We stopped with our 91yo mother and extended family. We had the most delicious lunch. I had the goat cheese sambo, the bread was excellent - sourdough roll. Portion size was just perfect. The very best chocolate biscuit cake which is made on the premises is worth driving from Dublin for. The owner John & his staff are welcoming and very friendly. Will definitely be back.
Called in for new-years lunch; to treat myself, first day back at work.
So glad I found this cozy little spot! The staff are just so welcoming & friendly (even when their so busy!) Treated every customer like family, no wonder it was full of locals.
Food was hot & tasty, served speedy.
I got dessert to go, because it was a busy period didnt want to hold a table for just me...
Highly recommend Chicken wrap & almond/pear tart. Their window display for Christmas was amazing too. So worth a visit. Ill definately be back x
Sarah Louise,
Thank you for your fabulous review. This review makes all the hard work worthwhile and your comments about the team are much appreciated because each and everyone of them have the biggest hearts and work so hard. Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words. Best wishes from all the team at Karibas.
We went here with my girls for little lunch. The man who served us was lovely, very friendly and chatty. We had 2 kids meals which was chicken goujons and chips, and kid's sandwich, and a caesar salad. Food was OK, nothing special, I thought the wait was a bit long. My salad was small, not the best caesar honestly. Then we got huge chocolate cookie which was delicious. All together was 35euro.
It's a nice clean place with ok food.
