setting. Once wedged in we got 2 'complimentary' pappadams with 3 dips. I asked for a Nepalese beer only to be told they don't have any so I ended up with an over-priced Singha beer, most likely brewed in Carlsberg's Russian plant that distributes to most of Europe. I imagine if these folk really are Nepalese they'd proudly flog their Khukuri beer and Hinwa and Dadaghare wines. I got the small one at £3.5 which works out at £6 a pint. My wife got a mini bottle of white wine at £4.5 which is £18 a 75 ml bottle. The young waiter who said his only job was serving booze did suggest I'd be able to get some Nepalese beer in London, but I thought it was a tad far to go for a beer at 8pm on a Saturday night in Belfast. It's a well overpriced place, with my paneer cheese starter at £6 when £4 would be fair. My butter chicken main was £13 when a fair price would be £11. They do that deception where meat is cut into cubes to give the impression of plenty, bulked out by copious cheap sauce. The menus don't mention that chemical food colouring is used. I'm not a fan of these food colourings, so I'm disappointed when I see vividly red food being served up. I'm also peeved that the use of chemical colourings is not mentioned on the menu either. My paneer starter had 5 pieces of almost tasteless cheese in a lightish batter, with a smidgen of hot sauce staining the plate, a morsel of lettuce, a sliver of carrot & a cucumber slice. My butter chicken was near scarlet, packed with sugar, with small chunks of equally bright chemically red chicken. My wife had an overpriced chicken pakora starter (3 battered bits should be £2 cheaper) with a similar smear of hot sauce, morsels of carrot, lettuce & cucumber. Her overpriced main (£17) was meant to be a sizzling dish but it wasn't. Not that we minded, as sizzling just means that the very hot iron plate on which the food sits is drizzled with cold cooking oil. Again this main was bulked out with lots of fried onions with some shards of green pepper made to look a generous portion, but there wouldn't have been £3 worth of meat on the plate. The boiled basmati rice was perfectly cooked, the small vegetable curry accompaniment was watery and lukewarm. The nan bread isn't nan bread as it's too thin to be proper nan: so it it's a crisp bread, probably 20p to make the dough turning into a £2 price tag. The service was effusive, nearly as sugary sweet and artificial as the butter chicken but when I know I'm being ripped off I don't tip. We'd paid handsomely for two 'free' pappadams with dips. We were asked at least three times about our food. I said read my review but I guess I wasn't understood. We paid near £53 for a two course meal for two with a small drink each, so it was well overpriced once it went above £40. I suspect it's just another Pakistani restaurant which has come up with the wheeze of Nepalese cuisine and the ancient romantic Kathmandu as devices to overcharge and how. If this is dining in times of austerity I'd hate to see their price structure if we ever see good times. Back to M&S butter chicken - wonderful for a factory made meal and without artificial muck too.

Have eaten in Kathmandu Kitchen twice now and it is nice. Visually this is a dated restaurant and…read morewas chilly on my first visit but much warmer second time round. I found the food pleasant, but spice levels too high for my taste. Having tried mains of Chana Masala (chickpeas) and Vegetable Bhuna I found them much spicier than I would have preferred. These usually are mild to medium dishes and indeed were marked as medium spiced on the Kathmandu Kitchen menu - but they were fiery hot. Also, be careful when ordering, as the vegetarian dishes sometimes seem to contain paneer - so if you are vegan you will have to be aware of this and specify no paneer cheese. Complimentary poppadoms were a nice touch.

Giro's Cafe - Vegan Cookery Demonstration by Kim Close (Jan 2016)

Giro's Cafe has been in existence for many years having been located in a few different buildings…read more However, it's currently within 'The Centre' (aka The Warzone Centre), Unit 9 Bruce House, Little Victoria Street, Belfast. This Vegan and Vegetarian Cafe is run completely by unpaid volunteers, hence the opening times can be irregular. However, those who run it do so with a love and passion for promoting the Vegan lifestyle and food served here is mouth-wateringly delicious. I've visited Giro's on a couple of occasions to attend events run by 'Plant Based Living' the non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting healthy plant based diets. I was amazed by the food each time. On my first visit I sampled a warming, hearty winter stew served with crusty bread. My second visit (yesterday 26.01.2016) was for a cookery demonstration by chef Kim Close. The main theme of this demonstration being Vegan cheese. Kim showed us how to make our own cashew cheese from scratch which was surprisingly simple and startlingly delicious! Said 'cheese' was then flavoured and we tasted the resulting savoury cream cheese with garlic and sun dried tomatoes on crackers. Even unflavoured the cashew cheese was tangy and exquisite. Dessert was a fresh ginger, lime and blueberry cashew cheese cake! Everything was fresh, tasty and delectable and all attendees at the event were delighted. The food was polished off in no time! At yesterday's Vegan Event I heard Giro's Café will next be open on Wednesday 24th February 2016 at 7pm. It's a relaxed, no need to book in advance and casual affair. Food will be a warming pot of something which will be decided closer to to the time and everyone's welcome. It's BYOB and in line with the Warzone Collectives DIY Anarchist roots you can re-arrange the tables to suit yourself and your dinning companions, bring a book and read, study, sketch, chat with friends or just chill and eat. Plus as Giro's is always on the lookout for volunteers you can also feel free to chip in and help out with the cooking or washing up if you so fancy it! Food is exceptionally cheap for such high quality, being in the region of 50p for a coffee, £3 for a main and £1 for a cupcake. Unrivalled value in this day and age! The best way to keep track of Giro's Café opening hours and events is to like and follow their Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/GirosCafe/.

The dining room was painted dark warm tones and had the feel of a cabin. We were seated immediately and placed an order for cocktails. Our table got the blood orange margarita, old fashioned, and white peach martini. The drinks were incredibly tasty and were such a hit that we ordered another round. For our main food, we got the house bread which came warm and crispy and was paired with delicious bread and olive tamponade. We also got the beef dumplings which in my opinion were not dumplings, but closer to a perogi. They were crispy and umami. Two of us got the chicken main and the other two got the pasta with beef cheek/mushroom and the fish with clams. Everything was amazing! All proteins were juicy and succulent; all veggies were prepared perfectly and seasoned well; and all carbs were complimentary to the dishes. To finish our experience, we ended with the mind blowing sticky toffee pudding. I have no words. I understand why this is such a popular dessert in the UK. WOW. Home was a 10/10 and completely deserved the Michelin recognition. We hope all travelers give this restaurant a chance - it will blow you away.

The lack of consistency is not appealing.

The guy with blue eyes behind the bar asked how long I was in town for, hoping that I would come back after being turned away... NO THANK YOU . Excellent service for my first hour in Ireland . Update 04-28-2026: wow, I can't believe how both the business and employee (Pearse Duffy) both responded. Completely unprofessional, Dishonest, and Disrespectful treatment of a traveler who just wanted a warm meal. Whatever you're talking about having "all orders 2 hrs before posted time" isn't working because the tall Asian woman in the white sweater walked in and out, just after I did. So I'm not the only one who is being mislead and dismissed for your ignorance and arrogance. You clearly need to make your hours more obvious, change how you display them, or do something else, because I am not the only person having this problem. What you're current doing regarding your hours, or handling of negative reviews is not working! I posted this review to help both this business and any future potential customers from making the same mistake that I did. The correct response would be : I'm so sorry that happened to you, will change it right away. But to call me obnoxious for pointing out a valid criticism? Bizarre behavior from an established restaurant. As for Pearse Duffy, the disgruntled employee who turned me away after laughing at me, noted that it is his 2nd week working in the harassing Facebook message that he sent me, and it shows... The correct response would have been; I'll tell my manager right now to update the hours on Google so that this doesn't happen again. I'm so sorry, what can I do to make this right? Not laughing at me, stalking me, and sending me a harassing message on my Facebook profile. If he contacts me again, I will be submitting all of this information to the local authorities, and filing a police report. This is not how you handle an upset customer, as either a business or an employee. This is exactly how you ruin your reputation and get fired. Stalking an upset customer and then sending them a harassing message over an honest review is grounds for immediate dismissal in any industry. This is a terrible look for your employee, your management, and your business. This is no way to handle a business or a customer, I hope someone who knows how to sees this updated review.
