Stumbled in without expecting much. Food was genuinely good and came fast. Quiet inside but loads of takeaway orders going out.

Went to Aroi last week for a quick dinner. Got the Lamb Massaman and it was proper tasty. Rich, creamy, real depth of flavour. Reminded me of the food I had in Thailand years back. Nasi Goreng looked good too, my mate had it. Place was busy enough but we got a table easy. Not the cheapest but the portions are decent. I&#39;d go back.

Stopped in for a quick dinner. Curries were solid, egg fried rice done right. Staff left me alone until I needed them, which I appreciate. Place is comfortable enough for a solo meal. No complaints, decent spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something reliable.

The food came out fast and was tasty &mdash; loved that it&#39;s so close to the castle. Tables were a bit sticky though, which was a small letdown.

Solid feed. Tiger on draught was a nice touch. Got a free starter off the chef too. Bit pricey for what it is, but the food&#39;s good. Wouldn&#39;t say no to going back.

The duck spring rolls were proper chunky and packed with flavour. Green curry was class too, loved being able to pick the spice level. Loads of chicken and prawns in it.

Stopped by for a quick bite and the Nduja pizza really hit the spot. Good amount of spice, crust was nice and chewy. The Caprese was fresh too, tomatoes actually tasted like something. Staff were friendly enough, didn&#39;t have to wait long for a table. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something reliable.

Came for a birthday dinner, staff sorted a chocolate treat with a handwritten note. Food was solid, service stood out more than the dishes. Decent spot if you&#39;re nearby.

Stopped in here on a whim and honestly it was decent. Got the set menu, prices are fair for what you get. Food came out quick and tasted good, nothing crazy but solid. Place has a nice buzz to it, not too loud. Service was friendly enough. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Decent spot for a casual meal. Singapore noodles and massaman curry were pretty good, portions fair for the price. Nothing fancy but it does the job.

Been coming here for years, always sit outside when the weather allows. Right across from the castle, so you get all the foot traffic going by. Food&#39;s consistent, never had a bad pint either. Not the cheapest in town but you&#39;re paying for the location really. Still my go-to spot when I&#39;m meeting someone in Kilkenny.

Great spot for a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and there&#39;s often live music on weekends. A true taste of Irish pub culture.

Food was decent &mdash; I got the chicken dish and it came out well presented, pretty tasty. Service was friendly enough, nothing to complain about. Took a takeaway once and it wasn&#39;t quite as good as eating in, but that&#39;s probably on the travel time. Fine spot if you&#39;re nearby.

I had a fantastic dining experience here! The food was delicious, especially the spicy chicken wings and fish &amp; chips, both served fresh and hot. The cocktails were excellent too!

Great spot for a night out&mdash;live music, darts, and a lively crowd. The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome, especially if you&#39;re in a big group.
